Happy Saturday craft day!!For today’s project we are going to play with these amazing Ranger Alcohol Pearl Inks. Oh goodness are they stunning!I was able to get so many different looks
with these inks.I even started using a water
brush filled with Alcohol Blending solution to assist in moving the colors
around to get the desired result.I was
so impressed with the shimmer and pearlescent attributes of the inks even when
dry.Thank you so much for stopping
by.
Today I am doing to share a process video of these cute shaker embellishments on YouTube Channel. These would come handy to use in the middle of a card or any scrapbook layout.
I think they turned out so sweet!
For my shakers, I have cut frame from white cardstock, pattern paper & 2 layers of foam sheets. You may use a felt sheet also. you could use just 1 foam, but I prefer a minimum of 2, so, there is room in there for the sequins to move around & an extra dimension.
You will also need some sort of clear acetate or packaging - use anything you have in hand to use as shaker window. Take the frame & trace it on your acetate piece - not too exact, its fine as long as you stay inside the frame & outside its center. Using the acetate piece- trace it on another cardstock piece which would be your embellishment's bottom.
I used strong double sided adhesive to assemble them. Having a good adhesive for shaker card is the key! (to prevents spills and leaks). I've some coordinating colors of sequins & beads.
Don’t put too much sequins & beads, leave some space for them to "shake".
To start my card, I trimmed 110lb white cardstock to a 5x7 card base. I then die cut a piece of Lawn Fawn green striped pattern paper and adhered to the center of the card base. Next, I stamped my sick whale on a larger piece of alcohol marker paper and colored with copic markers. I then stamped the same whale on a post it, cut out, and used as a mask to do one layer inking. I then inked with weathered wood oxide ink and then die cut out using the straight across magic picture changer die, and set aside.
I took another piece of alcohol marker paper and stamped the healthy whale, colored with copic markers. I made a mask with the healthy whale and then inked with tumbled glass oxide ink. I stamped the water splashes and waves with broken china oxide ink. I then added a few white pen accents on the image and then die cut out with the diagonal magic picture changer die. I did rub each die cut image with the anti static pouch, which really helps the papers move! Next, I put the two pictures together by following the video on the Lawn Fawn website which has great instructions for all the interactive dies they have!
I added the pull tab with the left over green and the white stitch cover from the add-on dies and the stitched frame from the original die set.
For the bottom, I die cut some watercolor paper with a wave stitch and inked the two pieces with tumbled glass and broken china oxide inks. Next, I stamped the get whale soon with black ink on a die cut stitched banner. I layered this in my misti stamping tool and stamped the second sentiment under the banner. I then die cut the hugs from Altenew script dies in blue foil paper.
For the final touches, I added two stamped and colored underwater plants, some nuvo jewel drops in green and blue, and green sequins.
I am so glad you swung by the kraftgali blog today and I hope I have inspired you to try an interactive card! This one is as easy as they come and so full to watch the picture change as you pull the tab (I have done it at least 20 times!!!)
Hi ya crafty peeps, it's my turn to share another make with a super cute stamp set from Lawn Fawn.
I created a little sea scene. The set is called You Are Sublime and I love this set it's so fun and has so many elements that creating different cards will be so easy. I hope you like my card, stop by the Instagram page for more inspiration to keep you busy crafting!
I'm over this winter weather so this week I played with Lawn Fawn's cute Easter Party stamp set.
I stamped the adorable flower girls onto Spectrum Noir Smooth cardstock in black Memento ink so I could color them in with alcohol markers. I colored each of them different colors. Then I fussy cut them out I like fussy cutting but if you don't they do have matching dies.
To add some dimension to the card I embossed some clouds onto blue cardstock for the sky and inked it with a blue ink. Embossed polka dots to green cardstock and inked it with green ink. I like to add ink after I emboss to help the embossing pop off the page a little bit. I used a double stitched rectangle die to layer my paper onto a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" top folding card base.
I die cut a banner and stamped the "Happy Spring" sentiment onto the center of the banner.
This blog post & video is part 3 of our YouTube series 'Light up YOUR Cards'. If you are new to light up cards, I recommend you checking out the first & second videos of this series HERE and come back.☺

Hello everyone! Today's Kraftgali Design Team project focuses on making multiple cards with one stamp/die set and some fun techniques. We are making a window card by cutting the shape of the die in the front of the card so the image can peek through from the inside. It's a very easy technique but makes your cards stand out from the others. Our second card focuses on heat embossing both the image and the background. And lastly, we could do a multi-set of cards without ink blending using some gorgeous Distress Oxide inks. These are so much fun and give you such a variety of looks. These three cards are great for boys and girls. Thanks so much for stopping by!
