Tag: Merry Critters stamp set

Tags from Shaped Dies
Hi crafters, is everyone ready for Christmas? I’m almost there, but first I needed a few more tags.

I pulled out my various shaped dies from Kat Scrappiness. These work great to make tag dies if you don’t have the traditional shaped tag dies.

I used the same design on each of my tags. I die cut each tag from white card stock and ink blended with distress ink and snowflake stencils. I then used the same shape dies and cut them from sparkly white paper and cut a sloped edge to resemble snow banks. I adhered these directly to each coordinating tag.

All my images are from the Merry Critters stamp set from Kat Scrappiness. I stamped these on white card stock, colored them with Copics, and cut them out with my Silhouette cameo. I found Merry Christmas sentiments from my stash and added red ribbon to finish the tags.

For this round tag, I used the Stitched Scalloped Circle dies.

This tag uses the Stitched Zig Zag square dies.

My last tag used the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge dies.

Do you make your own tags? If so, do you find dies from your stash that aren’t technically tag dies?

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping! Here is a link to the Kat Scrappiness shop and direct links for products used on this card are below.

A Merry Little Christmas

Hey, everyone! It’s Kathy here and I’m thrilled to be guest designing today for Kat Scrappiness! I’ve been having too much fun playing with Kat’s awesome stamps, dies and sequin mixes!!

If you’re like me, you can’t stop making Christmas and holiday cards…they are so fun to create! This absolutely adorable Kat Scrappiness stamp set, Merry Critters, is one of my favorite holiday sets that I couldn’t wait to play with!

For my card, I first used white cardstock and the background die from the Crafters Essentials Winter dies. I love how it adds texture with the stitched swirls and embossed snowflakes! The shaker was created using Embossed Edge Circle Dies, Retro Christmas II Sequin Mix and Peppermint Candy Sprinkles (eep…they are too darn cute!) The sentiment from the Merry Critters set was embossed with WOW Super Fine Silver embossing powder on black cardstock. Each of the images were copic colored and popped up with Scrapbook Adhesive 3D foam squares.

So, who’s ready to make some Christmas cards?!!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

Q: Do you make tags for your gifts?

Christmas Stocking Card
Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with you!

Today I am featuring the Christmas Stocking Banner Die and the Stitched Winter Swirl Backdrop Die . I made a Stocking Christmas Card.

Let me share the steps to create this fun card:
1. Cut the card base in regular size. I used Cherry Cobbler Card stock of 4-1/4″x11″ with score in 5-1/2″.
2. Cut a second layer using whisper white card stock.
3. Embellish the second layer using the Stitched Winter Swirl Backdrop Die. You only need to pass your white layer through the die cut machine with the die to create the texture and perfect size.
4. If you consider necessary, resize the layer just cutting a few millimeters to let see the red border.
5. Cut two pieces of the Christmas Stocking Banner Die using whisper white card stock.
6. Arrange the banners over your decorated card base.
7. Cut the small parts of the stocking banner using garden green and cherry cobbler card stock. Paste it over the stockings alternating the colors.
8. Stamp the sentiment and birds from the stamp set Merry Critters onto Whisper White card stock.
9. Die cut the sentiment using the Stitched Sentiment Strips and with scissors, cut the little birds.
10. Paste the stamped images onto your card using double sided foam tape.
11. Embellish the stocking banner using some Penguin Sprinkles.
Thank you for stopping by and see you soon with more Christmas Inspiration.

Christmas Snow Globe Shaker

Hello,

It is time to start making Christmas cards! I have a fun and easy shaker card today. I started with a green card base and added a Christmas plaid layer one. Next I cut two layer fours, one in green and one in white. I placed the green layer askew on the plaid then added the white layer squarely on top of the green. I splattered a bit of black watered down acrylic paint to the layer for dimension.

Using the KS Merry Critters Stamp set, I stamped an assortment of the images, colored and cut them out.

Next, arrange the images to create the back drop of the shaker. We are using the KS Merry Christmas Snow Globe shaker dimensions set.

The top of the globe was coated in glue and covered with gold glitter.

Close up of the layered card stock.

The snow globe is attached to the card layers. The sentiment is stamped and embossed onto red banner and attached over the snow globe base. A few colored images are adhered to lower corners along with a few gold sequins and the shaker card is complete.

Christmas Stocking
Hi crafters, is everyone ready for Thanksgiving this week? I’m just having a small get together with my family.

For today, I have a card using the Build a Stocking die set. This is such a fun and versatile die set.

I started by die cutting the pieces of the stocking – red card stock for the stocking, chevron pattern paper for the body of the stocking, blue glitter card stock for the opening of the stocking, and white glitter paper for the snowflake. After putting the stocking together, I added sequins from the Retro Christmas sequin mix to the stocking. I added glitter on the edges by using a glue pen and loose glitter.

I used the largest Cross Stitched Rectangle die to cut out a rectangle from white card stock. I used a snowflake stencil and mermaid lagoon distress ink to create the inked background. I used more ink at the top of the card then gradually faded the ink toward the bottom.

I stamped Merry Christmas from the Merry Critters stamp set on the inked panel, adhered it to my card base, and attached my stocking using foam adhesive.

Ornament Strip and Happy Hanukkah Dies

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with you! Christmas dies are always a good tool to create a lot of cards easily and quick. Today I have two Christmas Dies from Kat Scrappiness to share with you.

To create my first card I used a Night of Navy card stock for the base and I created the second layer using the Ornate Strip Cover Plate and Adhesive Glitter Sheets from Tim Holtz. These glitter sheets are wonderful and very soft. They are like a film of glitter and the adhesive works great.

To finalize my card, I stamped one of the sentiments included on the stamp set Merry Critters from Kat Scrappiness that I stamped with Memento Paris Dusk.

If you want to see the more inspiration with the Ornament Strip Cover Plate, just click HERE.

My next card is a Hanukkah card created with the new Hanukkah Shadow Word from Kat Scrappines. The font of this die is simply amazing and you can separate it to combine with another sentiments. The base of my card is whisper white and the second layer is metallic silver. I used this layer as mat for the decorated layer. It is velvet paper totally amazing that I got in a Craft Store.

I cut several times the Happy Hanukkah Shadow Die using Metallic Silver and stocked all with liquid glue to create a great dimension. After that I pasted the bold word over the right lower side.

Here you can see another inspiration with the Happy Hanukkah Shadow Die.

Modern Christmas by Martha Lucia

Hello Kat Scrappiness friends, Martha Lucia here with you! I have two Modern Christmas Cards. My first card was made with the negative pieces of the Christmas Tree Cover Plate. If you want to see the origin of this pieces, you can click here.

I die cut the Christmas Tree Cover Plate onto Gold Glitter Sheet and before to move the die cut piece from the die, I pasted double sided foam tape over the large pieces and added a dot of glue over the small pieces. I placed the card base over the back side of the die and press it onto the die to transfer all the negative pieces.

To finalize the card, I added a stamped sentiment and some flat sequins from the Golden Anniversary Sequins and some small greens from the Sparkling Wintergreen Mix, both from the Kat Scrappiness Collection.

My next project is a colorful Christmas card that I made using the Merry Christmas Word Sentiment Shadow Die. The card base of my card is Call Me Clover Card stock. I cut a second layer using the same color of card stock and from it, I die cut the Shadow piece of the Merry Christmas Word Sentiment Shadow Die. Then I embossed this layer with a classic dotted embossing folder. I pasted the layer over the card base using double sided foam tape.

I die cut the Merry Christmas Word using silver dotted glitter from Tim Holz and paste it trough the window created on the top layer. To finalize the card, I just added two stamped images that I create with the Merry Critters Stamp set from Kat Scrappiness and colored with Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers.

Thank you for stopping by and see you soon with more Christmas Inspiration.
