How To Create A Dimensional Spring Bouquet With Memento Inks

Posted on March 15, 2023 by Imagine

By Katy Ingram

Hello Friends! Katy here and today I am sharing how I used Memento Dew Drop Inks to create a dimensional Spring bouquet.

In todays video tutorial I am sharing how I use the perfectly pointed end of the Memento Dew Drop Inks to layer ink colors on a silhouette stamp. I then die cut them out and create a vellum wrap to go around my bouquet. In the video I also follow up on the Press n Seal barrier that I added to my StazOn Pigment ink pad to see if it keeps it from drying out. It has been about three months since I added the barrier, watch the video below to see if it worked.

How To Create A Gilded Celtic Background With All Purpose And Delicata Inks

Posted on March 6, 2023 by Imagine

By Katy Ingram –

Hello Friends! Katy here and today I am excited to share this really cool background technique.

In today’s video tutorial, I am sharing how I use some All Purpose Inks, Delicata Inks and a 3D embossing folder to create a Gilded/Aged Celtic background. I have to admit I am in love with these backgrounds and in the video I show two ways to create it and both give different results depending on how you apply the ink. I also give some alternatives to the products I am using in the video, so be sure and watch to find out what they are. This technique will work with any embossing folder and I will for sure be using it with other folders I have in my stash.

How To Create a Mixed Media Valentine

Posted on January 30, 2023 by Imagine

By Katy Ingram

Hello Friends! Katy here and today I am using a variety of products to create this Love You card.

In today’s video tutorial I do some ink blending with VersaFine Clair Verdant and Warm Breeze. I haven’t used these two colors for ink blending before and they blended really well and the colors coordinate perfectly together. I used a heart stencil with VersaFine Clair Paradise to blend over the ink blended panel and then added some Sheer Shimmer Stix in Frost for a bit of shimmer. I also pulled out some irRESISTible Spray in Paris Dusk and Silver to create some splatter. I finished the panel off by die cutting the words love and you with some metallic blue cardstock. Check out the video to see the process in action. I hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by.
