Hello Friends!! 

I am so excited today for a NEW April 2022 Release from the Kat Scrappiness Shop! They released new Shaker Dimension Sets and STENCILS!!!

I created two new projects for this release, a shaker card and a congratulations card with the new stencils.

For my first card, I used the new Butterfly Shaker Dimension set and the new Floating Dots stencil for this card. 

I started off by creating my pattern paper background using the new Kat Scrappiness Floating Dots Stencil, the new Kat Scrappiness Stencil Brush and a stamp from the Kat Scrappiness Friendship Greetings Stamp set. I die cut it using the largest die from the Kat Scrappiness Embossed Edge Rectangles Dies and adhered it to a white A2, card front.

I used the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Postage Stamp Edged Rectangles to die cut a white postage stamp element and adhered it over my pattern paper.

Then it was time for the shaker!!! I used various colors of Distress Oxide Ink and Clear Embossing powder over the front of my butterfly. I filled my shaker with Kat Scrappiness Trix Mix II and White Diamond Sequins. 

I used the Kat Scrappiness Boxed Sentiment Strips to die cut a sentiment from the Friendship Greetings stamp set and adhered it over the butterfly with foam adhesive. To finish off my card, I glued sequins from the Trix Mix II randomly around the shaker. I LOVE how this card came out and cannot wait to send it to someone!!

My second card is one that is special to me because it is for my daughter. When I saw the new Falling Star Stencil, I knew exactly what I wanted to use it for-a graduation card!

I started off this card by using some blending red dye ink across a white, slimline card base. I then used the same red ink and the Kat Scrappiness Falling Stars Stencil to stencil stars over the entire card front.

Next I spritzed water and some mica spray over the entire card front. I then added the glitter letters that were die cut from gold and platinum glitter paper using the Kat Scrappiness Upper Case Condensed Alphabet.

I made sure to NOT adhere these letters in a straight line so that I didn't have to fight for it to be perfect!!!

My last step was to randomly adhere some pearls from the Kat Scrappiness Gray Opal Pearl Mix randomly across my card front. I cannot WAIT to give this to my daughter for her graduation!!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #531

 Hello my friends!!

Today I am posting a card for a new challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge. It is to use the colors brown, tangerine and blue on your card. 

I have to admit that this was something I had to think about. I decided to use some dies by Spellbinders to create this card. Below is this weeks Cupcake Inspiration Challenge Badge #531.

I used the images on top of the cupcakes, as well as the colors for the my inspiration. The layered die cuts look like they have a flower image on them.

The polka dot paper is at least 10 years old and is from My Mind's Eye. I layered it over a light blue, A2 sized card base.

My sentiment is from The Greetery. It is a really simple card but I like how it came out. Sometimes simple is good!!!

That is all from me today. Please hop on over to The Cupcake Inspiration Challenge Blog and play with us this week. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS day!!

A Card for the Inspired By Challenge IB189

Happy Tuesday!!

It is still raining here in the Northeast. I guess it is typical during the fall but I want it to be nice so I can go apple picking!! I like to pick during the week to avoid all the crowds. I have a ton of farms that are minutes from my house that I pick it, depending on what type of apple I am looking for. My favorite are Macoun-what type is your favorite?

Speaking of apples, I am popping in with a card that I created for this weeks Inspired By Card Challenge. I got a package from Spellbinders last week with the *Welcome Fall cutting dies and I had to use them!!!

Below is the Inspired By Challenge IB189-All the Peels. My card was inspired by the basket on the badge and a bit by the sketch.

If I had actually looked at the badge closely, I should have die cut my basket out of grayer paper. I also could have added some of the filling that is below the apples as I have that in spades for gifts!! However, I was in a rush to get a bunch of cards done so my card is as it is.

I blended *Peacock Feathers Distress Ink for my background and used Tim Holtz Flickering Candle Distress Mica Stain before I added my die cuts. These colors were inspired by the card example on the package!! I always have more than one little something that inspires a card!

I LOVE this die set and have some ideas to use it with some Christmas branches next time!!!

The sentiment is from The Greetery.

Well, that is all from me today. I just wanted to get this out there. I haven't had a bunch of time lately and am flying by the seat of my pants!!!

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by!! Have a FABULOUS day!!

My Turn on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog

Happy Sunday everyone!! Tomorrow is the first day I go back after summer break. I so don't want to!! I will be honest, I am a bit nervous due to the Delta variant going around. We will be starting off again with masks in school but not the social distancing in the classrooms. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it goes as well as it did in the spring.

Today I am over on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog with a card I created by looking at my supplies in a different way.

Can you guess what product in the CAS-Friday Shop that I created these butterflies from??? Hop on over to my BLOG POST to find out!!!

I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS day!!
