Foiling With Altenew World Map

By    July 13, 2019 // 1 comment
Hello everyone and welcome back to our Saturday Craft Day with Kraftgali!  Today’s project is focused on how to heat foil without having to use a bulky laminator of special foiling machine.  Those things are great to have in the craft room but if you are limited on space or budget, then this is a great alternative to still achieve that super fun foiled look.  I’m using Rainbow Deco Foil with this amazing World Map Stamp set from Altenew.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Tickled Pink It's Your BIrthday!

By    July 11, 2019 // No comments
Welcome back fellow crafters! 
Today I have a super fun summery slim line card for you using Sunny Studios new release from the Kraftgali store! 



I started the slim line with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base and trimmed a piece to fit on to the front and cut the circles on my cameo silhouette.  I took another piece of cardstock and inked in ombre using oxide inks of mowed lawn, twisted citron, & shabby shutters to fit behind the circles.


I stamped the images from the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set, colored with copic markers, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. 

I then trimmed acetate to fit behind three of the circles, added pop dots to the back of the circle piece with green sequins and adhered to the card.


Next, I die cut two stitched banners, stamped the sentiments and added the flowers, trimming the ends to fit on the card.

I adhered all the images around the open circles, pop dotting some for depth. 

If you haven't seen the Sunny Studios summer release Kraftgali has some of them left and on sale here.

We would love to see your creations and can share them with us at the Kraftgali Fan Club on FB!

Thank you so much for visiting!

4th of July Fireworks!

By    July 04, 2019 // No comments
Happy 4th of July!
My card today is exactly what I will be doing this 4th of July with my family, camping and watching the fireworks in the woods! 



I used a couple of the Lawn Fawn sets, specifically the Happy Trails stamp set and the Coaster Critters stamp set & Coordinating dies for my scene.

I started by trimming my slim line card to an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base and cut a piece of watercolor paper a little smaller.  I then heat embossed my fireworks using a variety of colors and then inked with black soot, chipped sapphire, seedless preserves & picked raspberry for my night sky.


I stamped my images, colored with copic markers, and cut the critters with the coordinating dies and fussy cut the rest.
Next I die cut the layers of grass and inked them each with lucky clover & pine needles popping up two of the layers.


I layered all the images, pop dotting some and then simply added a heat embossed sentiment along the top on a strip.
I wanted to keep it simple to show off the fireworks and let them sparkle!

I hope you all have a fabulous July 4th, even if you live outside of the US!
Please stop into the Kraftgali store, everything is on sale!

And you can join us on the Kraftgali Fan Club on FB and show us your creations!

Thank you!

Silly Sloth Box Card

By    July 01, 2019 // 1 comment
Happy Monday crafty friends!

Wow this summer is flying by soon school by kiddos will be back in school. I'm having a hard time believing it is already July 1st. 


This week I had fun playing with the Silly Sloths stamp set by Sunny Studio Stamps. I have been really enjoying making box cards. I had always thought they looked really complicated to make but once you make one and know the measurements they come together fast. 



I stamped all of the images into smooth card stock with Memento black ink and colored them in with Spectrum Noir markers. I fussy cut them all out.  I use a strip of acetate to attach all of the sloths and plants to the card.


I think this sentiment is too cute. "Have a Slothsome Birthday".


I used Black Nuvo drops on all of the sloths noses to give a little bit of dimension and shine to the noses. 


I think the back is perfect for a little note to be written. I had a n extra sloth so I adhered him at the took like he is looking over the note. 


Have a great week and I will be back next Monday!

Fun & Games with Lawn Fawn!

By    June 27, 2019 // No comments
Happy Thursday to you all!

Since I have fallen completely head over heels for slim line cards, I am looking at older stamp sets in a new light and pulled out the Lawn Fawn Coaster Critters stamp & coordinating die set for this card!


Since the images on this set are really small, I wanted to have them be center stage and went with a soft and basic design and color palette.

To start my card I created an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base and trimmed some thick cardstock to fit on the front.  I then inked the piece with tumbled glass oxide ink, going lighter near the edges.  Next, I die cut some grass and inked with shabby shutters oxide ink, going lighter towards the top of the grass.


I stamped all the images from Lawn Fawn Coaster Critters stamp set, colored with light copic markers, and then cut out with the coordinating dies.  With the smaller images I always get the coordinating dies because I know I will be using lots of the cuties on one card!

I also stamped the sentiment on thick white cardstock and trimmed to fit on the grass.  Next, I layered the images with glue or pop dots varying to give them depth. 


I really went back and forth deciding if I wanted to add any sequins or nuvo drops but felt it would take away from the softness and instead added some clouds from the Lawn Fawn Village Shop stamp set but Lawn Fawn has so many sets with clouds you can pick from any!

I hope I have inspired you to look at some of your older sets in a new light and share with us your creations on the Kraftgali Fan Club on Facebook!  Stop into the shop to see the great deals here!

Thanks so much for visiting!
