Therm-O-Web, TRHD and Katie

Heyyyy!  We are collaborating with Therm-O-web this week!  Woohoo!  We have fun creations throughout the week, so keep checking back for more. 



I have a fun creation for you today, filled with unicorns, rainbows and foil!




Um... don't you just want to jump into the sparkly, dreamy scene?  Ride a unicorn or two?  Giddy-up! LOL. 

And can I draw your attention to the extra sparkle in the background →


OK, so here is how I made this:
  • I started with die cutting the Thanks border on some sticker paper that I had on hand.  The die is from Top Dog Dies (no longer around). 
  • Next, I peeled of the backing and applied my Deco Foil Rainbow Shattered Glass directly to the sticky portion. I set this aside.  
  • I  repeated this step with the Rainbow Die Set (Trinity).  I die cut the cloud dies from the Cloudy Day Scene Builder Die set in white and set them both aside. 
  • Then I stamped my unicorn from The Rabbit Hole Designs Sassy Stamp set on Copic friendly paper.  I colored it and fussy cut it out.  Again, I set this aside. 
  • The next step was to place my Candy Twist Stencil (TRHD) on a white card base.  I tacked it down with Pixie Spray.  Then I covered it with Glass Bead Glitter Gel and a palette knife.  (I like to rinse this type of thing off immediately when done so it doesn't stick to the stencil forever).
  • Once the background was dry, I came back in and added my elements; frame, rainbows, clouds and unicorn.
Here is another view:
Well I hope you enjoyed this card!  I loved making it and playing with these products!

Ruff Life

Hey, Hey!  What did you think of our inspiration hop and new goodies?  I sure had fun playing with them!  Well I have another card today using those now products.  


 I think this card says it all!  Life is rough before coffee, no matter what day of week it is!  The boxer and the sentiment get Oscar for sure, but that paper get's best supporting actor. LOL

 I made this card by:

  • Stamping my image on Copic friendly paper and coloring it with my Copics. I used my 0 blender to make the edges of the robe look fluffy like terry cloth. 
  • You'll notice that next, I used my gold gel pen to make his boxer shorts a bit sassy. 
  • After it was dry (not to smudge the gel pen), I fussy cut it out and put it aside. 
  • Next, I pulled out this DP from Echo Park and I die cut it using my Wonky Stitches die.  
  • I brushed the edges with a blue distress ink and then I adhered it to my base. 
  • Next, I cut the red CS and my white smaller.  I stamped the sentiment on my white and adhered that to the red, which I adhered to my DP. 
  • Lastly, I added my pooch into the scene with some foam tape. 
Here is one more look:




 So, do you love the latest release and all the caffeinated critters?  What is your fave stamp/set?  I am not sure I can chose.

 Don't forget you can now get these stamps in the shop and at Simon Says Stamps as well. 

 Thanks for visiting and head on over to my blog for a list of supplies.  Have a fantastic day! ~Katie

Curiosity with Katie

Happy Saturday!  Happy to be here on a Saturday, my fave day of the week, drinking coffee and sharing papercrafts.  What more could a girl ask for?!

 So as we sprint into fall (it sure does feel that way to me), I have another fun Halloween card using the September release. 


I love the contrast of colors here and the sharpness of the edges and the background die.   I also love the embossing powder, Metalline Flame, and the sparkly enamel dots, they just complete the intense feel. 

Here's how I made it:
  • I started by stamping my image from the Hex Yeah set and colored it with my Copics.  I fussy cut it out and set it aside. 
  • Next I went about creating the layers.  I knew I wanted to use this die and make the color pop through the black, but I had to be careful about placement so that it didn't take away from her lovely orange dress.  
  • Once I had my layers and colored CS picked, I cut them to the size I wanted.  
  • I mounted my girl on top and set it aside. 
  • Next, I cut a black base.  On the base I stamped this sentiment from my stash with versamark ink and embossed with Metalline Flame embossing Powder from Wow.  I chose this color because it complimented the scene so well. 
  • I came back in and mounted my layers and dress on the card. 
  • Lastly, I added these sparkly enamel dots from Freckled Fawn. 
Well, I hope you like this card!  I truly enjoyed making it. You can head to my blog here for a full list of supplies.

In the patch- with Katie

Happy Thursday crafters!  Katie here with a fun fall themed post for you today.  Just trying to get you geared up for you upcoming trip to the pumpkin patch!


I love this Pumpkin Friends set from the recent release, it is so cute and fun, and of course pairs perfectly with Gourdgeous.  So let me share how I made today's card.

How to:
  • I started this card by stamping my image using my Misti on Copic friendly paper.  I colored it them using my markers (see colors and other supplies on my blog).  I fussy cut them out with my snips and set them aside. 
  • Next, I worked on my backdrop. I started by die cutting a bit of paper with the scalloped edge and then used distress inks to create a sky and ground.  I splashed a little water on the scene to give texture to the sky.
  • After that, I stamped my image again so the shadow would be part of the scene.
  • I used some dies to cut leaves and stems, the closest I had to what might look like pumpkin greenery.  I added a little bit of Crushed Olive distress ink on a few edges to add to the colors.  I aslo cut a few thin strips of darker green paper and made the curly cues that you often see on pumpkins.
  • I used various glues and foam tape to mount the pumpkins and the leaves and put the scene together.
  • I chose to stamp the sentiment last, always a risky proposition, but it worked out. 
  • Lastly, I mounted the front later on black cardstock



So, pumpkin friends for the win?!  I think they are a sweet pair and they would be my first choice in the Pumpkin Patch. :)



Thank you for visiting me here today!  I hope you enjoyed this post and are loving this new release!  Please head to my blog for a full list of supplies. ~Katie

Spookiest Mom

Hey Friends!  Katie here today with a card that completely cracks me up.  Hopefully... you feel the same.   I was feeling a little quirky and fiesty when I made it.  

Well, what do you think?  Funny or dumb?  I just couldn't resist putting the pumpkin head on the cat.  And scariest costume, that refers to mom being the scariest, costume or not. 

Here is how I made it: 

  • I started by stamping my cat from the Caffeinated Cat set and coloring it with my Copics.  I pulled in the purple for that touch of Halloween. 
  • Next, I stamped the pumpkin from Gourd-geous and colored it as well.  I cut them both out with my scissors. 
  • I set them aside and set up my card layout, starting with the background paper mounted on white. 
  • I decided to use the same paper for the cup in Mom's hand.
  • I die cut this frame in black and white and left the white in the between pieces. 
  • On the inside of the frame, I stamped the sentiment #momlife and mounted my image.  The head is mounted using an action wobble. 
  • I added these sparkly stars and then the sentiment, which was part of the DP pack. 
Reminder, videos aren't my thing, but I wanted to show you the head in motion. 


I love the halloween colors and the fun feel of this card.  Again, I hope you can appreciate my sense of humor with this post.  If not, well, that's OK too, I am not for everyone. ;)


Here are the stamp sets I used:

Humboldt Spinner with Katie

Hello there!  Happy Friday!

Today I have a fun card inspired by nature.  My daughter loves wildlife shows and cartoons that have to do with wildlife.  So we watched a show about Humboldt Squid and that is what inspired this card.  Humboldt are known for their bioluminescence and flashing red and white while hunting.  I used blue in my card instead of white, as I thought it was a better contrast. 

How I made this card:
  • I started by cutting my blue cardstock 8.5 X 5.5.  I scored it at 4.25 inches.
  • Next, I stamped this background ocean stamp on all sides with Stormy Sky Distress Ink.
  • After that, I scored the card at 2.125 to make it a Z-fold card.
  • Then, I used a circle die cut and cut half of a circle form the Z portion of the card.
  • I die cut the same sized circle from white cardstock and used the distress ink to color it. I adhered it to the card base so it lined up with half circle die cut.
  • On a bit of Navy CS, I embossed the sentiment with platinum embossing powder and used foam tape to mount it on the card. 
  • I stamped one squid from the Inky set and colored it using red and pink Copics. 
  • I mirror stamped another squid, made it a little darker with my Copic friendly liner pen and colored it with blue Copics.
  • I colored the edges of both images with my black liner and added some black to the back as well in case they didn't perfectly line up. 
  • I used mono adhesive on both squids.  I also added some extremely sticky double sided tape along the middle of the image and then added some fishing line down the middle.  
  • I ran the line down the edge in the z fold and taped it down so it was taught, then I used liquid glue (Glossy Accents) to ensure it held tight and trimmed the ends. 

Here is a close up of the blue side: 


So I do NOT do videos, BUT, I tried to capture what it would look like to see the spinner.  


Well I hope you enjoyed this creation today.  You are welcome to visit my blog for a full list of supplies.

Rare and Beautiful- with Katie

Happy Tuesday!  Are you having a good week? So far so good here.  

Today I have another fun card using the Sassy Stamp set. 


Isn't it cute?  I just love this color combo, it is so magical, especially with those sparkly stars. 

Here is how I made it: 
  • Stamped out the unicorn from the Sassy set and colored it using my Copics (RV02, RV14, V04, V17, YG23, C1, C3).  I added some highlights with my white gel pen and then fussy cut it out. 
  • Next I die cut this scene using this die from my stash, it is inclusive of the clouds and rainbow.  I used colored paper for the rainbows and added a little blue distress ink to my clouds. 
  • I added a blue sky behind and mounted on a white base, then I added the clouds and rainbow, popping some of them out.  
  • Next, I added my unicorn in front of the rainbow.  
  • I stamped the sentiment on an extra bit of white and put it up front. 
  • Lastly, I die cut these stars out of some sparkly pink paper and placed them on my scene.  



A pretty simple card to make.  Here is the close up of the unicorn with those bright and fun colors.  The sentiment is lovely too- "A true friend is like a unicorn, beautiful and rare."

Well that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed this post and will share your thoughts below.  You can visit my blog for a full list of supplies.

Please come back tomorrow to see what our Guest DT Tanya has in store!

Roll Me In Glitter- with Katie

Happy Monday!  I hope you are having a good monday filled with coffee and good tidings!  Katie here and I have a fun card for you today using the newly released Sassy Stamp Set. 


Here is fun card I have using this set: 

Rainbows, unicorns, glitter, stars... isn't it just perfectly fun?!  I makes me think of my sweet little girl, when she was still into unicorns, lol.  

Here is how I made it: 

  • I stamped the image on Copic friendly paper and colored it.  I used my ScanNCut to cut it out. 
  • Next, I cut my rainbow paper to the perfect size so I could have all the colors included. I mounted this on a white base. 
  • Then I cut the black cardstock to size, about 1/2 smaller than the base. 
  • I used the die cut from my sash to make the stars. 
  • For the sentiment, I stamped in versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. 
  • I mounted this panel on the base with foam tape so there was enough space to see the colors through.  
  • Lastly, I added the unicorn with more foam tape.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Here is one more pic so you can see sassy up close. 
Hope you enjoyed today's inspiration and find yourself getting just a little bit crafty today.  Thank you so much for the visit!

Feline Fine- with Katie

Hey, Hey, Katie here today!  Let's see, what day is it?  Wednesday!  Oh wait, it is only Tuesday- lame, but Happy Almost Hump Day to you!  



Last week I had one for the dog lovers and today I have one for the cat lovers... with a teensy bit (literally) of dog too.  Hopefully this one makes someone feel a teensy bit better if they are under the weather. 



Here is how I made it: 
  • Started by stamping my cats and pups from Cattitude and Doggone on Copic Friendly paper. 
  • I die cut them out using my ScanNCut and colored them with my copics. 
  • For the dog, I paper pieced a bit of plaid paper for his scarf.
  • Next I die cut the blueprint die using a light shade of brown paper.  Then I mounted it on Kraft. 
  • I decided where I wanted to place each of my critters and then set them aside. 
  • I stamped the paws and the different bits of sentiment in the different grids based on where I wanted the pets. 
  • Lastly, I came back in and added my pets using foam tape. 
My biggest challenge with this card was the Tortoiseshell Kitty, but I think it turned out pretty good.  What do you think? Have you attempted this type of pet coloring? What was your technique and how did it turn out? 


Well, I had such a fun time making this card and I hope it perks someone up. :)

Pet Lovers with Katie

Hey there pet lovers!  Katie here with a sweet scene today that will make you want to give your pet a hug!

Isn't that the sweetest thing?  A tiny girl looking up at her dog in awe!  He is just towering over her, so cute.


Here is how I made this card:
  • First I stamped and colored my pup from Doggone and colored it with my Copics.  I fussy cut it out and set it aside. 
  • Next, I masked and stamped the little girl from the We Are Family set.  I colored her and paper pieced the shirt, then fussy cut her as well
  • Then I die cut the scalloped circle and stamped the sentiment (from Doggone). 
  • I added some cloud dp and die cut some grass and added it to the scene. 
  • Next I placed my critter and his kid, using some foam tape.  
  • I mounted this all on the same paper as the girls shirt, which was then mounted on white cardstock measuring 6 X 4.
Here is a close up: 


As my teamies pointed out, this would make a great (sniffle) pet sympathy card.  BUT, I prefer to think of it as a simple I miss you or thinking of you card. Wouldn't that be fun?  I know just who I will send it to. ;)

Sets used: 
We are Family (currently on sale!!!)
Doggone





Well, I hope you enjoyed this card today.  I had fun making it to share with you!  Feel free to visit my blog to see the full list of supplies.

This scene makes me happy, it is so sweet.  I just returned from vacation, and I like to imagine this kitty is me.... dreaming of vacation again. :)  

Here is how I made it: 

  • I stamped this kitty from the Cattitude set and the bird from the Love You More set on Copic friendly paper.  I colored them both and fussy cut them out and set them aside. 
  • I cut a piece of light blue paper to 3.75 X 3.75.  I stamped some clouds from the Love you More set directly on the blue. then I added some white highlights. 
  • I die cut the flowers and grass scene builders and added them to the blue background.  
  • Next,  I added my kitty and added a bit more grass in front.  
  • Lastly, I mounted it all on a 4X4 notecard. 

 Here you can see the dimension. 


One more shot of the card from a different angle. This makes for a small but sweet notecard, perfect for most occasions.

Happy Anniversary- with Katie

Hi there, Katie here today.  I have a simple but sweet anniversary card to share with you today. 


I may give this to my hubby for our anniversary in a few months.  I hope he likes it. 

Here is how I made it:
  • I stamped the the main image from Love is More on a slightly opaque vellum using archival ink.  
  • I used zigs and a spectrum aqua for the background. 
  • Used a circle die to cut it out. 
  • I stamped the background stamps onto the white.  
  • Lastly, I adhered the circle over the top. 

Pretty easy and I like the pop of color and the watercolor look of the the cream crisp white. 




I hope you enjoyed this post and thank you for visiting today.  If you would like see a full list of supplies please visit my blog.
