  • Creating a Postcard Beach Scene

    Creating a Postcard Beach Scene

    Hello, everyone! Are you ready for summer?? I got inspired with this fun postcard beach scene. For all the details, make sure to watch the video on the Kat Scrappiness channel.

    Let’s start with some ink blending. I used distress oxide inks in antique linen, tea dye, salty ocean and tumbled glass to create the base of the scene.

    Next, I added depth and interest with copic markers. For the sand, I used E11 and E33. The ocean was highlighted with B24 and B28. Last, I added white gel pen dots.

    Next, I used the postcard die to emboss lines on the panel. Then, I stamped and colored the images from the Summer Gnome stamp set. Last, I added the sentiment and the images.

    Make sure to click through the links below to find the products. Thank you so much for your support! Happy crafting!

  • My Obsessions by Martha Lucia

    My Obsessions by Martha Lucia

    Yes! My obsession is make cards and I am fascinated with the products from the last release! Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with you to share two of my cards with the products recently release and available at Kat Scrappiness Store!

    Summer is not finished but Fall is around the corner…the perfect excuse to make one card for each season! Let me start with the summer card.

    CARD DETAILS:

    To make this card I just applied distress ink over a craft mat and sprayed the ink with water. Then, I took the ink from the mat passing the watercolor paper over it. I let the paper dry naturally. In a while, I stamped the images from the sets Summer Gnome and Summer Gnome Add On onto white card stock and colored the images with Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir. In addition, I fussy cut the images with scissors and the sentiment with a Stitched Strip Sentiment Die.

    I placed the second large size of the Double Stitched Nesting Slimline Dies  over the inked background piece and die cut it with my big shot. I pasted the large piece directly over the card base and the small piece using crafty foam tape.

    Then, I arranged all my pieces with dual tip glue pen and crafty foam tape.

    AFTER COFFEE CARD!

    For my second card, I am using the fabulous Coffee Time Background Die. First, I inked the white layer with four different colors of Distress Ink. Then, I passed the inked layer through the big shot and I took care of remove the layer from the die because I wanted to keep the negative parts of the cups designs that are on the center of the die in the same place. After removed the layer, I secured the cups with washi tape behind.

    I pasted the die cut layer over a brown card base using crafty foam tape. Then, I stamped one of the coffee images included in the stamp set Let’s Get Caffeinated and stamped a white piece of card stock. In addition, I die cut this piece with one of the Embossed Edge Square Dies. To finalize, I created a mat with the next large embossed edge square die.

    GOOD NEWS!

    Now, I want to share with you a new product available at the store! All of us need this, the New Magnetic Die Try by Kat Scrappiness!

    I believe this is fabulous because we can keep our dies in when we are creating at the same time that we save time searching and money keeping the dies secured!

    Thank you for stopping by and keep in touch because very soon Kat Scrappiness Store will be having a new release of products.

  • Summer Cards by Martha Lucia

    Summer Cards by Martha Lucia

    Hi there, Martha Lucia here with you! Today I want to share some summerc cards created with the new die cuts from Kat Scrappiness.

    To make this card I used several of the new products. I started with a white card base and die cut the new Under the Sea Coverplate Die onto marina mist card stock. Then I sponged the medium and lower part of the layer using two different colors of distress blue ink. I pasted it over the white card base using crafty foam tape.

    I die cut one the dolphins included on the Stitched Dolphin Die Set onto metallic silver card stock. Then to embellish the card, I created a ball with a circle die and some Hot Pink Candy Sprinkles. For the sentiment, I used one included on the new stamp set Summer Gnome Add On

     

    The next project is a summer card that I created using images from the new stamp set Summer Gnome. I created a beach scenery with slimline format using the embossed edge nesting slimline dies.

    To color the images, I used Illustrator Markers from Spectrum Noir. Additionally, I fussy cut the images and pasted over the inked layer with crafty foam tape.

    Thank you for stopping by and see you soon with more inspiration!

  • Gnome Worry, Be Happy! Card

    Gnome Worry, Be Happy! Card

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. Today I am excited to share with you the new Gnome Summer Stamp Set from Kat Scrappiness. There is also the Summer Gnome Add on Stamp Set but I didn’t have it in time for this card. Below you will find the steps to create your own Gnome Worry, Be Happy! card.

    Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”, score at 4 1/4” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (A2)

    Step 2 – Place the Cloud Stencil on the card front and add Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass with an applicator to create a cloud sky.

    Step 3 – Diecut Catch A Wave using Blue Cardstock. Optional add some Ink to the edges for definition. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 4 – Trim Kraft Cardstock to 2” x 4 1/4”. Using alcohol markers add speckled in various colours to create texture to the sand. Trim the top in a wavy motion. Adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    Step 5 – Stamp Summer Gnome images using Gina K Amalgam Ink. Colour in using alcohol markers of your choice. I used Spectrum Noir Classique Markers. Fussy cut the images or use your Scan ‘N’ Cut and adhere to card. Some using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive and some with Foam Tape. (I used masking paper to the man Gnome to be able to have him wear the Ducky Inner Tube).

    Step 6 – Stamp Summer Gnome sentiment using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink to the bottom left of the card.

    This card can be used for several occasions by changing the sentiment. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
