  • You Are A KOALA-TY Friend

    You Are A KOALA-TY Friend

    Happy Monday Friends!

    It’s Sheri here today with a FUN Friendship card featuring the adorable KOALA-TY Time stamp set along with the A2 Postcard die. I thought that I would try a little something different and use the A2 Postcard as the backdrop to my card instead of a plain white panel. The card size is a bit larger to allow me to add a mat and card base, the final card size measures 5 7/8″ x 4 5/8″.


    Steps to Create Card:

    • Cut & Create a Kraft Card Base: 5 7/8″ x 9 3/16″, scored at 4 9/16″ on the 9 3/16″ side.
    • Cut Black Mat: 5 5/8″ x 4 3/8″.
    • Cut White A2 Postcard die: 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″.
    • Cut Smallest Postage Stamp from the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge die set: 1 1/2″ x 1 1/8″.
    • Cut a small Red heart from the Heart Donut Builder die set: 9/16″ x 7 /16″.
    • Stamp greenery image around the postcard and then color with your favorite coloring medium. I used copic markers.
    • Lightly ink blend the edges of the post card and the postage stamp with kraft ink.
    • Stamp Koala image, color and fussy cut out.
    • Cut out the word Hello with the Hello Crafty Friend Word die with shadow using black card stock. You will have to snip the bottom where it connects to the word crafty to separate.
    • Stamp and emboss “You Are A KOALA-TY Friend” with white embossing powder onto a piece of black card stock and trim into a strip using the Boxed Sentiment Strip dies.
    • Assemble Card. (I added foam tape to little heart, postage stamp, Koala image and sentiment strip for some added dimension…this is optional)
    • For embellishment I added a few Clear Solid Round Confetti sequins using the Jewel Picker and Bearly Art Glue.

  • Happy Spring

    Happy Spring

    Hello friends!! Nora here with a simple card using some of the fabulous new Spring release from Kat Scrappiness. I combined the Hop into Easter paper with the Upper Case Condensed Alphabet Dies and the new Hippity Hoppity stamps to create a fun spring card.

    Card Details:

    • Mask off a piece of white cardstock with tape and blend yellow ink. Die cut the white paper using the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangle Die. Adhere the die cut to an A2, white card base.
    • Using the Uppercase Condensed Alphabet, die cut “hello” out of purple, gingham paper from the Hop into Easter paper pack. Use a ruler and tape to help with making your letters even. Add glue to the back of your taped letters and adhere to the card. When the adhesive is dry, carefully lift up the tape.
    • Stamp and color a bunny from the Hippity Hoppity Bunnies stamp set. Using foam adhesive, adhere the rabbit to the left side of the “h” in hello.

    • Stamp “happy spring” in black ink under the “hello” using the Hippity Hoppity Sentiment set.
    • Add a white enamel dot from the Kat Scrappiness America the Great enamel dots to the center of the flower and the card is complete.

    I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Please be sure to stop by the blog tomorrow for more fabulous projects by the Design Team.

  • Christmas Wishes

    Hello Friends Waleska here with my last card for 2021.  I took some vacations this past two weeks in the beautiful Florida and I was inspired by one of my trips to the beach for this card.  I hope you like it!

    CARD DETAILS:

    To start this card I diecut the front panel of the card with the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangle Die with white cardstock.  I then cut the Christmas flip flops with the Ugly Sweater Slimline paper pack, I love the traditional christmas colors of this pattern paper, I then cut the sand with the Summer Fun Essentials I added vintage photo oxide ink to give the sand more texture.

    I used a cloud stencil to create the sky and I used the word dies Happy Holidays and Christmas Wishes I combined the two of them to create this sentiment.  I also die cut this two words with gold cardstock to create a golden shadow on them.  I finally adhered this panel to a green cardbase and added some stars.

    I hope you have a wonderful Season and no matter where you are, you are happy and healthy!

  • I Miss You This Much

    I Miss You This Much

    How did everyone like the new release?  Had you heard of a quokka before?  I hadn’t, but they are so cute.

     

    My card features the quokka within the frame from the Quokka’n Up stamp set.  I stamped, colored, and cut out the stamps using Copic markers and my Silhouette Cameo.  I die cut a piece of white card stock using the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangle dies.  I used a stencil can distress ink to lightly sponge blue ink onto this layer.  Then added a few ink splatters with black ink.    I heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set onto black card stock and white embossing powder.  I added a few blue heart droplets to finish the card.

    Thanks for stopping by!

  • Happy Easter Shaker Card

    Happy Monday everyone!  Hope everyone had a great weekend – I was able to spend a lot of time in my craft room creating cards for the upcoming Kat Scrappiness release.

    Today, I have a fun Easter shaker card using several Kat Scrappiness dies and sequin mixes.

    I created the frame for the shaker card by using the largest Stitched Postage Stamp Edge die and the second to largest Double Stitched Rectangle dies and used it on some pastel, plaid patterned paper.  They nest perfectly together!  I adhered a piece of Kat Scrappiness acetate to the back of the frame and added small strips of foam tape.

    I used a bunny background stamp and stamped it in pink to use behind my shaker portion of the card.  I added sequins from three different sequin mixes – Easter Egg Hunt, Easter Egg Parade, and Easter Bunnies.  After adding my sequins, I attached my bunny background panel.  I added this panel to my white card base.  To finish the card, I die cut the Brush Script Happy Easter sentiment from yellow card stock and adhered that directly to the acetate.

    This was such a fun card to make and shake!  I need to make more full panel shaker cards.

  • Tags from Shaped Dies

    Tags from Shaped Dies

    Hi crafters, is everyone ready for Christmas?  I’m almost there, but first I needed a few more tags.

    I pulled out my various shaped dies from Kat Scrappiness.  These work great to make tag dies if you don’t have the traditional shaped tag dies.

    I used the same design on each of my tags.  I die cut each tag from white card stock and ink blended with distress ink and snowflake stencils.  I then used the same shape dies and cut them from sparkly white paper and cut a sloped edge to resemble snow banks.  I adhered these directly to each coordinating tag.

    All my images are from the Merry Critters stamp set from Kat Scrappiness.  I stamped these on white card stock, colored them with Copics, and cut them out with my Silhouette cameo.  I found Merry Christmas sentiments from my stash and added red ribbon to finish the tags.

    For this round tag, I used the Stitched Scalloped Circle dies.

    This tag uses the Stitched Zig Zag square dies.

    My last tag used the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge dies.

     

    Do you make your own tags?  If so, do you find dies from your stash that aren’t technically tag dies?

  • Sequins, Sprinkles, and Confetti, oh my!

    Sequins, Sprinkles, and Confetti, oh my!

    Hey friends, how is everyone doing on their Christmas and Holiday cards?  I got all mine mailed out yesterday.  I think I mailed about 50 cards out this year!

    For today’s card, I used a combination of Kat Scrappiness sequins, sprinkles, and confetti for this fun Christmas card.

    I colored a cute snowman image with Copic markers, added a black frame and a pocket for my sequin mixes.  I used the following mixes from Kat Scrappiness – Falling Snow sprinkles, blue star confetti, white star confetti, and the Frozen II sequin mix.  I love the way all of these mix together perfectly.

    I used the largest die from the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge rectangle dies to cut a piece of paper from the My Favorite Winter paper pad from Echo Park.  I wrapped a piece of black and white twine around this panel and tied a bow.  I then adhered this to the card base with dimensional adhesive.  I added my shaker piece and three of the Falling Snow sprinkles to finish the card.

  • Bright Coffee Fun!

    Hi Friends! kel here today to share a bright and fun coffee card using the new Let’s Get Caffinated stamp set =o)

    I definitely wanted to make the sentiment the focus of the card because it’s so cute!! I think it would be super cute to make it like a multi-colored subway art kinda thing too… something to try next!!

     

    The sentiment was stamped with Memento black ink. I used the super cute coffee cups from the Coffee Chick stamp set by Your Next Stamp to randomly stamp out a background and then colored them up with my Copics. I wanted to stick with a fun and bright scheme but kinda messed up the spacing of the 3 colors which is why you’ll see a couple darker shares of green and orange in there haha!! After stamping out my sentiment, I trimmed it out to fit on a nice bright turquoise cutout from the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangle dies and popped it up on some 3d squares. The last thing I did was add some glitter to the flowers on the cups because glitter=more fun!

    Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

  • Mini Notecards by Lisa

    Mini Notecards by Lisa

    Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans! 

    It’s Lisa here on the blog today to bring you a sweet mini trio of notecards. I have an easy technique that I think you are going to like. We are going to make mini notecards using the nested dies we all love and reach for all the time for our regular sized cards. The finished size of each card is approximately 4 1/8″ x 2 3/4″. What you need is the largest die from any of your nested die sets.  I’ve used rectangles but squares would work as well.  The 3 nested die sets I’ve used are the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangles, the Stitched Scalloped Rectangles and the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle Dies.

    For my trio of sweet cards I used patterned paper for the card base for some color and variety but any paper or cardstock would work.

    After I die cut the largest size die from each set, I folded the paper in half to create a mini card. 

    Then comes the fun part! Decorate to your heart’s desire! I added a white piece of cardstock to the front of each mini card and stamped a background with florals and then popped the focal points up on foam tape. I used the Scripty “Hello My Crafty Friend” die as the sentiment on 2 of the cards. I finished each card off with some pretty twine and 3 sparkly sequins from the Barbie Sequin mix. I stuck with the rule of 3 to place my sequins down and it was just the right amount of added sparkle.

    Since the card base is made from dies that have decorative edges, your cards will have 3 fancy edges that are so pretty!

    Making these mini notecards is a cinch and they come together so quickly!  Kat’s nested dies are the perfect size to create these mini cards. It might not be a new technique but it sure is fun! Small notecards are perfect for lunchbox notes, quick thank you cards or for any occasion that calls for a quick small card! For some added fun you can make your envelope out of the same patterned paper to match your card.  The possibilities are endless!

    All supplies used are linked below.

    Have a great day everyone!

    I already am!

  • 3 Easy-to-make Patriotic Cards!

    3 Easy-to-make Patriotic Cards!

    Greetings, Friends! Memorial Day and 4th of July will be coming before we know it, how is that possible? It seems as if we JUST celebrated Christmas. This only means one thing, we’d all better get busy crafting in advance! Fortunately, for us, Kathleen has new stamp sets that make this a breeze!

    It’s Hannah, by the way, intrepid Design Team Member for Kat Scrappiness. Today I’m sharing you 3 variations on the same card, these options will make your celebratory card making a snap! AND, if you’re mass producing it will provide you with a break from making the exact same card over and over again!


    I created these three similar cards using my stamping platform and 2 of Kat’s new stamp sets! The Everyday Brush Strokes set, and Swatches. Additionally, I thought that the Stitched Postage Stamp Rectangle Dies would finish these cards off to perfection while helping to give the Americana look I was looking for.

    To start, I lined up one of the brush stroke stamps and the star, from the above-listed stamp sets onto my Tim Holtz Stamping Platform. There are a lot of stamping platforms on the market, but in my opinion, the Tim Holtz one is superior for this project because it allowed me to shift my cardstock as much as I needed, without the worry that my paper would run off the platform. LOVE that option on this tool!


    For this card, I embossed the stars and the stripes with Versamark Ink and WOW! Clear Embossing Powder! Then I lightly dusted Distress Inks over the embossing. I believe I used Candied Apple for the red, and Salty Ocean. I used a finger dauber, and made sure that I first brushed it off after I touched it to my pad each time, this helps ensure no harsh lines. Once that was done I took a clean paper towel and burnished off any ink from the embossing, this cleaned up that area and made it shine!


    For this card, I used the same Distress Inks but just stamped the inked images directly onto my cardstock. YUP, if you didn’t know, you can stamp using Distress Inks! That was all there was, easy peasy!


    Where the other cards were stamped onto Neenah Solar White Cardstock, I stamped the Distress Inks directly onto Watercolor Paper, this time. Arches Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper to be exact. Just like the card before this, I stamped my Distress Ink directly onto the paper. Once my stamping was done I took a wet paintbrush and just carefully ran it over the inked portions of the card.

    I adhered my card front to the base using EK Tools Adhesive Foam Strips, the added bulk provided just the extra finishing touch these CAS cards needed!

    I used the same stamps, the same set up on my stamping platform, the same dies, and the same inks to achieve 3 different looks. Isn’t it remarkable how flexible our crafting products are? I think that is one of the reasons why I just ADORE paper crafting so much!
