PJ Moore generously donated the image for my card this week. Isn't it adorable?

I did add a touch of green too but I tried to stick to the main colors. I also distressed the edges a bit as I didn't put any dimension on this card.

Kat Scrappiness' 2022 Holiday Release!!

***Links in this post are Affiliate Links used at no extra cost to you.

Hey friends!! Just popping in with some cards I created for the Kat Scrappiness Holiday Release!!! All products are available in the Kat Scrappiness Shop right now!!

My first card is a very simple card using the NEW Kat Scrappiness Santa's Helper Stamp Set and Santa's Helper Coordinating Dies. 

I paired this little elf with the little snowflake die cuts from the NEW The Night Before Christmas Window Scene Dies and the Snowflake Frame Backdrop Die.

I love these little elves and there are so many ways you could color them in for some FUN cards!!!

*********************************************************************************

My second card also features the Santa's Helper Stamp Set and Santa's Helper Coordinating Dies. I coordinated the dies this time with the tree from The Night Before Christmas Window Scene Dies and the NEW Reindeer Games 6x6 Paper Pad!!!

I colored in the tree and elf with Copic Markers and added it over the Stitched Dome Nesting Dies that were die cut from white cardstock, some snowflake paper from the new KS Reindeer 6x6 Paper Pad and some vellum.

I added a bit of glitter glue for "snow" on the tree and Silver Stickles to the toes of the elf's boots.

The sentiment is from the NEW Kat Scrappiness Reindeer Games Sentiments Stamp Set. I love this new Christmas Sentiment Set and will be using this for a lot of cards this year. 

******************************************************************************************

My third card I created for the new release Kat Scrappiness Release is a shaker card. I used the new A2 Full Front Shaker Card Packets with the Nativity Scene Die to make a simple scene.

I added sequins from the Silver Glitter Sequin Mix and the Silver Party Confetti Sequins for the shaker bits.

The new A2 Full Front Shaker Card Packets made making this shaker card a BREEZE!!!

Since Kat Scrappiness is a super sponsor, and will be giving away a $25.00 gift card to the store to a lucky entry at the Coffee Lovers Hop Main Post!!!

Here is the card I created with Kat Scrappiness Products for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop on the Coffee Lovers Blog!!! The Kat Scrappiness Shop is a Super Sponsor this year!!! 

I started off my card by die creating a background with some Distress Spray Stains and Distress Mica Stains. I then die cut the Kat Scrappiness Stitched Scalloped Collage Frame out of white cardstock and adhered it over the top.

Next I used the Cuppa Love Shaker Dies to die cut a coffee cup from a piece of Gobble Gobble 6x6 Pattern Paper piece. I used some orange scraps to die cut a second cup and then cut those pieces off. I adhered the orange handle and the orange bottom to my tea cup. I added the cup to my card with foam adhesive.

I then die cut a tea bag out of white paper using the same dies, as well as a spoon from a scrap of mirror paper. I tucked the tea bag into the cup and created my orange tab with Distress Inks. The sugar cube was created using some white paper scraps that I covered in Glitter Glue.

I adhered the spoon to my card and a sentiment from the Kat Scrappiness Simple Sentiments Bundle that I had covered in Distress Inks. The orange is die cut from white cardstock using the Kat Scrappiness Mason Jar Shaker Dies. I colored it in with orange Copic Markers.

My last step was to use the Kat Scrappiness Perk Up Stamps and Dies to stamp and die cut "Sip Happens." This card was SO FUN TO CREATE and I love how it came out!!
