Happy Halloween

Happy Wednesday everyone. It’s Caren here on the blog today. I’m not sure why but I love making Halloween cards (I think it’s the colors.) I have a fun Halloween card for you today using lots of Kat Scrappiness products!

Here is how I created the card:

For the frame, I die cut a piece of pattern paper from the Creepy & Kooky patterned paper using the stitched rectangle die and the double stitched rectangle dies
To create the background panel, I used white card stock, orange distress inks, and the Falling Stars stencil
I die cut the large bat, moon, pumpkin, and fence from the Crafters Essential Halloween die set from white card stock and inked blended them using various distress oxide inks
I die cut from white card stock the Slimline Grass Border die and ink blended it with distress oxide ink
I adhered all to a card base
I stamped Happy Halloween from the Toil & Trouble stamp set
To finish the card, I added a couple of small bats from the Groovy Ghouls sprinkles

Spooky Cat

Hello Crafters,

Halloween will be here before we know it. I am sure everyone will want to send out cards to their special people in their life. Today’s card is quick and fun to create.

I started with a traditional black cat. This cat is a three layered stamp from the Kat Scrappiness Stamp set called Toil & Trouble Stamp and die. Using three shades of gray I stamped the cat. Used green to stamp the eyes then die cut it out.

To create the background I used a Kat Scrappiness A-2 piece of acetate as my palette. On this acetate I dabbed Tim Holtz Distressed oxide in mowed lawn, peeled paint and forest moss. Then water is spritzed onto the ink. The layer one piece of water color paper is then pressed onto the inks. Dabbing the ink onto the paper to create the background. This is done to the liking of the creator of the card.

Using Kat Scrappiness Never Ending Circle dies cut out a circle/ring for the cat to be framed. Stamp the sentiment from the Toil & Trouble Stamp set in black. Adhere the circle over the inked background and center the cat in it. Add a few sequins from the Kat Scrappiness Black Tie sequin mix and the card is complete.

Cards can be simple and still be beautiful.

Spooktacular Card Featuring Fall Crafters Essentials

Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here today. Kat Scrappiness started a collection called Crafters Essentials which features must have dies in one collection. This month there is the Fall Crafters Essentials which not only makes fabulous Fall Cards but Halloween Cards as well. Today’s card I used it as a super fun Spooktacular Card. Below are the steps to replicate this 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 horizontal side fold card.

Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”. Using an ink applicator apply Distress Oxide Inks to create an Eerie Background. I started with a small circle with Spiced Marmalade, then Barn Door and worked my way out to Dusty Concord, Wilted Violet and Black Soot. I sprayed the background using Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spritz to add some sparkle and shine. Let it completely dry before moving into the next step.

Step 3 – Diecut Fall Crafters Essentials using Black Cardstock. I Diecut the bat 3 times, the fence 2 times and the tree. Adhere to card front using Collage Medium.

Step 4 – Stamp Toil and Trouble Stamp Set sentiment Boo using Versamark. Sprinkle Silver Embossing Powder, remove the excess powder and heat set it with a heat tool.

Step 5 – For added interest and sparkle using a Crystal Katana apply Purple Jewels with Collage Medium.

I hope you enjoyed this fun way to use the Fall Crafters Essentials dies. You can change it up and make it into a Fall card by changing the colors and sentiment.

Halloween Cards – Toil & Trouble

Hi everyone. Today I’m showcasing the Toil & Trouble stamp and die set from Kat Scrappiness. I’ve created two Halloween cards using the layered cat and skull from this set. I usually liking make cute Halloween cards, so using “creepy” images was a change for me. I love the way these two cards turned out, and they are too creepy!!

For my first card, I stamped the cat with three shades of gray ink and then used black versafine ink for the eyes on white card stock. I die cut it out with the coordinating cat die. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a Kat Scrappiness stitched flag die. I found some great striped black, orange, silver, and white paper in my stash for the backdrop for my card. I used the double stitched circle dies from Kat Scrappiness to cut a stitched circle out of orange card stock. I adhered the cat to the circle with foam tape and added some black jewels below the cat. I also used foam adhesive for the stitched banner die and added two orange jewels.

For my second card, I stamped the skull using the same three shades of gray ink on some light gray card stock. I then used the coordinating die to cut each of them out. I adhered them to my card with foam tape. I die cut the word boo four times using the condensed lowercase alphabet dies from Kat Scrappiness out of black card stock. I glued the four together to give it some dimension. I stamped the happy halloween sentiment also from the Toil & Trouble stamp set with versafine black ink on gray card stock and adhered that on top of the boo letters.

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!
