    Punny Snacks Shaker Card

    Hi Friends! kel here today to share a yummy shaker card using the new Punny Snacks stamp set!!

    This set is so cute and fun and YUMMY! I absolutely love that it comes with an assortment of faces that you can decorate your food with… something I am definitely going to have to play with next.

    I colored up the images with my Copics and then used my Scan n Cut to die-cut all these little images. I arranged them as a frame for my shaker box, and then added some clear acetate on top of it to create my window. Then I dumped in some Sparkling Manhattan Sequin Mix into the window before closing it up with some scrap paper for a backing and some 3d squares to pop it all up so my shaker had enough shaking room! I really couldn’t figure out what bright colors would look nice with this food frame, and then settled on browns because just about every-other piece of food on here had brown in it!

    I also stamped all over the background paper with the Walnut brown ink cube from the Lawn Fawn Candy Store Ink Cube Pack and then added some red hearts in the gaps using the Lobster red ink cube from the same Candy Store Ink Cube Pack. I then added the sentiment and heart with my Versamark Ink Pad before heat embossing it so that it stood out nicely. I used white embossing powder for the sentiment and red embossing powder for the heart. 

    Again, SO FUN. Love this set and looking forward to adding some faces to my food lol!! Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

  • I Lava You, Valentine!

    I Lava You, Valentine!

    Hannah here! How are you this lovely February day? Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and I am SO excited! I don’t know why I love this “holiday” so much, we hardly celebrate it at our house, I think it has to do with my love of hearts. 😉

    I recently came back from Creativation where I had the opportunity to play with alcohol inks for the first time ever. We were using them for a much different purpose than they are generally used for, however, it did inspire me to purchase a bunch and start playing with them. This really was the basis for my card, I wanted to play with alcohol inks. 😉

    So, play I did! I gathered 3 inks in “lava” colors, and some Yupo paper, and went to town having fun!

    While that was drying I stamped out my image from Avery Elle, the Lava You set, using Memento Tuxedo Black. Then using the filler stamps from the set I stamped those in with other Distress Inks. I then die cut this image out using the coordinating Lava You die set and colored the ocean water with Copic Markers.

    Because I was making a shaker card, when don’t I made a shaker card, I needed a frame, so I created a lovely blend of Distress Inks on a piece of paper using Clarity Stencil Brushes. Next, I die cut my frame out using two of the Distress Edge Rectangle Dies by Kat Scrappiness.

    I built my shaker window to this frame with the help of some fun foam, some acetate, and score tape. I adhered my volcano onto the front and added a bit more fun foam behind the volcano for stability, and used score tape to adhere this to my Yupo paper while sneaking in a TON of sequins in there. Like A TON!

    I didn’t care for the Yupo Paper that extended past my frame, so I trimmed it down and adhered that to some red paper which I had run some Delicata Golden Glitz along the edge of.

    Finally, I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set on the inside of my card using some Distress Oxide.

    I hope I have inspired you, and I hope you’ll find the products you need to create at Kat Scrappiness! If you need a discount code to save a little money, please feel free to use Hannah10 at checkout!

  • Tic-Tac-Toe Valentine’s

    Tic-Tac-Toe Valentine’s

    We’ve got less than a month until Valentine’s Day and we are ready for the LOVE! Yup, this is Hannah, bringing you another card for Kat Scrappiness! I was snuggling my kiddo in bed one night, thinking about this card, and the next day I got to make it come true! How fun is that?!?!?! That is what I love about Kat Scrappiness, she’s got such a great and wide variety of products that I can make so many of my dream cards come true!

    I started with what has now become my FAVORITE rectangular die ever! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Distressed Edge Rectangle Dies! I am using them all the time now! So I used the largest die out of the set and cut out a rectangle using Neenah Solar White Cardstock in an 80lb weight. I also cut out a second rectangle in order to do my measurements and notes and a third out of fun foam.

    I started by finding the center of both the verticle and horizontal points. The smallest of the Double Stitched Hearts by Kat Scrappiness is roughly an inch square, so using a clear ruler I measured half an inch off of either side of the center lines. Because I needed space in between my hearts I measured a quarter of an inch on either side of those half inch lines. I know it sounds like a confusing mess, but take a look at my photo. Really, the important part was figuring out the center inch and making sure I could align the other 8 hearts around it.

    I die cut three hearts out of that panel using that Double Stitched Hearts die. Because this is a shaker card! I also cut 6 more hearts out of a pack of Doodlebug paper. On the backside of my Neenah panel taped on acetate using Scor-Tape.

    I went back to the fun foam panel, and die cut those same small hearts out using the scratch piece as a template, see the first photo. You can see how I cut out one heart but hadn’t cut the other two yet. Because fun foam can squish when it goes through a die cutting machine it squishes out and cuts a touch larger than you want, just a touch. For this reason, I almost always trim down the edges of my foam panels. I cut all four outside edges as well as the hearts.

    Are you reading this right? Each heart shakes separately! Using more Scor-Tape, I adhered this fun foam panel to my Neenah panel, and using MORE Scor-Tape I adhered that to my card base which is made of Neenah Solar White Cardstock in 110lb weight. While I was taping it on I carefully snuck my sequins underneath the acetate hearts as I was removing the Scor-Tape cover. The Hearts O’Plenty sequin pack is the PERFECT sequin mix for this card!

    Now that my card was almost completely built, I was able to add those hearts from the patterned cardstock. I popped them up from the panel using 3D Self-Adhesive Squares!

  • Chocolate Shaker Card by Maria

    Chocolate Shaker Card by Maria

    Are you looking for a simple Valentine’s Day card without all the hearts and romantic stuff? Or just a simple “just-because” card to brighten someone’s day?  For my project today, I am showcasing the Layered Chocolate Bar 6″ x 8″ stamp set, the Chocolate Lover’s Sentiment stamp set, Sparkling Manhattan sequin mix, Distressed Edge Rectangle dies and the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle dies.

    I started out by stamping the layered chocolate bar stamp using my Tim Holtz Tonic stamp platform with my memento tuxedo black ink.  I used my precision-cut scissors to fuzzy-cut the images.

    IMG_6823

    I also cut the little chocolate squares to add to my project.

    IMG_6824

    It has been awhile since I made a shaker card so I thought I’d make them today.  I die-cut my 110 lb. white card stock with the wonky wavy stitched dies.  I die-cut the middle using the second of the largest piece of the distressed edge rectangle dies to create the window.

    I cut a piece of acetate to cover the window and adhered the chocolate bar at the bottom left side corner.  I added some 3M foam tape.  I decided to use my Cinnamon Swirl Mix sequins for my shaker element and the chocolate squares but since the sequin mix I used is not available anymore at the store, you can also use the Sparkling Manhattan sequin mix.  to finish the design, I stamped my sentiment using my Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink to give it a little bit of color.

    Here’s the close-up of the card:

    IMG_6821

    I love this stamp set because the chocolate image looks so realistic!  There are so many possibilities using this stamp set.

    I hope you all got inspired to create this simple “Just-Because” card, or a “non-romantic” Valentine’s Day card that you can give to a friend to brighten up their day!  I have listed and linked the supplies I used below.  Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful day!

  • Chocolate Valentines

    Chocolate Valentines

    Valentines Day is coming! Fortunately, you are in luck because Kat Scrappiness is your Valentine’s headquarters! Kat has so many amazing products in store and there is still quite a lot of time to get your order in! I have a card which was really quick to create but packs a lot of love!

    I started with the new Distressed Edge Rectangle Dies I used the largest rectangle die cut a panel with Neenah Solar White in 80lb. Then using the Mini Hearts Stencil from CC Designs and some Distress Oxides I covered that panel with pink hearts! FUN!

    I heat set my hearts and dusted them thoroughly with an embossing buddy, then using Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder I heat embossed a sentiment from Kat’s Chocolate Lover’s Sentiment Stamp Set.

    Going back to the same rectangle dies, I chose two smaller ones and taped them together to cut out a pink rectangle out of some pink cardstock I had. While the dies were still taped together I cut out several white rectangles out of less expensive cardstock which would be used to allow the sequins to move around in the card. I think in the end I used about 4 or 5 white sections for enough bulk.

    I cut a rectangle out of acetate and adhered that to the back of the pink frame using Scor-Tape. Then I started adding my white rectangle layers.

    I took an A2 sized sheet of that same pink cardstock and adhered that to my card base (Neenah Solar White 110lb) using my favorite tape runner, then using the same taper runner I adhered my heart/rectangle panel. Using more Scor-Tape I started to adhere the pink rectangle frame in the center, however, I only adhered one side. I very carefully snuck some sequins from the Hearts O’Plenty sequin pack, then I sealed up the other three sides.

    And voila! It was done! It didn’t take a huge amount of time, but it did come with a lot of love! Any person would LOVE to receive this card from you! If you need any of these products, use HANNAH10 at check out for 10% off.

  • Shaker Card featuring Ocean Wave Borders and Lawn Fawn Winter Otter

    Lawn Fawn Winter Otter Card by Jess Crafts featuring Kat Scrappiness Dies

    Hello crafty friends! I’m so excited to be sharing a winter project for Kat Scrappiness. For today’s cards I will be using three Kat Scrappiness dies and some of the beautiful sequins.

    Lawn Fawn Winter Otter Card by Jess Crafts featuring Kat Scrappiness Dies

    The inspiration for this card was trying to incorporate the ocean wave dies into a card that had a winter theme instead of the more obvious summer theme. I have a full video tutorial for you today that you can watch below or on YouTube.

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MomYkh8onug]

    I started by creating a watercolor background with Color Burst and shimmer spray. I then die cut a simple oval from Never Ending Ovals for the main shaker and some layers of waves from the Wave Borders so my Lawn Fawn Winter Otter would have somewhere to rest. When adding the sequins I went with the Sparkling Manhattan to pick up to gold from the shimmer spray and the Blue Steel to mimic the ocean colors. I also create a custom sentiment panel by combing the Fancy Scalloped Borders in an oval like shape.

    Lawn Fawn Winter Otter Card by Jess Crafts featuring Kat Scrappiness Dies

    For the second card I simply layered up some of the ocean scraps and tucked my otter in the waves. I used Blue Steel Sequins to finish it off. I’m happy to have some cards I can use all winter long to brighten someone’s day and that I was able to use a ‘summer’ supply on a winter project.

  • It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

    It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

    Indeed, the snow has finally decided to arrive in Northeast Ohio, my kiddo can’t wait to play in the snow, and as I type this I can see the lights of our Christmas tree in my peripheral vision. Delightful, this time of year can be stressful, but so so delightful!

    The card I am sharing today came from a session where I was just playing around with my Kat Scrappiness products and challenging myself to use her oval dies. Ovals are hard for me, so I wanted to see if I could make something work with them. I had very adventurous ideas about creating a scene with her Stitched & Layered Snowman Die and then opted to skip that for more detail on her lovely Stitched & Layered Christmas Tree Die!

    Because I am feeling stressed for time, I was looking for something simple and easy that I could create that gave me the fulfilled feeling I was looking for and providing me with a project I could feel proud of at the same time. An impossible trio, I know, however with Distress Oxides and Kat’s stitched dies I think I might have achieved it. To start, I cut out the tree die and just messed around with a variety of Distress Oxide greens until I got something that pleased me.

    I did something similar with the background, playing with Distress Oxides in blues, however, I also splashed water on it in order to activate the oxide aspect of the ink. After this was heat set I sprayed it down with Imagine Crafts Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spray because I love things to sparkle! Isn’t it BEAUTIFUL?!?!?! Even though it, and the water from playing with the Distress Oxides, warped my paper, it didn’t matter in the end!

    Next, I took a sheet of Neenah Desert Storm Craft Cardstock, trimmed it down to an A2 size, then I cut a whole in the center with that oval die I challenged myself to use! I used one of the Never Ending Oval Dies, and then distressed the outside of the panel and the inside hole with more Distress Oxide. After I placed a sheet of acetate down on the back side, I started to glue down my tree with some Ranger Multi Medium Matte. I had cut the ornaments for the tree out of white cardstock, including the star, and just colored them with some Copic Markers, then I glued them as well.

    Then I started to build my shaker card. I used the Clear AB Star Confetti and the snowflakes that can be found in the Frosty II Sequin Mix. I Iove mixing and matching sequin mixes. If you would like to see the steps of building a shaker card, using fun foam, I would like to direct your attention here.

    I brought the oval theme to the inside of the card by using the Cross Stitched Oval Dies and layering them. I also used a sentiment found in the Hero Arts Poster Christmas Carols sentiment set.

    I finished off this card by adding some Sparkling Clear Droplets, I have SO MANY of these. I LOVE them so much that every time I place an order I add a bag to my cart! I loved making this card. I loved challenging myself to work with something that I generally struggle with. This was a lot of fun to make!

  • Christmas Tree Shaker Card

    Christmas Tree Shaker Card

     

    Hi there!  I know they say Turkey before Christmas Tree, but I just couldn’t resist using this super cute Kat Scrappiness Stitched & Layered Christmas Tree Die.

    I started with a white A2 card base and an additional A2 size white piece of cardstock.  I die cut the Christmas Tree Die out of the extra piece of white cardstock, keeping the pieces that were cut out.  Working with the cut out pieces, I inked them up using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Mowed Lawn on the edges and Twisted Citron on the rest.

    I then fit the inked pieces onto the card base using the piece which has the cutouts.  Remove the cutout tree and glue the inked tree pieces down.

    With the same two Tim Holtz Distress inks, distress the edges of the cut out tree piece.  Add a piece of acetate to the back of the cutout to cover the tree and glue in place using your favorite glue.  Add some Kat Scrappiness Peppermint Twists Sequins over the tree.  Add foam tape over the cover piece, and place on top to make the shaker.

    To finish the card off, I then took stamp from my stash and stamped and colored several images using Zig Clean Brush markers.

    I hope you have enjoyed my post today and I will see you next time! ~ DT Carly

     

  • Birthday Shaker Card

    Birthday Shaker Card

    Hi Everyone!  It’s Heidi and I have a happy shaker card for you today using the Kat Scrappiness Cross Stitched Circle dies along with some of Kat’s sparkly sequins.

    I was in the mood to make a birthday card for this project and was inspired by all the fun colors in Kat’s Rock Candy sequin mix.

    I chose some colored cardstock from Gina K.’s Island Dream and Doodlebug’s Swiss Dot Petite Paper Pad to go with the theme.

    I made two frames using the 2nd and 3rd smallest Cross Stitched circles and the 1st and 2nd smallest circles

    I used the 3rd smallest circle to cut out a solid circle from the Doodlebug purple polka dots.  This is my back to my shaker.  I adhered it to the front of a white card base off to the side on the bottom left and put a little mound of sequins on top.  I’ll eventually overlap the smaller green shaker circle on top.

    I cut out another smaller circle using some of the bright green polka dot paper from the Doodlebug pad and put some sequins on top of that.

    I adhered the frames I created to some acetate and cut around the circles to create my shaker windows.

    Using my large Tonic non-stick scissors, I cut strips of foam tape for the windows

    I peeled the backing off then just wrapped it around the back of my circle windows.  I placed the windows on top of the sequin filled circles to create the shakers.

    I made another circle from the smallest Cross Stitched circle to add to the front.  I wanted to put part of a sentiment on it so I cut the second smallest circle from the Never Ending Circles die set in white.  I adhered it over the top of the larger circle with foam tape after stamping it with the “Yay!” from Hero Arts’ Birthday Messages stamp set.  It fit perfectly so you could still see the cross stitching from the main circle.  That set really comes in handy.  There are so many sizes of circles!

    I added another sentiment from the same stamp set to the bottom right corner of the card and assembled my circles overlapping on the front.
