Kat Scrappiness Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Spring Summer 2023

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my Blog! Kat Scrappiness is please to be a super sponsor for the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop for Spring/Summer 2023. The design team members have joined in to show you some of the fun with coffee themed cards we made using some of the Kat Scrappiness "Coffee" related products. We currently have over 100 Coffee themed products available here. Everything in our "Coffee" Category is 10% off your order.

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

I love Hot Coffee but in the Spring/Summer I like to indulge in Iced Coffee or a Coffee Frappe with whipped cream. Where I'm from there are places that sell it in a Mason Jar. When Kat Scrappiness came out with the Mason Jar Shaker Dies I knew I had to use it in my card. Below you will find the steps to create your own card.


Step 1 - Trim White Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 11", score at 5 1/2" and fold in half for a horizontal top fold card. (A2)

Step 2 - Diecut Double Stitched Rectangle using Hop Into Easter 6x8 Paper Pad. Adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

Step 3 - Trim White Cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4", apply an Ink you have in your stash in color Pink using a Blender Brush. Once it is completely covered adhere to card front using Foam Tape.

Step 4 - Diecut Mason Jar (solid piece) using White Cardstock and the top and straw using Hop Into Easter 6x8 Paper Pad. Optional: use the same ink left on the brush from Step 3 to add some shading to the edges of the solid piece. Assemble using Bearly Art Precision Glue. Before adhering to the card front see Step 5.

Step 5 - Stamp Coffee Quokka (image with the coffee beans) to the bottom of the Jar using Brown Ink. Use washi tape or non permanent tape to mask of the areas that doesn't have the coffee beans. Once inked remove the tape and then stamp. 

Step 6 - Stamp Perk Up sentiment using the same Brown Ink from Step 5. Adhere to card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

Step 7 - Optional: for added interest and sparkle randonly adhere Brown Diamond Rhinestone Mix and Be My Valentine Sprinkle Mix using a Pick Up Tool.

Happy Birthday Floral Mini Slimline Card

Hi everyone,

I have a quick and easy card to share with you using the Pink Fresh Studio Simplest Gestures Stamp, stencils and die and used the Simon Says Stamp Soft Plaid Background to create a subtle background. Below is the steps to create your own card.


Step 1 - Trim White Cardstock using a trimmer to 7” x 6”, score at 3 1/2” using a bone folder and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (Mini Slimline)

Step 2 - Trim White Cardstock using a trimmer to 3 1/4” x 5 3/4”. Place the panel in a Misti and Stamp the Soft Plaid Background using Pawsitively Saturated Ink. I used Sunbeam. Don’t ink the whole stamp and to remove the edges use a Blender Brush. Add some Liquid Pixie Dust to give your background some sparkle. Let dry. Adhere the panel to the card front using Foam Tape. (If you don’t have Foam Tape you can add Bearly Art Precision Glue to a piece of Fun Foam on both sides.)


Step 3 - Place Pink Fresh Studio Simplest Gestures (floral) in a Misti and stamp using White Cardstock with SSS Black Intense Ink. Once the ink is dry place the Pink Fresh Studio Simplest Gestures Stencils and use various Pawsitively Saturated Inks. I used the following combinations on my flowers and leaves. Cheeky/Blush, Marine/Cadette/Royal, Sprout/Teal, Bubblegum/Sweets. Diecut the image using Pink Fresh Studio Simplest Gestures die. To add more dimension diecut 2-3 floral outline using White Cardstock. Stack together and adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

Step 4 - Place White Cardstock in a Misti and Stamp Trinity Stamps Simply Sentimental - Happy using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Diecut Happy with the matching die. Adhere to card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

Step 5 - For added interest and Sparkle adhere Trinity Stamps Bubble Bath Embellishment Mix to the center of the flowers using Bearly Art Precision Glue.




This card can be used for several occasions by changing the sentiment and/or colors. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Step 2 - Trim White Cardstock to 3 1/4” x 5 3/4”. Apply Inks of your choice using a Blending Brush. I used Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks in rainbow order starting with Cheeky, Peachy, Lemonade, Celery and Seafoam. Optional - Sprinkle some water for an oxidized look.

Step 4 - Diecut Thankful For You Using White Cardstock for the base and Inked Cardstock to the Thankful. Inks are Lemonade and Celery. Assemble using Bearly Art Precision Glue and adhere to card using Foam Tape.

Step 5 - For added interest and shine randomly adhere Pearl Mix in the same color range as a rainbow using a Pick Up Tool and Bearly Art Precision Glue. I used Ballerina Pink, Apricot, Bumble Bee, Mint Green and Seafoam Pearl Mix.

Step 4 - Adhere 4 strips of Red Line tape to the backside of the panel to each edge created in Step 2. Remove the release sheet to three sides and place a piece of cellophane packaging making sure to secure the corners. Add in a sequin mix and remove the last release sheet and close. I used Tutti Fruiti, 12th Man and Spring Leaves Sequins. Now you have a flat edge to edge shaker. Secure it to the front of the card using Red Line Tape.

Step 5 - Diecut Small Script Trio (hugs) 3 times. 2 times using White Cardstock and 1 time using Gold Matte Cardstock. Assemble each layer and adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.
