  • 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.

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

    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:

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

  • When Black Cats Prowl

    When Black Cats Prowl

    Hello crafty friends, Cheryl here today with a Halloween card. I used one of Kat’s new stamp sets called Toil & Trouble Layered Stamp Set. It’s really cute! So let’s get to it. Simple card today, but kinda vintage looking.

    I stamped out the cute black cat from KS Toil & Trouble Layered Stamp Set using three shades of dark gray to black. I knew I wanted to mount him onto the black die cut image for the cat and also knew I was using a white card base. So I fussy cut him leaving just a tiny bit of white left showing. I then used foam adhesive and adhered it to the die cut. I stamped green eyes for him and added Glossy Accents to make them shine.

    I cut the first layer of patterned paper using the new KS Cross Stitched Rectangle Dies…LOVE!!! Lol, anyway, I also cut a black piece to layer the stamped sentiment on…which I cut using the KS Never Ending Rectangle Dies. While I had the Never Ending dies out I cut a larger piece in white. I layered that over a bright green pattern from a Lawn Fawn pad called Perfectly Plaid Rainbow Petite Paper Pack. I layered all the papers together and then added it to the card base. Finally, I used some liquid glue and placed the cat. I chose some sequins from Sparkling Manhattan Sequin Mix and some from Grandma’s Garden Sequin Mix and glued to the front.

    I then went to finish off the inside of the card. I stamped the middle layer of the cat stamp in a mid gray ink. I then created a layered sentiment with one from the Toil & Trouble Layered Stamp Set. I took a few more of the sequins and glued them to the inside.

    And that’s it for me today. Hope you like my card. Here’s where you can get these supplies, and many more.

    Hi there everyone! It’s Cheryl again today. I have a fun little Halloween 3D project for you today. I used an svg file and my Cameo to cut it out. The rest is Kat Scrappiness dies.  Hope you like!

    I printed off some digital paper from my stash and then cut out the file using my Silhouette Cameo. I then used KS Never Ending Square dies and KS Fancy Scalloped Stitched Squares. I cut a window into one side using the square die. Then I cut a square using the scalloped dies and centered a smaller square from the Never Ending dies to create a frame for around my window. I put vellum on the backside and then glued the frame around it. I also cut square mats and fancy scallop pieces to create panels for the other three sides. I used foam squares and liquid to glue to attach.

    I then pulled out a stamp that says Boo and cut that using a Lawn Fawn die. I added that with foam squares and then liquid glue to attach to each side. I scattered around some sequins and then put a battery operated tea light inside. I tied it shut with some lime green ribbon.

    I pulled out a dark orange ink pad and did a bit of inking around the edges of the box to cover over any of the white core of the paper. I don’t like to see that, lol.

    So that’s it for me today. You can use any of your digital cutting files and then jazz them up with stamps and dies. It’s the best of both worlds, stamping and dies, and electronic die cutting machines. Who says you can’t do it all, lol!

    Hello everyone this is Mona back with a card featuring  Kat Scrappiness brand new Never Ending Rectangle Dies and a fun stamp from Prima called, Valentina Prima Doll.

    I first started by selecting the paper I wanted and took the largest rectangle from the  Never Ending Rectangle Die Set and then skipped one and took the next size and placed them carefully on my paper securing them with washi tape to make sure it wouldn’t move when I pass it in my Vagabond. This made my frame for my card. I proceeded by adhering the frame to my card base which is 4 1/4″x 5 1/2 ” .

    Now for the fun part. I stamped Valentina twice, once on white cardstock and once on patterned paper with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink . I coloured the skin and hair on my doll and fussy cut the dress from the patterned paper.  Once that was complete I added a sentiment called Craft Today from Art Impressions and added back cardstock to mat it. For the finishing touch I added Kat’s beautiful sequins called Pink Wood grain sequins.

    This completes my card for today, I hope you enjoyed this mini tutorial. Thanks for stopping by and see you again soon. For your browsing convenience here is the link to Kat Scrappiness.

  • Winter Shaker Card using New Kat Scrappiness Sequins with Jess

    Winter Shaker Card using New Kat Scrappiness Sequins with Jess

    Hello crafty friends! I’m so excited to be sharing my first post as a designer for Kat Scrappiness. For today’s card I will be using two Kat Scrappiness dies and some of the beautiful new sequins.

    The inspiration for this card was receiving some of the amazing new sequin mixes that were just released into the shop including the Blue Steel sequins I included on this project. I have a full video tutorial for you today that you can watch below or watch on YouTube.

    Video:

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPDCzItERg4]

    I started by stamping and coloring some of the adorable birds from the Lawn Fawn Winter Sparrows stamp set. I colored them in red and green so they would really pop off the blue background I intended to make. I wanted to create a unique shaker panel so I cut the edge of my panel with one of the new Kat Scappiness Scalloped Border Dies. Then I cut a large square from the Kat Scrappiness Never Ending Squares die set. I covered the panel with some Broken China Distress Oxide inks and added a bit of shimmer. I decided to use some vellum instead of acetate to create my shaker window because I thought it work well with the winter theme I was going for.

    For an extra detail, I stamped the little music notes on the vellum and arranged my scene on top of the shaker. Remember it’s much easier to stamp before you assemble the shaker. I added the Blue Steel sequins to this card to mimic the look of snow and ice.

    I’m so excited to create even more with the other beautiful sequins and dies that I received.

  • Bee Strong

    Bee Strong

    Hello everyone this is Mona back with a fun card featuring several of Kat Scrappiness dies and a lovely stamp set from Gerda Steiner.

    I started by cutting my card base  4 1/4x 5 1/2, and picking the pattern paper from my stash. I then die cut the Gift Bag Die twice and proceeded by die cutting a square to make my Shaker card in the first bag using Stitched Square Dies. For my card base I used the largest die in the Stitched Rectangle Die set .

    Now for the fun part, I stamped this cute stamp called Bee Strong by Gerda Steiner using my Jet Black from Lawn Fawn then used my alcohol markers to colour the image.

    I took out my sequins called Bumble Bee Sequins mix that is a  perfect mix for this card and went ahead and  used two way foam tape to adhere both bags together then adhered everything else in place. This completes my card for today, hope you enjoyed it.
