Silent Night!
Hi friends! Creative Crew Kim, here with you today, and I am so excited to share a card I made using some of the amazing products from the latest release! I am a huge fan of the beauty in nature, and I feel that this card represents that so well!

Here is how I made this card!
1. I die-cut a panel for my card front using the Birch Tree w/Cardinal Backdrop Die.
2. I added a shimmery white embossing paste to the die-cut panel, and I love the effect that it gave. I then set it aside to dry completely.
3. When the panel was dry, I adhered it to a white card base.
4. I die-cut the cardinals from a deep red cardstock and adhered them to the branches.
5. I die-cut one of the deer from the Reindeer Duo Dies from dark brown card stock and adhered it to the front of the card.
6. I used a sentiment from the Simple Sentiments Stamp & Die Bundle and backed it on holographic cardstock.
7. I tied a loopy bow from iridescent embroidery floss and added it behind the sentiment panel and then popped the panel up on foam dots.
8. Lastly, I pulled out some of the snowflake sequins from the Glistening Christmas Tree Sequin Mix and added them to the card front.
I hope that you love this card as much as I do! It was so incredibly much fun to create, and was really quite easy, as the dies did all of the hard work!

Christmas/Winter from Cincinnati

Friends,

Creating today with the Kat Scrappiness slim line dies. For those who do not know, Cincinnati is usually bleak and gray most of the winter and is known as the city on seven hills.

I started with a layer one for a standard slim line card (3.5×8.5 inches) I ink blended the sky on gray card stock and stamped clouds and birds onto it. Next I die cut the slim line Mountain Scape and slim line Holiday Village out of more shades of gray card stock.

I added yellow paper behind the window cutouts. I assembled the pieces to make the scene. I embossed the sentiment in white on black and added it to the card. A few sequins for sparkle were added. Finally I attached this layer to the black slim line card base.

Supplies:

KS – mountain scape slim line dies

Holiday Village slim line die

Sequins

White embossing powder

Walk in the Woods

Friends, today we are making a fallish/winter slim line card using the great newly released Kat Scrappiness slim line dies. I started with a piece of A Cozy Christmas slimline paper for the background. It was cut to 3.5 in. X 8.5 in. Next I used the Forrest For the Trees slim line die and cut it out of white card stock. I used the same die and cut it again out of silver paper to create a frame in a different color. I cut the trees out of the silver die cut leaving only the frame. The frame was then glued over the white frame. This piece was then attached to the background paper. Then I cut a black piece of paper slightly larger to create the tiny frame around the silver frame.

I decided to add the squirrels and nuts from the Lawn Fawn Let’s Go Nuts Stamp Set. Lawn Fawn is sold on the Kat Scrappiness web site. Using a gray Copic marker I added shadow to the snow around the squirrels and wagon.

I finished off the card by Embossing the sentiment and adding a few sequins also available at Kat Scrappiness. I did use foam tape to bump up the sentiment and one squirrel.

“New Year Wishes” | Winter Shaker Card

Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I have a “New Years” card showcasing the “Winter Wonderland Shaker Card Kit” from Kat Scrappiness. On my last blog post, I used 4 of these “Shaker Card Kits” kits to create Christmas tree ornaments. Today I have a card with the shaker element adhered to the front of an A2-sized card. Let’s get started!

To create the background scene for this card, I got out my “Distress Crayons.” I have to admit that I’ve never use these because I was never sure what to do with them. But after seeing a video from Justine Hovey, I got brave and took them out. I loved them! Using the “Evergreens” stencil from Newton’s Nook, I “colored” a backdrop on watercolor card stock that I think looks a tad “impressionistic.” LOL!

Next I painted the front of the shaker frame with white acrylic paint, let it dry, and then adhered a piece of Crafters Companion “Luxury Snowfall Acetate” on the back in lieu of the plain acetate that comes already sized in the kit.

After adhering the foam frame to the background, now it was time to pour in the “Sparkling Wintergreen Mix” from Kat Scrappiness. I love the soft minty green tones in this mix. A perfect compliment to this winter-themed card!

Once I had adhered the painted frame over the filled base, I mounted the finished shaker onto an A2-sized card the I had colored using a bend of green and blue Distress Oxides. I created the custom “New Year Wishes” on my computer and adhered it over the white trees.

Thanks for stopping by! Wishing everyone a “Happy New Year!”

Holidays in Blues and Grays

Hi Everyone, it’s Priscilla here. Today I have two holiday cards with a “not-your-ordinary” color scheme. Blue and gray for the Holidays? Why not? Let’s get started!

For this first card, I used the just-released “Christmas Tree Coverplate” die from Kat Scrappiness. Such a beautiful die and so easy to craft with! I die cut the “Christmas Tree Coverplate” out of steel gray card stock and then backed it with with a new-to-me acetate I got from Kat‘s shop, the Crafter’s Companion “Luxury Snowfall Acetate.” No need to add snow – it’s already printed on the acetate! Perfect for all those upcoming winter cards!

I mounted this top layer over a baby blue card stock layer and then adhered everything to an A2 card base. I layered the “Happy Holidays” die sentiment with blue and white card stock, adhered it to the front, and then added a few Kat Scrappiness “White Snowflake Sprinkles” on the tree. Done, and so easy!

For my second card, I used the “Pine Tree/ Icicle Duo Border Die” from Kat Scrappiness.

This border die is like having two dies in one because when used upright, it cuts out a Pine Tree Border, and when flipped around, it creates an icicle border!

For my card I used the die to create an icicle border, adding it to the top of a evergreen stenciled background. I used the Newton’s Nook Designs “Evergreen Stencil” and white pigment ink over blue-gray card stock to create my wintery backdrop. The white deer and snowy slope are from Kat’s “Crafters Essentials – Winter Dies”, and the silver embossed “warm winter wishes” is from the Lawn Fawn “Winter Scripty Sentiments.” Kat‘s “Sparkling Clear Jewels” completed this card.

Snowman Thank You

Hello and Happy New Year!

The cards I’m sharing today were created to give as thank you cards for Christmas gifts and goodies. I made two different card backgrounds. Both were started by stamping snowflakes from the Honey Bee Stamps “Let It Snow” stamp set. I set them all up on an acrylic block and stamped them onto watercolor paper using Versamark sticky ink. They were then covered with white embossing powder and heat set. I used the Kat Scrappiness Nested Rectangle Embossed Rope Dies to die cut both backgrounds. I love these dies. They add a wonderful stitched detail, and are so unique from others I’ve seen.

The card background above was made using the Clarity Stencil Brushes. These brushes are not only great to use with your craft stencils, but also to brush on color evenly. I brushed on three different colors of Distress Inks, going from dark at the bottom to light at the top. Next, I spritzed the whole background with Shimmer Spritz, let it sit for a few seconds, covered with a paper towel, and blotted up the excess. This not only adds texture by pulling up a little of the pigment, but adds an awesome shimmer over the whole piece.

The second card background above was made by smooshing the Distress Inks directly onto acetate or plastic packaging, spritzing with water and then laying or dragging the acetate onto the watercolor card stock. After I got the desired result with the acetate, I then spritzed again with the Shimmer Spritz and blotted with a paper towel.

Both of the cute snowmen were stamped with the Stampaholic Stamping Tool and Momento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored both with Copic Markers, and fussy cut them with small sharp scissors. The first card’s greeting is from Honey Bee Stamps Hello Gorgeous Words Dies. The second card’s Thank You greeting is from Kat Scrappiness.

Thank you!
