Just Because Mini-Slimline Cards

 Hi friends. Alanna back with you on the blog today and our focus this week is on the Katkin Krafts brand.

I have a pair of mini slimline cards to share with you today. They measure about 6.25x3.75 inches. For my cards, I started by trimming down papers from the Pigment Infusions 6x6 collection from Craft Consortium and then I stamped directly onto them with the Dance with Dahlias set from Katkin Krafts. I love all the detail in these images, and they would look great colored, but I chose to just stamp them with my favorite Versafine Claire Nocturne ink.

After my stamping was done, I added the panels to my white notecards. I then added the stamped sentiments which are from Heffy Doodle's More Classic Sentiments set. I finished off the cards by adding in some white pearls.

Snarky Mixed Media Fun: Adding Sass with Gel Prints & Embossing!

 

Hello crafty friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here, bringing you a snarky little card perfect for those days when sweet sentiments just won’t cut it. Today, I’m diving into my stash of gel press prints and decided it was time to put one of them to good use. I know we all have those prints hanging around just waiting for the right moment to shine, right? Well, this one made with PaperArtsy Fresco Paints in the oh-so-bold Tango and Persimmon is the star of today's show.

First, let’s talk stencils. I couldn’t wait to bust out my new PaperArtsy Kate Crane PS428 stencil. Seriously, how could I resist? I grabbed my embossing ink and gently spread it through the stencil, followed by the magical sprinkle of WOW! Embossing Powder in Tarnished Teal.

But of course, no snarky card is complete without a little attitude. That’s where the AALL & Create Sharp Tongues Ephemera comes in. These cheeky little pieces add the perfect dash of sarcasm and sass to tie the card together. Because sometimes, the sentiment “Have a great day!” just needs a little edge.

 

So there you have it! A quick, mixed-media card with a blend of texture, color, and personality. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope your weekend is as colorful and bold as this card. Until next time — stay snarky, my friends!

Celebrating Fall with AALL & Create

 Hello, Lisa Hoel here. It's finally September! I'm ready for fall weather and colors so I was inspired to create an autumn themed card using the AALL & Create Garden Times stamp as a focal image.

I raided my stash of monoprints made with a Gel Press Plate for the layer under the main image. (It pays to have a stash!)

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It's Tuesday, so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. However, first it's time to remind you that the Labor Day Sale ends tonight, Tuesday, 9/3/24 at 11:59 P.M. There are loads of wonderful new (and old) products in the store, so I'd pop over there right now!

This week our theme is "Anything Goes", so I've made a Halloween themed MemoryDex card with the Summer Splendour Die Set 50 by AALL and Create. the Devil Dee Clear Stamp Set 955 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create with a sentiment from the Miss Merry Clear Stamp Set 608 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create, and Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps.

Here's my MemoryDex card, that will be part of a Halloween album!

Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko was used to stamp the devilish Miss Dee from the Devil Dee Clear Stamp Set 955 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create onto white cardstock. I fussy-cut the image, colored it with Copic markers, added white highlights with a white gel pen, edged the fussy-cut image with a black multiliner. Some black ink messed up my golden pitchfork handle but a Bronze Metallic Marker from the Essential Metallic Colorista Markers by Spectrum Noir set came to the rescue. Miss Devil Dee was set aside.

The MemoryDex Die from the Summer Splendour Die Set 50 by AALL and Create was used to cut Bristol Paper. Sundance Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps was sponged over the entire die-cut. Russet Orange and Emperor Red Elements Inks were each sponged from the bottom of the die-cut toward the top. 

Russet Orange, Emperor Red, Merlot, and Graphite Elements Inks were sponged over a flames stencil to give Miss Devil Dee a suitable background.

Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko was used to stamp the Halloween appropriate sentiment from the Miss Merry Clear Stamp Set 608 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create onto the MemoryDex die-cut.

Graphite Elements Ink was used to edge the MemoryDex die-cut and Devil Dee was adhered to finish the card.

Get Well Soon Washi Cards

 Hi friends. Alanna with you today sharing this pair of cards made with the Thriving Terrarium washi tape from AALL & Create. In full disclosure, I purchased all of their washi tapes that create small scenes or images so these are not the last of these types of cards you will see from me. :) I just think this washi is so much fun! If you want to see other cards I've made using this type of washi tape, click here, here, and here.

To get started, I rolled out the four lengths of washi needed to create the image onto some white card stock. I then took one of the dies from the Heart Marks the Spot die set from AALL & Create and die cut the image. This particular die just cuts a circle with lines going around. There is no outer cut line. I then trimmed my panels down and rounded the corners.

I took some paper from the Ombre paper collection from Craft Consortium and stamped my sentiment which is from the Go to Words set from Visible Image. I added my panels to white A2 notecards and then added my succulent images with foam tape. Some enamel dots from my stash finish off these cards.
