Slimline Dies Two Ways

 




Welcome to my blog! Today I have 2 cards for you using some of the newest Slimline Dies from Kat Scrappiness. I used the same Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies on both cards yet they have 2 very different looks to them!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Let's start with the card that uses the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies in the traditional way that you are used to seeing it.




For this card I cut a piece of Bristol Smooth card stock using the largest die from the 
Embossed Edge Nesting Slimline Dies and did some rainbow ink blending with a polka dot stencil.
The black scalloped inner frame was made using the second and third largest dies from the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies. I nested them inside each other and sent them through my die cut machine together together at the same time and the result was that cool scalloped black frame that I adhered to the inside of the polka dot panel.
For the sentiment I used the Condensed Uppercase Alpha Dies and the Condensed Number Dies to cut out HB2U in glitter paper which is short for "Happy Birthday to You". I popped the letters and number up on foam tape for some dimension. To finish off the card I added some fun and colorful 
Party Confetti Sprinkles to mimic the fun polka dots in the background.

I took the entire panel and matted it on to black card stock and then adhered all of that to a side opening slimline card base measuring 8 1/2" x 3 1/2".



The brand new Triangle Embellishment Trays and
Embellishment Pick Up Tool are super helpful when picking up and adhering embellishments to my cards.




---------------------------------------------------------------

 For my second card today I also used the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies but in a less traditional way. 



I began by using the largest die and cutting out a piece of Bristol Smooth card stock so I could do some ink blending. After I cut out the paper, instead of using it as a traditional slimline panel, I folded it in half to make a notecard.



These dies are the perfect size when folded to make the cutest little notecards!
Once it was folded I did some ink blending using Distress Oxide inks and then some stenciling in the same colors.



I just love the way this panel came out. These 3 colors blended together so well!
For the main focal point on my card I stamped and Copic colored the adorable little giraffe from the 
Lola the Giraffe Stamp Set. She cut out perfectly on my Scan n Cut but she could be easily hand cut as well. Before I adhered that cute little giraffe down with foam tape I stamped the sentiment in black ink on the bottom of the card. That beautiful "Thank You" is from the Friendship Greetings Stamp Set and looks lovely on any card! After I had Lola down and the sentiment stamped I added a few random sequins from the Aww-tumn Sequins Remixed and Fall Blessings embellishment sequin packs.



Pictured above are the brand new Triangle Embellishment Trays and
Embellishment Pick Up Tool and I love using them when I have to place sequins or sprinkles on my cards.



Here is one more look at both cards photographed with all of the supplies I used on them.





Thanks for stopping by today! I hope I gave you some new ideas for using your slimline dies in a not so traditional way. The sky is the limit with your imagination and creativity!
Here is a complete list of Kat Scrappiness products used on both of my cards including links.






Have a great day, I already am!

Paper Sweeties September 2020 New Release Rewind!

  


 
Hello crafty friends — welcome to day #3 of the September 2020 *NEW* Release Rewind at Paper Sweeties!

This month there is a new stamp and die set called 
With Heartfelt Thoughts and it has some sweet sentiments for
cards such as thank you, condolences, sympathy and inspirational themes as well.


Here is my card using the new stamps and flower dies from this beautiful set.





For this card I stamped the back side of the flower stamp in pretty rainbow colors and then turned the stamp to the right side and stamped in black. I learned this technique a while ago and it was perfect for these floral stamps.  The sentiment is from the Love You To Pieces stamp set and the assorted sequins gave just the right shine to the flower centers.

Make sure to check out the rest of the DT to see what they have created with this new set.

Fur Baby Love




Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I am up on the Kat Scrappiness blog and I have a card for all you animal lovers out there! If you haven't noticed slimline dies are all the rage right now and Kat Scrappiness is now carrying a wide variety of slimline dies with some very unique styles! I used 2 of the newest slimline dies for my card. 

I started out with a card base of 8 1/2"x 7" and scored it 3 1/2". The next layer is the largest die from the Stitched Scalloped Nesting Slimline Dies and it is cut from kraft card stock. The top layer is cut from white card stock using the 2nd largest die from the Embossed Edge Nesting Slimline Dies.

For the main focal point on my card I used the word dies and the pawprint die from the Pet Sentiments Dies. I filled the pawprints with some patterned paper I made myself using a stencil from Taylored Expressions. The sentiment is from a My Creative Time stamp set.

To finish off my card I added these 3 fun sprinkles around the words and the pawprints:



I'm really happy with how this card came out and I just love the 
paw prints in the WOOF and MEOW dies!

Here is one more picture with all of the fabulous  Kat Scrappiness products I used on my card:

Living La Vida Mocha!

 


Good morning fellow caffeine addicts! 
I am up on The Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today and I have a 
quick and simple card to share with you!

The Caffeinated line of critters at The Rabbit Hole Designs have so much character they just speak for themselves and don't require a lot of fanfare.
Today I created a clean and simple card using the Caffeinated Bee. The bee is definitely my favorite caffeinated critter of all of them! If you haven't checked out The Rabbit Hole Designs yet, it might be time for a visit!



Here's the quick and easy recipe for my card:

1) Cut out a panel of Bristol Smooth card stock using the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Zig Zag dies from Kat Scrappiness and sponge on a circle of Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink in a loose circle near the bottom right of the card.

2) Run panel through a beehive style embossing folder for some added texture

3) Add embossed panel to a teal colored card base. I chose one to match the Peacock Feathers ink.

4) Stamp the Caffeinated Bee using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on to some Copic friendly paper and color using Copic markers. Stamp your sentiment under the bee.  I used a sentiment from The Rabbit Hole Designs Perfectly Blended stamp set.

5) Cut bee and sentiment out using a die from the Kat Scrappiness Zig Zag Circle Dies and pop it up on foam tape on your embossed panel.

That's it, easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Sometimes I love making a quick and easy card that packs a lot of punch!
Here's one more pic with the supplies used.


Thanks so much for joining me today!
Have a great day, I already am!
