Paper Sweeties May 2020 Look Back Inspiration Day #3

Welcome back to my blog crafty friends!

There will not be a new release this month for Paper Sweeties, instead we will be doing a 

May 2020 Look Back Inspiration! This month we will be focusing on the Sweeties Dolls and Outfits!

We will have a MONTH LONG special:  BUY 3 DOLL AND/OR OUTFIT STAMP SETS GET ONE FREE!  (This sale does NOT include Sweet Cuts dies).  Customer must leave name of FREE set they want in comment section of order form on our website.  NO LIMIT to how many sets you can earn for FREE and you'll get 1 FREE stamp set for every 3 that you pay for.

On my card today I used the apple image from the Planner Series: All Occasions stamp set.

I thought it would be the perfect image for a teacher card.

I used one of the Sweeties Girls Emma on my card and I dressed her

in an outfit from the I'm So Proud of You stamp set.

The World's Greatest Teacher sentiment and pencil are 

also from that same set.

I used the For You tag stamp for the sentiment. 

To make the bow for Emma's hair I used the Happy Fall Y'all stamp set.

As a finishing touch, I took some Licorice seam binding 

and added a bow to the top of the tag.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

I hope you enjoyed the May 2020 Look Back at all of the  Sweeties dolls!

Fall Leaves

Welcome to my blog crafty friends!!  

It's my turn today on the Kat Scrappiness blog and I have 

a sparkly card to share with you!  

The new Fall Crafters Essentials dies has a maple leaf shape in it that I am in love with! 

I'm not usually a fan of fall colors but I do love seeing these 

leaves in a variety of oranges and browns.

I wanted a pile of leaves that look like they just fell off the tree so I got out a variety of glitter paper in brown, orange and gold. The tree die is also from the Fall Crafters Essentials die set and it's perfect for all of your Fall cards and projects.

 I thought the sentiment from Happy Fall Y'all was so appropriate for this card, 

and it's true, you're never too old to play in the leaves!

I finished the card off with some clear jewels scattered around the sentiment for some extra shine!

Make sure to check out and follow the new Kat Scrappiness Fan Group Facebook page if you haven't already! You will find inspiration, sales and lots of other fun activities!

Paper Sweeties October 2018 New Product Release Rewind!

Thanks for joining me on day #3 of the October 2018 *NEW* product release for

Paper Sweeties!

Today is Release Rewind day and I will be sharing 2 cards with you

that combine some previous stamp sets with the 2 new ones!

The first card I'm sharing today is a circle easel card and it was so much fun to make!

It looks a lot harder to make than it actually is and if you search easel cards on YouTube you'll find multiple tutorials that show how to make them.

I used both of the new stamp sets on this first card

Happy Fall Y'all

and

I'm Nuts About You

Here is my first card:

I started by stamping the leaf image from Bee Happy all over the two scalloped circles to give the background some interest and the acorns from I'm Nuts About You were the

perfect size to hold up the easel part of the card.

My favorite part of the card has to be Miss Madison's cute acorn hat.

It just so happens that the top portion of the acorn from I'm Nuts About You

is the perfect size for a hat for Madison!

The beautiful sentiment is from Happy Fall Y'all and

Madison's outfit is from I'm So Proud Of You.

Madison also looks so cute with her little apple basket and cute little

pumpkin from Happy Fall Y'all!

The only thing left to do was add some beautiful Creamsicle Sequins to the card!

My second card for today features the power couple

Madison and Jake!

I spent the entire day knitting an Irish Fisherman Cable Knit sweater for Jake 

and a matching poncho for Madison!

Ok so maybe it was an embossing folder but still it was time consuming!

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

But seriously, how cute are those matching outfits!!!!!

Here is the card I put them on:

I stamped the sentiment from Happy Fall Y'all on to a die cut from the 

Oval Scallop Frames and inked the edges so it would stand out.

I wanted the couple to stand out from the wood background so I backed them with a piece of vellum that I die cut from the Rectangle Scallop Frames set.

The bow in Madison's hair is from the Happy Fall Y'all set as well and I placed a 

Gold Sequin on it and also one on the sentiment tag for a little something extra!

Thank you so much for joining me for the last day of the 

New Product Release over at Paper Sweeties!

I hope you'll hop on over to the rest of the New Release Team's blogs to see all of the 

creative inspiration they have for you!

Paper Sweeties October 2018 New Product Release Party!

                                            

Welcome back to day #2 of the October 2018 New Product Release Party
with Paper Sweeties! Today is the day that you can get your
hands on all the crafty fun we sneak peeked yesterday!

This month there are 2 new Fall themed stamp sets available:

Happy Fall Y'all

AND

I'm Nuts About You

For my 2 cards today I used both stamp sets.  On the first card I used most of the sentiments from the I'm Nuts About You set with the pumpkins from Happy Fall Y'all.  The leaves under the pumpkin were taken from the Bee Happy stamp set.  To get the variegated look on the leaves I used distress inks on some watercolor paper and splattered some black paint on it to give it a more organic look.  After the paint dried I stamped the leaves and cut them out. I colored the pumpkins with Copic markers and popped them up on foam tape over the leaves.  

For some extra added sparkle I added some Gold Sequins around the pumpkins.

I love using sentiments as focal points on cards.

I went very clean and simple with my second card and used the 

little acorn from I'm Nuts About You.

I thought it would be interesting to color the acorns in some 

non traditional acorn colors and make a rainbow pattern with them.

I layered the main panel on some very colorful patterned paper for a 

pop of color in the background.

I also love the fun font of the sentiment.

Come back and visit tomorrow and you'll see another card I made using 

a more traditional color for those sweet acorns!

Thanks for coming by today and taking a look at my cards for the New Product Release, I hope you'll join me tomorrow for the New Product Release Rewind!

Paper Sweeties October 2018 New Product Sneak Peeks!

Welcome to my blog if this is your first time here,
if you've been here before welcome back!

This is my first blog post as a Design Team member for Paper Sweeties and

I'm so excited to share some Sneak Peeks with you!

It's day #1 of the October 2018 *NEW* product release.

There are 2 new stamp sets being released TOMORROW in the shop and they are
full of fun Fall images and sentiments!

I can't wait to show you the cards I've made for the Sneak Peek!

For the first card I used the new stamp set Happy Fall Y'all!

I decided to dress Miss Madison up in the new Fall outfit from the stamp set!
She looks like she's ready for apple bobbing and a visit to the
pumpkin patch in her pretty plaid shawl and matching bow!
This stamp set has the cutest little pumpkin and a sweet basket of apples.
I stamped the basket onto some patterned paper that looked like wood for a more realistic look.
I just love that sweet sentiment in that adorable Paper Sweeties font!
I finished off the card with a pretty little twine bow and some Creamsicle and Gold Sequins for some extra added sparkle. Oh and one more sequin for her hair bow!
Here is a sneak peek of the new stamp set Happy Fall Y'all that will
be available tomorrow to purchase!

For my second card today I used the pumpkin image from Happy Fall Y'all. 

I stamped the pumpkins in a random pattern on kraft card stock and then colored

them in with my Polychromos colored pencils. 

I love the smooth shading you can achieve with these pencils 

and how it looks on kraft colored card stock.

I also used 2 different sized hearts from other stamp 

sets to fill in the blank spaces around the pumpkins.

The larger heart is from the Planner Series: Coffee stamp set and the smaller heart

is from the Sent From My Heart stamp set. I colored in the hearts to match the pumpkins.

For some added interest I used the end of a paintbrush to add 

black and white dots to fill the empty spaces.

I added an orange card base and my card was complete.

I hope you enjoyed both cards for sneak peek day and I hope you'll join me again tomorrow for another sneaky peek at another fabulous stamp set being released!

It's called I'm Nuts About You and

I'll have 2 more cards to share with you using this stamp set!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, don't forget to check back tomorrow for Release Day!

Make sure you visit all of the other New Release Team members blogs to 

see what they have created for the sneak peaks!

Give Thanks Card with Video

Welcome back to my blog. 

Today I'm up on the Kat Scrappiness blog and I have a 

Fall themed card to share with you.

I used one of my favorite techniques on this card and 

I filmed a video to show you the process.

I love to make watercolored backgrounds with Distress Inks and then die cut shapes out of it.  Once the background is colored the way I like it, I splatter some black paint onto it to give it an organic look. For this card I chose some pretty Kelly Purkey feather dies that I've had for a long time. I thought they would go nicely with the theme for this card. 

For this card I used the vase and pumpkin images from the new stamp set called "Happy Fall Y'all". 

I colored the vase with 4 colors of Distress Inks and then I cut the vase out with a die from the 

Stitched Scalloped Oval Dies. The vellum background behind the oval was die cut using the 

Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies. I arranged the feathers behind the scalloped circle and added some yellow and orange jewels around the vase for some added interest.

Finally I stamped the sentiment on to some brown card stock in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white powder.  I didn't like how the sentiment looked after I hand cut it so I used my 

Scan n Cut to cut the sentiment out.

Here is the video showing how I made this card or you can watch it on YouTube.

Thank you so much for joining me today!

Matchbook Pop-Up Gift Card Holders and a Video

Welcome back to my the blog!

I'm here with you today and I have a fun project to share!

Since the holidays are just around the corner and gift cards are
such a popular gift giving idea,

I thought I'd show you a cute way to package them.
I made a matchbook to put them in so that they pop-up when you open them!

I made 4 matchbook gift card holders and decorated them with various 

stamps and dies from the Kat Scrappiness shop.

Here is a look at all 4 of them:

And here is how they look when you open them and the gift card pops up:

Aren't they adorable!

The fun part is that there are so many ways to decorate them and they can be used for any holiday or occasion depending on the paper and embellishments you use.

I also filmed a video to show you how to make your own.

I used 5 different stamp sets on my matchbooks, 3 of which were just released at 

Kat Scrappiness along with many various dies also available in the shop.

In the video I'll show you all of the products used on each matchbook and
I'll go through a quick tutorial on how to make your own!
It's really simple and they come together very quickly once you've made one.
I'll have all of the measurements in the video that you will need.

Heres a link to the video on YouTube.

As always, thank you for joining me today! I hope you'll give one of these matchbooks a try. It will give your gift cards a facelift and you'll have fun making them!
All of the products I used in today's project are listed and linked below.
