    Give Thanks Dies by Martha Lucia

    Hello there, Martha Lucia here with you. Today I am featuring with detail four of the new die cuts released yesterday and today. I am so happy with these designs and I am sure that they fill out our expectations. Let me start with the cards:

    The base of my card is Basic Black card stock and the second layer is Very Vanilla. I cut several embossed squares dies of medium size to create the colorful background and I just arranged all the die cut pieces over the second layer. After paste all the embossed squares, I die cut the Gift Thanks shadow word die, using vellum for the mat and Rinea Gold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper for the letters. I pasted the entire word over the decorated background using double sided foam tape behind of the big letters. As final touch I stamped some leaves from the stamp set Happy Fall Y’all onto whisper white card stock and colored them with Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir.

    My next card was made using the Give Thanks Wreath released yesterday and the Embossed Edge Rectangle Dies.

    I cut a card base using Rich Razzleberry card stock. I dry embossed the second layer with the Leaves Swirl Darice Embossing Folder and pasted it directly over the card base. Then I cut several layers of the Give Thanks Wreath die using Old Olive card stock. I pasted the layers of the Give Thanks Wreath using on point glue. I also cut one Give Thanks Wreath onto Daffodil Delight card stock and with scissors cut the sentiment and pasted it over the top green layer.

  • Avocado Shaker Card

    Avocado Shaker Card

    Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans!

    It’s Lisa up on the blog today and I have a fun card featuring the

    brand new You Guac My World stamp set!

    I just love those cute avocados and they can really be used for so

    many different themed cards!

    I used quite a few Kat Scrappiness products on this card.

    Here’s how I put it together:

    To begin with I made a square card base from kraft card stock

    and I embossed the front with a heart embossing folder.

    Next I took the largest Stitched Scalloped Heart Die and die

    cut it out of white card stock. Since I wanted to make a shaker

    element out of the heart I used a smaller Layered Nested Heart Die

    to cut a smaller heart shape out of the layered heart.

    Once I had the middle heart cut out, I layered acetate over the

    heart shaped opening on the back of the scalloped heart.

    I then used foam tape around the heart shaped opening to make

    a well to put my shaker bits into.

    I used the Sparkling Wintergreen Sequins and the

    Mirrored Clear Solid Heart Confetti to fill my shaker window.

    Once the shaker was full I backed the heart with some light green

    patterned paper from the Lawn Fawn Gotta Have Gingham

    paper pack. Once I glued the shaker element down,  I layered the

    2 cute avocados on the bottom right of the heart that I had previously

    colored with my Copic markers and cut out on my Scan n Cut machine.

    The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I stamped it onto black card stock

     using Versamark clear ink and then heat embossed it with

     Brutus Monroe alabaster embossing powder.

    I have tried MANY MANY white embossing powder brands in the past

    and this one is the first one to give me a bright white finish without

    fading away while heating it with my heat gun.

    It’s definitely my new favorite white embossing powder!

    Once the sentiment was embossed and cooled off, I cut it out

    using a die from the Stitched Fishtail Banner Dies.

     

    Speaking of favorites, Kat Scrappiness just released their own

    Metal Die Snips to cut apart your dies that come wired together.

    They cut like butter and they have a flat edge that lets you cut right up


    close to the die so it doesn’t leave any sharp edges.  They make clipping your

    dies apart a breeze! Make sure to check them out in the shop today!

    Here’s a picture of all the supplies I used on my shaker card today.

    Thank you so much for joining me today! I really had fun making this card,

    shakers are my favorite type of card to make and I just adore

    those cute avocados from the new You Guac My World stamp set!
