Hello crafty friends and welcome back to another monthly challenge over at Angies Digital Stamps! This week I chose to play with this adorable Heart Baby Onesie image from Angies shop. I printed the images out 3 times on some pretty Papertrey Ink Sweet Blush Bitty Big paper and inked the ages after I cut them out. I love how the card has a real vintage feel to it. I used the Edgers 2 die from Papertrey as well for the pretty scalloped border under the onesies. I made the sentiment on my computer and inked the edges as well after I cut it out.
This month is challenge #22 and it runs from 7/1 - 7/27
and the theme is Anything goes.

Hi everyone. I'm playing along this week with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge. This week is anything goes but also to use Wplus9 stamps if you have.
I chose to use 2 stamp sets that I have from Wplus9. They are Paisley Patterns and Fresh Cut Florals. I just adore floral stamps and dies. I stamped a random pattern on my background using the Paisley Patterns stamp set with a variety of different Papertrey Ink colors and then I layered the background with an intricate die from Kat Scrappiness. That frame is called the Wood Grain Framed Wire die and I've been using it a lot lately. It just seems to go with everything!
I made a focal point for my sentiment using 2 more dies from Kat Scrappiness called
Stitched Scalloped Oval and Stitched Fishtail Banners. I heat embossed a partial sentiment from Fresh Cut Florals onto the fishtail banner and adhered it to the scalloped oval. I die cut the word "you" from the Lawn Fawn Quinn's ABC's die set and added it to the oval focal point.
For the last added touch I die cut some flowers from the Fresh Cut Florals and arranged them on the top corner of the oval.
Here is a picture with all of the supplies used.

It's my turn today over on the Kat Scrappiness blog and I've got a fun card to share with you. This month Kat released a great new die called the Wood Grain Framed Diamond Wire and it really is a unique die that can be used in so many different ways. Make sure to check out the other projects by the DT members to see how they have used this fun die.
Today I decided to use the die as an interesting background and a place to showcase my crazy bird and computer generated sentiment.
I started by stamping my Tim Holtz Crazy Bird on to some watercolor paper with
Versafine Onyx black ink and coloring him with 2 colors of distress ink. I rubbed some Squeezed Lemonade and Peacock Feathers on to an acrylic block and I used my water brush to pick up the ink and color my bird. After I was happy with the results I hand cut him out and put him aside to dry.
Next I die cut the Wood Grain Framed Diamond Wire die out of some black cardstock and adhered a piece of black striped patterned paper behind it. I really love the look of the wire die over the striped paper. It adds to the "crazy" look on the birds face.
I glued the wire die with the patterned paper to an A2 sized white card base with some
For this card I wanted to add a sentiment with a crazy font so I generated a sentiment with my computer and hand cut it out. I trimmed down the words into 6 different strips and inked the edges of each strip with some Black Soot distress ink.
The only thing left to do was to pop up my bird and sentiment strips up on some foam tape.

Seriously!!!! Do you know how hard it is to make a one layer card?
Well, at least for me it is! Anyway I love how it turned out despite the lack of embellishments and layers. I used the You Are a Masterpiece stamp set from Papertrey Ink for the butterflies and colored them with Zig Clean Color markers. The sentiment is from a Kat Scrappiness stamp set called Everyday Brush Strokes.
Here is sketch #278
Here is a picture of the supplies used to make my card.
I've missed a few but I wish I joined in weekly. I'll have to work on that!
This week's MIM theme is Inchie Elements and Lexi Daly has made an adorable card using some adorable sea creatures. I decided to use an old set called Honey Bees.
I wanted to make my inchie squares a little fancy so I used some
I started by die cutting a white panel from one of the stitched rectangle dies and stamping the hammer and nails randomly all over in every direction. I made sure to stamp some of the hammers and nails off of the card for a more random look. Once the background was done I die cut the letter D A D out of the panel. The next step was to die cut the same letters out of black paper two more times. I adhered the black letters to each other and made the top layer the letter that was cut from the stamped background. The last step was to cut the letters out one more time from double sided foam tape to pop the letters up on the card. I adhered the stamped panel to a black card base and fit the thick letters back in like a jigsaw puzzle. Because they had black layers under them they appear to have a shadow under them making them stand out. I finished the card with a sentiment from Dad's Tools heat embossed with white on to a stitched flag and popped it up on foam tape.
I love to decorate the inside of my cards with a coordinating stamp and sentiment so I stamped Mr. Fix It on the inside with a hammer and a few nails to finish the card off.
The eclipse card is such a fun technique and you can check out YouTube for a great video showing this technique by my other Kat Scrappiness team member Tina Dornbaum.

Hello crafty friends! It's my turn today on the Kat Scrappiness blog! This months new release includes some great dies that will let your creativity run wild! These are nested dies in 4 different shapes that have scalloped edges with detailed stitching inside. There are rectangles, ovals, squares and circles. For my unicorn card I used the largest Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Die to make a top folding card. I folded my card stock in half and placed the die on top with the top edge of the die off the card and sent it through my die cut machine.
I love this technique because I don't have to add an extra layer to my card but I still get the decorative edge to my top layer. The result is a top folded card with pretty edges and some detailed stitching.
The next step was to cut an oval scalloped circle out of white paper to build my unicorn on.
I used the Magical Unicorn stamp set by Pinkfresh Studio to decorate the oval. I started by prepping my paper with my Inkadinkado Embossing Magic Pad and then I stamped the unicorn horn with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Hero Arts gold embossing powder. I used the matching die to cut out the horn. Next I stamped the eyelashes directly on to the oval in Versamark ink again and I heat embossed it with black sparkle embossing powder. It is important to prep your paper with the embossing magic pad before using black embossing powder so that you don't have any stray powder on the white paper. Once the powder is melted you can't erase that stray powder. After stamping and embossing those pretty eyelashes I had to give my unicorn some pretty blush and eye shadow. For the blush I used Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink and a Spectrum Noir Sparkle Marker together. I smooshed some Worn Lipstick on to some acetate and then I mixed it with the Spectrum Noir Marker and used a dauber to sponge on some cheeks. I repeated the same process with some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink for the eye shadow and I applied it with a thin paint brush.
For some extra special sparkle I stamped the star stamp from the Magical Unicorn set in Gold Delicata ink next to the eyelashes.
After the makeup was done I worked on the headband. I used the matching dies from the Magical Unicorn set to cut out some pretty pink flowers and I used the Lawn Fawn Flamingo Together stamp set to add some pretty green foliage to the headband. To add some shine I die cut a gold glittered swirl border die and tucked it under the largest flower.
For a final shiny touch I added 3 Sparkling Clear Solid Confetti pieces to the middle flower.
I clear embossed the sentiment after I stamped it in Versamark ink to make it shine.
I popped up the oval on foam tape to a light green card base and the card was done. I just love all the sparkle and shine on this card.

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.
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.

If you use coupon code ILOVECOFFEE between 5/25 and 6/1 you will receive 10% off your order in the Kat Scrappiness shop.
I had fun with these 2 dies and I created 1 gift bag and 3 cards with them.
The first project is the mini gift bag that I assembled using the
Kat Scrappiness Stitched Heart Tags Die. Thank you to Maria Russell for making a video showing how to make a mini gift bag from these dies. I decorated the front of the card using the 2 coffee dies
and splattered the aqua heart tag with some Ground Espresso Distress Ink. The stamped sentiment is from Technique Tuesday's Sassy Coffee stamp set and it is stamped onto a Stitched Flag Die that is new in the KS shop this month.
The next 2 cards feature the Layered Coffee Cup Die again with some fun colorful effects! The first card below with the pink cup was made using a pearlescent pink watercolor from the Kuretake Gansai Tambi pearl color set. It really stands out against the embossed background. I stamped a heart from the Swatches stamp set and heat embossed it in gold on the white cozy. I die cut the "coffee" word from the "got coffee" sentiment 3 times in 3 different colors to repeat down the side of the card. I finished off the card with some sparkly sequins from Kat's shop.
The second card has a distressed coffee stained background that I achieved by smooshing some Ground Espresso ink onto a piece of acetate and then spraying with water. I then smooshed the acetate against the cream colored paper to give the distressed coffee colored look. I love that effect! I stamped the star from the Swatches stamp set onto the cozy and then sent it through the paper crimper to give it a realistic look. Same die but two very different looks!
The last card I want to share with you is perfect for the Spring/Summer theme. It features a very colorful tropical setting with the cutest little Denami hula chickie on the front! I decorated the cup and the cozy with some flowers from My Favorite Things and the grass die is from Lawn Fawn. The super cute clouds are from Paper Smooches and the bright sun is from My Creative Time. I love how bright and cheery this card turned out and the Kat Scrappiness Layered Coffee Cup Die is the perfect large focal point!

I'm on the Kat Scrappiness blog today to share two cards with you that I made with the same supplies but with 2 very different looks. It's always nice to make 2 cards at the same time especially at this time of the year when Mother's Day and Father's Day are so close together.
The new Stitched Flags dies in the shop this month when paired with the Upper and Lower Condensed Alpha Dies allow for some very versatile combinations of cards.
The first card is a masculine card that could be used for Father's Day or Birthday. I decorated the Stitched Flags with the Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set from last month's release. I cut out the letters D-A-D with the Condensed Uppercase Alphas and gave them a confetti like appearance with some polka dots at the bottom of the letters in blue and brown. I die cut the kraft panel with a Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle die and then embossed it with a woodgrain embossing folder. Lots of foam tape to pop up the flags and the letters. I just love the added dimension!
My second card is just a feminine version of the first card. It's amazing when you change the color palette and the stamp set what a different look you can achieve. The Fab Flowers stamp set from Lawn Fawn and the pink palette make this the perfect Mother's Day card
or a sweet Birthday card for Mom.
Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope I've inspired you to look at your dies and stamp sets in a new light to see what combinations you could come up with!

The Pink team is using digi images from 3 sponsors this month. Knitty Kitty, QKR Stampede and Wink Wink Ink. This is challenge #69 with a theme of Lots of Flowers. On my card I used the adorable Poodle image from Wink Wink Ink. I printed the darling Poodle out and die cut a Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fancy Scalloped Square around her. I stamped the sentiment from a My Creative Time stamp set called Loyal Friends. I used a new cardstock color from Papertrey Ink called Weathervane for the card base and finished off the card with some gray twine from Lawn Fawn. For a little pop of color I added a small red glittered heart to the sweet Poodle.
