Hello my crafty friends. The Xyron DT is teaming up with Wild Whisper all week long. I have 3 very simple cards to share with you today, showcasing the new stamp set by Wild Whisper called Home for the Holidays, as well as the coordinating patterned papers, with adhesives by Xyron. Here are the products I got to play with. Thank you Wild Whisper and Xyron, Inc. for the amazing goodies!
For my first card, I started out by cutting an A2 size white card stock and also die-cut a small rectangle masking paper by Inkadinkado, to mask the middle of my card. I stamped the images onto my card stock with different stamp inks.
I removed the mask, and positioned my stamp onto the card front so that I can stamp the sentiment right in the middle. This technique made the sentiment pop even with the busy background. I adhered the card stock to my card base with my favorite Xyron Mega Runner.
To finish my design, I added glossy accents to the bottle images, and added a few colorful dots.
Here’s my card:
For my second card, I stamped the doily image using versa mark ink on my Sahara Sand card stock. I wanted the background to be subtle. I then stamped the sentiment and the antlers. I colored the antlers with my Copic markers. I finished my design by adding the bow, and the gold stars.
For my third card, I drew a circle on the center of my white card stock, and stamped the stars around the circle to create my wreath. I stamped the antlers and the sentiment using Versafine Onyx black ink. It is a very simple card but I love how it turned out.
I hope you like my projects today. Please visit www.wildwhisperdesigns.com to shop for for your paper crafting supplies. Also visit the Xyron, Inc. Facebook page for more project inspiration. Have an amazing day!

Offer is valid until Friday, December 15th, or while supplies last. This new die set is also available for purchase for $8.99.
For my projects, I chose a very simple (one-layer) fun-stamped background. For the first card, I am showcasing Sentiments of the Season, Stylish Stockings, Special Delivery, Festive Flamingos, Santa Paws Newton and Newton’s Candy Cane stamp set. I wanted to show off these sets by combining them all to add a fun background and create a focal point in the middle of the card. I don’t normally make one-layer cards but I had so much fun creating these.
I used an oval mask using my masking paper by Inkadinkado and applied it onto the center of my card stock. I then stamped my images on Neenah solar white with my memento tuxedo black ink and colored them in with my Copic markers.
To finish my design, I added some pink dots with my Worn Lipstick distress oxide and blending pen and also used my Copic multi-liner 0.5 black pen to add the black dots to fill up the space. I also added some glossy accents to the peppermint candies and the Christmas ornament to make them pop. Here’s the first card:

For the second card, I am showcasing the Naughty or Mice, Cup of Cocoa and Newton’s Candy Cane stamp sets. Here’s the card:

Hello, hello my crafty peeps! I hope you are all having a wonderful day! I am back to share with you my projects, showcasing the limited-edition Chocolate Lover’s card kit by Kat Scrappiness. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS KIT! There are so many possibilities using the supplies included in this kit. Here’s what’s inside, plus the two add-ons, which is the Chocolate Lover’s sentiment stamp set and the Wonky Wavy Stitched Heart Dies.
For my first project, I wanted to create a fun shaker card using the 6 X 6 paper pad by Pebbles and the Mint Sprinkles Sequin mix as my shaker material. I love this color combo. I also included a short video showing you how to stamp the layered chocolate stamp set. It looks so realistic. Here’s the first card:
Here’s the close-up:
Here’s the YouTube video showing you how I stamped the chocolate:
For my second project, I wanted to create a simple, one-layer card, with the chocolate layering stamp set and the Chocolate Lover’s sentiment stamp set. I added the pink and blue dots and finished my design with glossy accents. The card is very simple but I love how it turned out. Here’s the second card:
For my third project, I used the chocolate image again with the “Sweet” script sentiment die included in the kit, as well as the Fancy Scalloped Stitched Border dies. I finished my design by adding the gold twine. Here’s the third card:
For my fourth project, I used the chocolate candy bar stamp set again but this time, I added a wreath die-cut using the Avery Elle Star Frames Elle-Ments Dies and also created a wavy card-front using the Fancy Scalloped Stitched Border Dies. I finished my design by adding the wooden heart embellishments from the kit, coloring it with my Copic marker. Here’s the fourth card:
For my last project today, I wanted to use the stamp set to decorate a giant Hershey’s chocolate candy bar to give as a gift either for Christmas or Valentine’s Day.
I wrapped the candy bar with a plain white typing paper. I used a stamp from my stash to stamp the snowman’s face on the paper, and colored it with my Copic markers. I cut a square and a rectangle black card stock to create the snowman’s hat. I then stamped my sentiment on the hat with versa mark ink, and heat-embossed it with my white embossing powder. I adhered the hat to the snowman. I used my 1/2 inch circle punch to create the buttons for the snowman, and adhered it onto the wrapped candy with my Xyron Mega Tape Runner. To finish my design, I added the red seam binding for the snowman’s scarf, and added the heart embellishment by pebbles, included in the kit. It turned out so cute. You can easily mass-produce this project to give as gifts to teachers, your friendly neighborhood mailman/mailwoman, or anyone else. Here’s my fifth project. Isn’t he cute?
I hope you like all of the projects that I created today and got inspired. The supplies I used are listed and linked below if you are interested. Have a wonderful day!
Hello everyone. This is my second post for the day. Happy Thanksgiving! Kat Scrappiness is also having a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale at the shop so take advantage and place your order using the coupon code XMAS2017 for 15% off.
I stamped my images on Neenah solar white card stock with my memento tuxedo black ink using my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform. I colored my images in with Copic markers. Since I didn’t have the die for the Gerda Steiner stamp set, I fuzzy-cut them with my scissors. I also die-cut the naughty sentiment die on black card stock twice.
I die-cut 4 tags using the stitched scalloped nesting tag dies on white card stock, as well as 4 tags with the Doodblebug Christmas patterned paper. I used the pop-out die to die-cut the window on the patterned paper. I adhered the images first on the white card stock, and then adhered the patterned paper on top. To finish my design, I stamped the sentiment on black card stock for two of the tags with VersaMark ink and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.
Here are my Christmas tags today:
I hope you like my projects. Please visit www.katscrappiness.com to shop for crafting supplies. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Hello my crafty friends. Happy Thanksgiving to those of you celebrating this very special occasion. I am back today to share with you some cards that I made showcasing the new stamp sets by Jessica Lynn Original called You’re Never Too Old to Dream and Miracles Take time.
I started out by stamping all of my images on Neenah solar white card stock using my stamping platform and memento tuxedo black ink. I colored my images in with Copic markers and used my Brother Scan N Cut2 machine to die-cut the images. I also used my Distress Oxide Inks to color my background with my mini ink blending tools.
Here are my cards for the You’re Never Too Old to Dream. I made two:

Here’s what the Stamp set and dies look like:
I stamped my images on smooth white yardstick and colored them in with my Copic markers. I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies. I also die-cut another piece of Bristol smooth white card stock, using the Flags and Frames die. I wanted to create a unique snowy background for my little dog. I used my seedless preserve and piked raspberry distress oxide inks with my mini ink blending tool to create my snowy background. I sprayed it with water using my distress sprayer, and dabbed it with my paper towel. I also die-cut the rest of the elements that I need to create my scene. To finish my design, I used Crystal stickles to add some glitter to the background. I also used some iridescent floral sequins by Kat Scrappiness. Here is my card:
