Giving Thanks this week with Kraftgali

By    November 29, 2019 // No comments
Hello Everyone, And Happy Turkey Day to everyone who celebrates it!! 
I know it's a little late, but I thought it would be fitting to make a couple
Thank you cards.
I created one card that was more traditional, with traditional fall colors 
and another card that really didn't look like a fall card or thanksgiving card at all...  
with black and white plaid and purple card stock and flowers...
but it did turn out beautiful!!
In this weeks video I heat embossed the images, and then used my prismacolor
 pencils, three colors per flower on each card, I show you how I used a prismacolor
blender pencil, and then I tried a copic marker filled with gamsol .  On this technique,
I like the blender pencil much better.  If you want to see how I did it, check out the video

Thankful leaves and Autumn colors..

By    October 29, 2019 // No comments
Happy Wednesday Everyone!!  This week we are using 2 stamp sets by Concord & 9th to 
create our two Autumn cards.  I figured you guys might like to see an Autumn card or two before
we dive into some major Holiday card making.  We have the Woven Plaid background stamp set,
and the Thankful Leaves turnabout stamp set.  I used the Woven Plaid as, well, my background
on both cards๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜.. And the Thankful leaves set to stamp out some large leaves for some
copic coloring in bright Autumn colors.


As per my usual style, there are two cards in this video.  Those leaves turned out pretty awesome,
huh??  To see how I did it follow along to the video on my youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_sw2upaKJU&feature=youtu.be


Thanks so much for reading along!  Have a fabulous Wednesday, and a Safe Happy
Halloween!!

Hero Arts Winter Village in Pastels

By    October 19, 2019 // No comments
Hello everyone!  Today's project focuses on the only thing you need to with this amazing stamp...the background.  I had so much fun coloring this up in some non-traditional holiday colors although some can argue that those ARE winter wonderland colors!  I used Ohuhu alcohol markers to color and some stickles to finish it off.  Such a great stamp by Hero Arts.  Check it out over at the shop!

Assembly line scene Cards for the holidays... How to change them up.

By    October 15, 2019 // No comments

Hey Guys!!  Today we are doing something a little different.  It's about that time of 
year when I start making Holiday cards.  This can be a long, monotonous process
be it from making sets of the same card, making the same types of cards for so long, or
maybe you personally just don't enjoy cranking out 60 to 100 or maybe even more every
holiday season.  So let's try to take the sting out of some of those cards... Todays mission;
The scenic card assembly line.  Lets change it up!!
This weeks video is up over on my channel, and it's jammed pack with lots of tips about
putting scene cards together, and lots of ways to change them as you go along, to help prevent that
boredom from setting in.
Here's an added bonus;   I lost my voice this week,  so I continue to go from squeaky, to loud , to scratchy to no voice at all.  That means you lucky viewers get to sit back, relax and read the tips on the screen as you listen to some fun winter music and watch me do all  the work!!
   Don't forget to leave a comment, and let me know what you think of  this video.  You can find the link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtQw5EAf3h0&feature=youtu.be

Enjoy Your Wednesday craft day with Kraftgali.com !!




Snowflake & Shenanigans... and a little bit of shimmer powder.

By    October 08, 2019 // No comments
Hey guys!!  Tanna here, with some snowflakey, shimmery, unplanned 
fun ( and maybe some made up words).  That's right,  It's a video without a plan.  It was so much fun!!  I didn't even pull 
out a lot of fancy supplies.  There's no stamp set as far as the eye can see.  Just this beautiful Concord & 9th wintry edges dies, some Tonic Nuvo glacier paste in frostbite, and some shimmer powder.  
You can use any color combination you want, I even decided to add some dream drops to the last card.
One became a shaker.....

Once looked like a pile of magical snow...

Want to see how I made them?  Come join the fun.  Click the link to the video right 




Wheelie Great Card!!

By    October 01, 2019 // No comments



Hey Guys!!  Tanna here, and I'm back with a really cool stamp set by Art Impressions called Birthday Dog Wheelie.  Now, I've never used or stamped with an Art impressions set before, and I've never made an interactive card like this before.  I was surprised at how easy and fun it was!!  I am however embarrassed to say that originally I thought that cute furry critter was a bear...  Yeah, Yeah, I figured it out!!  Now this stamp set comes with everything you need to make this card , just add some cardstock, color, adhesive and your own creative juices!  Here is a picture of all the goodies in this stamp set:


There are quite a bit of dies,  enough brads for at least three cards, The stamp set with two cute sentiments, and very detailed instructions.  It was super easy!


I did some simple ink blending to create the background for this card, and used some copic alcohol markers to color in the images.  Here are a couple more pictures of the completed card  and if you're interested, the link to the video to see how I put it all together.  Happy pedaling!!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nrniXWC6n4&feature=youtu.be















Getting the Most Out of Your Stamps with Lawn Fawn

By    September 28, 2019 // No comments


Hello everyone!  We are pulling back out the Fortune Teller set from Lawn Fawn for this super fun card.  I am using Arteza Real Brush Pens today to get this soft pallet background and then I carry that over into the images as well.  The most fun part making this card was adding the embellishments to finish it off.  I really had fun using my stuff.  



Party animals... My introduction to Kraftgali

By    September 24, 2019 // 1 comment


Hello Everyone!!  I am so excited to be posting my very first cards and video here on the Kraftgali blog!!  This week We have two cards using the Party Fox stamp set by Avery Elle, which can be found right here in the kraftgali store.  I used some simple distress oxide ink blending to the first card, and turned the second card into a shaker since I had so many images already colored and fussy cut. Here is a closeup of each card, and if you're interested, a link to the youtube video showing how I made them.  Enjoy!!
