Creative Crew’s 2022 Holiday Gift Guide

Hello Crafty Friends!

It’s Donna Idlet here, I hope you have enjoyed all month the Kat Scrappiness Creative Crew showing you their personal TOP FIVE FAVORITE Kat Scrappiness products, that we think you need in your craft room. If you missed them, please check out the blog for more inspiration.

I’m choosing these top five items, because I either love using them or use on most cards I create ….so without further ado, here it goes.

Number 1: Embossed Rectangle Die. I love how this die, it leaves a beveled edge on the layer.

Number 2: Is the Rainbow bridge Sentiments and Rainbow Bridge Coordinating Die Set. This set is perfect to send someone that has lost a furry family member.

Here is a sample card I used all of these sets above. You can find all the details of this card here.

Number 3: The Stitched Nesting Dome Dies is a favorite! These dies are great for layering or using the largest die for a card base.

Here is a sample of a card I used the Stitched Nesting Dome Dies as a card base. You can find the details of this card here.

Number 4: Large Merry Christmas with Shadow. I love all of Kat Scrappiness words with shadows, the large ones are so nice because you can create a card just with the word dies.

Here is a sample of a card I created using the Large Merry Christmas Die with Shadow. You can find the details of this card here.

Number 5: My last item that is a must to have in your crafty room is the Christmas Gnome Stamp Set with Coordinating Dies. Those of you who may follow me, know I love to create cards with gnomes and coffee. Well, this set has it all! You can find all the details of this card here.

BONUS! Another favorite of mine is Kat Scrappiness Teflon Bone Folder & Rainbow Ombre Reverse Connecting Lock Craft Tweezer. I use these items in almost every card I create.

Quick Last Minute Christmas Cards
Can you believe Christmas is only a few days away?! I think I have everything ready, but I needed a couple more Christmas cards. I have a couple of those for you today using Kat Scrappiness dies, stamps, and embellishments.

My first card uses the Merry Christmas with shadow die cut from purple glitter paper and teal paper to match the snowflake paper from the Sugar Plum Fairies slimline paper. I popped up the sentiment on the card using dimensional adhesive. I added a plum pearl to dot the “i” in Christmas and added the 4mm sparkling clear sequins in the center of the snowflakes.

My second uses the Christmas Wishes with shadow die cut from kraft and red card stock. I paired the sentiment with a piece of the Ugly Sweater slimline paper. I used both sides of one sheet of paper from this paper pad. I die cut an Elegant Border die from red card stock and adhered it to the seam of of the two pieces of patterned paper. To finish off the card, I added a couple of Spring Leave pearls to dot the “i”s in the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by! Check out the current sale going on now in the shop for slimline products.

Glitter Christmas Tree Card

Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. I have one last Holiday card to share with you using the Christmas Tree Coverplate die with a fun technique. Below are the steps to create your own Holiday card.

Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2′ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (A2)

Step 2 – Diecut Christmas Tree Coverplate using White Cardstock (x3). Adhere all 3 layers together using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Trace the outline of the Tree on Metallic Kraft Cardstock. Trim it out adhere to the bottom of the Christmas Tree diecuts. Adhere the entire panel to the card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. (If you don’t want to fussy cut you could always trim the Metallic Kraft Cardstock to cover the entire diecut.)

Step 3 – Apply Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew inside of the Tree only. While it is still wet sprinkle Glitter Powder. This will allow the glitter to stick to the Crystal Drops. Let dry.

Step 4 – Diecut Merry Christmas With Shadow Die (only the word Merry) using Metallic Kraft Cardstock. Adhere to the card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 5 – For added interest and sparkle adhere White Diamond Sequins on the areas that has a ornament using a Crystal Katana and Collage Medium.

Merry Christmas!

Lucky Friday the 13th! It’s lucky for me because I get to share a project created with some awesome Kat Scrappiness goodies!!

For my card, I cut light blue cardstock with the cover die in the Crafters Essentials Winter Die set which gives just the right touch for a winter feel. The snowy hills, evergreen trees and fabulous deer are also included in the Crafters Essentials Winter Die set (yes, it IS an incredible die set!)

The Merry Christmas with Shadow die makes a bold and beautiful focal point! I used vellum for the ‘shadow’ and bright red cardstock for the actual words. To finish, I added the snowflakes and glittery sequins from the Snow Flurries Sequin Mix.

Hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas!

Holiday Cards in Traditional (and Not-So-Traditional) Color Combos

Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. I’ve been having fun lately playing with non-traditional colors for holiday cards, so today I thought I’d show you some traditional and not-so-traditional color combos for both Christmas and Hanukkah cards.

My first card is a Christmas one in traditional red and green.

I used the new Kat Scrappiness “Merry Christmas with Shadow Die” as the focal point. It’s quite impressive and basically fills the front of an A2 size card in landscape orientation.I die cut patterned paper for the shadow and gold foil card stock for the sentiment. The background was created using an embossing folder and green card stock. Three of Kat‘s “Christmas Red” sequins finished this card.

My second card uses the same “Merry Christmas with Shadow Die”, but this time with an olive green and black color combo . . . a bit of an unexpected Christmas color combo!

Kat’s “Gold Jewels” finished this card.

On to Hanukkah cards! I used the more traditional colors of blue and gold for my first card.

The new Kat Scrappiness “Happy Hanukkah with Shadow Die” is the focal point. The sentiment was die cut out of navy card stock and the shadow was cut from a shimmery gold. My beautiful background paper is actually an “official” Hanukkah patterned paper from my local PaperSource store. The gold sequins are built right into the paper!

Ok, now onto my non-traditional color combination for a Hanukkah card.

Once again I used the “Happy Hanukkah with Shadow Die,” but this time with cobalt blue and yellow to match the bright and bold patterned background behind it. Would you believe this background is actually a plastic Hanukkah tablecloth from a party goods store?

Here’s all four cards together.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Don’t forget to check out what’s NEW in Kat’s Shop, and follow my blog and Instagram for more “Kat Scrappiness Amazingness”!

Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (A2)

Step 3 – Diecut Crafters Essentials Winter (the hillside dies) using White Cardstock. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to the bottom diecut and Foam Tape to the top diecut.

Step 4 – Stamp Merry Critters using Gina K Amalgam Ink. Colour in images using color medium of your choice. I used Spectrum Noir Markers. Fussy cut the images and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 5 – Diecut Merry Christmas with Shadow (only using the word Merry) 3 times. The top layer using Metallic Kraft Paper and 2 White Cardstock. Glue the layers together and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 6 – Stamp Christmas sentiment using Versamark onto a scrap piece of coloured cardstock. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder and remove the excess. Heat set it with a heat tool.
