Scenic Christmas Card - Kat Scrappiness Products

 Well I hope you were able to get all that you desired on your Black Friday shopping sprees!  I did not venture out, instead I stayed home and crafted. One of my most favorite things to do.  So today I am showing off one of the cards I made using products from Kat Scrappiness.

I created this adorable Christmas scene card  using Santa's Helpers Stamp set, Reindeer Games Stamp set, Reindeer Games Sentiment Stamps and the Crafters Essential Winter Dies.  I colored all the images with my copic markers and cut out some of the  pieces with my Scan N Cut.  But, don't worry if you do not have one, because these stamp sets come with coordinating die sets!   

I hope this card will inspire you to stop by the website and check out all the goodies they have available.  You won't be disappointed!  And be sure to take advantage of their Black Friday Sale going on now thru  Monday!

Kat Scrappiness Winter Release - Merry Christmas Card

 I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is now ready to do some creating!  Today I have a cute Christmas card to show you using some new Kat Scrappiness items.  

I created this cute A2 sized card using the following sets from Kat Scrappiness.  I die cut the Snowflake Background Die then added one of the Nesting Deco Frames Dies.  I stamped and colored the elves from the Santa's Helpers Stamp set and the holly from the Reindeer Games Stamp set. .  They were both colored by me using my copic markers and then cut out using my Brother Scan N Cut machine.  However if you don't own a scan n cut, they do have matching dies available for both stamp sets.   I love how it turned out, the really bright colors and the snowflake frame frames it nicely.  Here is another photo of the finished card:

I hope you get a chance to craft this busy shopping weekend.  You may definitely want to take advantage of the Black Friday sale over at Kat Scrappiness!  There are lots of goodies to be had and great gifts for fellow crafte3rs!

Kat Scrappiness Winter Release Shaker Card

 Today I am sharing with you two more fabulous die sets from the new Kat Scrappiness Release.  I decided to create a 5 x7 card this time and make it a shaker.  

For the shaker portion of the card, I used the Night Before Christmas Window Die set and for the sentiment I used the new Noel Word with Shadow die.  I also had enough printed paper left to add it to the flap of the envelope.  I love the idea of doing so as it makes the card and envelope match.  

I hope you like this card and will check out all the wonderful products over at Kat Scrappiness!

Postage Edge Circles - Birthday Card

 This is the last of the projects I have for the New Postage Edge Shapes collection from Spellbinders and Becca Feeken.  This particular project features the circle shapes.  I have created this fun and pretty pink birthday card using these dies.  

As usual, I started with a white A2 base card to which I added a pink mat and a pink and red striped background paper.  A thin strip of brushed gold cardstock was added across the bottom.  Next I cut three  postage edge circles from pink cardstock.  They were arranged onto the front of the card with the center one being popped up with foam squares.  I then cut smaller circles from the same die set using two different printed cardstocks and one in white.  I used the white one to add the sentiment in black ink.  They were then attached to the pink circles.

I then created a red flower for the bottom left side of the card in red cardstock to pick up the red in the striped background paper.  It was then assembled and attached over green leaves.  As a final embellishments, I added some red gems to the background. 

I hope this card will inspire you to try one of your own.  It can be created in any color scheme you like.  It would also make a really nice masculine card by leaving the flower off or adding something more manly in the corner.

Postage Edge Shaped Rectangles Christmas Card - You are gonna Love it!

 Today I am showing off another one  of Becca Feeken's new collection, Postage Edge Rectangles.  I decided to create this fun and cute layered Christmas Card I think you are going to love!

To create this card, I started with a white A2 card base.  To that I added a mat of dark green cardstock.  Then a postage edged rectangle in red cardstock.  I found some really pretty vellum from my stash that had shiny red stars on it.  I cut it using one of the Essential Rectangle dies.  The next layer was cut using a smaller postage edged rectangle and mirrored red cardstock which was popped up using foam squares.  I then added the white center section using a smaller essential rectangle and glued it to the red mirrored piece.  

For the sentiment, I used the Big Holiday Words stamp set for the "J" and "Y".  They were colored using red and green inks  and outlined with black fine line marker.  I then fussy cut them and added to the front of the card in the white rectangle.  For the "O"  I used the Santa's head from the Dancing St. Nick die set.  He was then assembled and popped up using a wobble so that the head wiggles when the card is moved.  I added a small red ribbon under his beard and some red and green gems to the corners as shown.  

I really love how this card turned out. I love the different layers and how nice the postage edge rectangles look!  I hope you will give them a try.  Please check back tomorrow when I will have another fun project from this collection.

Postage Edge Shapes Collection by Becca Feeken

 Today I am thrilled to be sharing a new collection  by Spellbinders and Becca Feeken  called the Postage Edge Shapes Collection.  The first shape I am sharing is the oval.  I created two projects for this set, a card and a gift tag.  On the card, I also used the rectangle postage edge  die.  I decided to use a rather unusual color scheme, but I think it turned out beautifully.  See for yourself!

The tag  is created exactly the same as the center of the card, so I will tell  you how the card was created first.  I started with an A2 white card base to which I added a piece of mirror gold as a mat.  I then cut a piece of teal from the postage edge rectangle and adhered that on top of the gold. I then added a strip of white ribbon from my stash across the center of the card.   Two white ovals were cut from white cardstock, in two different sizes. A teal oval postage edge was cut to fit just inside the larger white oval, Then using Gold Foil and my Solid Oval Glimmer plate I foiled another oval to fit just inside the teal one.  (if you don't have a hot foil system or this particular plate,, you can easily cut an oval from mirrored gold cardstock instead).  I then placed the second white oval atop the fold one and glued each in place.

Next I made three purple roses and tipped the edge of each with purple ink.  They were then attached to the bottom left corner  of the ovals.  I cut the leaves from the same purple cardstock and adhered them as shown.  I also cut two gold leaf sprigs and attached hem as shown.  

The small butterfly was stamped using the same purple ink as I used for the roses and cut using a die.  I glimmered the "Happy Birthday" was also glimmered with gold foil and cut out and matted onto a piece of teal cardstock.  It was then popped up onto the front of the card using foam squares.  I attached the small butterfly to the sentiment. 

As a final touch I added a white bow and a gold and white button from my stash to the bottom left of the card to finish it off.  

The tag was created in the same way as the oval section of the card.  I then punched a hole in the top center of the ovals to run some white ribbon through for hanging.  

It went perfectly with a purple gift bag that I had in my stash.  I hope you like this combo and will give it a try for yourselt.  If you don't like the colors I chose, you can simply create it with your own favorite color combination.  

Be sure to come back tomorrow for another project from this collection.  You are not going to want to miss it!

Spelbinders Die of the month for November 2022 - Layered Floral Card Creator

 Today I am pleased to share with you the new Die of the Month from Spellbinders entitled Layered Floral Card Creator. This is a beautiful die set that can be used for any occasion or type of card you would need.  A definite must for any card making stash!  

I decided to start with  purple A2 sized base card to which I added a white cardstock mat.  The largest die was cut from dark green cardstock and then I paper pieced the remaining parts of the die using the separate dies and various colors of cardstock from my stash.  I added the small butterfly using purple ink and die cut it so that it could be glued to the front of the card.  

The sentiment was created using foil and Yana's Special Sentiments Glimmer Plate.  It was then cut using the matching dies and popped up onto the front of the card using foam squares.  

As a final touch, I added some purple gems I found it my stash.  This made for a beautiful card.  I hope you like it.  Be sure to stop back tomorrow to see what I have created using this months Kit of the Month.  To view all the clubs and discounts, please click here.

Spellbinders Clear Stamp and Die of the Month for November 2022 - Diamond and Arch Motif

 Today is the second day of new club releases from Spellbinders.  This time I am sharing the Clear Stamp and Die of the Month entitled Diamond And Arch Motif.  It is such a pretty stamp set and there are many options on how it can be used.  

For my example, I decided to stamp the larger image twice onto black cardstock using clear pigment ink.  Then I heat embossed it using white embossing powder.  This was then framed with a piece of red cardstock and mounted onto an A2 card base.  I added a small red gemstone from my stash to the center of the largest flowers. 

For the sentiment I stamped it using black ink onto whit cardstock.  It was then cut out using the matching die.  I mounted it onto some of the red cardstock and popped it up sing foam squares.  

This card is done!  A very easy and quick card.  You can use any of the sentiments included to create cards for several different occasions.  Be sure to check back tomorrow to see another Club of the Month from Spellbinders.  To see all the clubs, simply click here.

November Spellbinders APG of the Month - Pop up 3D Vignette - Alarm Clock

 Well today is November 1st and that means that Spellbinders is releasing it's new clubs for the month.  I am honored to be sharing some of them with you.  Today I am featuring the APG Kit of the month which is this wonderful 3D Alarm Clock Vignette.

I decided to create this clock using my favorite color - Pink.  It really went well with the silver accents.  To create the clock, I started with the dark pink cardstock and cut out all the layers, numbers and center piece.  I then cut the background pieces from white cardstock and all the trim, hands, and bells from brushed silver.  I even placed the brushed silver behind the sentiment.  

I then adorned the clock using some small pearls around the numbers, a fashion silver embellishment in the very center of the clock.  I then decided to dress it up with some flowers which were cut, assembled and attached to the clock face as shown.  The centers of the light pink flowers have small pink jewels added.  

Here are some more angles of this adorable clock.  

I hope you like this project and will give it a try for yourself.  Any color combination will work, and it actually folds to fit in an A2 sized envelope.  What a great surprise to give to anyone who I am sure would display it proudly.  Please  check out all the wonderful clubs spellbinders has to offer, and be sure to stop back tomorrow to see what other clubs I will be sharing with you.
