Happy Easter Shaker Cards

Hi Crafty friends! 

This week I played with this adorable little Easter Chicks Clear Stamps. I love this stamp set it is little but so many fun ways to use it. One of the cards I used this Bohemian Bouquet field of daisies stencil. On all three cards I heat embossed clear embossing powder on black on watercolor cardstock and colored them in with Arteza Real brush markers. 

The first card I made was very simple I just layered different die cut pattern pieces of paper and layered them. 

My last two cards I made shaker cards. I'm really loving shaker cards right now. 

This shaker card I adhered the chicks to the front of the acetate and everything else inside.

On this card I used the stencil with purple ink onto purple cardstock. This shaker card I adhered the chicks inside of the shaker card.

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

Thank You Bear Hugs with Avery Elle

Good Friday to all of you!

I have a fun little thank you scene for you today using two of Avery Elle's new stamp sets, the market stand & All of Us.  I am so in love with the faces these little critters have!

I began my card by trimming some kraft paper a little smaller than the card base of 5x7 and adhering to the center.  I then die cut some watercolor paper with a stitched frame and inked with tumbled glass oxide ink.  I used a cloud stencil to create the background using broken china oxide ink.  I then glued to the center of the card.

I stamped the bears from the All of Us stamp set and then masked them to add the signs with the sayings.  I then colored them with copic markers and fussy cut around them.  Next, I stamped the market stand, the hedgehog, and the thank you word bubble, colored with copics and fussy cut out.  I lined up the market stand on the card front and then stamped the cute bugs onto the cloud background. 
I die cut some extra stitched scene builders, the sun, clouds, and grass and inked the sun with scattered straw oxide ink and the grass with shabby shutters oxide ink.

To put it together, I glued the grass to the bottom of the bears (I LOVE the sets were you have them all lined up and you don't have to do all the masking!) and lined them along the bottom.  I pop dotted the market stand in the center, glued the hedgehog and his paws down and pop dotted the thank you.  Next, I pop dotted the bears along the bottom and the sun along the top. 

I love creating these fun spring and summer scenes with all the new cuties that are in the stamp sets that are all available at the Kraftgali store!

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!

Free Hugs from These Cute Chicks from Avery Elle!

Hello this fantastic Friday!

This Friday I have a cute card I created using the adorable new stamp sets from Avery Elle in the Kraftgali shop!

I used the Easter Chicks stamp set & the Market Stand stamp set to create this fun interactive card!

I started my card base by creating a 5x7 card using 110lb thick white cardstock and die cut a stitched piece using the same thick cardstock and adhered to the center.  I then stamped the market stand with black memento ink along with the bumblebee, butterfly, and open sign.  I then stamped the sentiments into the spaces on the stand and then colored the whole scene with copic markers. 

I then die cut the scene using the Lawn Fawn reveal wheel die set and stamped the sentiments in the circle with the help of these new and awesome reveal wheel templates!  These guys eliminate the pencil lines that I never could fully erase.  Next, I die cut one more reveal wheel stitched base and pop dotted the wheel onto the bottom one.  I then pop dotted the whole top over it.

I die cut two layers of green grass from a stitched grass die and the bottom of the reveal wheel die.  I glued the first one down and pop dotted the second to add more depth.  I then die cut the purple arrow and glued down next to the wheel.

I stamped these adorable chicks from the Avery Elle Easter Chicks stamp set, colored with copic markers, and fussy cut out.  I then pop dotted them onto the front to add some dimension. 

For the final touches I added some white nuvo drops. 

I am so enjoying making spring cards again with all the bright and fun colors!  I must say, I am in love with Avery Elle market stand stamp set with all the cute different stands you can create and image all the cute critters you can put to work at it!

I would love to see your creations at the Kraftgali Fan Club on Facebook and you can see all the new product in the Kraftgali shop!

Until next Friday, have a wonderful week!
