Craftangles June Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to the Craftangles June 2018 blog hop!

This month, we are focusing on Craftangles foils!

We start off the blog hop here, and then you can move on to

Rahmat's Blog

Leave a comment at every blog, to qualify to win goodies from Craftangles from Hndmd!

Here are my cards.

I have tried to use the foils in different ways and I had a lot of fun with this.

For the first card,

I started out by using a sheet of toner printed paper..

This is simply a sheet of paper which I printed out black in my laser printer.

Foil can only be heat transferred onto paper which is covered with toner.

I die cut the guitar and its detail piece (MFT dienamics) from this sheet.

I then used my laminator to heat transfer the red foil and the holographic foil.

Here is a video showing you how I transferred the foil onto the die cut.

I then used another fun technique to transfer foil onto the card base using just a glue stick!! No laminator needed!!!

Here is a video showing you how...

For the second card, I die cut the clouds (Mama Elephant dies) and the numbered balloons (Lawn Fawn dies) from the toner paper and foiled them exactly as shown in the video above.

I then put the card together using baker's twine and a simple sentiment from

My Favourite Things stamps.

For the third card, I used the left over die cuts from the clouds above and foiled them using Craftangles turquoise and blue foils.

Don't they make fantastic waves?

I used the glue stick technique to add some turquoise foil to the background too and then added a colourful mermaid (from the Craftangles 'Mermaid Kisses' stamp set).

I added a sentiment from the same stamp set to finish the card with a kraft card base.

I hope you have enjoyed this post.

Father's Day cards

Hello!

I have some more Father's Day cards for you today, to inspire you make some of your own!

The first card is fairly simple..

I started out with a square die cut panel of textured white cardstock on which I stamped with a Bo Bunny textured background stamp.

I stamped and fussy cut the bike (from an older Craftangles stamp set) .

I used the same background stamp to stamp over the bike so that the background blended in.

I stamped the sentiment ( Happy Father's Day) on the square panel and then adhered the bike using double sided foam tape.

I used the large alphabet dies from Stampin'Up to die cut the word DAD

from some black laser printed cardsheet.

I had some trouble foiling the letters, hence the somewhat distressed look. I like the look though, it makes it look a bit rough, and it goes well with the whole feel of the card.

I used double sided foam tape to adhere the word, and finished by placing the square panel on a square kraft card base.

The second card is even simpler...

I die cut the T shirt from MFt stamps' 'Masculine Graphic Tee stamp and die set'.

On this I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in white from the 'Happy Father's Day' stamp set.

I got this idea from a black T shirt that my husband wears!

I decided to keep this card really simple and monochromatic, so I used

the Craftangles 'stripes' stencil and Tim Holtz 'black soot' distress ink to create the background panel.

I then adhered this to a black card base.

I finished the the card by adhering the T shirt to the card using double sided foam tape.

I spent a little more time making this third card.

I used the lawn fawn magic slider die to create my slider window.

You can see how to use this die here.

I used Uchis design animation grid die to die cut a grid which I placed in the slider window.

I stamped the Uchis design background die on the slider panel behind the grid..you can see how it moves in the video below.

You can see videos on how to create animation cards here.

I then stamped, fussy cut and adhered the image from the Craftangles 'Dad you Rock' stamp set in front of the animation grid.

This is my first attempt at an animation card, so its not the best..but I like the effect it creates.

To finish the card, I die cut the word DAD and adhered it along with the sentiment using double sided foam tape and adding some Craftangles chip board stars.

I hope you enjoyed these cards, as much as I liked making them.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a great day!

Now for some inspiration...

To make a touch of gold tag, I first printed out a cardstock sheet of toner , which, I used to die cut the Spellbinders peacock feather.

I then used two different colours of Craftangles foil on this die cut.

Here is the beautiful result.

To make the tag, I used a scrap of blue cardstock to die cut a PaperTreyInk bookmark. I had previously stamped this scrap with peacocks to create a tone on tone look.

I then adhered the foiled die cut to the tag and added a blue ribbon to complete the tag.

Beautiful isn't it?

For the card, I used Simon Says Stamp Stitched square dies to cut two nesting squares out of the 'Colours of India' 6"x6" paper pack from Craftangles.

I then cut the final square out of green cardstock and heat embossed a mandala from the newly released 'Happy Diwali' stamp set from Craftangles, in gold.

I finished the card by adding a bit of May Arts ribbon with a golden bell for fun!

To Inspire you some more...

My very dear friend and cardmaking superstar
Neha Bhatt is my Guest designer this month
and she has some fabulous cards to inspire you!

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am back on my favourite challenge blog once again! The theme is “Touch of Gold”. With Diwali
approaching, I decided to make a card and a tag for the festive season.

For the card, I have used waffle flower’s Lacy Flower stamp as rangoli!
I embossed it with glitter gold
embossing powder by Brutus Manroe. It is hard to capture the jazzy look of it but it looks gorgeous
in person. I cut the panel using spellbinder die. To color the Rangoli, I used Candied Apple, Ground
Espresso and spiced marmalade distress inks. The sentiment is from Ranganjali. A thin wavy stripe of
golden glitter paper is added. A small floer from the same set is embossed, colored and tucked under
the panel to balance the design. I mounted the panel on similar colored but textured card base.

Tag is created using Papertrey Ink die. I lined the back side with a circle die cut blended using Candied Apple Distress oxide . I inlaid few flower centres, die cut using glitter paper. To finish it off, embossed sentiment in gold & tied some golden threads.

I hope you are inspired with my creations and will play along!

Thank you Paru for this opportunity! Wish to be back soon! Have a crafty festive season !

Diwali cards using Craftangles foils

Hello!

I have been addicted to foiling ever since Craftangles has released their brilliant foils!

Here are some Diwali cards and tags that I have made using these foils.

To make the shaker tag below, I have heat embossed the Ganesh image with clear embossing powder before using the gold foil.

After many trials, I found that I must ensure that the clear embossing powder is even and not splotchy. Only then does it get covered evenly with the foil, when put through the laminator.

There has been a lot of discussion about the way to apply the foil. I have achieved best results by putting the laser printed image or heat embossed image through a laminator, along with the foil.

I created another Shaker tag using playing card die cuts as shaker elements. For the background, I heat embossed and foiled the fireworks and Diwali sentiment

from Craftangles Happy diwali stamp set.

For this card, I die cut the beautiful diwali sentiment from Diecuts and more, from a sheet of black toner paper...which is nothing more than a sheet of black that I printed out on my laser printer.

I then used the Craftangles copper foil which covered this die cut so beautifully.

I diecut the same sentiment from a background panel and then dry embossed the panel with paisleys.

Finally I inlaid the diecut to complete the simple card.

I finished it off by adding a few Craftangles clear sequins.

I am submitting this card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday 'add a sentiment' challenge.

This card below, is by far my favourite!

I die cut this beautiful diya from Diecuts and more from toner paper and then used the Craftangles rainbow foil to cover it.

Once done, I diecut a piece of white fun foam with the same die and used it to pop up the diya on the dry embossed background.

Here, I used the negative piece of the rainbow foil that I used above to create another diya.

For this diya, I first clear heat embossed a piece of paper and then run it with the negative foil piece through the laminator. Once done, I trimmed the diya and popped it up on the dry embossed Craftangles sapphire blue card background with some foam tape.

I finished both the cards with some Craftangles clear sequins.

I hope I have inspired you to try out some foils and have some fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!

New Craftangles stamps and foils

Hello!

This month's DT pack from Craftangles was filled with amazing goodies!!

Here is what I made using the newly released Craftangles stamp sets ('Mermaid kisses', 'Girl in the rain' and 'Everyday sentiments')and the absolutely amazing Craftangles foil!!!

To make these cards I created a base panel by smooshing some Tim Holtz and Artistry distress ink and embossing some swirls.

I watercolored and fussy cut the mermaid image and popped it up with double sided foam tape.

To make these cards, I used the laser printed panels that were included to use the newly released Craftangles foils.

I then matted the panel using the fabulous Craftangles coloured cardstock and sequins.

For the final card, I used a Winnie and Walter free download to foil the background using Craftangles purple foil.

I also die cut the word hugs using the Winnie and Walter die, out of a sheet of laser printed black sheet or toner paper.

I then ran this die cut and foil through the laminator to foil the die cut.

I matted the sunflower panel (Craftangles 'Every sentiments' stamp set) on a piece of Craftangles green cardstock which I dry embossed using a Darice embossing folder.

I then popped up the panel using funfoam.

I really enjoyed making these cards for this post!

I hope I have inspired you to try out these fabulous products.

Here is a fabulous video on how you can use foil on your projects!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great day!
