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

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!!  








Heat Embossing 101

By    September 13, 2019 // No comments
Ever wondered how to add gorgeous texture to your crafts? Stylish embossing is something you can achieve at home, with just a few crafty essentials!



Embossed designs are produced using your favorite stamps, plus a special ink, and special powder.  Once the designs are stamped in the ink, the area is covered with embossing powder, which melts when heated to create a wonderfully embossed finish! It’s a great technique utilized by paper crafters everywhere.

Let’s look at the process:

Step 1:
Ink your stamp with embossing ink, then stamp onto cardstock. You can use embossing ink, or pigment stamping ink—both are slow-drying. I will be showing both - clear powder on black pigment ink & colored powder on clear embossing ink.










Step 2:
Place the stamped piece onto scrap paper. Immediately sprinkle embossing powder onto the image. You’ll want to work quickly, while the ink is still wet. You can be generous with the embossing powder!







Step 3:
Tap off the excess embossing powder. Return excess powder to the jar.


Step 4:
Use a heat tool to melt the embossing powder. Turn the embossing tool on, then warm it up for few seconds before using it on your project. Place the stamped piece onto a heat-resistant surface like wood, a glass mat or craft sheet, then move heat slowly over the embossed piece. You’ll see the powder melting and becoming raised and shiny. Take care not to overheat the piece.

Keep the jar of powder away from heat tool to avoid powder blowing everywhere!

Hello everyone!  Welcome back to our Saturday Craft Day with Kraftgali!  We are having a blast with this Lawn Fawn set called Fortune Teller.  This set just screamed galaxy background to me so I found a super simple way to do it.  And it’s so fun!  Who doesn’t love the emboss resist technique?  It reminds me of magic ink as a kid; add something and poof…it appears.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Video Tutorial - Mass Producing Diecuts Technique EVERY CARDMAKER Must Know

Hi, this is Princy for Kraftgali.com

I am SO excited about Mama Elephant's collaboration with Hampton Art launching these Mini Agenda stamp and die sets featuring some of Mama Elephant's most popular images. I have used Mini Boy Agenda set for today's project.



I stamped all these images using Versafine Onyx black ink & did some easy quick coloring using zig clean color real brush pens, these are small images so did not require any special color blending skills, just some basic coloring here today.


For the sweet rainbow background - I used distress inks in 6 colors - the number of colors needed for blending depends on the size of blending tool - for an A2 size card & mini blending tool - 5 or max 6 colors should be okay.

  • Mustard seeds
  • Cracked pistachio
  • Abandoned coral 
  • Picked raspberry
  • Spiced marmalade
  • Peacock feathers

To add some extra sine I added Tattered Angels glimmer mist in pearl color. For the front panel used A2 grid panel die from waffle flower for creating window frames! Assembled everything together and the final card is ready.


I am pretty happy with how the final card turned out. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below.

Thanks for visiting!
