Rainbow Bridge Pet Sympathy Card | Stamping, Masking and Stenciling | Call Me Crafty Al

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the pet sympathy card that I created using the NEW Rainbow Bridge Sentiments stamp set from Kat Scrappiness, which is part of their NEW Release – Pawsome Dogs.

To get started I stamped the bridge and sentiment from the Rainbow Bridge set onto white cardstock. Then I stamped just the bridge onto some masking paper, cut it out and placed it on top of the white cardstock bridge.

Using a rainbow of inks, I blended the entire piece of cardstock and then I added the NEW Pawprint stencil on top and used the same rainbow colors so the pawprints would stand out. Before removing the stencil, I used some glitter paste in the paw openings, removed the mask and let it dry overnight. Once this was dry the paw prints were sparkly.

I used the largest die in the A2 Frames die set on the card front which left me with a border and center of the ink blended piece. The frame got adhered to a cardbase and the center portion was matted and added to the card base with foam.

To finish off the card I stamped the dog from the Rainbow Bridge stamp set, cut it out and popped it up below the sentiment.

You can check out my video for the full process…

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed today’s card!

Rainbow of “Hope” Slimline Card with Eclipse Effect | Call Me Crafty Al

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the card that I created using some of the NEW products from Kat Scrappiness – including the Fluttering By Collection.

To get started I stamped the solid butterfly from the Fluttering By stamp set in a rainbow of inks along the bottom of a slimline-sized piece of cardstock.

I wanted to use the “eclipse” technique for this card so I used some letters from the Uppercase Condensed Alpha die set and the solid butterfly from the Fluttering By die set to cut out parts of the stamped piece. I also used the middle die from the Slimline Reverse Scallop die set to cut a white frame. I thought this would help separate the background from the die cut pieces.

To finish the card I popped the die cut pieces over their openings using foam tape and added some shine with the Sparkling Snow Pearl Mix.

You can check out my video for the full process…

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed today’s card!

Together We Can Make a Difference | Ukraine Strong Bundle #ksukrainestrong | Call Me Crafty Al

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the card that I created using products from Kat Scrappiness’s Ukraine Strong collection – which is now available as single products also.

To get started I stamped the solid flower and flower center in yellow and blue inks. To add detail, I used the flower outline stamp on top of each one using embossing ink and white embossing powder. Each of these was cut out using the coordinating die.

I used the NEW A2 Quilted Backdrop coverplate die to create a piece for the card front and die cut the sentiment using one of the die from the Double Stitched Hearts die set.

After gluing the flowers in place, I popped the heart up in place using foam tape and added shine with the Sparkling Snow Pearl Mix.

“Aloha” Tropical Inspired Card using Kat Scrappiness’ Summer Vibes Release | Call Me Crafty Al

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at a tropical-inspired card that I created using some of the Kat Scrappiness goodies from their Summer Vibes Release, including the NEW Summer Vibes Paper Pad.

As soon as I saw the cute pineapple paper in the pad, I immediately thought of Hawaii so I wanted to create a tropical-inspired card. I cut a frame using the A2 Reverse Scallop Die Set out of a piece of green paper from the pad. For my sentiment I used dies from the Condensed Uppercase Alpha set to spell “ALOHA”. To help the letters stand out from the background paper, I added a piece of vellum behind the frame – still giving a little peek of those pineapples in the middle.

I used my electronic cutter on one of the floral pieces to cut out some individual flowers. One of them got popped up on the front of the card and I placed another as a little decoration inside.

To finish the card off, I added a trio of yellow enamel dots throughout “ALOHA” from Kat Scrappiness’ Happy Summer Enamel Dots.

You can check out my video for the full process…

Create an Easy Bokeh Background for a Card | Summer Vibes Release | Call Me Crafty Al

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the card that I created using some of the Kat Scrappiness goodies from their Summer Vibes Release, including the NEW Layered Bokeh Stencil Set.

To get started I blended blue and purple inks onto an A2 sized piece of smooth, white cardstock. Then I used white ink with 2 of the 3 stencils in the Layered Bokeh Stencil Set to create the bokeh effect.

For the focal point I used 2 sizes of dies from the Nesting Fishtail Banners die set – cutting one from vellum and one from the center of the ink blended piece. These 2 pieces got adhered together and then I added some white cardstock die cuts made with the Stitched Foliage Dies.

After adhering this piece to the center of the card with foam tape, making sure to cover the opening on the background,
I added some Aqua AB Jewels and Iris Pearls.

You can check out my video the full process…

Creating a Single Layer Card with Stamping, Masking and Stenciling | Call Me Crafty Al

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the “I Love You” card that I created with Kat Scrappiness goodies including the NEW Falling Hearts stencil!

To get started, I stamped two of the quokkas from the Valentine Quokkas stamp set onto the card front, making sure they would fit within the largest heart from the Double Stitched Hearts die set. Next I made a mask of each image and with the largest heart die – keeping the positive and negative pieces.

I covered up the quokkas with their mask and centered the negative heart mask on the card front before ink blending inside of the heart with red ink. I made sure to keep the edges darker than the center. Once that was done I placed the positive heart mask in the open area and removed the negative. I brought in the Falling Hearts Stencil and ink blended those using the same red.

After removing all of the masks I was left with a fun, single layer card. To finish it off I added some small hearts from the Love is Love Sprinkles.

You can check out my video for the full process…

Using Background Dies as Stencils | Patriotic 4th of July Card | Call Me Crafty Al

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the Patriotic Fourth of July card that I created with Kat Scrappiness goodies including the NEW Falling Stars stencil!

To get started, I used the A2 Hearts Sunburst die as a stencil to create the red rays on the background of the card. While the red ink was drying I die cut 2 sets of “1776” from white and red cardstock using the Condensed Numbers dies. Later these 2 copies were adhered together for a shadow-look. After the red ink had dried I used the NEW Falling Stars stencil for the blue hearts.

Before matting the stenciled piece, I added a strip of vellum down the center to help the die cut numbers stand out. After adhering the numbers to the card using foam tape, I added some Ice Ice Baby enamel dots to the card front for some added shine.

You can check out my video for the full process…

Slimline Graduation Card | Adding Glitter with a Stencil | Call Me Crafty Al

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the slimline graduation card that I created with Kat Scrappiness goodies including the NEW Falling Starlights stencil!

To create the background on the card front I did an ombre blend from bottom to top using a blue ink. I then set up the Falling Starlights Stencil and used the same blue ink for a layer of stars. After blending the blue stars I used Deco Foil Transfer Gel DUO with the stencil and added silver glitter and set it aside to dry. To cover the full length of the slimline card front, I did have to shift the stencil. Make sure to watch my video (linked below) to see how I shifted the stencil.

To finish the card I cut the word “CONGRATS” from blue and silver cardstock using the Condensed Uppercase Alphabet die set and layered them together with a bit of an offset.

You can check out my video for the full process…

Hello My Dear Friend | Mixed Sentiment Card featuring Spring Fling Paper Pad | Call Me Crafty Al

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the quick and easy square card I made using some Kat Scrappiness goodies including the NEW Spring Fling Paper Pad.

I used a single piece of the 6″ x 8″ paper to cut the 2 pieces for the front of the card – just flipping one piece over for the solid. For the sentiment I mixed it up using dies and stamps. The “HELLO” was cut using the Condensed Uppercase Alphabet die set and the “My Dear Friend” is one of the stamps from the Friendship Greetings set.

To help the die cut word stand out from the polka-dot background, I adhered a scrap of vellum behind the cut out. I finished off the card with some yellow and white enamel dots from the Daisy Days collection.

You can check out my video for the full process…

Some Bunny Loves You Square Card | Hop Into Easter Release | Call Me Crafty Al

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the quick and easy square card I made using some of the new products from Kat Scrappiness.

I stamped, cut and colored one of the cute bunnies from the Hippity Hoppity Bunnies stamp set. For the sentiment I stamped “Some Bunny Loves You”, from the Hippity Hoppity Sentiments stamp set, three times and used white embossing powder on them. Before heat embossing, I wiped away the excess words with a dry brush, to end up with 3 parts to the sentiment.

These stamped and cut pieces got added to a vellum heart that I cut out of vellum using the solid heart die from the Scoop of Love die set. I adhered the heart to a square of paper I cut from the Hop Into Easter paper pack which was adhered to the card front.

To finish off the card and add a pop of color I added five pearls from the Bubble-licious Pearl Mix to the vellum heart.

You can check out my video for the full process…
