Hello crafty friends. It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a Mickey and Minnie Birthday card with you. I am a long time Disney fan and I have a couple Disney sets of Disney characters in my stash.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 45 Minutes
Directions:
Gather your supplies. You will need a set of fictional characters that you’re a fan of, markers, black ink, colored ink, and a white gel pen.
Step 1: Stamp the image using black ink. I used VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.
Step 2: Stamp the image again on Post-it note paper or masking paper using black ink.
Step 3: Fussy cut the images out and cover the images that were stamped on the panel. Then using a colored ink blend a circle of ink around the images. I used one of the newest colors of VersaFine Clair, Lemonade.
Step 4: Remove the mask and color the images with markers. I used the Memento marker, Love Letter.
Step 5: Using a white gel pen, add polka dots to Minnie’s dress. To finish the card, add a greeting (I went with birthday) and adhere the panel to an A2 card base.
Summer in the Pacific Northwest is filled with beautiful flowers and the bluest sky. I know I appreciate them so much more since most of the year is so soggy. To celebrate the season, I made a colorful card filled with flowers.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 2 hours
Directions:
Step 1: Stamp the large floral image onto watercolor paper with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
Then die cut the flower with the corresponding die. Also die cut a piece of vellum with the same die cut.
Step 2: Watercolor the floral image. The larger two flowers were watercolored with Angel Pink Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray, the center of the largest flower with Dandelion Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray, and the leaves with Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray. The smallest flower was watercolored with a mix of Rose Bud Memento Dual Marker mixed with more Angel Pink Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray. After everything dried, the smallest flower’s color was made darker by adding a second layer of the combination of Rose Bud Memento Dual Marker mixed with Angel Pink Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray.
To cover up a few small blemishes, lightly splatter Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray over the flowers. Set aside to dry.
Step 3: Spray Lilac Posies Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray through a stencil on a watercolor panel.
After the spray dried, die cut the panel with a mid-sized die from an A2-sized nesting die set. While at the die cutting machine, die cut a piece of glossy white cardstock with the next largest die from the A2-sized nesting die set.
Step 4: Ink blend Lilac Posies Memento Ink through selected parts of a second stencil. Then mix Gold irRESISTible Pico Embellisher with a little water to dilute it and use a small paintbrush to paint other parts of the stencil with the Gold irRESISTible onto the panel. Allow to dry.
Then press the Lilac Posies Memento Ink pad along the edge of the panel to add color to the edges of the panel.
Step 5: Press the Lilac Posies Memento Ink pad onto a small scrap of watercolor paper and allow to dry. Then die cut the colored scrap of watercolor paper with the sentiment die.
Also die cut a piece of vellum with the shadow layer of the sentiment as well as a couple of scraps of cardstock with the sentiment die.
Assemble the sentiment by gluing the three die cuts together. Then glue them onto the shadow layer of vellum and set the whole thing aside.
Step 6: Assemble the card. Glue the vellum floral die cut onto the stenciled panel. Use foam tape to adhere the stamped floral image at an angle, allowing the vellum layer to peek out from underneath for extra dimension. Glue the sentiment on the lower left corner of the panel. Add purple and hot pink sequins around the floral image with more glue. Then attach the panel to the glossy cardstock matte layer. To finish the card, glue the whole card panel onto an A2-sized white cardbase.

Hello crafty friends! I am a big fan of tote bags. I love it for its multi-purposes and is big enough for carrying stuff. I always wanted to personalize my own tote bag. I am so glad that Imagine carries these amazing VersaCraft Ink Pads and Fabrico Markers for fabric projects. So, today we are going to personalize a tote bag together. Let’s get crafting!
Skill: Beginner Time: 15 minutes
Direction:
Step 1
You are gonna need a blank canvas tote bag that can be found easily in any craft stores and online stores. The tote bag I used today is about 13 inch x 15 inch.
Lay it flat on the ironing mat and iron the tote bag to remove the wrinkles. I pre-washed the bag, but it is an optional step if you want to do it.
Put a piece of cardboard or cardstock inside the bag that is big enough to cover the area where you will stamp or paint or draw. Secure it with some washi tapes or any low-tack tapes.
Step 2
Start stamping the tote bag with the largest image.
Put the largest butterfly on a stamping blog and cover it with the VersaCraft Real Black ink. Stamp it on the tote bag and press it firmly for a few seconds.
I used the “rule of three” to position the butterflies, from here I can fill the empty spaces to build up the pattern.
Step 3
Next is stamping with the second largest image.
Put the stamp on a stamping blog and cover it with the VersaCraft Real Black ink around the big butterfly. Stamp it on the tote bag and press it firmly for a few seconds.
Step 4
Next is the smallest size of the stamp to fill up the rest of the empty space. You will start to see the full pattern on the bag.
Put the butterfly stamp on a stamping blog and cover it with the VersaCraft Real Black ink. Stamp it on the tote bag and press it firmly for a few seconds.
If you plan to have some sentiment or words like I did, make sure you have space for it.
Step 5
I picked the phrase “Spread your wings” to be on my canvas tote bag.
Stamp each letter from the alpha stamp set with VersaCraft Real Black ink pad.
Step 6
Trace the letters with Fabrico Real Black Marker for bolder print on the canvas tote bag.
Step 7
This final step is optional. You can use an iron to set the ink to the canvas tote bag. But without ironing, the ink will dry permanently in 24 hours (do not get it wet).
I would suggest spot-cleaning the bag, or hand-washing it if the bag gets dirty.
I hope you will give this technique a try and play around with different colors. This personalized tote bag can be made for your own use or as a gift for others.
