Hello Friends! Katy here with my latest video showcasing the fabulous Delicata inks. These are my favorite shimmer inks and they showcase great with today’s project. Video has all the details. Thanks for watching.
Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. Have you tried stamping on colored cardstock before? My go-to cardstock for stamping is Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, but I wanted to change it up today. You can achieve a completely different look by stamping on colored cardstock. I chose to stamp on green and khaki cardstock today to make the images look more realistic and natural.
Step 1: Trim a piece of Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock to 3 ¾” x 5”. Then, use the leaf embosser dies from Stampin’ Up’s Nature’s Root die set to create a leafy patterned embossed background.
Step 2: Once the base panel is created, we can move on to stamping. I decided to stamp on Environment Desert Storm cardstock today. If you have only tried stamping on Classic Crest Solar White cardstock before, I highly recommend trying the Environment Desert Storm cardstock as well! It’s a great neutral alternative and the final look is so different. The VersaFine Clair Sand Dune ink looks like a richer, darker shade when stamped on Environment Desert cardstock.
Step 3: Next, dab VersaFine Clair Acorn ink to the outer edges of the stamp with a sponge dauber to create a more realistic look.
Step 4: For the leaf stamp, I picked DCS Canvas Textured Galax Olive Green Cardstock. This cardstock has an embossed texture, but it’s surprisingly easy to stamp on with VersaFine Clair Shady Lane ink pad. You can see that the textured surface did not hide any of the vein details from the stamp.
Step 5: After all of the images have been stamped, die cut or fussy cut them with scissors. I also die cut a berry branch with DCS Gold Glitter Heavyweight 12 x 12 cardstock. This die is from Stampin’ Up’s Flourish die set.
Step 6: I stamped “Thank You” with VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink pad for the sentiment. Lastly, I tied twine around the background panel to add another natural touch to the card. Then I adhered all of the die cut and stamped elements, and the card is complete!
– Thanksgiving cards are a great way to send our thoughts and love to those who are celebrating far away.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 2 hours
Directions:
Step 1: Stamp a variety of pumpkin stamps and a squash with Summertime VersaFine Clair Ink on watercolor paper. Color the stems of each of the pumpkins and squash with Emerald Fabrico Dual Marker. Heat emboss all of the images with clear embossing powder.
Die cut each of the images with their corresponding die.
Step 2: Die cut a piece of watercolor paper with a background die cut set. (This die also created additional smaller die cuts that will be used later in the card.) The die cut was colored by swiping Potter’s Clay Memento Ink, followed by coloring the edges of the panel with Rich Cocoa Memento Dual Marker, ink blending the edges of the boxes with leftover Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink on a sponge dauber, and then swiping the whole panel with Celestial Copper Delicata Ink. Splatter the panel with a both Rich Cocoa and Tuxedo Black Memento Dual Markers mixed with water.
Step 3: Press the frames inside each of the panel’s windows into the Celestial Copper Delicata Ink pad to color them. Heat emboss each of them with clear embossing powder.
Step 4: Watercolor smoosh the window die cuts with Tangerine Fabrico Dual Marker mixed with water. Splatter the die cuts with the leftover watercolor smooshing mix. Set aside to dry.
Step 5: Stamp a sentiment from the stamp set on the right edge of the largest die cut window with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink. Shift the die cut a little to the right and stamp the sentiment again with Celestial Copper Delicata ink to create a shadow effect. Heat emboss the sentiment with more clear embossing powder.
Step 6: Use a pumpkin shaped stamp with small flowers and foliage images to stamp each of the four other (smaller) window dies with Celestial Copper Delicata Ink to create additional interest. Then use washi tape on the back of the panel to hold all of the background die cuts together.
Step 7: Die cut the leaf branch die cut out of watercolor paper and swipe Potter’s Clay Memento ink across the die cut. Then color the stems with the Rich Cocoa Memento Dual Marker and scribble over some of the uncolored parts of the leaves with Tangerine Fabrico Dual Marker. Spray Dandelion Fireworks! Craft Spray on a piece of acetate and press the leaf die cut into the spray to add shine and color. Once that dried, spray the whole die cut with Frosth Shimmer Craft Spray.
Step 8: Glue the die cut leaf cluster on the lower left corner of the card panel. Then glue one of the larger pumpkins and the gourd on the lower left corner of the card. Add the shorter pumpkin die cut over the other die cuts with foam tape. Glue the whole thing onto a card base to finish the card.

~ Hello Friends! Katy here with my latest video using Brilliance Metallic Ink and a couple VersaFine Clair inks while showing you how to create the perfect box for stamping. Video has all the details. Thanks for watching.
Other Products Used Watercolor Paper, Cardstock or Vellum Hole Punch – I used 1/8th inch Score board Reversible Tweezers (optional, but helpful) Adhesive Bone Folder or Scoring Tool of choice I used BetterPress System, but any stamps will do.
– I wanted to decorate a small brown bag before reusing it as a gift bag for a coworker’s gift. This card was quick and easy but looks really pretty and features VersaFine Clair Inks.
Skill: Beginner Time: 1 hour
Directions
Step 1: Stamp a solid organic circle shape with Lemonade VersaFine Clair Ink on the edges of a small brown paper bag. Repeat on the back of the bag.
Step 2: Quickly stamp two different solid leaf stamps with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink over the two Lemonade circles. Add clear embossing powder over both the Lemonade-colored circles and the black leaves and heat emboss them. Repeat the process on the back of the bag.
Step 3: Stamp the splatter wreath twice on the bag with Baby Pink VersaFine Clair Ink–once on the upper right corner of the bag and once on the central right part of the bag. Then heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Repeat on the other side of the bag.
Step 4: Stamp a row of small hearts on the bag twice with Dahlia Purple VersaFine Clair Ink. Heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Repeat on the back of the bag.
Step 5: Stamp the same solid leaf stamps from step 2 with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink inside the splatter leaf stamps. Heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Repeat on the back side of the bag.
