  • How Old???

    How Old???

    Good morning, Cheryl here today. I’m working with some new dies from Kathleen’s own line at KatScrappiness. I hope you like how I used them. Here’s what I did.

     

    I cut three different sizes of the KS Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Circle Dies. I then chose appropriate sizes of the KS Double Stitched Circle Dies to cut out the centers to make gears. I then chose different shades of gray inks and used a sponge applicator to blend on the inks. I added acetate to the backs, filled with seed beads and another piece of acetate to seal them in. I did this for each die cut. For the smallest gear, I saved the cut out center and stamped my sentiment from Gerda Steiner’s Moody Unicorns stamp set.  I had to snip the How Old? stamp in half to get it to fit within the circle.

    I went through my stash of patterned papers and found this gray striped paper that I thought would fit for a masculine card perfectly. I trimmed it down to just shy of a standard A2 size card base and adhered down using tape adhesive.

    I then used the new Sign Post Die Set by Kat Scrappiness to use for my sub sentiment. I again blended on some gray ink and stamped another of the sentiments from the Moody Unicorns stamp set. I then set out to arrange all my gears to appear as if they are locked together and would all turn if one turned. I used a liquid glue and adhered in place. I added foam tape to one end of the sentiment strip and layered over the largest die. I chose the Sangria Masquerade Sequin Mix from the KS sequin shop and picked out the muted/brushed looking metal colors. Sort of gold, pewter, bronze looking ones. I love this mix!!! I scattered a few around and glued in place.

    So, here’s your shopping list.

  • One-layer Thank you Card with Angeline

    One-layer Thank you Card with Angeline

    YAY! It is almost the weekend. Angeline here to share with you a one layer card I made using the Hero Arts Thank You Messages stamp set. Sometimes, all you need is a quick card and since this set has so many beautiful Thank You sentiments, I thought — why not stamp all of them on my card and create a rainbow?

    So, that is just what I did using a stamping platform. Kat has the Tim Holtz stamping platform in the store, which is perfect for this kinda card. What’s great about having a stamping platform is, you can place your stamps first before inking them up, to see where each stamp will go. Then, grab your inks (I am using Altenew dye inks) and ink away! Missed a spot? No problem! You can stamp over and over again with a stamping platform.

    And to add some bling to the card, I used a mix of Kat Scrappiness Sequins. Kat has sooooo many colors in her store, you can grab a few, mix it up and create your own shades of sequins!

    Here is the list of supplies I used to make this card. For all the supplies linked, you can get it from Kat Scrappiness store. Do remember to use my code “Angeline10” to get 10% off your order! Happy shopping.

    Hello everyone this is Mona back with a fun art journal page featuring Kat Scrappiness brand new Stitched Dolphins die set and  the  Sign post die set . 

    I  started with my three favourite colours TH Distress Oxide Broken China, Faded Jeans and Wilted Violets to make my background using my Dreamweaver Stencil Brush.

    Once all three colours were to my satisfaction, I took a old paint brush dipped it in water, and added some splatters, and took my big brush markers to make a horizontal line to differentiate the ocean from the sky.

    I added some Stamping at the bottom using my Jet Black Lawn Fawn Ink and a stamp set from my stash. Coloured in the seaweeds using some alcohol markers. I also die cut the 3 dolphins twice once in black to create the shadow and in white to be able to colour them in gray.

    Here is where I die cut my sign post, coloured it a very light beige,  then added a wood grain stamp over it using a light brown ink to imitate the wood. I took my sharpie and wrote random things on my posts. I also added a moon. This concludes my mini tutorial for today.  Hope you enjoyed it.

    Thanks for for stopping by and hope to see you again soon. Don’t forget to stop by Kat Scrappiness store at https://www.katscrappiness.com/ for your shopping convenience.

    Hello everyone this is Mona back with a fun journal page featuring the brand new die set from Kat Scrappiness called Cute Layered Owl Die Set.. everyone knows I love owls so this is a favourite of mine. Let me walk you thru the steps of my journal page.

    I started by adding modpodge with torn pieces of script paper  in random places  on my background , once that was dry I added a thin layer of light blue paint on top. Now for the fun part, I used several different stencils from my stash, white and dark blue paint, and stenciled, using my Dream weaver Stencil Brush. For the finishing touch I added a bit of stamping using a old script stamp and some Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink.

    These are what I used to cut the elements for my page… Kat Scrappiness cute owl die set and a Stampendous stamp set for the tree. I also stamped a fence twice and fussy cut them. I used my alcohol markers to colour in all my images.

    Once everything was cut out, I placed them on my page and adhered them with modpodge. This is where I noticed I needed more stenciling so I added a bit more. I continued by adding the shadow all around my images, used a green marker to add grass and finished off by adding my sentiment.

    This finishes off my mini tutorial.  Thank you very much for stopping by . I hope to see you again soon. Bye bye for now ?

  • Nuvo Glimmer Paste Background & Lola the Giraffe with Angeline

    Nuvo Glimmer Paste Background & Lola the Giraffe with Angeline

    Hi there! Angeline here to share with you a card I made today using the ever cute Kat Scrappiness Lola the Giraffe stamp set. I also have a process VIDEO right at the end of this post, to show you step-by-step on how I made this.

    First, I created my glittery background using Nuvo Glimmer Paste – Golden Crystal and Nuvo Glimmer Paste – Peridot Green. These glimmer paste are just sooooo pretty and shiny! Plus, it dries fairly quickly and the glitter does not rub off when it is dried. SCORE! I used The Crafter’s Workshop stencil “Mini Daisy Clusters” with the glimmer paste and wa-la — my very own shimmery background!

    Then I embossed the thank you sentiment from the Hero Arts Thank You Messages stamp set on some vellum, then popped Lola the Giraffe on some foam adhesive — and I am done!

    Here is the process video on how I made this card.

  • Don’t Flip Out…

    Don’t Flip Out…

    Hey there, Cheryl here…thanks for coming by! I have a card today using one of the BRAND NEW dies from KatScrappiness. Her very own dies! And they’re adorable!!! Check out what I did with the Stitched Dolphin Dies.

    I started out by playing with some Distress Oxide Inks in Broken China, Faded Jeans, and Cracked Pistachio and created a watery looking background. I went back and forth numerous times till I got what I was hoping for…never know with water, lol! I then cut the piece with a KS Embossed Large Nested Rope Dies. I arranged the two KS Stitched Dolphin’s Dies where I wanted them and ran through my Big Shot. I added acetate on the back side and created wells to fill with seed beads from my stash. I chose a clear glass color. Then added foam tape and covered over the wells with more acetate. That’s the best way for me to keep them in and line up the card front easier to the card base.

    I didn’t want to  just throw away the dolphin cut outs, so I cut again with a pearlized ivory colored cardstock and offset them just a bit. I added foam squares to the backs right behind the head and used liquid glue at the tails. It appears they’re jumping off the card front, lol. I offset these enough to see the shaker bits from underneath. I love the sound of shakers as much as seeing the bits shake about, lol. I added a black sticker dot for the eyes.

    I then took a piece of the same pearlized cardstock and die cut using the same rope dies only a smaller one. I then lined it back in the die and shifted it to get a square and did a partial die cut. I chose a blue ink to match the background and stamped a sentiment from my stash that I thought fit nicely with the theme of the card. I popped it up with foam squares.

    I then went in with some KS Blue Waters Jewels Sequin Mix and the muted silver color from the Sangria Masquerade Sequin Mix  and scattered them about. I also added a few drops of Grey Mist Nuvo Jewel Drops  here and there to look like water drops. I finished by brushing a bit of  Clear Overlay Sparkle Marker by Spectrum Noir to add a bit of glimmer to the dolphins. I then added the entire piece to an A2 size card base of Neenah Solar White in the 110 pound weight.

    And that’s it. Hope you like my project and will head over to KatScrappiness  and check out the supplies I linked above and find lots more awesome things! Happy shopping and happy crafting!

  • SEAL AT SEA

    SEAL AT SEA

    Hello everyone, this is Mona back with fun art journal page using Kat Scrappiness brand new Seal dies.

    I started by using my Dylusions Creative Journal.  I gave a coat of gesso to my background.  I then applied two tones of blue paint to make the sky and my water.  I applied  some white  paint thru a stencil to give it dimension .  Next I took my script stamp and my Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink to stamp at random places to finish off my background.

    Now for the fun part I die cut two seals and the iceberg then decided where I wanted them on my page. I proceeded to colour all my pieces using my copics. Then used my big brush markers to add snow mountains in the background and the shadows and highlights around my seals.  I made my sentiment using a large sharpie marker and highlighted with my Uniball White Gel Pen.

    This completes my mini tutorial, thanks for stopping by. I hope I see you again soon.

  • It’s Been Tooo Long…

    It’s Been Tooo Long…

    Hi everyone this is Mona back again with another fun card featuring Lola the giraffe stamp set from Kat Scrappiness. I really love this stamp set.

    I started by die cutting GM stitched circle background plate twice one with the cork look paper and one with the teal circles.

    Here I stamped the giraffe three times using Lawn Fawn jet black ink and fussy cut them keeping only the head . Once they were coloured I placed and adhered everything in place. I knew it needed a little something extra so I decided to stamp several butterflies again from the same stamp set and placed them randomly.

    I stamped the sentiment and adhered it to my card and this completes my card for today. Hope you enjoyed this mini tutorial. Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you again soon.

  • Owl Nuvo Mousse Tag with Angeline

    Owl Nuvo Mousse Tag with Angeline

    Hi my dear scrappy friends. Angeline here to share with you a tag I made using the brand new Kat Scrappiness Cute Layered Owl die. I also have a NEW VIDEO to show you how I made this tag step-by-step at the end of this post 🙂

    I first cut out the tag using Kat Scrappiness Stitched Scalloped Nesting tags die (I am using the largest size here). Then it’s time to color it up! 🙂 I grabbed my Nuvo Mousse [Indian Gold, Aquamarine, Pink Peony] , a Dylusions stencil [Shattered] and a stencil brush to dab the mousse onto my tag. What I like about these mousse is, they are so pretty in color and it dries fairly quickly!

    Then I assembled the pieces from the Kat Scrappiness Cute Layered Owl die, and blinged up the owl using lots of Nuvo Drops [colors listed in the supply list below]. I stamped the THANKS banner from the Hero Arts Thank You Messages stamp set, and fussy cut it. I also cut out the circle from Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Circle die.

    Here is the process video on how I made this tag:

  • Teacher Thank You Card

    Teacher Thank You Card

    Hey, everyone! It’s Kevin here sharing a colorful thank you card that would be perfect for teachers or anyone at school or daycare using a couple different sets from Lawn Fawn. Check it out-

    I started by figuring out what order I wanted my crayons from Color My World to be in when I did my masking. I stamped them on some scratch paper first and numbered them to save some thinking time for the actual card.

    After stamping the jar from How You Bean? I used some Inkadinkadoo masking paper to mask off the crayons inside the jar.

    Some quick Copic coloring and a Distress Ink smooshed background made this card super colorful. An easy sentiment made from the Kat Scrappiness Thank You die finished it off!

    Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
