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

    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…

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

  • Sending my Love

    Hello Friends Waleska Galindo here with a new blog post for Kat Scrappiness today I wanted to share a card I created with the newest released stencil Floating Dots and some oxide inks.

    CARD DETAILS:

    I started by inking a white panel with oxide inks in colors Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet and Blueprint Sketch I then used the floating dots stencil with white pigment ink.  I added some water splashes and some sparkly watercolor.

    I then cut the Sending Love word die and shadow from this panel and I created a no bulk shaker in the back of this panel adhering two acetate pieces together and adding some glitter inside.  I then added the word sending my love to the front of the shaker, I glue this piece to a white piece and added a black and a white cardstock.

    I finally added some White Round Confetti mix and this card is done! I hope you like this idea and remember there are 3 other designs of new stencils at the shop.  Have a great Day!

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

    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!

  • Did Somebody Say Cake?

    Did Somebody Say Cake?

     

    Hello hello hello, it’s Lisa from Oh So Cute By Lisa and I am so excited because I am up on the Kat Scrappiness blog today with a really fun card I made for my daughter’s friend’s birthday. I love to take out a bunch of different Kat Scrappiness dies and use them in new and creative ways.  Today I decided to make my own stencils with the Nested Layering Heart Dies. I needed to have a heart shaped stencil to do some ink blending in and I didn’t have anything like that.
    I started by taking the 3 smallest dies in the Nested Layering Heart Dies and cut them out of some 6×6 stencil sheets. I just love blank stencil sheets because you can create any stencil you want with dies that you already own. How’s that for getting double duty out of your supplies!
    I just love using my Distress Oxide Inks to do ink blending and I thought it would look really neat to do some ink blending over an embossed background.
    I took a piece of Bristol Smooth card stock and stamped a scripty text background stamp in Versamark embossing ink and sprinkled white embossing powder over the panel. I then heated it until the powder was smooth and melted.
    Next it was time to put my stencil to work. I placed my handmade heart stencil all over the panel in different positions even overlapping in certain spots and used 2 different color inks on each heart to get some beautiful blends. I had so much fun making a random pattern using my favorite colors.  I was sort of going for a rainbow effect as much as possible. I just love the look of the text being highlighted over the heart shapes.
    I’ll be honest, the ink blending looked way better than I thought it would. I was very happy with how it turned out! Once I liked the layout of the hearts, I used the largest die in the Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies to cut out the panel and give it a finished edge. I used a bright piece of pink card stock to matte the panel on so it would really stand out.
    For the sentiment I wanted a bold black die cut for the front and the Hooray w/ Shadow die was the perfect choice. I used a piece of vellum paper to back the black die cut and it looked great against the bright rainbow colors. The two smaller sentiment strips matched so well with white embossing on black paper!
    And last but not least, what card would be complete without some Sparkling Clear Droplets?
    I love how they let the color show through behind them!
    I love how this card turned out and I love how with a little creativity and imagination you can create anything you want. You just have to think outside the box sometimes!
    Here’s another picture with all of the fun Kat Scrappiness products I used on my card:

  • So Very Grateful

    So Very Grateful

    Hi Everyone!  It’s Heidi and I’m back with a card using a heat embossing technique with lots of shimmery gold.  I also do a little pop up with my front panel which adds an interesting detail.

    To start, I secured the leaf stencil from the Gina Marie Designs June Stencils Bundle to the front of a 4.25″x5.5″ white notecard using some Post-It tape.  Using a Versamark ink pad, I spread the ink evenly over the stencil.

    I then heat embossed the area with some Ranger Gold Embossing Powder.

    After cutting off the back of the notecard, I used the 6th square in the Never Ending Squares die set, to cut into the center of the embossed panel to creat two parts.

    I adhered the frame part to the front of another white notecard, then placed 2 layers of foam tape on the square.  I placed the square on top of the framed piece lining up the leaves exactly.

    I stamped Mudra’s Grateful Hollow sentiment stamp onto some vellum with Versafine Onyx, heat embossed it with Ranger Clear embossing powder, then cut that out with the 5th rectangle from the Never Ending Rectangle die set.  The Never Ending dies are perfect when you need a lot of precision on a card like this.  They create nice, clean, exact lines.

    I added the vellum piece to the square panel using some clear pop dots and added some Sparkling Manhattan Sequins to highlight the sentiment.

  • Halloween Card Using Customized Texture Paste

    Halloween Card Using Customized Texture Paste

    Hi Everyone!  It’s Heidi and I’m back with a cute Halloween card that is way more cheerful than scary.  I’ll be using the Never Ending Circle Dies along with Echo Park’s Bat’s #2 stencil and a fun stamp set from Gerda Steiner.

    I created a circle shaped card using the largest circle from the Never Ending Circles die set.  The fun part was creating my own shimmery texture paste using Ranger opaque Texture Paste,  Memento Tuxedo Black re-inker and some Sugar Glitter Paste.

    A fun, “pun” makes this a happy card to send to someone special.

    I have a video showing how I put this card together.  Enjoy!

  • SEAL AT SEA

    SEAL AT SEA

    Hello everyone, this is Mona back with fun art journal page using Kat Scrappiness brand new Seal dies.

    I started by using my Dylusions Creative Journal.  I gave a coat of gesso to my background.  I then applied two tones of blue paint to make the sky and my water.  I applied  some white  paint thru a stencil to give it dimension .  Next I took my script stamp and my Lawn Fawn Jet Black Ink to stamp at random places to finish off my background.

    Now for the fun part I die cut two seals and the iceberg then decided where I wanted them on my page. I proceeded to colour all my pieces using my copics. Then used my big brush markers to add snow mountains in the background and the shadows and highlights around my seals.  I made my sentiment using a large sharpie marker and highlighted with my Uniball White Gel Pen.

    This completes my mini tutorial, thanks for stopping by. I hope I see you again soon.

  • Happy Birthday…

    Hi everyone!

    Cheryl here, with a new DT post. I have a birthday card to share, so let’s get to it!

    I found a piece of polka dot paper in my stash and really wanted to use it. Came in a card kit, I believe, so I don’t know who it’s by, sorry. Kathleen sent me the stencil you see in the photo in my DT kit this month. So I white heat embossed it onto a piece of  Tim Holtz watercolor paper. I then got out my Distress Inks and went about to create a piece that would pull out some of the same colors as the patterned paper had. I believe it was Mustard Seed, Abandoned Coral, maybe some Worn Lipstick. Anyway, after it was dry I cut a piece of it using KS Stitched Fancy Scalloped Circle Dies. I got really brave and took the Lawn Fawn word die from my DT kit and cut it right out of that circle!!! Fingers were seriously crossed, lol. Anyway, I then cut the same word out of some white fun foam and glued the two together. I was sure to keep the tiny inside bits to put back in. I then mounted the scalloped piece to another circle slightly larger, cut out of  black cardstock.

    I took the sentiment and using liquid glue, I put it back into place and added a bit of weight till dry. I also took those tiny bits and glued them back in place.

    I took a black strip and stamped birthday and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I cut the ends into banner shapes and mounted with a bit of foam tape. I then pulled out some Fabrika Decoru enamel dot drops and some Nuvo enamel drops, along with a few stray star shaped sequins from my stash.

    I mounted the circle piece to my patterned paper and trimmed off the excess. I mounted that to a black card base and attached a piece of white cardstock to the inside to be able to write a message. When the entire card was finished I took some Glossy Accents and totally covered the word happy. I love how it’s so shiny!

    So there you have it! A really fun card with a few different techniques. Watercolor, heat embossing, and some die cutting. I love that stencils are so affordable and can really give a fun look at very little cost. I’d love a bunch of background stamps but they aren’t so cheap and stencils are, so I plan to add to my collection! Really, you can do more with them anyway, as to a stamp. Hope you got a bit of inspiration today.

    Happy Crafting!
