Mini Slimline Dies with a Heart Shaker

While most crafters love making Christmas cards, I actually love the crafty season that follows next!
Valentine's Day is my favorite crafty holiday! I've always loved hearts and pink and girly things ever since I was a little girl! The recent release at Kat Scrappiness brought with it the most awesome Mini Slimline Dies you've ever seen! There are so many different varieties which means there is something for everyone! My favorite of all of them is the Mini Stitched Scalloped Slimline Dies! Those dainty little scallops just make my heart go pitter patter! My second favorite Mini Slimline Die has to be the Mini Slimline Double Stitched Dies because it is the perfect layering dies for ALL the minis!

I used both of my favorite minis today for my shaker card.

For the shaker element on my card I used 2 different heart dies. The first is the Stitched Scalloped Heart Dies and the second is the Layering Nested Heart Dies. To make the shaker window I took the largest Stitched Scalloped Heart and I cut the middle out of it with the second largest Layered Heart Die. Once I had the scalloped frame I adhered a piece of acetate to that back of it that I cut out using one of the Layered Heart Dies.

The next step was to add foam tape to the back of the frame. A tip to help you mold foam tape around a specific shape easier is to remove the backing tape before you start to adhere it. Once I had the entire frame lined with foam tape it was time to pick out the fun shaker bits to go inside the window.
The back of the shaker heart is the largest Stitched Scalloped Heart cut out and left whole.

For my Valentine's themed card I chose the adorable Cupid's Arrow Sequin Mix and I stamped my Happy Valentine's Day sentiment from the Valentine Quokka stamp set. I also used the beautiful Pink Heart Droplets around my sentiment in the 4mm and 6mm sizes.

This card was so much fun to make and probably because I used so many of my favorite Kat Scrappiness products! Head on over to the shop and check out all of the new Mini Slimline Dies, the new Quokka stamp set and the hundreds of adorable sequins and sprinkles!

Here is one more look at my card with all of the supplies used.

In addition to all of this Valentine goodness Kat Scrappiness has just released some more awesome new Valentine dies and they are ADORABLE!! They make shaker cards so easy and one of them even has peekaboo flaps! You can check them all out here!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! If you love any of these products as much as I do than it would make me so happy if you clicked on any of my affiliate links throughout the post to purchase them and add them to your crafty collection!

Have a great day, I already am!

DIY Stencils with the Kat Scrappiness Heart Panel Die and a Video

Since I got the Heart Panel Die from Kat Scrappiness, I've been thinking that it would make an awesome stencil. After some internet browsing I found out that you can buy full size acetate sheets just to make your own stencils! GENIUS!! I found this listing on Amazon for 12x12 stencil sheets:

12 pcs 7 mil Blank Stencil Sheets, 12x12 inch Mylar Template Stencil Material

I only paid 7.99 for this item but at the time I am writing this post the price is listed as $9.69.

Still a good price since it comes out to $1.23 per sheet and you can get 4 stencils from 1 sheet by cutting each sheet into four 6x6 individual sheets.

That's roughly 30 cents a stencil! You can't beat it. Now you can make your dies do double duty. It's like getting 2 products in one! These sheets cut very easy in my die cut machine and I can't wait to cut some more!

Here is the card I made after I used my homemade stencil with the Heart Panel Die.

I used the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment from the Kat Scrappiness Say It With Hearts stamp set and I stamped it on to one of the dies from the Stitched Sentiment Strips.

What a fun technique and it's amazing how many possibilities there are just with the cover dies alone from Kat Scrappiness! Check out the patterns in these cover dies,

I bet they would make gorgeous stencils!

Medallion Coverplate

Star Fusion Coverplate

Fancy Floral Coverplate

Peacock Backdrop Die

I have a video showing the process of making the stencil and the card.

You can watch it here or on YouTube.

I hope you enjoyed learning about DIY stencils and that you'll give it a try as well!

Have a great day, I already am!

❤️ Kat Scrappiness Valentine's Release ❤️ Day 3

Image result for valentine's day images"

Hello everyone and welcome back to

day 3 of the new Valentine's Day release over at Kat Scrappiness!

Today the DT will be featuring Shaker Kits!

We all have different shaker kits to share with you and they are so much fun!

Did you always want to make a shaker kit but were intimidated? Now you don't have to be!

Kat Scrappiness shaker kits make it SO SUPER EASY to assemble all the parts of the shaker element!

Today I am sharing 2 cards using 2 different shaker kits:

Jar of Hearts Shaker Card Kit

Here is the card I made using the Jar of Hearts Shaker Card Kit

I filled my jar with Candy Kisses Valentine Sequin Mix and 6 mm Mirrored Clear Hearts.

The word "kisses" on the top of the card was cut down from the Snowflake Kisses Brush Script die.

Large Heart Shaker Card Kit

Here is the card I made using the Large Heart Shaker Card Kit

Aside from the Large Heart Shaker Card Kit

I used quite a few other Kat Scrappiness products to make this card:

Say it With Hearts Stamp and Die Set

I Love You Shadow Dies

Yellow Heart Sprinkles

Pink Heart Sprinkles

Sparkling Clear Jewels

Lime Green (Faceted) Resin Hearts

4 mm Blue Heart Droplets

This card was so much fun to make because I love picking out the mix that will fill my shakers! I'm not a great cook but sometimes with shaker cards you feel like you adding in all the ingredients for a great recipe! It makes you feel so creative!

If you'd like to watch a video on how to use these fun shaker card kits you can head over to YouTube and watch Jo from the design team assemble a card using the Intertwined Hearts Shaker Kit.

You can watch Jo assemble the kit and apply those instructions to all of the other kits. The assembly part is basically the same for all of them.
