Kat Scrappiness Stitched Scallop Nesting Tags

Hi everyone, today I'm featuring Kat Scrappiness brand new Stitched Scallop Nesting Tags.  I absolutely love the unique design and the ability to stamp my images and use as a unique base for them!  I used this beautiful stamp set by Mudra, I love the sentiment and flowers!  For the background base, I used the Circle Flower Cut Background Die by Gina Marie Designs on some light blue cardstock.  I accented around the image using the Fabrika Decoru Enamel Dot drops in White and Pink Dreams.  Lastly I tied a sheer green ribbon at the top of the tag and popped the tag off my cardfront.  I hope you've enjoyed my project. Visit Kat Scrappiness Online store to find these great products and more!

Kat Scrappiness Spring Themed or Valentine Card

Hi everyone, I'm just returning from a little mini get away, exactly what I needed.  I hope you're all doing well too.  Today I'm featuring a quick shaker card I put together using Kat Scrappiness brand new Double Stitched Heart Dies.  I used them as my frame, don't you love that you can use so many different shapes from nesting die sets to make shaker frames?  I filled the inside with 2 different Kat Scrappiness sequin styles.  Both the 6mm green flat flowers and the 6mm pink flat flowers.  I thought they looked really pretty together in this spring colored card.  I used the Kat Scrappiness Hello Word Sentiment Die inside the shaker.  I cut the bottom layer using the largest sized Kat Scrappiness Stitched Rectangle Die which I love because it fills the whole A2 sized card.  I then inked over this really pretty 8x8 Stencil by DCAM Ocean Spray with a green ink pad and blender tool.  Thanks so much for stopping by, check out KatScrappiness online store for all your crafting needs!

Newton's Nook Designs January Release

Hello everyone, welcome to Day 3 of our January Release over at #Newton'sNookDesigns.  Today I'm sharing this super adorable set, Pug Hugs.  I have to admit, I'd never colored a Pug before, but it was so easy, and I think he turned out so cute, I'll be using this set again soon!  It was a simple card to make, I just cut a few layers using pierced squares, inked my center in Ranger Distress Ink Chipped Sapphire.  I added a few stars with my white gel pen, then the sentiment and a heart.  I copic colored the pug and die cut him out using the coordinating die set! I popped him up with some foam tape for dimension.

Thanks for visiting..be sure to read below to find out how to win this!

Newton's Nook Designs January Release

Hello everyone, welcome to Day 2 of #Newton'sNookDesigns January Release.  Today I'm featuring a stamp set that really excites me.  It's called Love & Chocolate and has a coordinating die set.  So immediately I was drawn to my absolute favorite, chocolate covered strawberries!  Years ago, my family and I would attend the Strawberry Festival in Cedarburg, WI every June.  There's a confectionery on Main St. that would hand dip these HUGE strawberries and display them right in the front window.  Oh they were so good!!!  I'm a long way from Wisconsin and these are definitely a summer treat.  So for now, I'll enjoy coloring them!!

I did a lot of masking to create this scene.  I stamped the little strawberries right on my post it pad, then fussy cut a bunch of them to cover up the lower layers as I stamped my way to the top of the pile.  I then copic colored all the berries and used glossy accents on the chocolate..trust me, in person, they almost look real!  I die cut and colored the serving plate to look like Jadeite.  The red gingham paper by GinaK served as the perfect bottom layer around my scene!  My zig zag rectangle is by SugarPea Designs.  I also inked the background and splattered with a bit of white acrylic paint.  

I hope you've enjoyed my creation, thanks for stopping!  Read below for your chance to win!

I used a circle die cut, to turn the scallop into a frame, by cutting out the center, for my window. Otherwise this die cut would be sold for you to stamp your images on, etc.

Newton's Nook Designs What a Hoot Valentine Thank You!

Hi everyone, it's Friday!  It's hard to believe how fast the weeks fly by, isn't it?  

So today is my first ever DT project with Newton's Nook Designs.  I'm so very excited to be joining this amazing team of designers!  I'm just jumping right in here with my first project!  

We are close enough now to Valentine's Day and I've been in a red and pink sort of mood.  So, I thought I'd turn this super cute stamp set What a Hoot and What a Hoot matching dies into a Valentine Thank You!

I started by layering a Stitched Scalloped Rectangle by Gina Marie Designs in Cherry Pop cardstock by #TayloredExpressions.  I Ranger distress inked a panel to go on top in an ombre look, using Candied Apple and Picked Raspberries.  I also ombre inked the stitched heart die by Gina Marie Designs.  

I splattered the bottom of my red inked panel with a little water to lift some color.  And then added some white and gold paint splatter to finish my background.

I copic colored the owls in R81, R83, R85 and R39.  I popped up the owls and leaves using foam tape and finished off my card with #doodlebug red pearls and gems.  

Thank you so much for stopping, I'd love for you to leave a comment letting me know what you think!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Gina Marie Designs Valentines Day

Hello everyone, middle of the week here, hope it's been a good one for you thus far!  Our snow has melted and I'm hearing we may be up in the 70's F by weeks end. 

Today I'm sharing a card using a new die, Valentine's Day by Gina Marie Designs.  This die is just so beautiful, it cuts perfectly and will be a great one to add to your collection!  Oh, before I forget, Gina is now selling gorgeous packs of gems and pearls in her store.  I've used this lovely little pink pearls on my project.  They are great quality and you get a lot for the money, so check them out!

As for the rectangle base which I've gotten a lot of questions on:  I cut a white rectangle to fit inside the stitch line of the scalloped die cut.  From the bottom, I inked in 2 colors of pink..Pink Pirouette and Flirty Flamingo by Stampin Up. (I have no idea if these colors are current). After dry, I mixed 50/50 white acrylic paint and water..then used my brush to do a little splattering. :) Hope that helps.

In keeping things short today, I'm going to list products used below.  Thanks for stopping by!!!

Hi everyone, I have a card to share, I might be a little late on this one.  But considering we have snow in South Carolina today, it seems appropriate!

Showing off a few great dies by #GinaMarieDesigns !!  

I used the red plaid paper from #CartaBella in the 6x6 pad called "Special Delivery".  I cut it out using Gina's stitched Rectangles, then splattered it with a mix of white acrylic paint and water 50/50, to look like a blizzard of snow!

I cut Gina's Leaf Wreath out in both kraft and green and layered them, then added the pinecone, moose and banner from #StampingBella to finish it off.  I hope you like my Northern Exposure style card, it was a lot of fun to make and very easy!  I'm linking products used below, enjoy!

Kat Scrappiness Happy New Year Wreath

Hello everyone!  I'm back from a nice long vacation where I spent time with my family.  I had such a good time, it was sad to see it end.  2017 wouldn't wait any longer, so it's back to work!

So for my first card of the new year, I made this pretty square card using die cuts from the Kat Scrappiness store.  The smattering of sequins and papers also came from Kat's store!

I wanted to use a gold cardstock, but all I had was glitter based.  Then I remembered I had this awesome Indian Gold Nuvo Mousse.  I die cut the sentiment twice, glued it together and burnished the Nuvo Mousse in with my finger.  It dries quickly and I just love the look!!  You use so very little, a tub of this will last a long, long time!
