February Release Day 2 – Mandala Die and Mandala Frame

Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans! Are you ready for Day 2 of the February reveals? For our projects today the design team is showcasing the Mandala Die with the Mandala Frame. These dies will either go perfectly well together, layered or used on its own. We also have a giveaway everyday during the release so scroll down at the end of the blog post to find out how you can WIN these dies.

Mandala Die

Mandala Frame

Here are some samples created by the design team:

CAREN BARTHOLOMEW

Caren inked up the background with some distress oxide inks and die cut another piece of some white card stock using the Mandala die. She adhered this piece on top of her inked background and stamped her sentiment using the same ink for a seamless look. Simple and elegant!

In this card, Caren used the Mandala die as a stencil and inked up the card stock with some distress oxide inks. She finished her design by adding the sentiment script “Hello Friend” from the shop.

LISA GOLZBEIN

Lisa had cut the Mandala Frame with a light blue card stock. She die-cut the Mandala die using some white card stock and adhered both on her card base. She colored a cute critter and used the Hello from the “Hello My Crafty Friend” sentiment script die. How adorable is this card?

For Lisa’s second project, she used both the Mandala Frame and Mandala dies again and added the coffee cup image from the Let’s Get Caffeinated stamp set. She also used some Brown Jewels to finish her design.

For Lisa’s third card, she created a square card using the Mandala die and adhered the “love” sentiment using the I Love You Shadow dies, just released last month.

MARIA RUSSELL

I used the Mandala die as a decorative background for my card. Even though it is not the focal point, the die-cut pieces really stood out on this card. I die-cut the Mandala die twice with some white card stock and adhered them onto a light beige card base. I stamped the flowers with different lawn fawn inks available at the shop and die cut using the coordinating dies. I heat-embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and die-cut the globe using the dies. The stamp set I used is called Globe Greetings from Concord & 9th. I finished my design by adding some Pink Sparkling Jewels from the shop. Here’s a closer look:

I die-cut the Mandala frame on some white card stock and adhered this piece on a blue card base. I stamped my celestial background on another piece of Neenah solar white card stock with some Lawn Fawn inks and die-cut this piece using the Cross Stitched Circle frame die. I adhered this piece in the middle of the Mandala frame and finished my design by adding my critters and Sparkling clear jewels from the shop. I didn’t think this card needed a sentiment in the front. Here’s a closer look:

MARTHA GOMEZ

Martha created this beautiful card using both the Mandala Die and the Mandala Frame. She inked up her background using distress oxide inks. She die-cut the Mandala Frame from some white card stock and adhered this piece on her inked background. Martha inked up another piece of card stock and die-cut this piece with the Mandala die. She adhered this piece on her card. She finished her design by stamping her sentiment on the Stitched Sentiment Strip die. What a beautiful card, Martha!

PRISCILLA JOSEPH

Priscilla had die-cut the Mandala die and used another die from Papertrey Ink to make it look like the moon. This card is so beautiful and unique! She also used the “Love You to the Moon and Back” sentiment strip die and finished her design with some sequin mixes from the shop. Here’s a closer look:

Priscilla created two birthday-themed card for her second and third project using the Mandala Frame die and Mandala die. She also used the Happy Birthday script sentiment die with some Superhero Star Sprinkles Embellishment to finish the card design. Priscilla, you outdid yourself this month with all of your projects! Wow!

TINA GUIGUI DORNBAUM

Tina created this beautiful and elegant card by coloring some Yupo paper with alcohol inks and die cut the same with the Mandala frame die. She adhered this piece on a white card base and die cut the Mandala frame die with white card stock. She finished the design by adding her sentiment using the stitched sentiment strip die.

Wishing You Peace, Love & Joy by Maria

Hello everyone! Maria here on the blog today. Have you joined our Blog Hop to benefit the Coffee Oasis Youth Program? Collection is currently open and all you have to do is make a winter-themed project and link it on the site, or leave comments on each participants blog and you will also have a chance to WIN! Simple as that!

For my card today, I am showcasing the new Stitched Snowflake Swirl Border Background die and other products available at the shop. I started out by die-cutting a piece of some Bristol smooth white card stock using the Stitched Snowflake Swirl Border Background die. I inked up this piece with Spun Sugar and Antique Linen distress oxide inks with my mini-ink blending tool.

Using the Holiday Style stamp set from Sunny Studio Stamps, I stamped the pine boughs first, then positioned the silver bell ornament and stamped it with different gray and black inks. I also stamped it with some Encore silver pigment ink. I die-cut a piece of red bow using a die-set from Lawn Fawn and adhered it onto the top of the ornament. I also stamped the sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black ink and Lawn Fawn Lobster ink. I added the Sparkling Clear jewels using my Crystal Katana jewel picker.

Here’s my card:

I absolutely LOVE the stitching details made by the die. It is so beautiful in person. I also LOVE the jewels that are available at the shop but the sparkling clear ones are my favorite. Here’s a little close-up:

In my opinion, Kat Scrappiness makes the most beautiful and affordable dies. I can’t even pick a favorite because I love them all! Please tell us which one is your favorite die from the shop.

It’s Beginning to Look a Sloth Like Christmas

Hello my crafty friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

It’s Maria here with you today I am back with this cute Christmas card, showcasing the Foliage Frame Die, the Slothy Christmas stamp set and matching die by Newton’s Nook and other products available at the shop.

I started by stamping my images on Neenah solar white card stock and colored the images in with my Copic markers. I die-cut the images using the coordinating dies. I also die-cut another piece of Neenah solar white card stock using the Foliage Frame die set. This die is so beautiful!

I cut an A2-size piece of Bristol smooth white card stock and inked up this background with some Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar distress oxide inks, using my mini-ink blending tool. I put a few drops of my Vintage Photo distress re-inker onto an acrylic block and added a few drops of water then used my watercolor brush to splatter some color onto my colored background. I adhered this piece onto my card base.

I added some foam adhesive on the frame to give it a little bit of a dimension. To finish my design, I adhered my colored images onto the card and covered the Santa hat with some stardust stickles. Here’s a little close-up:

Don’t you just LOVE this new Foliage Frame die? Also the sloth is so cute with that little mouse! I really love how this card turned out.

Wine Cards with the September Release by Maria

Hello Kat Scrappiness fans! Maria here with you today with some simple cards featuring the new Peacock Backdrop die, the Wine Not stamp set and the Wine Not Custom craft dies.

For my first card, I started out by die-cutting the Peacock Backdrop die some Bristol smooth white card stock. I inked up this piece with some squeezed lemonade, spiced marmalade and picked raspberry distress oxide inks with my mini ink blending tool. I set this piece aside to dry while I worked on die-cutting the Wine Not Custom craft dies. I used Neenah smooth white card stock to color the bottle with my Copic markers and used a silver card stock for the wine glass. I added glossy accents to make it look more realistic. I also die-cut a frame by using the double stitched rectangle die and the stitched rectangle die. Here’s the first card:

I adorned my card with some images from a stamp set by Newton’s Nook and also added the beautiful Champagne jewels. I love the new jewels collection from the shop. They are available in a variety of colors. Here’s another look:

For my second card, I die-cut the pieces again with some Neenah solar white card stock and colored the die-cut pieces with my Copic markers. I inked up an A2 size piece of some Bristol smooth white card stock with a stencil from my stash. I stamped the sentiment from the Wine Not stamp set. Here’s my second card:

To finish the design, I also added the cheers sentiment from my stash and the tiny bow is from a die-set by Lawn Fawn. Here’s another look:

For my third card, I wanted to create something simple just using the Wine Not stamp set. I die-cut a piece of some Neenah solar white card stock with the Stitched Fancy Scalloped rectangle die. I colored the images in with my Copic markers. To finish my design, I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink.

I hope you like my cards today. Which one is your favorite? The supplies I used are listed and linked below. Don’t forget to use my coupon code “MARIA10” for 10% off your order at the shop. Have a nice day!

Missing You Card by Maria

It feels like it’s been ages ago since I last posted on this blog (or maybe it’s the jet lag talking) but Maria here with you today to share this very simple shaker card, showcasing the Stitched Diagonal Backdrop die with the Missing You Brush Script Word & Sentiment die, the Fab Flowers 4×6 Stamp Set by Lawn Fawn and the Fab Flowers Dies with some Pretty Pink Jewels and Hearts of White Sequin mix.

I stamped my images with some Lawn Fawn inks using my Tim Holtz stamping platform. I die-cut the images with its coordinating dies.

I die-cut another piece of some Neenah 110 lb. card stock using the new Stitched Diagonal Backdrop die. This die cuts like butter and is perfect for shaker cards!

I adhered my acetate onto the die-cut and added foam adhesive to create the well for my shaker card. I poured the Hearts of White Sequin Mix on my card base and positioned it to make it easier for me to adhere my shaker well on top of the card base.

I also die-cut the “Missing You” Brush Script Word and Sentiment die twice on some black and white card stock. Since the card has mostly white on it, I wanted to create a shadow behind the Missing You script die so that it stands out, without overwhelming the design of the card. I adhered this piece on top of the acetate. Here’s what the card looks like:

I just love this card design. I think all the elements I used for this card just complimented each other. Here’s a little close-up:

The new Hearts of White Sequin Mix is so beautiful, I cannot wait to order more from the shop. Also, don’t you just love the stitching details on the die-cut? I am in-love with this design.

I hope you like my shaker card today. The supplies I used are listed and linked below. Please don’t forget to use my coupon code “MARIA10” for 10% off your order at the shop.

I Craft Therefore I Hoard

Hello my crafty friends! I hope you are all having a great week so far. Maria here with you today and I am back to share with you two card samples showcasing the new Crafter’s Gonna Craft stamp set, with the new Stitched Scalloped Collage Frame Die.

I have been super busy traveling for the last few weeks that I don’t have a step-by-step instruction for you. If you are a card maker or a scrapbooker, you would have figured out how I made the cards already but I apologize if you are a beginner. Please know that once I am back on a regular schedule, I will have a step-by-step tutorial or even a YouTube video. I promise! Here’s my first simple, one-layer card:

This new stamp set is a must-have for any paper crafter! Here’s another look:

My second card just cracks me up! If you are a crafter, I am sure you can relate with the sentiment.

Isn’t it true though? I am such a hoarder. I collect anything and everything that I can use for a future project, it drives my husband nuts! I didn’t realize how much hoarding I’ve been doing until it was time to pack up most of my craft supplies to move it all back to my home in Florida, USA.

I also LOVE the new sparkling jewels at the shop. They come in different colors but my favorite is the clear, sparkling one that I used on my project. I prefer adhering it flat-side up and I think it gives more shine.

I hope you like my projects today. Please don’t forget to check out the August release by Kat Scrappiness. The new dies are must-haves for sure! Don’t forget to use my coupon code “MARIA10” for 10% off your order. Also, don’t forget to check out the Lawn Fawn items that are currently on sale at the shop for 20% off by using code “LAWNFAWN”. It is only valid until August 12th. Have an amazing day and happy crafting!

Father’s Day Card with Dad’s Tools

Hello my crafty friends, Maria here with you today on the blog! I hope you are all having a great week so far. Father’s Day is fast approaching and it is time to honor all the AMAZING dads out there. The new Dad’s tools – 6×8 Layered stamp setis perfect for this type of occasion, or you can even make just-because cards. It doesn’t always just have to be for one day out of the year. I know if my Dad were here, I probably would make him a card at least once a month.

I started out by stamping my images on Neenah solar white card stock, using my Tim Holtz Tonic Stamp Platform. I think it is a must-have tool for stamping layered images. Since this stamp set did not have matching dies, I used my Brother Scan N Cut2 to die-cut the images.

I used the biggest of my Cross Stitched Rectangle dieto die-cut the blue patterned paper taken from the Gotta Have Gingham Petite Paper Pack 6×6 by Lawn Fawn. I then used the third piece of the Cross Stitched Rectangle dieto die-cut a piece of silver card stock. I placed this card stock onto my We R Memory Keepers embossing folder and run it through my die-cutting machine to emboss this piece.

I adhered my blue patterned paper onto my card base and then layered the embossed silver cardstock on top for my foreground. On another piece of white card stock, I die-cut the word Dad with the Uppercase Condensed Alphabet Dies. To give it some dimension, I used my foam adhesive to adhere the word Dad onto my card.

I stamped the sentiment on a black card stock with my Versa-mark ink and used my white embossing powder then set it using my heating tool. I also adhered the hammer and screwdriver images from the stamp set. I finished the design by adhering my blue enamel dots on the four corners of my silver card stock embossed piece. Here’s the card.

I honestly struggle with masculine cards so designing this was a bit of a challenge for me. However, I love how this turned out. Here’s a close-up look:

I hope you got inspired today. Don’t forget to use my coupon code “MARIA10” for 10% off your order at the shop. The supplies I used are listed and linked below. Have a wonderful day!
