  • Peacock cover die feature by Jo Herbert

    Peacock cover die feature by Jo Herbert

     

    Hi all, Jo here welcome to a cardset creation using the latest Peacock cover die just released this month.  I have done something a little different where I have I used the cover die as a card base front. To achieve this cardbase I played around with my “bigshot sandwich” .

    When running through the cutting mat in the big shot make sure you place your cutting mat so it is not covering the whole die. This technique is called “partial die cutting”.  See below the picture where I have shown where I have placed my cutting mat.

    I have also heat embossed with WOW! Embossing Powder Bright White Opaque & Metallic Rich Gold embossing powders on the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Scalloped Heart Dies the sentiments.  The stampset I have chosen for this cardset is the Neat & Tangled Love Notes where I have heat embossed with the add-on sentiments as well.

    On the hearts I have ink blended with a heavy hand on the outer edge of the hearts working with a lighter hand towards the centre for a more gradient look.

    On one of the cards I have heat embossed the outer edges of the scalloped hearts to add a faux layer to the die cut.

    To finish the card off I have stuck the heart die cut has been foam mount directly on the card front.

    This card set is quick and easy and can be made in bulk.

    Hope you enjoyed today’s card set. To see this card made I have created a Youtube of the card making process.

  • 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.

  • Happiness Is Handmade…

    Happiness Is Handmade…

    Hello crafty friends and welcome to the Kat Scrappiness Blog! Today I have a quick tutorial showing you how I have created this fabulous crafty card using some amazing products from Kat Scrappiness.

    To get started, I first used the two biggest dies from the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Dies by Kat Scrappiness to die cut two card panels.

    Next, I used the second largest heart from the newly released Stitched Scalloped Heart Dies by Kat Scrappiness and die cut a black heart. Using the new Crafters Gonna Craft 4″x 6″ Clear Stamp Set by Kat Scrappiness, I stamped the “Happiness is Handmade” sentiment onto my die cut heart using Tsukineko Versamark Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed it using Hero Arts White Embossing Powder.

    I then stamped a few of the crafty stamps from the Crafters Gonna Craft 4″ x 6″ Clear Stamp Set by Kat Scrappiness in various positions on my white die cut card panel using Tsukineko Versamark Clear Embossing Ink and heat embossed them using Hero Arts – Detail Black Embossing Powder.

    Now for the fun part…… I decided that I wanted to add color to my stamped images but couldn’t decide if I wanted to use markers, colored pemcils, etc., so I decided to pull out my Coliro Artist Mica Pearl Watercolor Paints by Finetec and have some fun!

    Once everything was painted and dried, it was time to add some bling (cause what is a crafty card if there is no bling?!?!). I used these amazing White Jewels from Kat Scrappiness and added a few to the scalloped heart sentiment using my favorite crafty glue, Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    And there you have it…..my completed crafty card!! I can’t wait to send this off to one of my dear crafty friends.

    I hope that you have enjoyed today’s quick tutorial and it has sparked some inspiration for you to create your very own crafty cards.

  • You’re a Legend!

    Hi Friends! kel here today to share a punny card with you!!

    I used the brand new Crafter’s Essentials 1 Dies on this card. That stitched rounded piece is such a perfect size and I was so happy with how nicely it fit in the center of the card… big enough to make a statement but not so big that you don’t get to see the paper behind it!!  I stamped out Nessie from the Loveable Legends by Lawn Fawn stamp set, then used the coordinating dies to cut her out and then colored her up with my Copics. I used the waves stamp from the same stamp set and stamped out some water on the stitched panel using the Mermaid ink pad, and then offset her to the side a bit. I also stamped out the sentiment using the Merman ink pad and then made a fishtail banner out of it!

    The last thing I did was to add some sequins because sequins always make it better lol! For this one I picked out blues and clears from the Turquoise Sunrise sequin mix, and then greens from the Spring Leaves sequin mix. I really love that you can mix and match from different sequin mixes to make what works for your project!!

    Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon! Don’t forget to take part in our awesome monthly challenge for your chance to win a $25 Gift Card!!

  • Happy Birthday Card by Maria

    Happy Birthday Card by Maria

    Do you ever run out of birthday cards?  I do!  I make them a lot but I always seem to run out of these cards, right when I need it the most.  This gave me the motivation to make some birthday cards today.

    I am showcasing a lot of products from Kat Scrappiness.   I used the new Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Dies, the Woodgrain Frame Diamond Wire Background Die, the Photo Booth 4 x 8 Clear Stamps by Your Next Stamp, the Photo Booth Polaroid die, the Stitched Flag Diesand the Everyday Brush Stroke stamp set by Kat Scrappiness.

    I started out by die-cutting the polaroid with some white card stock.  I stamped the images on the inside of the polaroid, and colored them in with my Copic markers.  I die-cut another piece of white card stock using the Stitched Scallop Rectangle Dies.

    IMG_8458

    To create my own patterned paper, I used the Everyday Brush Stroke stamp set to stamp the images on my card panel.

    IMG_8459

    I picked up the die-cuts and I temporarily placed them on top of my stamping tool so I can figure out the placement for the stamp images, as well as the polaroids.

    IMG_8460

    I die-cut the smallest of the Tag Banner Dies with the Lawn Fawn Gotta Have Gingham 6×6 patterned paper in different colors.  I assembled the card my adhering the polaroids on top of the stamped background.  I added the tag banner dies behind one of the photos.    I stamped the sentiment “Happy Birthday” from the Everyday Brush Stroke stamp set.

    IMG_8461

    To finish my design, I added some black dots to the background to fill in some empty spaces.

    KatScrapPhotoselfie1B

    Aren’t those images so adorable?  I also love the colorful tag banner dies behind the photo.  It made it look really festive!

    KatScrapPhotoselfie1B

    I really love how these cards turned out.  It took me about half an hour to make one card so it wasn’t too bad.  I will be mass-producing these cards so I can have them on hand.

    KatScrapPhotoselfie1

     

    Plus here’s another “just-because” card featuring  the new Woodgrain Frame Diamond Wire Background Die.  I did an inlaid background technique with the new die

     

     


    I inserted a heart-shaped paper clip and also included a push-pin sticker to make it look like a bulletin board.

  • Just Chicken-In Card – New Die at Kat Scrappiness

    Just Chicken-In Card – New Die at Kat Scrappiness

    Hello my crafty peeps!  I am super excited to share this post because today, we are launching a new die by Kat Scrappiness called Wood Grain Framed Diamond Wire Background Die.  This die is designed by Kathleen herself and it is AMAZING!  It gives a nice woodgrain-embossed details on the die-cut.  Here’s what it looks like:

     

    IMG_8538

     

    I stamped my images on Neenah solar white card stock with my Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored them in with my Copic markers.  I fuzzy-cut the images using my precision cut scissors.

     

    I used some older dies by Lawn Fawn to die-cut the grass hills and the picket fence.

     

    I die-cut some silver foiled card stock using the new die.  I also used another light tan card stock to die-cut the same piece so I can layer them together.  For the second piece, I cut the wires using my scissors, and adhered this piece onto the silver foiled card stock.  I adhered an acetate sheet to this piece, then added foam adhesive to create my little well for my shaker card.

     

    I cut an A2 size card stock for my card base.  I used the Sunburst Layering Stencils by Honeybee Stamps (also available at the shop) to color my card base.  I used a clouds stencil die to add the clouds.

     

    I added the Walking on Sunshine sequin mix inside the well and adhered my card base on top to create my shaker card.  I adhered the chicken and the little chicks onto the foreground.

     

    To finish my design, I die-cut a white card stock using the Stitched Flag Dies and stamped the sentiment.  I added this piece to my card with a pink bow.

     

    KatScrapChickenWire1A

     

    I love, love, love this new die!  I love that it also embosses the die-cut.  This die will also be great to create some layers, or do an inlaid technique.  The possibilities are endless!

     

    KatScrapChickenWire1B

     

    You guys should also check out the new sequin mixes at the shop.  This Walking on Sunshine sequin mix is so cheerful and the colors are so vibrant!  I chose this mix to make it look like corn kernels 🙂

     

    KatScrapChickenWire1

     

    Please check out the new products available now at www.katscrappiness.com.   This new die is a must-have!  I hope you like my shaker card and wishing you all a wonderful day!  Happy crafting!

  • Swatch Samples using the Swatches Stamp Set

    • Hello everybody! It’s Jana and today I am stopping in to share a few different ways that I have been using the new Swatch Stamp Set that has just been released this month from Kat Scrappiness.  This stamp set comes complete with eight stamps including a large square, rectangle, two circles, a heart, a star, a splatter spot and rectangular box stamp. This set is perfect for swatching out your inks, markers, pens, pencils….just about everything!

    In this sample, I have swatched out just a few of the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks that I have. I have been looking for ways to swatch out my inks and other various mediums to allow me to easily look through and find a specific color or color combination that I want to use while crafting. In this sample, I used the large rectangle to stamp the ink swatches onto a 2.5 x 3.5 card which I keep in a page protector.  I typed up the names of each ink along with the brand onto sticker paper and applied to each color accordingly.

    For this next swatch, I used the open circle from the stamp set and stamped as many as I could fit onto an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. I then colored each using some of my Copic markers that I have and labeled to allow me to see which number and name are associated with each.

    For my third sample, I used the boxed rectangle stamp and stamped continually down the page.  I wanted to create a sample page for the Nuvo Crystal Drops that I have. I added a small amount of each Nuvo Drop color and again, typed up labels so that I new the name of the color at first glance.  I also plan to create more swatch pages like this for all of the Stickles I have as well as embossing powders, glitter, etc.

    This is an amazing Swatch set and is so versatile too.  Not only can I create any type of swatches I need to, I can use these basic shapes and designs to create simple cards and/or projects as well.

    I hope that you enjoyed this quick share of my swatch samples. If you are looking for a way to create your own, you can find the Swatch Stamp Set here. Thank you for visiting and have a fabulously crafty day!

  • Large Alpha Dies with Lawn Fawn Sweet Friends by Maria

    Large Alpha Dies with Lawn Fawn Sweet Friends by Maria

    Hello my crafty friends.  I am back today to share with you a simple Valentine’s Day card, showcasing the new Large Alphabet dies and Christmas Red Sequins by Kat Scrappiness,   Lawn Fawn Sweet Friends stamp set and Lawn Fawn Sweet Friends coordinating dies, plus other supplies available at the shop.

    I started out by stamping my images on Neenah Solar white card stock and I colored the images in with my Copic markers.   I cut another 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of Bristol Smooth white card stock and used my Tumbling Hearts stencil to create my background, with my Worn Lipstick distress oxide ink and the ink blending tool.

    IMG_7065

    I wanted to create a Valentine’s Day shaker card and also use the new Large Alphabet Dies.  I chose the letters, X and O and used my die-cutting machine to cut my background.  I covered it with my acetate and used my foam tape to create my shaker window.  I have been meaning to use the Christmas Red sequins and thought that this was the perfect color to use as my shaker element.

    IMG_7064

    To finish my design, I added my little Froyo images and stamped my sentiment.  I also added the little strawberries to the Froyo and covered it with glossy accents.  Here is the card:
