Kat Scrappiness Blog Hop to Benefit Coffee Oasis

Hello dear friends, today I have a special project to share with you. I am participating of Kat Scrappiness Blog Hop to Benefit Coffee Oasis.
Kat Scrappiness Blog Hop to Benefit Coffee Oasis
Coffee Oasis is a coffee shop/organization located in Washington State that provides help for our youth including programs for drug abuse, homelessness, violence and poverty. (You can read more about their programs here

Joy Clair Stamps and Rinea are part of the sponsors of this amazing event and I decided to make my card using some of their products in combination with die cuts from Kat Scrappiness.

The base of my card is Rich Razzleberry card stock and the second layer is Pool Party card stock. Don’t believe that I am making a mistake with the colors. Noooo. I cut this layer using one of the amazing winter designs of die cuts from Kat Scrappiness and after cut the layer, I decided to take of all the possibilities that the Crafters Essential Winter Dies offered me. With this cover plate included on this set you can cut, embossed and stenciled at the same time.

I inked the entire layer using four different colors of Distress Oxide Inks and then using the die cut as stencil I enhanced the snowflakes details using a blue color of ink. I splatter the layer with water and activate the ink.  I wish you could see this card in real, because it turned out fantastic.

With the borders included on the Crafters Essential Winter Dies, I cut two different whisper white layers that I embossed with a dotted embossing folder. To these layer I just colored the borders with Copic Markers and pasted with dimensionals over the lover part of the inked background.

Then I cut two different sizes of the Circle Cross Stitched Dies from Gina Marie Designs. The larger using Silver/Silver StarStruck Rinea Foiled Paper and the smaller with Silver/Gold Glossy Rinea Foiled Paper. I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set Heartfelt Sympathy from Joy Clair Stamps using Staz On Blue Hawaii. I pasted the both die cuts and then added it behind of the embossed borders.

As final touch I added some tiny and amazing snowflakes in white and blue. They are the Falling Snow Sprinkles from Kat Scrappiness and believe me you have to take care of them because it looks like candies. I love it!
