    Bokeh Background And Zig Zag Border Dies

    Hi Everyone, its Tina here. I have a card to share with you using a Bokeh Background and the new Zig Zag Border dies. I used the Zig Zag Stitch Border dies to tone back my background. Below you will find the steps to create your own 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 – Trim White Cardstock to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. Using the Picket Fence Life Changing Brushes apply Distress Oxide Inks in various sizes of circles. I used Seedless Preserves, Antique Linen, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door.

    Step 3 – Diecut Never Ending Circles to create a stencil of various size circles. For a smaller circle use any punch or circle you have from another set. Randomly apply various sizes of circle using White Ink and a mini ink blending tool to the background created from Step 2. See photo below for finished Bokeh Background. Let Dry then adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 4 – Diecut Zig Zag Stitch Border two times using White Cardstock. Adhere to card one on top and one on the bottom using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. The white helps to tone down the background.

    Step 5 – Diecut sentiment and adhere to card using Collage Medium.

    Step 6 – For added interest adhere Fuschia Jewels using a Crystal Katana and collage medium.

    This card can be used for any occasion by changing the sentiment and colors. There are many new Zig Zag Stitch Dies in the store in various shapes.

  • Coffee Card with a Video

    Coffee Card with a Video

    Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans!  It’s Lisa here today and I wanted to share a coffee card that I made that has a fun technique to go with it! I used the Fabrika Decoru Enamel Drops to make that cute heart embellishment for the front of the coffee cup.  I have a video for you to watch that shows exactly how I made it.  Some of the artisan coffee shops have the ability to put cool designs into the foam that you see on top of their drinks.  This technique I will show you mimics that look and can be reproduced on your cards!  The Fabrika drops are available in so many colors so the sky is the limit to what you can create!
    For my card I used one of the new stamp sets that was just released in the shop called
    Let’s Get Caffeinated.  I stamped one of the cute sentiments onto a
    Stitched Scalloped Nesting Tag die with some Distress Ink in Ground Espresso.  I tied a twine bow with multiple layers so it would really have some dimension.  I placed the Layered Coffee Cup die with the Fabrika heart embellishment on the front of the card and the sentiment on some foam tape and the card was done.  The background of the card was cut with the largest die from the Stitched Scalloped Rectangles in some pretty polka dot paper.
    The assembly of the card was fairly easy so I won’t go into too much detail in this post.  The technique with the Fabrika enamel drops is easier explained in the video.

  • Eat Sleep Craft Repeat….

    Eat Sleep Craft Repeat….

    Hello everybody! Today I am excited to share another quick and easy card tutorial with you all using some amazing Kat Scrappiness products. This month Kat Scrappiness released some amazing new products and I really just can’t get enough of the new stamp set “Crafters Gonna Craft”. So let’s get started…

    To begin, I created my card base, which is an A6 sized card (4 1/2″ x 6 1/4″) using 110lb. white Recollections card stock. I then cut down a piece of black card stock to measure 4 3/8″ x 6 1/8″ and then cut down another piece of white card stock to measure 4 2/8″ x 6″. These will be my card mats.

    I then used the Condensed Uppercase Alphabet Dies by Kat Scrappiness to spell out the word “REPEAT” and die cut the letters out of Doodlebug Design Inc. classic double-sided card stock.

    Using the Crafters Gonna Craft 4″ x 6″ Clear Stamp Set by Kat Scrappiness, I stamped my sentiment, “Eat Sleep Craft” on to the white card mat using Memento Tuxedo Black Dye Ink. I then took the two “scribbled lines” stamps from the set and stamped them in various spots throughout the card mat using six different colored ink cubes from Hero Arts which I had in my stash from a kit that I had received from them.

    After I was satisfied with my stamp placement, I used Nuvo Delexe Adhesive to adhere the die cut letters to the bottom portion of my card mat.

    I then adhered the mats onto the card base, but I wasn’t done yet. It is a crafty card, and in my opinion, a crafty card is nowhere near complete without some type of added embellishment or bling. So of course I reached for some White Jewels by Kat Scrappiness and adhered them throughout the card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    And there you have it….. another completed crafty card using amazing and fun new products from Kat Scrappiness.

    I hope that you enjoyed this quick tutorial that I put together for you today and it has inspired you to create some of your own crafty cards as well.  A list of the supplies and products I used are listed below for your reference.
