Create Your Own Plaid Paper with Memento

By LV Handcrafted

– Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). In today’s video I’m showing how to use your Memento Dew Drop inks to create a perfectly coordinated card. First, I created a background using Love Letter and Teal Zeal to create a plaid. I made a custom ink color by over-stamping multiple times with both colors!  I used Teal Zeal to create a coordinating solid color cardstock by just swiping it across white cardstock.  Finally, I smooshed Love Letter and Teal Zeal and used a waterbrush pen to color in my stamped image.  For the skin, I used Peanut Brittle and for the hair I used Espresso Truffle.

Skill: Beginner

Time: 20 minutes

Supplies Used

Imagine:

– Memento Dew Drop – Love Letter, Teal Zeal, Peanut Brittle, Espresso Truffle

Other Products Used:

Gel Press with Kaleidacolor and Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Sprays

By Alison Heikkila

Hello! Alison Heikkila here and I have a new YouTube video for Imagine today. We are going to start off with a little experimenting with a Gel Press, and then we’ll move on to finish a card. I love to try different inks and techniques on the Gel Press, and even if they don’t work out as I had hoped, the monoprints can always be used at a later date in a different way.

Compare 4 Different Mboss Powders on Kaleidacolor Gel Plate Printed Backgrounds

By Nancy May

How familiar are you with Kaleidacolor inkpads and Mboss Embossing Powder? Let’s take a look at one of the Kaleidacolor pads I have had for many years and see how it does on the gel plate. Then we’ll play a bit and see how 4 different Mboss Embossing powders impact the same basic Gelli printed background.
