Happy Father's Day

 

Hello all! I'm up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today with a mini slimline card featuring lots of new goodies from the new release! Since Father's Day is coming up soon I decided to make a card using some of the fun beachy elements from the new Summer Fun Essentials Dies.  I'm in love with those cute flip flops and for this card I cut them out of burlap to give them a more rugged masculine look. I also used distressed a couple of starfish to match the theme!

I also used the brand new Lumber Yard Slimline Paper Pad for the first layer on my card base and then I cut another layer out of cream colored card stock using the largest die from the 

MINI Slimline Zig Zag Dies.

And now for the star of the show, the Happy Father's Day Word Dies With Shadow! I just love how the addition of the shadow layer behind the words really makes the sentiment stand out! I used the Lumber Yard Slimline Paper Pad for the shadow layer behind the card. To add some extra interest to the card I added some Espresso Pearl Mix because why not?!

Here's one more look at today's card with all of the supplies used.

Say Cheese!

Hello crafty friends, today I am up on the  Kat Scrappiness blog with another adorable quokka card for you! I used the selfie loving quokka stamp from the Quokka'n Up stamp set to make this mini slimline card.

I just love how this little guy is taking a selfie with his selfie stick! I placed him in the polaroid frame stamp from the Quokka'n Up stamp set and the "Say Cheese" sentiment is from that set as well.

I am loving the size of the mini slimline cards and  Kat Scrappiness has a great assortment of mini slimline dies. There are some new styles coming to the shop in mid April so make sure you join the Kat Scrappiness Insiders group on Facebook to stay alerted to new product releases, sales and coupons!

Fort this card I used the Mini Slimline Wonky Stitched Dies and I layered a fun piece of patterned paper on top of it to match my polaroid frame.

I also added an extra sentiment to the bottom of the card from the Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set. I thought it went well with the Say Cheese sentiment.

To add a little more interest to my card I added some fun confetti sprinkles in 3 different colors to match my patterned paper.

Lime Green Confetti Sprinkles

Bright Yellow Confetti Sprinkles

Light Blue Confetti Sprinkles

I love to pour out my sprinkles into Kat's Triangle Embellishment (Sorting) Trays to make them easy to pick up and apply to my cards. There is also an awesome Embellishment Organizer that can hold up to 64 different embellishments. It's a great way to organize your sequins, confetti and sprinkles all in one place and to see them at a glance!

Here's a look at all of the supplies I used on my card today.

A Quokkka for Every Card

 

The Quokka has been nicknamed the world's happiest animal!

They are marsupials and just like a kangaroo, they can carry their baby Joeys in their pouch.

You can find these adorable little chipmunk lookalikes in Australia on Rottnest Island!

They are said to be so friendly that you could even take a selfie with them!

Kat Scrappiness has 3 different stamp sets featuring the adorable Quokka!

Quokka'n Up

Valentine Quokka

and the newest addition is 

Everyday Quokka

I have a fun card to share today that features a few fun products from Kat Scrappiness!

The Everyday Quokka set is so versatile because it comes with so many accessory stamps to dress up your Quokka with! Here's a look at the stamp set:

I created a mini slimline card using the Everyday Quokka stamp set and I used the birthday cake stamp to make a birthday card. Depending on what your Quokka is holding you can make birthday cards, holiday cards, baby cards and the list goes on and on!

 

I started with a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest white cardstock and cut out a panel using the largest die from the Mini Slimline Double Stitched Dies. After I cut out the panel I embossed it with a paw print embossing folder. 

*Cardmaking Tip*

Make sure you cut your panel out with the slimline die before you emboss it so you don't flatten the embossed pattern in the die cut machine.

**ask me how I know** 

😂 😂😂

I matted the embossed panel on to a piece of brown cardstock and then on to a mini slimline base.

I just love the  CZ Happy Birthday die from Simon Says Stamp, it's a Cathy Zielske original.

I love this die because it comes with 2 dies, one being a shadow layer to matte the words on.

Look how cute this little guy looks holding his cake! You just can't be sad if you're holding cake!

🍰 🍰  🍰 

In hindsight I wish I cut his hands out so you could see him holding the cake but he's still 

cute nonetheless right?

I hope you enjoyed my cute little Quokka card today and make sure to head to the Kat Scrappiness store today and check out the entire new February release! There are lots of new dies and an endless amount of sprinkles and sequins to choose from! 

Have a great day, I already am!

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!
