Quokka’n Up with Kat Scrappiness

I’d like to introduce you to the Quokka!

The world’s happiest animal!

Isn’t that the cutest face you’ve ever seen?

Hi, it’s Lisa here from Oh So Cute By Lisa and you might ask

why I’m introducing you to the Quokka? Well, Kat Scrappiness has come out with a new stamp set called Quokka’n Up featuring this adorable marsupial! Marsupial you ask? Yes a marsupial…… here is a brief history lesson on this adorable chipmunk looking creature.

The Quokka is found on some smaller islands off of the coast of Western Australia and is

the only land mammal on Rattnest Island. They are marsupials which means that they have a pouch that their baby Joey stays in. Just like the Kangaroo! They are herbivores and they eat grass and leaves. They live for an average of 10 years.

I’d like to thank my son Matthew for researching this adorable little guy for me. I had never heard of a Quokka up until now but Matthew knew all about them. He’s a huge animal buff and he was more than happy to provide me with some interesting facts that I’d thought I’d pass along to you.

Here is the adorable new stamp set from Kat Scrappiness appropriately called Quokka’n Up!

Here are a few cards I made using this cute new stamp set with this selfie loving cutie!

This card also uses the Stitched Postage Edge Rectangle dies and the Condensed Lowercase Alpha dies.

My second card is a slimline card with a bright happy scene and a Quokka couple!

Aren’t they just adorable together! This card is also showcasing the brand new slimline dies available now at Kat Scrappiness called the Fancy Scalloped Nesting dies. I also added some fun bling on this card with the Clear Sparkling Jewels.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you learned a little bit about this cute little animal from Australia!

Slimline Dies Two Ways

Hello there, it’s Lisa from Oh So Cute By Lisa and today I have 2 cards for you using some of the newest Slimline Dies from Kat Scrappiness. I used the same Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies on both cards yet they have 2 very different looks to them!

—————————————————————

Let’s start with the card that uses the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies in the traditional way that you are used to seeing it.

For this card I cut a piece of Bristol Smooth card stock using the largest die from the

Embossed Edge Nesting Slimline Dies and did some rainbow ink blending with a polka dot stencil.

The black scalloped inner frame was made using the second and third largest dies from the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies. I nested them inside each other and sent them through my die cut machine together together at the same time and the result was that cool scalloped black frame that I adhered to the inside of the polka dot panel.

For the sentiment I used the Condensed Uppercase Alpha Dies and the Condensed Number Dies to cut out HB2U in glitter paper which is short for “Happy Birthday to You”. I popped the letters and number up on foam tape for some dimension. To finish off the card I added some fun and colorful

Party Confetti Sprinkles to mimic the fun polka dots in the background.

I took the entire panel and matted it on to black card stock and then adhered all of that to a side opening slimline card base measuring 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″.

The brand new Triangle Embellishment Trays and

Embellishment Pick Up Tool are super helpful when picking up and adhering embellishments to my cards.

—————————————————————

For my second card today I also used the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies but in a less traditional way.

I began by using the largest die and cutting out a piece of Bristol Smooth card stock so I could do some ink blending. After I cut out the paper, instead of using it as a traditional slimline panel, I folded it in half to make a notecard.

These dies are the perfect size when folded to make the cutest little notecards!

Once it was folded I did some ink blending using Distress Oxide inks and then some stenciling in the same colors.

I just love the way this panel came out. These 3 colors blended together so well!

For the main focal point on my card I stamped and Copic colored the adorable little giraffe from the

Lola the Giraffe Stamp Set. She cut out perfectly on my Scan n Cut but she could be easily hand cut as well. Before I adhered that cute little giraffe down with foam tape I stamped the sentiment in black ink on the bottom of the card. That beautiful “Thank You” is from the Friendship Greetings Stamp Set and looks lovely on any card! After I had Lola down and the sentiment stamped I added a few random sequins from the Aww-tumn Sequins Remixed and Fall Blessings embellishment sequin packs.

Pictured above are the brand new Triangle Embellishment Trays and

Embellishment Pick Up Tool and I love using them when I have to place sequins or sprinkles on my cards.

Here is one more look at both cards photographed with all of the supplies I used on them.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope I gave you some new ideas for using your slimline dies in a not so traditional way. The sky is the limit with your imagination and creativity!

Hello Sunshine

I do love Fall’s beautiful colors and it’s sweater weather! Not to mention it’s time for apple picking, a pumpkin patch visit and watching the leaves change!

You’ll ‘Fall’ in love with all of the beautiful new slimline dies, slimline envelopes, slimline acetate and sprinkles/sequins at Kat Scrappiness!

For my slimline card, I used the new Wood Grain Framed Diamond Wire Slimline Die to cut chocolate brown cardstock. To create the shaker, I then adhered slimline acetate to the back of the Wood Grain Framed Diamond Wire Slimline diecut, added Aww-tumn Sequin Remix and Red Cherry Blossom Sprinkles and covered the back with wood grain pattern paper. I then adhered it all to the card base.

These sweet sunflowers, kitty and sentiment are all from Newton’s Nook.

September Release Recap with Caren
How did you like the September release? What was your favorite product? I loved all the new Halloween sprinkles!

Here is a closer look at the cards I created for this release.

I’ll start with my favorite. I created the black frame by using the new Neverending Slimline dies. I took the two largest dies in the set and taped them together to give me a nice even frame, then ran it thru my die cut machine. I added a piece of Kat Scrappiness’s slimline sized acetate sheets to the back of my frame and added foam tape around it to set up for a shaker card. I filled the card with the following sprinkles – Pick Your Poison, Silver Starlights, Lime Green Confetti sprinkles, Orange Confetti sprinkles, and Dark Purple Confetti sprinkles.

I added the panel to a white card base. Then adhered three colors classes and a banner with my I’ve Got Boos sentiment.

My second card uses the Foliage Frame Slimline die cut out of black card stock. I used the condensed lowercase alphabet dies to cut out the word boo. I cut it out of orange patterned paper and out of black card stock. I layered these together to give a bit of dimension to the letters. I adhered the frame, ghosts from my stash, and the boo sentiment to my card base that I covered in green pattern paper. To finish the card, I added a few sequins and ghosts from the Boo-Tackular sequin mix.

My third card is another Halloween shaker card. I used the Chevron Slimline die on two patterned papers – orange dots and black dots. In then inlaid the black dot pieces into the orange frame. The shaker part was pumpkin dies from my stash and I added sequins from the Bewitched mix. I added this to a purple card base and die cut my Trick or Treat sentiment from the same purple paper. I finished the card by adding a few purple sequins from the Going Batty Halloween mix.

My last card is a non-Halloween card using the Wood Grain Framed Diamond Wire Slimline die cut from white card stock. I ink blended the background using two shades of pink distress inks. I colored the cute little birds with Copic makers and stamped my sentiment on a Banner. I added a few clear solid sequins to finish the card.

Honoring 9/11 Firemen

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today is the day to HONOR all our FIREMEN that risk their lives on September 11th and the weeks that followed when the Twin Towers fell. I hope this card does these HEROES justice. This is Essential Worker (Fireman) from Paper Nest Dolls. I used Kat Scrappiness Distressed Edge, Zig Zag Nesting, and Cityscape Slimline Dies to create my scene. And to lighten up this post, I have included pictures of my nephew and I playing FIREMAN… at the time I was really into the TV Show Chicago Fire so I bought him a Fireman costume for us to play!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Where were you on 9/11?

A: Me? I was sitting at my breakfast table getting ready for work as a nanny, needless to say we all stayed home glued to the TV that day

Fur Baby Love

Hello and welcome to the Kat Scrappiness blog! It’s Lisa from Oh So Cute By Lisa and I have a card for all you animal lovers out there! If you haven’t noticed slimline dies are all the rage right now and Kat Scrappiness is now carrying a wide variety of slimline dies with some very unique styles! I used 2 of the newest slimline dies for my card.

I started out with a card base of 8 1/2″ x 7″ and scored it 3 1/2″. The next layer is the largest die from the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies and it is cut from kraft card stock. The top layer is cut from white card stock using the 2nd largest die from the Embossed Edge Nesting Slimline Dies.

For the main focal point on my card I used the word dies and the pawprint die from the Pet Sentiments Dies. I filled the pawprints with some patterned

paper I made myself using a stencil.

To finish off my card I added these 3 fun sprinkles

around the words and the pawprints:

Happy Kitty Sprinkles

Paw Print Sprinkles

Red Heart Sprinkles

I’m really happy with how this card came out and I just love the

paw prints in the WOOF and MEOW dies!

Give Thanks Die Cut Card by Martha Lucia

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here. Welcome to Kat Scrappiness Blog! Have you seen the most recently addition of die cuts? OMG, I am fascinated and for today I will show you a Give Thanks Die Cut Card created with slimline dies and Decorative dies.

I love to create cards combining different products and this time I made a slimline card and die cut the second layer using textured card stock and one of the dies included on the Distressed Edge Nesting Slimline Dies. I believe these distressed edge dies are gorgeous to obtain different looks and for my card it is perfect. I pasted the distressed layer directly over a white card base.

In a separate piece of white card stock, I stamped some of the images included on the stamp set Happy Fall Y’all and colored them with Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir. Then, I fussy cut all with scissors and arranged them over the decorated card base using crafty foam tape.

To finalize the card, I die cut the Give Thanks Wreath Die onto purple card stock and edited in my way with scissors to use only the sentiment and coordinate the images with my stamped leaves. I loved how it turned out and to give more dimension, I just pasted with crafty foam tape.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope inspire you with my card! Have a wonderful week!

What’s Up, Gnomie?
Happy Friday everyone – we made it through another week!

Today I have a fun card using a couple of the new slimline dies and gnome stamps from Kat Scrappiness.

I started by die cutting with the largest Wonky Stitched Slimline die set from white card stock and both of the Stitched Slimline Hills dies from brown card stock. I then blended the die cuts with distress inks. I then stamped images from the Summer Gnomes and Add-Ons sets and colored the images with Copic markers. I adhered all the die cuts and images to my slimline yellow card base.

I stamped my sentiment from the Summer Gnome stamp set and added a Hot Pink Heart sprinkle and a few clear sequins to finish the card.

Thanks for stopping by!
