Bamboo Background Die by Martha Lucia

Hello crafty friends! Martha Lucia here with you!

Today I’m excited to share with you a new card that I made for Kat Scrappiness. I am featuring their gorgeous Bamboo Backdrop die, the fabulous Stewart The Sloth stamp set, Owl Envelope Art, A2 Acetate Sheets and the Mystical Leaves Sprinkles.

The base of my card is cardstock and all the other layers are Rinea Foiled paper. To make this I used as second layer a piece of Jade/Gold Glossy Rinea Foiled Paper and I inked randomly this layer with different tones of StazOn Ink. I used StazOn Emerald City and Cactus Green. I pasted this layer directly over the card base.

I die cut the Bamboo Backdrop Die twice. The first using Early Espresso cardstock and the second using Mocha/Gold Glossy Rinea Foiled Paper. The die cuts from Kat Scrappiness cut like butter different materials! I resized one piece of A2 Acetate Sheets to the size of the Bamboo Backdrop Die and pasted it to the back to create the shaker style. For the shaker effect, I used Mystical Leaves Sprinkles.

In a separate piece of whisper white cardstock, I stamped twice of the images included on the Stewart The Sloth stamp set and colored the sloth image with Sprectrum Noir Alcohol Markers Colouring System. To cut the sentiments, I used a cross stitched rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs.

My next card is a fun card that I made using the Owl Envelope Art. You can find all the details about this card HERE!

I used this card to promote the die a few days ago, details HERE.

Envelope Art Made Simple
Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here today. I have a super fun Envelope Art to share with you. Kat Scrappiness has made it so simple to decorate our envelopes with the Owl Envelope Art and Giraffe Envelope Art Stamps Set. Below you will find the easy steps to replicate this Envelope Art.
- Step 1 – Use a heavy weight envelope or create one yourself using the We R Memory Keepers 1-2-3 Punch Board.
- Step 2 – Stamp Owl Envelope Art on the front of envelope using Versafine Ink.
- Step 3 – Mask the image either with Masking Liquid (you will need to let this dry before proceeding to the next step) or stamp image on large Post-It, trim it and place over the image on the envelope. I used Masking Liquid.
- Step 4 – Carefully create your Distress Oxide background. To create background apply the colors on a kraft mat, spray with water, dip the top part of envelope into the oxidized inks, dry using a heat tool. Repeat the process until you reach your desired effect.
- Step 5 – Carefully remove the masking.
- Step 6 – Color the image using any color medium of your choice. I used Winsor & Newton Promarkers for easy blending.
- Step 7 – Stamp sentiment using Versafine Ink.

Fun With Envelope Art

One of the great things about this month’s stamps in the Kat Scrappiness release is that they are so versatile. You can use them as they were intended or branch out and create all kinds of variations. The Envelope Art stamp sets are no exception. For this first project, I used the Giraffe Envelope Art stamp set along with some fun patterned paper to make a safari-themed card.

After stamping the image onto a white card panel, I colored it with Copics, then added some background color using Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. I used a stencil brush to add the color instead of an ink blending tool. This gives a great, subtle, smooth background and allows you to easily put color where you want without hurting your main image.

I decided the sentiment needed a little more interest, so I took a piece of white woodgrain cardstock and colored it with a Copic marker. I popped it up with foam tape over the original sentiment that I stamped on the sign, then re-stamped the sentiment onto a small strip I colored with the same Copic. I popped this up with foam tape over the woodgrain piece.

To finish the card, I added a few wood veneer hearts I colored with a red Copic marker.

I made a little envelope and card set for my next project using the Owl Envelope Art stamp set and the Got Coffee word die.

For the frame of the card, I gathered a bunch of the little faces from the Punny Snacks stamp set and placed them on an acrylic block.

I then, stamped them all over the front of a white card panel and cut a frame out using my Neverending Rectangles die set.

Before adding the frame with foam tape, I cut out a question mark from the Large Alphabet die set using some Gina K. cardstock in Wild Lilac. I heat embossed the coffee cup from Echo Park’s But First Coffee stamp set and added the Got Coffee die along the bottom. I backed the white die cut with black to give it a shadow effect.

I added a cute little stamped detail to the envelope flap using some of the flowers and words from the stamp set.

Some simple coloring using Copics to match my card finished the envelope.

Lots of options–I hope you were inspired today :). You can head over to the Kat Scrappiness shop to find the products I used (also listed below).

Be sure to join in this month for the April card challenge where we would like you to show us your envelope art. The winner will receive a $25 gift card to the shop. The challenge is open through April 30. Thanks for joining me today!

Create a Faux Coffee Look!

Hi there! Hannah, here, with another Kat Scrappiness project!

Kat seems to have a huge love of coffee. She and her design team participate in several “coffee” themed blog hops throughout the year it seems, and she has a whole section in her shop dedicated to Coffee Themed Products.

Recently she came up with two brand new products in her line that were both coffee related. Her “Got Coffee” die and her new Layered Coffee Cup die are two of the newest Kat Scrappiness brand products in her shop. Today’s card is using both of those, as well as a stamp from another new KS product: Owl Envelope Art stamp set.

First, I die cut the coffee cup bits out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. For the center portion of the cup, where a logo might go, I lightly dusted it all over with Altenew’s Rose Quartz and the edges with Altenew’s Puffy Heart. In the center of this, I stamped the small owl from the Owl Envelope Art stamp set. I also covered some of the small portions of the lid with the same Altenew inks.

Next, using some light grey Copic markers I created a curved or shadowed effect. Basic Copic coloring rules applied here, sticking with either a W, C, or N and then using alternating colors. I relied heavily on the “0” to ensure a smooth transition to white.

Using a liquid adhesive, Ranger Multi Medium Matte, I layered most of my coffee cut bits and adhered them together. If you are confused as to how to go about building the cup, there is a fabulous guide Kat has put together:

Then came the fun part! Playing with Yupo paper and Copic markers! You can see my video here:

Taking some Neenah Desert Storm paper I cut out the largest rectangle from the Cross Stitched Rectangle dies. Along the edges gently dusted the beautiful Delicata Golden Glitz. Using the same Delicata ink I performed the same technique on a light pink doily I had.

Using pink fun foam I cut out the “got coffee” sentiment. As it turned out the pink in the foam was pretty much the same pink in the doily and a complimentary one to the other pinks in the cup, therefore I left the foam naked and didn’t cover it with adhesive and paper.

I trimmed my Yupo paper down to an A2 length and die cut out the inner portion of my cup. This die cut portion was a total mistake on my part, I didn’t have the plans above when I was crafting the card. However, I like how it tied the cup in with the background, created movement in my card, and looked like coffee!

I layered everything on top of a light pink A2 card front using my favorite dot runner and Ranger Multi Medium Matte, then finished off the look by sparkling gold dots everywhere.

I rather like the final look of this card! If you like it and are in need of any of the following products please feel free to use my discount code HANNAH10 at checkout!

Bring on the Coffee……

Hi Everyone!

I’m back with a cute gift card project using Kat’s new Layered Coffee Cup die set. This is a very realistic looking take out coffee cup when it’s all put together. I love all the options you have for assembling it. For this card, I chose to use some Doodlebug paper to decorate the the cup and images from the Owl Envelope Art stamp set to decorate the sleeve and the little gift card holder inside. I had to turn it into a shaker since the flowers matched Kat’s Mixed Floral sequins. I have lots to show you!

To start, I die cut all the coffee cup pieces in white except for the little cup outline and the opening of the cup. I did the outline in black to give some shadow to the cup and I did the opening in kraft paper to make it look like coffee. I covered the cup with some Doodlebug Swiss Dot paper and gathered some bright Lawn Fawn inks to stamp the flowers from the Owl Envelope Art stamp set onto the coffee sleeve.

My 2-way glue pen was helpful in attaching the white outline of the top of the cup to the “coffee”.

For the inside of the shaker, I wanted to use just the “Coffee” word from the Echo Park But First Coffee stamp set, so I cut apart the “Coffee” from the rest of the sentiment. It’s easy to do if you’re careful and have sharp scissors. You can put the words back together again then, and use the stamp as you normally would.

After stamping the “coffee” on the front of the card in light gray ink, I created the shaker frame using the Neverending Rectangle dies and attached the coffee cup to the front of it. I poured some of the mixed floral sequins down on the card and adhered the frame over the top with foam tape.

I stamped “coffee”on the inside of the card as well and added another sentiment from the But First Coffee stamp set. I stamped it on a Double-Stitched Heart die.

For the inside of the card, I created a pocket for a gift card. I first folded a piece of white card stock over the gift card to get the size correct. I left about a half inch on either side and scored it close to the edge of the gift card.

I then, snipped across the fold with my scissors to the score line.

After stamping some flowers from the Envelope Art Owl stamp set as I did on the coffee sleeve, I folded in the snipped edges of the gift card pocket and secured them with Scor Tape. I then trimmed off the excess with my paper trimmer.

Here is the finished card inside.

I added another thin frame to go inside the shaker frame made from gray card stock. I thought this made the card look a little more “finished” on the outside.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope this card has given you some great ideas for using the Layered Coffee Cup die set.

Owl Card Gift Set
Hi Friends! kel here today to share a fun gift set using the new Owl Envelope Art stamp set!!

My niece absolutely loves owls (and birds in general!) and loves crafting with me so when I saw this set I knew I wanted to make her a set of cards that she could finish/color and give to her friends! I started by stamping this owl + sign on some white A2 envelopes. It’s tricky for me to stamp with large images, but this one was easy to use! I just had to clean out the middle of the sign on the stamp itself before I put it to paper because I tend to smoosh my ink pad in there and get ink everywhere lol!

Then I stamped the little individual owl from the new Owl Envelope Art stamp set 3x onto a card front. I also used the bold Happy Mail sentiment. I figured that was sentiment enough on the outside; she could put whatever sentiment and message she wanted on the inside and it would definitely still be relevant!

Because I gifted her with some crayons to color these cuties up, I didn’t worry about what ink pad I used. So I just grabbed the closest one to me lol!! It ended up being the Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad. I had to use my Tim Holtz Tonic Stamp Platform to stamp that image out because I wanted to make sure it was a nice dark-lined image for her to color but it worked out so nicely! Stamping multiple times in the exact same spot was a piece of cake with that platform!

I’m sure she’ll love it… and I’m also pretty sure I’ll be stamping out more for her very soon! Thanks for stopping by friends!
