In today’s tutorial I will show you how to create a background paper that will allow your photo(s) to shine on a scrapbook layout. Using Memento Inks that match the photo allows the photo to be the center star of the layout. All the embellishments will also match by coloring with the same inks. The background itself is super quick and simple, and can be used for cards as well as layouts.
Skill: Beginner
Time: 30 Minutes
Select ink colors that are in the photo you wish to highlight. In my case it is one of my favorite photos from our travels to Oahu when we climbed to the top of Koko Head. The stunning blue, brown, and green directed my choice of ink colors. In this step Memento in Peanut Brittle is brayered randomly over a sheet of canvas textured white cardstock. Cover about a third of the cardstock in varying levels of ink layers. The key to this technique is to not look for perfection, just go for a fun look!
Memento Bahama Blue is used to ink the next layer in the background. A good quality rubber balloon is filled with popcorn and tied off. This is used to ink with random size dots in varying ink intensities on the background covering about one more third of the paper.
A second balloon filled with rice gives a slightly different ink look for the last layer using Memento Olive Grove. Fill in the remaining open areas on the cardstock to finish the background.
The embellishments are shown here as one step, as the main focus of this tutorial is the background technique. Smooth texture cardstock is used for all the embellishments as it die cuts more cleanly. A frame of white cardstock is trimmed to 7 1/2 “ x 5 1/2 “ and inked with Memento Luxe in Peanut Brittle. The Luxe ink blends a little more easily over larger areas. The title is die cut in triplicate, then adhered together with small dots of On Point Glue around the die cuts to add dimension, and finally inked with Memento in Danube Blue. A die cut of the island of Oahu is inked in Memento Olive Grove.
When the photo was layered over the frame the match between the soil and the Peanut Brittle was so close, they blended together! The edges of the photo are inked with StazOn in Jet Black to add definition to all edges of the photo, and allow the photo to stand out from the frame.
A journal block is written on the computer and printed out using photo settings and trimmed to size. A frame is trimmed 1/4” larger than the journal block and inked in Memento Danube Blue. The two are adhered together with Tear It! Tape.
The elements of the layout are placed on the background and adhered with Tear It! Tape or On Point Glue. Memento Dual Tip Marker in Tuxedo Black is used to mark a small “X” as to the location of Koko Head on the Island of Oahu.

Hi there, Kathy here with Imagine Crafts with a new tutorial. My space is limited so by using VersaColor pigment inks, I can reduce the amount of colored card stock I need on hand.
VersaColor pigment inks are bright and bold and coupled with the Delicata Golden Glitz it’s a winning combination.
Skill Level: Intermediate
Time to Complete: 1 hour with drying time
You will need a card base measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2“. You will also need a panel that measures 4“ x 3 1/2“. I have also used the Rainbow Builder and Rainbow Accent dies from Honey Bee Stamps. You will die-cut the rainbow card and the rainbow stripes from the accent set.
Using VersaColor & Delicata pigment inks, use Imagine Crafts sponge daubers to apply your ink to the rainbow stripes. I used the Delicata Golden Glitz for the smallest stripes. Allow these pieces to dry.
On the smaller card panel I used a stencil from Simon Says Stamp called Interlocking Circles Good Luck Charm. It is a Layered Stencil but I only used two of the layers. I used a heavy amount of Delicata Golden Glitz on the squares and a light amount on the diamonds. I also used the Daubers to ink around the edges of this panel. On the front of the card panel, I splattered some gold watercolor paint. I stamped a sentiment from Pink & Main, Spring Sentiments Stamp Set onto white card stock using the Delicata Golden Glitz Ink. I used my paper trimmer to cut the sentiment to size.
Next use Imagine Craft On Point glue to adhere your stripes to the rainbow card die-cut. I used Imagine Crafts Tear-It tape to adhere the rainbow card to the stencil panel. I also used Imagine Crafts On Point glue to adhere the sentiment to the front of the rainbow. Foam tape was used on the back of the stencil panel to adhere it to the card base.

Hello Friends! Katy here with something a bit different today. I am using some All-Purpose Inks and Ink Potion Number 9 to do some painting on canvas. I did some research and could’t find anything that shows All-Purpose Inks being used on canvas so I thought I would share my experience today.
I used the All-Purpose Inks to create a Coastal painting and used some sea shells, sharks teeth and a small pelican feather that my husband and I have found on our many beach walks over the years.
Check out the video below to see how this came together and get some tips and tricks for painting on canvas with the All-Purpose Inks and Potion Number 9.

Hello there! In today’s crafting tutorial I want to show you how to make the traditional thumping technique but this time using ink pads and not markers! To make my card, I used the large size of Memento Inks but it can be made with the Memento Drops too or with any other type of ink. This is an easy and fun summer card for any occasion.
Skill Level: Beginner
Time to Complete: 30 Minutes
Select the stamp set that you prefer. To make most evident this technique you can use solid stamps. Additionally, pick the colors of ink that you wanted to use. I am using two, Memento Ink Bamboo Leaves and Tangelo.
Ink your stamp with the first color. In my case Memento Bamboo Leaves.
Without stamp the image over the cardstock, ink the stamp partially with the second colors. Keep in mind the parts that you want to look with different shadows.
Stamp the image over a piece of cardstock.
TIP: Clean the second ink pad with a dry towel to avoid contamination of the colors.
You can repeat the above step if you want to obtain darker colors. Stamp a sentiment using a contrast color to complete your card.
Resize the layer with, paste the sentiment and add the decorative layer over a card base. If you want, you can use your favorite crafty foam to add more dimension to your card.
