“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…

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

Congrats Grad Mini Slimline Card
Happy Monday!!

It’s Sheri here today with a Congrats GRAD card using featuring the Falling Stars Stencil, a couple dies and some gold foil!

Super easy to make and love the elegant design! The hardest part is waiting for the Deco Foil Trasfer Gel Duo to dry but I just worked on cutting all the layers and elements that were needed to assemble the card.

Steps to Create Card:
- Take a 6″ x 4″ black piece of card stock (start larger that your final panel size to allow you to pick the best area to cut out with your die), Falling Star Stencil, pallet knife, and Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo and apply a light coat. Clean stencil and set panel aside to dry. To be safe I let it dry for approximately 1 hour.
- Cut and Score black Mini Slimline card base: 6″ x 3 1/2″ (6″ x 7″, scored at 3 1/2″ on 7″ side).
- Cut Gold Mat: 5 5/8″ x 3 1/8″ using the Mini Slimline Never Ending die set.
- Cut Black Stitched Mat: 5 1/2″ x 3″ using Mini Slimline Double Stitched die set.
- Cut the letters “G“, “R“, “A“, and “D” out a total of three times to stack for dimension. You will need 2 in black and 1 in gold glitter card stock from the Condensed Uppercase Alphabet die set. Stack and glue the gold glitter letter on top of each stack. This adds dimension without the need to add foam tape.
- Cut out the “Congrats” a total of three times in black card stock using the Congrats w/Shadow die. Stack and glue the three together.
- Once your panel has dried, it’s time to add Gold Foil. By using the Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo you can apply the foil with or without a laminator. I used my Mini Minc to apply the foil. If you would like try without heat, here’s a great tutorial by ThermOWeb.
- After I foiled the panel I used cut it down to 5 3/8″ x 2 3/4″ using the Mini Slimline Never Ending die set.
- Assemble the card.
- To finish off the inside of the card I lined the inside: Gold Glitter Mat: 5 1/2″ x 3″ using Mini Slimline Double Stitched die set, Black card stock Mat: 5 5/16″ x 2 13/16″ & White Panel: 5″ x 2 1/2″ using the Mini Slimline Never Ending die set.
Card Measurements:
- Black Mini Slimline Card Base: 6″ x 3 1/2″ (6″ x 7″, scored at 3 1/2″ on the 7″ side)
- Gold Mat: 5 5/8″ x 3 1/8″
- Black Stitched Mat: 5 1/2″ x 3″
- Black Panel: 5 3/8″ x 2 3/4″
Inside of Card:
- Gold Mat:5 1/2″ x 3″
- Black Mat: 5 5/16″ x 2 15/16″
- White Panel: 5″ x 2 1/2″

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…

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

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…

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

Joy Christmas Wishes

Hello Friends Waleska here super happy to be here for our last month of this 2021, today I want to share a super easy card you can make for those last minute cards you might need for this season. I hope you like it and be inspired!

CARD DETAILS:

To create this card I started with my base, I cut a white panel of the Stitched Postage Stamp Edge Rectangle die. I then cut the solid circle ornament of the Christmas Shaker Ornament dies with white cardstock and inked it with Candied Apple Oxide ink. I cut the top of my ornament with gold cardstock and I also cut the letters J and Y to spell the word Joy on my card with the Condensed Uppercase Alphabet Dies with green cardstock.

I finally adhered the letters with 3D foam tape with the ornament spelling the word Joy and I finished by splashing some gold watercolor on the entire card. I hope you have a wonderful day and you are getting ready for Christmas!
