Go Wild Birthday Cards

Hi crafty friends! 

Happy Monday hope you had a great weekend! 

This week I have a few cards to share with you that I made using Wild Ones by Neat and Tangled.

For my first card I stamped the images onto watercolor paper with versafine black ink. I colored them in with Arteza Real Brush pens. Then I fussy cut the images out.

For this card I used the sentiment from the Sending Hugs stamp set by Newtons Nook Designs. I used a yellow pattern paper to frame the design. Green pattern paper as the grass and some blue and white strip paper for the sky. I then adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/2"X 4 1/4" card base. 

For my second card I wanted to play with masking. I love masking but some times I struggle with the order of the stamping so I started out easy with this one. I stamped the turtle and bird first masked them and then stamped the giraffe and gift. I stamped them all with Memento black ink so I could color them in with alcohol markers. After I colored them in I die cut them out with a rectangle double stitched die.

For the sentiment I stamped "GO WILD" and heat set it with Gold WOW embossing-powder. I stamped the second part of the sentiment "PARTY ANIMAL" in black ink. Then I took some pink cardstock and die cut a rectangle with rounded corners. I matted the top panel onto the pink paper. I then adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/2"X 4 1/4" card base. 

For my last card I have to share today I wanted to play with masking again I wanted the cut little monkey to be riding the giraffe. I love the look of white embossing one black cardstock so I die cut a banner and stamped "GO WILD!" onto the black cardstock and heat set it with Opaque Bright White WOW embossing and stamped "PARTY ANIMAL" down the side.

To add a little interest to the card I ran my cardstock through my die cutting machine in a polka dot embossing folder. Then inked it with a darker shade of purple ink to help the polka dots pop off the page. I then adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/2"X 4 1/4" card base. 

Thanks for stopping by today see you next Monday!

Newton's Nook - So Hoppy Together

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a sweet card featuring Newton's Nook Designs Bitty Bunnies

These adorable bunnies are just happy to be with each other. This set is perfect for the upcoming Easter holiday but, it's also great just to let that special someone how much you care about them.

I stamped the images with Versafine Onyx Black Ink onto Bristol Smooth cardstock and colored them with Arteza Real Brush Markers. For the background, I used Distress Oxide Inks in Broken China and Bundled Sage - I used a brush to apply the ink for a light look. I finished the scene with some tiny flowers.

I hope you give these sweet guys a try!

Distress Oxide Techniques + Graduation Cards

Hello & welcome to another Kraftgali blog post & video.

Today, we are having so much fun making these graduation cards featuring some distress oxide inks.

To begin with, I wanted to apologize for the lighting & filming variations you will come across in the video as I had struggled to complete this recording in several days.

The stamp set featured in today's video - Newtons Graduation Stamps set by Newton's Nook Designs. I am using the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform to stamp the cat images multiple times. The images are colored using Prismacolor premier color pencils.

For the first card background, I have used Distress Oxide inks in a rainbow color order. I have used Concord & 9th All About You Dies Set along with  Newtons Graduation Stamps set.

Colors Being Used in Rainbow Fashion-
1. Wilted Violet
2. Faded Jeans
3. Broken China
4. Peeled Paint
5. Fossilized Amber
6. Spiced Marmalade
7. Fired Brick

I have also used Tattered Angels glimmer mist in all of the cards today to add some sparkle and shine. Xyron Adhesive Eraser is one of my favorite tools handy to prevent any adhesive accidents.

For the second card, I have created the background using distress oxides on Canson Montval watercolor paper and adhered the stamped & colored image on it. I literally spent more than 2 hours playing on this background as it was so much fun! Distress oxide inks are very forgiving. I love it!

For the third card, I have used ALPHABET Dies to die cut the word CONGRATS. I have used an old Quinn's ABC Lawn Fawn Die Set in my video. Link to Other Dies set Here - ALPHABET Dies. I kept the card simple to let the focus stay on the shiny dimensional alpabets created using Distress Oxides.

The alphabets in the BONUS card shown in the video is created using a thick (2.5 inch) washi tape.

Next, I need to find new graduates to send these cards to! 😍😍😍

Thank you for spending time with me today! Hope you have a good weekend. Happy Crafting :)
