Make a Fall Turnabout Card

Posted on by

By Ceal Pritchett

Hey there crafty friends! It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing how I made this colorful fall card using a turnabout stamp set, some VersaFine ink pads and the Stampwheel.

Time: 45 Minutes
Skill: Intermediate

Directions:

Gather Supplies:
I haven’t shared a turnabout card here yet and I wanted to do that because they are my favorites. Gather your supplies, you will need a stamp platform, a Turnabout stamp and some of your favorite inks. I love VersaFine Clair because they are so vibrant.

Step 1:
Line up our turnabout stamp using the alignment guide that comes with the stamp. The Stampwheel is easy to line it up because you line up the lines.

Step 2:
Ink up the stamp with the first color, I used Carrot Orange and placed it in the tabs at the top of the stamp wheel. I labeled my stamp wheel 1-4 so I would know where I am when stamping.

Step 3:
Rotate the top, ink up the stamp with the next color (I used Warm Breeze) and place the plate down in the tabs.

Step 4:
Rotate the plate and ink up with the next color, I used Golden Meadow (I think I had some blue left on my stamp therefore it turned green).

Step 5:
Rotate the plate and ink up the final color, I used Chianti. Next cut down your panel to 5 x 3.5 and adhere to the wheat panel

Step 6:
Die cut the sentiment and backer panel. I love how the die has where it scores the words into the backer so when you go to add the letters they fit perfectly.  To finish the card add the sentiment to the card.

Independence Day Celebration Card

Posted on by

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

• VersaFine Clair – Strawberry
• Squeegee

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.
