Hey scrappy friends! :)

Thank you so much for visiting my blog on todays 1st Celebration Blog hop for Kat Scrappiness. Today is so exciting! Not only will you be inspired by the designers' projects along this hop, there is a lot of fantastic prizes to be won! You should have arrived here from Mona's Blog. You will find the full link up list at the end of this post or on Kat Scrappiness Blog

We are so excited to announce the addition of our first ever exclusive clear stamp sets! One that is perfect for interactive papercraft designs and one that is an adorable Giraffe. You will also catch a glimpse of some brand new dies and sequin embellishment mixes that are also exclusives. Check out all of the exclusive products at Kat's store.

I made a simple shaker card using Lola the Giraffe and lots of fun elements from Kat's store, so here is the step-by-step on how I did it.

I first foiled the patterned paper from the FOILables - Toner Graphics with Thermoweb Decofoil (rainbow) using my Heidi Swapp Minc machine. It turned out so pretty, don't you think? 

Then it's time to create the window for my shaker card. I die cut the rectangle frame using Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Rectangle die; which I then carefully cut into size. I also cut a piece of acetate the same size and adhered it to the frame. I then put a border of foam adhesive around the whole patterned paper -- thin enough to hide behind the frame.

Then here's the FUN part --- Fill it up with lots and lots of pretty Kat Scrappiness sequins! I am using Neon Barbie, Neon Summer and Sun-Kissed. I also adhered some sequins to the foiled patterned paper, so that even when you don't shake the card, pretty sequins will be "floating" :) Once you're satisfied filling up the sequins, adhere the frame/acetate to the foam border to seal it up.

Finally, all you need to do it to decorate the front of the card. I stamped Lola the Giraffe with Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink and colored her with my Copic markers, then fussy cut her and popped her up on the heart I die cut using Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Heart die. I also die cut the "Hello" Brush Script word with some gold foam glitter. I wanted to add the "Let's hang out" sentiment, so I die cut a part of the Kat Scrappiness Sign Post die set then stamped the sentiment on it, which fit perfectly! I adhered everything down using Ranger Glossy Accents.

I hope you have been inspired by my card.

I am using the high heel shoe from the JGW Fashionably French kit. I gave it a makeover and turned it all blue. I also added lots of bling, fancy ribbon and a paper flower.

Hubby says it reminded him of Cinderella's glass slipper! 

All fit for a princess. :)

This stamp is from the Kinda Sorta Miss You kit and I colored him in with my Copic markers. For the background, I did some embossing with Darice "Dandelion Flowers" embossing folder and Hero Arts Shadow inks.

Here's my next card!

I used the NEW Gianna Girl designed by Angie Blom and colored her in with my Copic markers. Don't you think she looks FABULOUS?

For the background I inked it up with lots of Tim Holtz distress ink {Abandoned Coral} and then used the TCW "Mini Daisy Cluster" stencil to get the negative image.

And for my final card, I was going for a polaroid concept! :)

Here I used the "Head up Heart Strong" stamp by Phyllis Harris and colored her in with Tsukineko Versa Magic chalk inks! It's always fun to use different mediums to color.

And hey... BECAUSE It is Unity's BIRTHDAY, I made this tag with the "Everyday Celebration" stamp!

Many times, we love an image and WISH it could be stamped the other way round... Well, now you can! With mirror stamping, you'd get the reflected image. Here I have used this cute teacup stamp from the February KOM "Allow beauty" and colored it in with some colored pencils. For the reflection, I have used the same colors but just coloring it much lighter.

For my second card, I am using this NEW flower stamp.

In the video, I will show the basics of shading and coloring with Copic markers (or any other markers you have). Just grab 3 shades of the same color and start coloring!

Since I am obssessed with seeing an aurora in real life (which I will one day!!), I decided to color my own aurora sky :)

I have used the cute "Little Woodland Creatures" stamps and colored in my aurora sky with my lightest colors of Copic markers. Quick and easy, fun to do!

***

And for my final card for today's hop, I am using this cute "Dottie Bunny".

Using some Viva Decor modeling creme in Gold and Heidi Swapp's mini stencils, I have created a simple textured pattern for my card. Since gold foil is the craze, why not gold embossing paste? :)

AND... here's the BEST part!

There's a HUGE SALES going on NOW!

For my first card, I did my own galaxy sky background using some Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors. With some random colors peeking through and white paint as stars, you can make your own galaxy too!

For the cute characters from the Little Outer Space kit, I have stamped and colored them in with my copic markers. Then fussy cut it, adhered it onto my card using some pop up foam tape for the extra dimension.

***

For my next card, I stamped the "Adaline" Angie Girl onto some watercolor cardstock and colored her in with my Copic markers.

Then I used my new Molotow masking liquid pen to "mask off" the Angie Girl. Once dried, I painted in the background with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors then I simply peeled off the masking layer! I used an adhesive remover to help speed up the process.

Hope you've enjoyed the quick tips, now it's time to SHOP and get yourself a FREEBIE! :)
