Hello everyone!

I am here with Kat Scrappiness, Inc. and the Creative Crew is showcasing products from the 2023 Friends Under the Sea! I have two cards I created using a variety of NEWLY Released products from Kat Scrappiness. Be sure to stop by the Kat Scrappiness Blog for lots of inspiration. All the products I used on my cards are listed below. You can find the whole release here.

My first card I am featuring the Friends Under the Sea Stamp Set and Friends Under the Sea Paper Pad.  This is the cutest stamp set, it has several sea animals in the set with lots of sentiments.  I created a fun fold accordion card.  I am using the reverse technique on the turtle images.  I used my Misti and a stencil mat using black onyx ink to stamp the image in reverse.  I then heat embossed the image with clear embossing powder, because I colored the images with alcohol markers.  I die cut the images to use on my card.  The card will fit perfect in an A2 envelope.


Card measurements:
 Card-base: 11" x 4-1/4"
Score at 2-1/2", 3-3/4", 6-3/4" & 8-1/4"
Mats cut 4" x 4", 4" x 3-1/2" & 4" x 2-1/4"
the design paper is cut 1/8 smaller than mats


My second card is an A2 card featuring the Friends Under the Sea Stamp Set, the Friends Under the Sea Paper Pad and the Underwater Adventures Backdrop Die.  I created an alcohol ink background using yupo paper and then die cut the Underwater Adventures Backdrop Die.  I created a shaker card using the  Friends Under the Sea Paper Pad for the background.  also used the reverse technique on the seal images using the  Misti and a stencil mat.
