Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

| marialrussell

Hello and Happy Memorial Day weekend, my friends! I have a cute summer-theme card for you today featuring Kat Scrappiness, Inc. products.

For today’s post, I am showcasing the Summer Quokka Stamp Set, along with Scene Builder Stencil, A2 Stitched Wave Dies, Tropical Island Getaway Dies and the Wood Grain Frame Cut Die.

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!“.

D.I.Y valentine Banner with Kat Scrappiness

| marialrussell

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:

  • measure the counter and cut the twine.
  • 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:

From Meow to You with Kat Scrappiness

| marialrussell

I am currently in the process of moving to another destination overseas with hubby, so this project was made awhile back. I wanted to share this today since this card is super adorable, and features new products from the latest release by Kat Scrappiness, Inc.

Here’s how I made this card:

  • prepare the background panel by ink-blending some Bristol Smooth white card stock with Distress Oxide inks.
  • use some Distress Sprayer to spray some water on the background. Pick up the excess water using some paper towel.
  • use the Stitched Nesting Hexagon Die to die-cut the window.
  • use some washi tape to temporarily adhere the Ball of Yarn Stencil to the ink-blended panel.
  • for added texture, apply some white deco-foil gel with a palette knife and gently lift the stencil. Leave this panel to dry for about half an hour.
  • adhere the background on some A2-size notecard.
  • die-cut the frame by using two of the Stitched Nesting Hexagon Dies on some white glitter card stock.
  • foam-mount the frame for added dimension.
  • adhere the hexagon die-cut on the window.
  • finish the design by stamping the sentiment onto the card using the Pawsome Cats Sentiments Stamp Set with some Versafine Onyx Black Ink and adhere some red heart for some fun texture.

Hello everyone! I have been creating a lot of birthday cards lately and so I wanted to try this this technique inspired by Jennifer McGuire’s YT video tutorial, showcasing the Birthday Essentials die set with the Happy Birthday sentiment die with shadow by Kat Scrappiness

Here’s how I made the card:

  • Die-cut the candles from the Birthday Essentials die set on different color of card stock.
  • Assemble the candles using liquid glue.
  • Dry-emboss an A2-size panel using an embossing folder from your stash.  Adhere this panel on an A2-size notecard.
  • Prepare the pop-up feature by following Jennifer McGuire’s tutorial, cutting some white card stock measuring 4 1/4 x 5.  Score the card stock at 3/4, 1 3/4. 3 1/4 and 4 1/4.  Adhere this panel on the front of the card.
  • Adhere the candles on the pop-up panel with liquid glue.
  • Use white gel pen to draw some starbursts to the candle’s flame for added texture.
  • Die-cut the sentiment using the Happy Birthday Sentiment Die with Shadow on some white and black card stock.  Adhere this on the card with liquid glue.
  • Finish the card design by adding the stars to the background.

I hope you like my card today.  The supplies I used are listed and linked below.  Thanks for stopping by and have an amazing day!
