Independence Day Celebration Card

By Ceal Pritchett

Hello crafty friends!
It’s Ceal, back to share another project with you.  We always have a cookout on the 4th of July and invite our family. I always make invitations to send out for it and I am sharing the one I made for this year.

Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Time: 45 minutes to an hour

Directions:

Gather your supplies. You will need an A2 card base, blue cardstock strips, a white panel, gold foil paper, star dies, a stencil that has July 4th elements on it, Ink, and paste of some sort.

Step 1:
Place the white panel in the Misti or other stamp positioner on a grip or sticky mat. Mask off portions of the panel that you do not want ink on. Using Red (VersaFine Clair Strawberry used here ) ink and a blending tool cover the celebrate with ink. Remove stencil and clean for next step.

Step 2:
Lay the firework part of the stencil over the part that you just inked up and mask off the portion of the card so the paste will not get on it.

Step 3:
Using a squeegee spread the paste (I used gold) over the firework part of the stencil. Be sure to clean the squeegee and the stencil promptly because the paste will harden.

Step 4:
Add the star to the center of the firework and the blue strips of cardstock to each end of the panel. Add panel to the card base

Art Supplies:

Imagine Products:
• VersaFine Clair – Strawberry
• Squeegee

Other Supplies:

• Grip Mat – Waffle Flower Crafts
• Celebrate Stencil – Pink & Main

Elegant Card for a Wedding or Engagement

Posted on by

By Ceal Pritchett

Hello crafty friends!
It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing how to create a simple but elegant wedding card. 

Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Time: 45 Minutes

Directions:

Gather your supplies. You will need a stamp set with a floral image and wedding sentiments. An A2 sized die and some wedding themed dies, a stamp positioner and a shimmer ink pad.

Step 1:
Using a Misti or stamp positioner and a grip mat place the cardstock panel in the center. Place the floral stamp on the corner of the panel and ink with shimmer ink (I used Delicata Silvery Shimmer) stamp, you may have to stamp more than once to get a clean image. Turn your paper, no need to move the stamp thanks to the Misti and ink it up and stamp again on the other corner. This ink is a pigment ink therefore it takes a little longer to dry, you can speed that up by heat setting it.

Step 2:
Cut the panel with the die keeping both pieces. Also cut out the wedding themed dies.

Step 3:
Place the card base in the corner of the Misti and then glue the borer of your die cut pieces down first. I always place it in the corner of the Misti, this helps me line it up.

Step 4:
Add the main die cut piece using foam tape to give it dimension.
Tip: after adding the foam adhesive to the panel also add some liquid glue, this allows you to move the panel to get it in place.

Stamp the greeting on a strip of paper and cut it out. Add all of the elements to the card.
