Hi crafters! Welcome back to our Saturday Craft Day with Kraftgali! I promised I would be back with this stamp set from Altenew (World Map) to do some watercoloring. Last time it was foil and it was so much fun to do! Today, we are playing with Gansai Tambi Kuretake watercolors and getting these amazing results with minimal effort. Let’s craft!

Happy Saturday Craft Day!! Today's project uses 2 of my favorite techniques with one of my favorite inks....ink blending and ink smooshing with Distress Oxide Ink. The star of the show is Concord & 9th City Skapes stamp set. We are creating a silhouette with a stamp by simply filling in the image with a black alcohol marker. This will add a whole new look to your stamps. Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Slothful Sky using Sunny Studio Stamps

By Candice Fisher July 18, 2019 // No comments

Happy Thursday Crafters!

Today I have a bright card for you with the fun sloths in the Sunny Studios Silly Sloths stamp set!

This card has a lot of detail, but really didn't take me too long to make. I love those cards!

I started by die cutting a thick white cardstock with a double stitched frame and then using the same cardstock, I die cut the wave template. I then took the insides and inked them with peacock feathers, twisted citron, & mowed lawn. I took the sky pieces and embossed with stitched clouds from Sunny Studios.

Next, I stamped all the images from Sunny Studios Silly Sloths stamp set, colored with copic markers and fussy cut out.

I die cut a stitched banner and stamped the sentiment in versafine black ink.

I pop dotted the images for a bit of dimension.

For the final touches, I added green and blue sequins and some green and blue nuvo drops.

And there you have it, a quick bright and fun card done!

You can check out all the brands in the Kraftgali store, everything is one sale!

Thank you sooo much for swinging by!

Foiling With Altenew World Map

By Mary Polanco Designs 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 Candice Fisher 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!
