Hello Friends! Katy here with another quick project for you. Today’s card is for Independence Day here in America, coming up on July 4th and I thought I would use my supplies to create an American Flag. I used a diagonal stencil to create my stripes and some sponge swiping to create my blue section and some splatter for my stars. Some simple techniques with minimal supplies to add to your card making arsenal.
Video below has all the details. I hope you enjoy.
Hello Friends! Katy here with another project for you. Today’s card features a wedding day theme, but as always you can use this design for what ever you need! In fact, I used it for a sympathy card when I first designed it.
In todays video I share how I used detail blending brushes to create a peach blend on some Lily florals using VersaFine Clair in Summertime and Charming Pink. I also add a bit of shimmer using Sheer Shimmer Stix Dauber in Frost. Check out the video below for all the details.

I decided to do a monochromatic theme. What’s that mean really? Well that simply means consisting of one color or hue. Today’s color or hue is blue. Great for masculine. Todays project also allows us to stretch our supplies by using a holiday background stamp, genius I know. Check out the video below for all the details.

Hi! I’m Linh – or LV Handcrafted on social media. I live in Seattle, WA with my husband and our two dogs. I’ve been crafting since I was in high school but took a long break as I started my career. Now (many years later) I am my own boss working as a business consultant, so I can balance my time and do more of what I love – papercrafting! There’s always so much to learn in papercrafting, and I find great joy in adding my own twist and sharing what I’ve learned. I love Imagine products. There’s such a wide range of media supplies. It’s so fun to experiment, have a bit of a play and create something exciting. I’m honored to be a part of this amazing team.
Hi! I am Helen. I am a stay-at-home wife and a mom of 2 daughters. I grew up in Indonesia and now live in Ohio with my family. I am working at home part time as a translator. I love paper crafting, Bible Journaling, working on mixed media and DIY projects. I love coffee, tea, and dark chocolate.
Hello crafty friends! My name is Jessica Lin. You may have recognized me or seen some of my previous projects, and I am so excited to be back on Imagine’s design team! I am a crafty gal in my late twenties, but my passion for cardmaking started a long time ago when I was 9. I was introduced to wooden stamps and I haven’t stopped stamping since. Some of my other hobbies include sewing, washi tape collaging, and I hope one day I’ll learn how to crochet, too.
I grew up in Taiwan and speak Mandarin as my mother tongue, so my YouTube channel is mostly filmed in Chinese. This year, I decided to create a bilingual Instagram account. If you are inspired by bold, vibrant colors and enjoy detailed projects with lots of layers, come have a visit! I look forward to meeting and crafting with all of you!
I am Ceal Pritchett and I reside in the mountains of western North Carolina with my husband and our little fur baby Shih Tzu. I have been a crafter in some form since childhood. I fell in love with cardmaking around 15 years ago. I am a clean and simple cardmaker who sometimes dabbles in other things like art journals, bible journaling, and painting.
Anna Escalada York grew up on a farm outside of Phoenix, Arizona and moved to Portland, Oregon to go to college, where she met her husband. They have two children (one in high school and the other in middle school), a cat and two guinea pigs. She is also a proud teacher at her local high school for almost 20 years in SE Portland, Oregon (go Lightning)! Her other hobbies are reading, riding her bike, nerding out to Star Wars, and reading.
Anna has been crafting (almost exclusively card making) since 2004, but stepped away for a while when it was too hard to juggle the demands of being a mom of little children and working full time. She returned to her craft room in 2019 and started blogging consistently in 2020. One of her recent crafty achievements has been creating 700 cards in 2021. Her favorite craft supplies include heat embossing, using splatter, and coloring with markers. Her favorite style is sparkle!
Hi! My name is Tracy Fear, known on social media as Not Afraid of Color, and my friends call me T! I am a Pacific Northwest native living in north Alabama for the past 15+ years. I am retired and live with my retired husband, our 3 dogs, and 8 cats last I counted.
I am a lifelong crafter with skills with stained glass, sewing, quilting, crochet, sculpture, beaded jewelry, macrame, crochet, woodworking, and many others. Most recently I have honed my attentions to paper crafts, specifically making cards.
Hello Crafty Friends! My name is Katy Ingram. I am a wife and mama to 1 son and 4 kitties. I live in southeastern North Carolina off the coast of Topsail Island and I LOVE making handmade cards. I started my card making journey back in 2016 and in 2019 I started my youtube channel and blog Eastwicks Paper and Ink. I wanted an outlet to share and hopefully inspire your creativity with my card making as well as some tips and tricks along the way. I am so excited to be joining the Imagine Crafts Guest Artist Team. I look forward to meeting and crafting with you!
