Tag: wonky wavy stitched rectangle dies

Hip Hip Hooray
Hi everyone, happy Hump Day! I have a fun, clean and simple card for you today.

I used several Kat Scrappiness dies and a couple of sequin/jewel sets to create this card. I die cut “hip” twice using the Condensed Lowercase Alphabet dies from light turquoise card stock. Hooray is from one of the dies released this month – Hooray with Shadow die. I cut this out of a little bit darker turquoise card stock. My yellow star background panel was die cut using the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle dies.

I added my letters and words to the star panel using foam adhesive and adhered the panel to a white card base. To finish the card, I added a few clear sequins and teal jewels.

I love the way this card turned out. I can use this card as a birthday or celebration card. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Holidays
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas Eve everyone! This is my last holiday card and blog post this year. I think I have everything ready for Christmas except the cooking which I plan on doing all day today.

For my card today, I used the several Kat Scrappiness products. I the card by die cutting a piece of turquoise card stock using the largest Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle die. I then used a snowflake stencil and distress ink to ink up the background. I then die cut the Stitched and Layered Snowman die from various card stock and assembled him. I die cut the Happy Holidays three times one from white glitter card stock and twice from white card stock. I then glued the layers together to give the sentiment some dimension.

I adhered my turquoise card stock to a black card base. I adhered the snowman using dimensional adhesive to the card and glued the sentiment onto the card base. To finish the card, I added a few white snowflake sprinkles.

Paw Print Sprinkles Shaker Card
Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans, It’s Lisa here on the blog with you today and I have a fun shaker card using some new Sprinkles that were just released in the shop!

All you need is LOVE and a dog (or a cat)……. and maybe some Paw Print sprinkles!!

Today in the Kat Scrappiness shop there are over 30 new sequins and sprinkles mixes

that were recently released

and they are SUPER CUTE and SUPER COLORFUL and SUPER SPARKLY!!!

You are definitely going to want to check them ALL out!

For my card today I am featuring my favorite one. It’s called Paw Print Sprinkles.

HOW STINKIN’ CUTE ARE THOSE TINY LITTLE PAW PRINTS???

The minute I saw them I knew they needed to be paired with Kat’s Pet Sentiments Die Set!

They are the perfect addition to the paw print die!

Here is the Card Recipe:
- I started with a black A2 card base.
- Next I took the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle Dies and cut out a white layer with the largest die from the set.
- Now I cut out 3 letters from the Large Alphabet Dies (L, V and E) in red card stock. I laid them out on my white panel so I could position the paw print from the Pet Sentiments Die Set where the O in love would be.
- I ran the white panel through my die cut machine and cut out the paw print on a slight angle.
- Once the paw print was cut I backed it with acetate and built foam tape all around it so I could make it into a shaker element.
- I made sure to section off the bottom of the paw print separately from the top 4 holes so I could add 2 different shaker mixes inside the paw print.
- The bottom of the paw got the Paw Print sprinkles and the top 4 holes got the red Heart Sprinkles .
- I applied the shaker panel to the base of the card and added my 3 Large Alphabet Dies and the outline of the paw print in black to the front of the paw print shape.
I am super happy with how this card turned out! I just love those sweet little Paw Print

shaker bits and I love how they look inside the paw print die!

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!

Belated Father’s Day Waffle!
Hi Friends! kel here today to share a fun card for a special somebody!! I gave it to the hubs for Father’s Day last week so I can share it now. =o)

I used a whole bunch of dies on this card, including the brand new Stitched Scallop Circle dies to make my card (I used the 3rd and 4th largest circle dies). I also used the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle dies on my polka-dot layer in the back, and the widest Stitched Fishtail Banner Die to stamp my sentiment on. I was lucky that it worked out that the sentiment fit so perfectly on that die!!

I used the Waffle Lot Stamp Set by Technique Tuesday for this card for the hubs because our middle child has been on a waffle kick recently… We’ve been eating homemade belgian waffles just about weekly!! And for Father’s day, the boys surprised him by making him a Father’s Day breakfast complete with waffles and his favorite breakfast foods! So I thought that this card would have been perfect!!

I just love that the Stitched Scallop Circle dies are nested far apart enough that you can still see the stitching on the bottom layer!! And I fussy cut the hearts out… phew. That’s all I can say about this little things! haha! The sentiment is stamped in this beautifully rich walnut ink and the hearts and waffle were stamped with my trusty Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then hand colored. The Stitched Fishtail Banner, waffle, and hearts are all popped up on some 3D dots/strips for a little extra oomph!!

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon! Don’t forget to take part in our awesome monthly challenge for your chance to win a $25 Gift Card!!

Rainbow Polka Dot Flags Card
Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here today. The new Stitched Flags dies from Kat Scrappiness are so much fun to play with. Once I selected my rainbow colors for my Stitched Flags I created a simple matching rainbow background using the Distress Oxide Inks. My card is also using the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles Die and Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set for the sentiment. Below you will find the easy steps to replicate this card.
- Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold in half for a horizontal side fold card (A2)
- Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. Apply Distress Oxide ink directly to cardstock using a mini blending tool. I applied 5 colors to create a rainbow. The colors I used are Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, Picked Raspberry & Wilted Violet. I sprayed some water to create an oxidized effect. Once dry Diecut Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles to the background.
- Step 3 – Apply anti static powder to the bottom left of the Distress Oxide Ink background. Stamp Everyday Brush Stroke sentiment stamp using Versamark Ink. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder, remove the excess then heat set it with a heat tool. Adhere the background to card using Scor-Tape.
- Step 4 – Diecut Stitched Flags using Polka Dot Patterned Paper in five colors and 3 sizes each color. Adhere the largest Stitched Flag first using Scor-Tape, then middle size and then small size on top. You may want to layer them first before adhering to figure out the placement.

Masculine Cards with Dad’s Tools

Hello again Kat Scrappiness fans!

It’s Lisa here on the blog today to bring you some Father’s Day/Masculine card inspiration. If you’re anything like me, masculine cards can be difficult. I know for me, most of my projects involve the color pink and lots of sparkle and shine. Up until now masculine cards have been a chore because I’m not inspired by the color schemes or the focal points. This month there is a new stamp set in the Kat Scrappiness store that has breathed new life into the masculine card world. Step aside feminine layering stamps because Dad’s Tools are making their debut!

The new Dad’s Tools stamp set at KS gives a fresh new look to dad’s old toolbox. There are 4 different elements in the stamp set to layer and decorate with. There is a hammer, a screwdriver, a nail and a screw and so many fun sentiments to play with.

I found it helpful to swatch some gray and brown colors before I started my card to see what combinations would look best when I started stamping the layers of my tools. I used the heart stamp from the Swatches  stamp set to make this visual tool and it was quite helpful.

With layering stamps you want to start out with your lightest color ink and add progressively darker layers as you go.

For my first card today I decided to recreate a fun toolbox and fill it up with some of Dad’s Tools.



I cut down a standard A2 card base into the shape of a toolbox and gave it a front panel which doubled as a pocket so I could fit the hammer, screwdriver and some nails and screws into it. The white embossed sentiment “Happy Birthday” fit perfectly onto one of the Stitched Fishtail Banner Dies which is also one of the new releases this month in the Kat Scrappiness store.

I layered the sentiment onto a second darker fishtail banner and added the

“Mr. Fix It” sentiment under the banners.

For my second card today I went with a more traditional card and I used only the hammer and screwdriver from Dad’s Tools for the focal point under the sentiment.

I used patterned paper for my first layer and a faux pegboard piece of paper for my second layer. I cut both of those layers out with two different size dies from the Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles dies to give some added interest to the borders. For the focal point of the card I used another one of the new releases this month called Stitched Flags.

The shape of these new dies is so unique and can be used alone or with a sentiment for a fun element on your cards. I stamped the sentiment “Happy Father’s Day” from Dad’s Tools in Versamark ink and white heat embossed it onto one of the Stitched Flags. I mounted the Flag onto some foam tape for some extra added dimension.

Make sure to check out what the other girls on the design team have done this month with the Stitched Flag dies! There is so much talent and creativity, you will definitely want to add these dies to your collection!

Also mark your calendars for National Scrapbooking Day on May 5th!

We will be having some fun giveaways and from May 4th – 6th there will be 20% off sitewide if you use coupon code NSD2018.
