Kat Scrappiness - Congrats!

Hello everyone!

I am here with Kat Scrappiness featuring the NEWLY released Star Trio Shaker Card Kit.  I hope you were able to see all the newly released kits, if not you can find them here.  These shaker kits are adorable and so easy to put together.

Here is how I created the shaker:

• Created an A2 card 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.
• Die cut the black layer with KS Embossed Edged Dies.
• Used the Falling Stars 6x6 Stencil in the background, used Transfer Gel Duo with the stencil, let it dry and added foil and ran through laminator.
• Assembled two of the Star Shakers by adding Transfer Gel Duo to the stars, let it dry and added foil to the stars and ran it through the laminator. Next attached the acetate to the stars with a tape runner, added the foam star to the stars, filled with shaker bits, created another star acetate to sealed the shaker bits and added the stars to the card.
• Die cut the Congrats with shadow die using alcohol ink paper and added it to the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by, please come back again soon.

Here is a list of supplies I used on my card, Affiliate Links used at no additional cost. Thank you for your support.

Here is my card for the challenge. Please stop over to the CAS-ual Fridays blog and see all the wonderful projects from the design team!

My card is clean and simple, I did a little watercoloring in the background, I cut three stars from the CAS-ual Fri-dies Stars. I stamped them with versamark and added clear embossing powder to give the stars some dimension and shine. I stamped the sentiment from the Shenanigans Stamp set with red ink, then stamped it again with veramark and added some red embossing powder and heat embossed it.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you decide to play along! You have until July 17th to join. Good luck and have fun!

Joy Clair - Celebrate!

Hello everyone!


I hope you all have had a nice weekend and have had some time off to celebrate with your family Independence Day, if you live in the USA!  I am enjoying my long weekend with my family.  I hope to see the fireworks somewhere tomorrow, how about you?

I am here with Joy Clair, I am featuring one of the most recent new background stamp Grungy Flag.  If you have not seen all the beautiful designs the team has created, please stop by the Joy Clair blog to see them.  The sentiment is from the Joy Clair stamp Let's Celebrate.  This is a perfect stamp you can use for any occasion.  There is a girl image on this set and you can easily have her holding a flag for Independence Day!

Here is my card for your inspiration:

My card is an A2 card, I used my Misti to stamp the background image from the Grungy Flag background stamp.  I inked the flag up with red and blue at the same time and stamp it on my paper.  I think I stamped it about 3 times before I got the look I wanted (thank goodness for my Misti).  I added my sentiment at an angle.  If you can see I have a tool called a paper distresser made by Tim Holtz (tonic) and I distressed my edges so it would look grungy like the flag.  I adhered all my layers together and finished the card off by adding the star embellishments. 

If you have not had a chance to join the "anything goes" challenge, please take a minute and join.  Joy Clair will be giving away one $25 gift card to the Joy Clair Store, randomly selected to give everyone a chance to win.
