    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…

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

  • Patriotic Birthday Card

    Patriotic Birthday Card

    Good morning Kat Scrappiness fans!

    I hope everyone who celebrates the 4th of July had a safe and enjoyable day yesterday!

    In honor of the 4th I thought I’d use the new

    Crafter’s Essentials 1 dies to share a patriotic birthday card with you!

    The Crafter’s Essentials dies have 13 individual dies in the package and there are literally an endless number of combinations available for making cards.  These dies are a cardmaker’s best friend! There is a great picture showcasing 9 different sketches as examples using these dies in the picture shown below.

    My card was a quick and easy one to make and I decided to use quite a few different embossing folders on the card to give it a lot of texture.

    I used polka dot folders on the card background and mini polka dots on the letters from the Condensed Lowercase Alphas.

    The smaller white panel was embossed with a brick background folder and the circle die was run through my paper crimper to give it some texture as well.

    I heat embossed my sentiment from Everyday Brush Strokes on to the blue strip across the circle in white.  I popped the circle, stars, white panel, sentiment and letters on foam tape to give it even more dimension.  Here is a picture of all the supplies used.

  • Patriotic Thanks

    Hi Friends! kel here today to share a patriotic card using the new Swatches stamp set!!

    This one is semi-quick and simple because I’m putting together a whole bunch of cards to send over to a friend who collects cards and sends them to troops stationed overseas! So I needed to be able to make a small stack of these cards fairly quickly, and wanted to stick with a simple layout.

    I stamped the star from the new Swatches stamp set all over the background with my Versamark Ink Pad before heat embossing it so that it stood out nicely. I used clear embossing powder to make sure that my stars would stay nice and bright white!

    Then I went over the background with some blue Distress Inks and my blending tool. I used Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Chipped Sapphire, starting with the lightest color (Tumbled Glass) in the middle and working my way out with the darkest color (Chipped Sapphire) at the edges. The last thing I did was add the “thanks” sentiment, stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. For the record, I LOVE using this Memento black ink pad for stamping sentiments because it makes a nice dark print.

    Love this Swatches stamp set! So many uses for these stamps, and I can’t wait to actually make some swatches with it too haha!!
