    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.

    You can check out my video for the full process…

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

    Hello fellow crafters,

    I wanted to share this shaker card I made, I tried something new for me. I am using Kat Scrappiness sprinkles that I find so colorful that I wanted to ensure they were showcased in the best way. I decided to make a see through card so the fill was visible from the front and the back.

    I started by making my layered frame. This frame had to be made twice so it looked great from the back also.

    I determined the size of the frame based on a standard 5×7 card. I used acetate behind each frame to form the “bread” part of this shaker sandwich I was creating. Next I cut fun foam to fit between the frames to form the shaker space. I used two layers of the foam to give the sprinkles enough room to move.

    Using glue I assembled the layers. I filled the inside with many different colors of candy sprinkles then glued the top on.

    Next I die cut the sentiment using the Kat Scrappiness Hooray die and Shadow. Before attaching this sentiment to the front window I wrote a message to the recipient on the back of it so it could be read through the back. I embossed a sub sentiment on black and attached under the die cut.

    I think this made a fun card.  I hope you try making one too. The sentiment dies from Kat Scrappiness all work well with this type card so give it a go.

    Supplies: KS candy sprinkles – green, purple, blue, yellow, hot pink and candy explosion sprinkles

    KS – Hooray die and shadow

  • How To Foil Using Your Background Dies

    How To Foil Using Your Background Dies

    Happy New Years Everyone, it’s Tina here. I wish you all an awesome year ahead! By now the holidays have passed and life is returning to normal. Today I wanted to share a card with you using your Background Dies to create a foiled background. Below you will find the steps to recreate this fun technique and how I used the Fancy Floral Coverplate Die.

    Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”, score at 4 1/4” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card (A2)

    Step 2 – Diecut Fancy Floral Coverplate using White Cardstock. Place the diecut on White Cardstock and secure it with Painter’s Tape. Using Deco Foil Transfer Gel apply with a Palette Knife over the stencil created. Once stencil is thoroughly covered gently remove the stencil. Let the background dry for an hour or until the Transfer Gel has turned clear.

    Step 3 – Place Foil Paper over the background and insert it into a folded photocopy paper. Pass it in your laminator. I passed it twice. Remove the Foil Paper and what you have is a beautiful foiled background. See photos below.

    Step 4 – Diecut Double Stitched Rectangles to the background created from Step 3 – Adhere to card using Foam Tape.

    Step 5 – Diecut sentiment 3 times and adhere all layers using Collage Medium and adhere to card.

    Step 6 – Stamp sentiment using Versamark on Black Cardstock. Sprinkle White Embossing Powder and remove the excess. Heat set it with a heat tool. Trim and adhere to card using foam tape.

    Step 7 – Optional – For added interest Diecut Stitched & Layered Christmas Tree (the star) 3 times and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

    I hope you enjoyed another way to use your background dies. This card can be used for any occasion by changing the background, color and sentiment. Below is a link to all the products used. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

  • Stitched Scallop Shaker Card

    Stitched Scallop Shaker Card

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here today. I have a fun shaker card to share with you using the new Stitched Scallop Circles Die and Stitched Scallop Rectangles Die with the Sun Kissed Sequins Mix. Below are the steps to replicate this card.

    • Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half for a vertical side fold card.
    • Step 2 – Diecut Double Stitched Rectangles using Patterned Paper. This will be your background.
    • Step 3 – Diecut Stitched Scallop Rectangles Die using Patterned Paper (the Die is one up from Background). Diecut Stitched Scallop Circles slightly higher than mid center. (This is your window).
    • Step 4 – Using Never Ending Circles Die diecut the patterned paper from Step 2 one die bigger than the Stitched Scallop Circle created from Step 3 (make sure to position the window over the patterned paper). Adhere the background to the front of the card. You will need to diecut an acetate sheet with the same size Never Ending Circles Die.
    • Step 5 – Turn over the patterned paper from Step 3 and adhere the acetate using Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape or Collage Medium. Adhere foam tape all around the circle (2 layers) and to the rest of the panel (2 layers). Use an anti-static powder tool inside the circle at the edges of the foam tape. This will help to remove the stickiness. I have a video of a similar shaker card if you need a visual instruction. You can go here.
    • Step 6 – Add sequins. Remove the release sheet from the foam tape. Adhere the circle backside created from Step 4. Use Clear Double Sided Adhesive to the circle and remove the release sheet. Now adhere the whole panel to the front of the card.
    • Step 7 – Stamp sentiment from Everyday Brush Strokes using Versamark on patterned paper. Sprinkle black embossing powder and heat it using a heat tool. Diecut Stitched Fishtail Banners to the sentiment. Trim the left side of diecut and adhere to card using Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape.

    This card can be used for any occasion by changing the patterned paper, color and/or sentiment. Below is a link to all Kat Scrappiness Products Used. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
