Medallion Coverplate Card

Happy Tuesday crafty friends!

I'm up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today and
I've got a new card to share with you!

Today is a special day on the blog because it is day 1 of of the New Releases

and not only is Kat releasing some fabulous new dies

but there is a GIVEAWAY as well!

The newest die in the collection being released today is called the

Medallion Coverplate!

This intricate die will quickly become a favorite of yours and I've

done some watercoloring with gold accents using this new die.

Here is the card I made and I will walk you through the process I used to make it.

Step 1:  First I took Salty Ocean and Lucky Clover Distress Ink and I "smooshed" them

down onto my Tim Holtz glass media mat and then sprayed them with water.

 Next I cut a piece of watercolor paper down just slightly larger than the

Medallion Coverplate die and laid it into the ink, moving it around to

spread the ink all over the paper.  I dried it with my heat gun and 

then pressed it down again into the ink to cover the paper.

Step 2: Once I was happy with the background pattern I did some ink splattering 

with the Gansai Tambi Starry Colors in gold all over the background with a 

large fan brush. It added a really nice shine to the panel!

Step 3: When the entire panel was dry I took it over to my die cut machine and 

used the Medallion Coverplate die to cut it out. 

Step 4: Because the die is so intricate I used Elmer's spray adhesive to mist 

the back of the panel so I could adhere it to my card front. This technique

works very well on dies with lots of intricate cuts.

Step 5: Now that the panel was done and adhered to the card, the final step

was to stamp the sentiment.  I stamped an older Happy Birthday stamp from 

my stash on to some vellum with Delicata Gold Ink and heat embossed it with 

WOW Metallic Gold Sparkle Embossing Powder. Once it was dry

I cut out the sentiment with the smallest die from the Double Stitched Circles Dies.

Step 6: I added the vellum circle to the middle of the Medallion Coverplate panel 

with some liquid adhesive making sure to only get the glue behind the letters so

it wouldn't show through.

I really love how the watercoloring came out so randomly all over the coverplate and the

gold paint gives it a very elegant look!

I hope you enjoyed seeing the process I took to make this card!

Cheat Day Shaker Card

Good morning crafty friends!

It's my turn on the Kat Scrappiness blog today and I have a fun circle shaker card to share 

with you!  There are some super fun new Sprinkle confetti mixes in the store 

now and they inspired this card.  

Specifically the Birthday Cake Sprinkles Embellishment Mix!

They should probably come with a warning label that says:

DO NOT EAT!!!

Seriously though, they look exactly like the sprinkles you would
order in your favorite ice cream store!

For my card I cut 2 circles out of patterned paper using the Double Stitched Circle Dies.
I cut a window out of one of them using the same dies. I backed the window with acetate
and framed the circle opening with foam tape. After I made my well to add my shaker bits
I added lots and lots and lots of Birthday Cake Sprinkles Embellishment Mix and 

Fairy Dust Confetti Sequins.  The two complimented each other so well!
For the front of the card I colored some ice cream and donut images from the

Punny Snacks Stamp Set and I added a sentiment from the Cheat Day Stamp Set !

Such a fun card to make!
Make sure you check out all of the new sequins in the shop right now,
there is Chocolate Cake Sprinkles as well!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
I hope you enjoyed my shaker card today and if you'd like to purchase any of the products

Mini Treat Bags

Hello again crafty friends!  I'm back today on the Kat Scrappiness blog to bring you another cute project!  I made 3 adorable mini treat bags using the Stitched Heart Tag die and I decorated them with the Stitched Flag dies and the Double Stitched Circle dies.  I have a video for you today to show how I assembled the bags and it's super easy to follow.  I have to thank my fellow Kat Scrappiness design team member Maria Russell for the fabulous idea to make the bag.  She did a video a while back showing the process and I remade the bags using some current stamps and dies.  

This is the bag I assembled in my video and I used a sentiment from the Punny Snacks stamp set.  

The pretty patterned paper is from the Lawn Fawn paper pack, Gotta Have Gingham .  I started with 2 die cut panels from the larger die in the Stitch Heart Tag dies. I then cut a coordinating piece of paper to 11 7/8" x 2" to attach the 2 die cut panels together.  Next you will score your paper on the 11 7/8" side at 4" and 7 7/8" and then you will score the paper 1/4" in from both sides on the 2" side.

After you score your strip fold on all the score lines and make 

4 snips where the score lines meet each other.

The next step is to place some strong double sided adhesive along the middle sections to 

adhere the 2 heart tags.

Next you want to apply some additional double sided tape to the remaining scored flaps and assemble the box accordingly.

The video will show the assembly process step by step.  The only thing left to do is decorate the front of the box and fill it with pretty tissue paper and treats!

I die cut several Stitched Flag dies from some more gingham paper and arranged them around one of the Double Stitched Circle dies.  I stamped a sentiment from the Punny Snacks stamp set on to a scalloped circle and adhered it to the circle on some foam tape.  

I made the same box with some different patterned paper but essentially followed the same steps.

I also created the same bag a third time for the Coffee Lovers Bloghop that Kat Scrappiness is a super sponsor for.  I used the Layered Coffee Cup die and the "Got Coffee" sentiment die for the front of the bag and I finished it off with a sentiment from the Technique Tuesday stamp set "Sassy Coffee"

I stamped the sentiment on to a Stitched Flag die and finished off the front panel with some paint splatters of Ground Espresso distress ink.

These treat bags are super fun to make and they are very quick and easy to assemble.  They would make great party favors for a kids party or even elegant favors for a wedding or anniversary party.  

Here is a link to the YouTube video showing how to assemble these cute bags.

Thanks for joining me today!  All supplies used are linked below.  

I hope you'll give this technique a try!
