Butterfly Kisses...

Hi ya crafts peeps, it's my turn to share my latest project with you featuring stamps from the Kraftgali Store. I can't wait until Spring. I am so over all this snow and cold and ready to see some sunshine and butterflys. To get you in the mood, I created a little sunny card.

With Easter and Spring not so far off, I thought that this stamp set would be perfect. This stamp set is called Butterfly Kisses and is by Lawn Fawn. It's a new set and oh so cute!

Wishing You a Very Happy Easter

Happy Monday crafty friends! 

I'm tired this Monday we just got done with a fun filled spring break. I love having my kiddos home but I'm ready to get back into a normal routine. This week I played with Lawn Fawn's Easter Party Stamp set. 

I stamped all of the images into smooth cardstock with Memento black ink and colored them in with alcohol markers. I die cut a 5 1/5"X 41/4" double stitched rectangle out of pattern paper. Over the pattern paper I layered green and blue cardstock and die cut them with a rounded corner double stitch rectangle die which was smaller then the other die.

I fussy cut all of the stamped images out after I colored them in. I stamped the sentiment "wishing you a very happy Easter" up onto the right corner of the sky.

The bunny is so adorable! I love all of Lawn Fawns little characters they are so cute.

I adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/5"X 41/4" card base. 

Thank you for stopping by today. I will be back again next Monday!

See how we made this card in the video below and see if it sparks some more inspiration on how you can stretch your supplies.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Lawn Fawn Oh Gnome!

Morning to all you fabulous crafters!

It's Friday which means I get to share with you another fun card I created this week using the new Lawn Fawn release from theKraftgali shop!

I created a fun belated birthday card using the Magic Picture Changer & Add-on dies with the Oh Gnome! stamp set.

To begin my card I created the 5x7 card base using 110lb thick white cardstock and added some blue stitch die cut blue cardstock to the center.  I stamped the images, colored with copic markers, and fussy cut out. 

To create the magic picture changer's first scene I stamped the mushrooms, grass, and cloud with masking and then colored with copic markers. 

For the second picture in the changer, I stamped the same mushrooms, grass, and cloud and added the cute gnome and quote bubble and colored with copic markers.  To put the two together, I first die cut the mushroom scene with the straight across die and then the second scene with the diagonal die.  I then rubbed them with the anti static pouch to help them move easier.  Next, I put them together and set aside.

I die cut the large white stitched frame & the smaller white frame with the green tab.  I put this all over the two scenes I had die cut earlier and glued to the center of the card.

To finish, I die cut two strips of grass from green cardstock and stamped the sentiment along the smaller one.  I pop dotted the large grass and added some of the mushrooms and gnome behind it.  Next, I pop dotted the smaller grass and added some more mushrooms and the flowers.  For the final touch, I added the stitched cloud. 

I really love the funny sentiments this stamp set has and the Magic Picture Changer dies are so easy to use for a fun interactive card!

Check out the Kraftgali shop for the amazing products she has in stock and then share your creations with us on the Kraftgali Fan Club on Facebook!

Have a great weekend and I will see you next Friday for another interactive card I have to share with you!

A Simple St. Patrick's Day Card!

Hi crafty friends!

Hope you had a great weekend. Next weekend is St. Patrick's day I'm not Irish and I don't normally make St. Patrick's day cards but I love to get the most out of my stamp sets and saw the "Happy St. Patrick's day" sentiment in this sentiment stamp set so I went ahead and made a card using it. 

This card is really simple and fast to make. I used three different shades of green ink with this Bohemian 6X6 Bouquet field of daisies stencil. 

I matted the stenciled background onto to different shades of green cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment with green ink onto a thin strip of paper cut the ends off to form a banner. I adhered the sentiment with foam tape. I adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" card base. 

Thanks for stopping by have a great week and see you next Monday!
