Starting by inking up a panel of some Bristol smooth white card stock with Distress oxide inks and adhering the same to some A2-size top-folding card base. I cut a strip of patterned paper from the Magical Quokka 6×6 paper pad to add a little contrast to the colorful background.
To showcase the new products, I die-cut the white frame with the Crafter’s Essentials 1 die set with the Wizarding Provisions Craft Dies. I ink-blended the sorting hat with distress oxide ink and adhered the frame with foam-adhesive for added dimension.
Next, I adhered the Magical Quokka Ephemera to the frame and finished the design with the sentiment from the Simple Sentiment Stamp and die set.
I cannot get over how super cute this new release is! I hope you like this project as much as I do. The supplies I used are listed and linked within the context of this blog post. Thanks for stopping by!
I inked up a panel of some Bristol Smooth White card stock using the Scene Builder Stencil and some Distress Oxide inks. I used the Wood Grain Frame Cut Die to die-cut the white frame, along with a few colored card stock that I later on used to die-cut the waves with the A2 Stitched Wave Dies.
Creating the beach scene came together really fast since I’ve already die-cut the frame and the waves. Adhering the frame onto a blue card base using some foam adhesive to give it some dimension, then adding the waves with liquid glue.
I added the sand dune and the palm tree on the card front using the Tropical Island Getaway Dies with foam adhesive to make everything look cohesive. I added the cute Quokka from the Summer Quokka Stamp Set that I previously colored using Copic markers. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment with some black ink. Easy Peasy! Here’s another look:
Is anyone in the mood to go to the beach this weekend?! I hope you celebrate Memorial Day not just being with family, but remembering all the heroes who served our country! After all, this country is the “home of the free, because of the brave!“.

Do you have a HUGE stash of 12×12 patterned paper that you got from a Michael’s sale and running out of ideas to use them all up? How about making a DIY Valentine’s Banner? With a few dies from Kat Scrappiness, Inc. you can make a collection of cute banners to display for any occasion and season.
I always LOVE decorating for Valentine’s Day but sometimes I just don’t have the time to go out and get a few decor. Since I have a lot of craft supplies, I figured I’d make my own banner today.
Here’s how I made this project:
die-cut some patterned paper and plain pink card stock from your stash using the Stitched Scalloped Heart Dies. I did this 6 times. Kat Scrappiness has a lot of Valentine-themed dies so you can choose what you like.
prepare your hot-glue gun and sticks and line them all up together with your twine.
I have a few vase fillers that I purchased from Daiso a few years ago so I figured I’d add them to my project. I adhered the foam hearts first and added the die-cut hearts.
make sure to use a silicone mat underneath so your project doesn’t stick on your table.
adhere the letters “XO” on the pink heart.
use some stickers to adhere on the other die-cuts. As I mentioned we are using our stash so go ahead and add them to your project.
I placed my banner on the kitchen counter and added a few of my favorite decor and candles from Home Goods.
light up the candles and enjoy your work!
Before I go, take advantage of this Valentine’s deal by Kat Scrappiness, Inc. Sale starts today and ends on the 7th. See graphic below for your coupon code:
