Hey there crafty friends! It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a Halloween card with you.
Skill Level: Intermediate Time: 30 Minutes
Directions:
Gather your supplies. You will need a Halloween themed stamp set, a stencil, white and black embossing powder, some markers if you have a line art image and three Halloween colors of ink.
Step 1: Ink Blend a purple ink (VersaFine Clair Purple Delight used) on a third of the panel.
Step 2: Ink Blend an orange (VersaFine Clair Summertime used) ink over the second third of the panel.
Step 3: Ink Blend a yellow (VersaFine Clair Cheerful used) ink over the bottom third of the panel.
Step 4: Place a stencil over the blended panel and add black (VersaFine Clair Nocturne used) ink over the stencil.
Step 5: Stamp a spider web in the corner using black ink and then emboss with black powder.
Step 6: Stamp, color and cut out the image and add to the front of the card.
I’ve had a small metal tea box that I’ve wanted to repurpose into a mixed media piece for a while, so I took some time on a rainy day to make it happen.
Skill: Advanced Time: 1 hour active time, 6+ hours (drying between layers)
Directions:
Step 1:
After applying two coats of gesso around all four sides of a tea tin, spray the top of the tin with Cherry Blossom Walnut Ink Antiquing Solution and allow it to drip down the sides of the tin. Set aside to dry.
Step 2:
Spray all four sides of the tin with Lulu Lavender Fireworks! Craft Spray and allow to dry.
Step 3:
While the tin was drying, die cut four leaf clusters out of watercolor paper. Then randomly add Paris Dusk Fireworks! Craft Spray to the centers of each leaf with the stick of the spray nozzle and color the outsides of the leaves with Elderberry Memento Dual Marker.
Step 4:
Spray each of the 4 leaf clusters with Lulu Lavender Fireworks! Craft Spray and allow to dry.
Step 5:
Partially stamp each of the four sides of the tin with Night Sky VersaMagic ink on a background stamp. (I used an old woodblock typewriter stamp.) Then press the ink pad along the top edge of the tin and the raised rib as well. Heat emboss the top rim of ink with clear embossing powder.
Step 6:
Ink blend Lilac VersaColor ink through a stencil on all four sides of the tin using a sponge dauber. (Not pictured was splattering more of the Paris Dusk Fireworks! Craft Spray onto each of the four sides as well.) Then allow everything to dry.
Step 7:
Glue two of the leaf cluster dies (one on top of the other) along the right edge of two of the sides of the tin.
Not pictured was the step after this where I decided to use my sponge daubers to ink blend some more of the Night Sky VersaMagic ink along some of the edges of the leaves while they were glued down, nor using my Gold Sheer Shimmer Stix Dauber Top to add some gold to the leaves as well.
Splatter the tin with more Paris Dusk Fireworks! Craft Spray. Allow it to dry. Then glue dark blue gems around the leaf clusters to finish the box on the two slides with leaves.
Hello Friends! Katy here with another quick project. I love trying new things with my inks and embossing folders and in todays video I used my VersaFine Clair with some Brilliance pigment inks in Cosmic Copper and Galaxy Gold and Moonlight White, with a 3D embossing folder.
Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. Fall is right around the corner and I have a fall floral card to share with you today. I decided to do some layered ink blending using shimmery Delicata ink pads. They are pigment-based and mostly used for stamping. However, they ink blend beautifully, too! Be sure to check out the shimmery effects of these ink pads at the end of this post.
Step 1: Stamp the large floral image from Stampin’ Up’s Layers of Beauty set with VersaFine Clair Sand Dune ink pad. This color is becoming my favorite for stamping outlines. The soft, neutral tone creates an entirely different feel compared to black image outlines.
Step 2: This particular stamp set coordinates with the Layers of Beauty decorative masks. I started with stencil 1 and ink blended with Delicata Golden Glitz. You could use the full size ink pad or the Quartet ink pad, which includes Golden Glitz, Silvery Shimmer, Celestial Copper, and Bronze Burst.
Step 3: For stencil 2 and 3, I ink blended Bronze Burst and Celestial Copper. These two shades are similar, with Celestial Copper having a redder hue. I thought they contrasted too strongly against the golden base layer, so I ink blended Bronze Burst lightly to the base layer as well.
Step 4: For the leaves, I ink blended VersaMagic Sage for stencil 4 and Hint of Pesto for stencil 5. Once the ink blending is completed, I die cut the floral image and mounted the back with foam tape.
Step 5: I prepared a card base using Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. Then I embossed a 4’’ x 5 ¼’’ panel with Stampin’ Up’s Distressed Tile embossing folder. To create some background depth, I ink blended the corners of the embossed panel with VersaFine Clair Sand Dune ink pad.
Step 6: Finally, I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Clair Sand Dune ink pad and added matte white enamel dots from The Rabbit Hole Designs.
Here’s the finished card! I tried to capture the shimmery effects of the Delicata ink pads but the photo does not do it justice. It’s mesmerizing and so pretty in real life, I hope you will give ink blending with Delicata ink pads a try!
– As a high school teacher, having cards with a snarky-edge ready to go for a coworker having a wild day is a must, and coffee-themed cards are great to have in your stash because they are always appreciated. So as I get ready to go back to school, I can tuck this away for someone who may need a smile.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 2.0 hours
Directions:
Step 1: Rub a Love Letter Memento ink pad onto a piece of watercolor paper. (The paper was a little rough, so additional color will be added later.)
Step 2: After die cutting the colored watercolor paper, use a Poppy Red Fabrico marker to fix any areas that weren’t colored with the ink pad.Then spray the die cuts with Silver Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray.
(Later, a third die cut was made to better fit the card. This was made in the same way.)
Step 3: Die cut a piece of watercolor paper with the second-largest die from an A2-sized background die set. Then spray Rose Gold Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray into a coffee-themed embossing folder and emboss the watercolor panel. Allow the spray to dry.
Step 4: Ink blend the edges of the embossed watercolor background panel with Champagne Delicata ink using a sponge dauber.
Step 5: Before gluing the die cuts, I pressed the center coffee cup into the Ruby Red Delicata ink pad to change the color of that cup just a little. Glue all three die cuts down and trim the edges with scissors.
Step 6: Ink blend a piece of patterned paper with more of the Ruby Red Delicata ink using a sponge dauber.
Step 7: Die cut the ink blended patterned paper with the largest die from the A2-sized background die set. Then press both Ruby Red and Bark Brown Shimmer Delicata ink onto acetate packaging and spraying with water and splatter both panels with the red and brown watercolor. Ater the splatter dries, glue the two panels together.
Step 8: Stamp the sentiment with Glamorous VersaFine Clair ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
Step 9: Die the inside of the coffee cups (the coffee) out of watercolor paper with the same coffee cup die three times and then spray them all with Potter’s Clay Fireworks! Craft Spray.
Step 10: Ink blend the edges of all three coffee dies with Dark Brown Shimmer Delicata ink with an ink dauber. Then glue the three small brown die cuts into the three coffee cups on the cardbase.
Step 11: Press the edges of the sentiment into the Ruby Red Delicata ink pad and then heat emboss the edges with clear embossing powder. Then assemble the card by attaching the sentiment onto the lower right corner of the upper card panel with foam tape and glue sequins onto the card.
Finally, glue the whole thing onto an A2-sized white cardbase.
