~ Hello Friends! Katy here with my latest video using Brilliance Metallic Ink and a couple VersaFine Clair inks while showing you how to create the perfect box for stamping. Video has all the details. Thanks for watching.
Other Products Used Watercolor Paper, Cardstock or Vellum Hole Punch – I used 1/8th inch Score board Reversible Tweezers (optional, but helpful) Adhesive Bone Folder or Scoring Tool of choice I used BetterPress System, but any stamps will do.
– I wanted to decorate a small brown bag before reusing it as a gift bag for a coworker’s gift. This card was quick and easy but looks really pretty and features VersaFine Clair Inks.
Skill: Beginner Time: 1 hour
Directions
Step 1: Stamp a solid organic circle shape with Lemonade VersaFine Clair Ink on the edges of a small brown paper bag. Repeat on the back of the bag.
Step 2: Quickly stamp two different solid leaf stamps with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink over the two Lemonade circles. Add clear embossing powder over both the Lemonade-colored circles and the black leaves and heat emboss them. Repeat the process on the back of the bag.
Step 3: Stamp the splatter wreath twice on the bag with Baby Pink VersaFine Clair Ink–once on the upper right corner of the bag and once on the central right part of the bag. Then heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Repeat on the other side of the bag.
Step 4: Stamp a row of small hearts on the bag twice with Dahlia Purple VersaFine Clair Ink. Heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Repeat on the back of the bag.
Step 5: Stamp the same solid leaf stamps from step 2 with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink inside the splatter leaf stamps. Heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Repeat on the back side of the bag.
Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. I want to share one of my favorite ways to create a gift card holder today. It’s super simple and quick to put together. I picked a Christmas theme but you could easily change it to a birthday or wedding gift card holder.
Step 1: Let’s start by creating the base of the gift card holder. Using Environment Desert Storm cardstock, cut it in half to create a standard A2 card base (4 ¼’’ x 5 ½’’), and score at 4 ½’’, 5 ½’’ and 6 ½’’. Fold along the crease to create a peak just like the one in the photo.
Step 2: Next, flip the card base around and apply Tear-It! Tape to the top edge of the scored line. Notice how the “peak” from earlier has turned into a “valley”. You want to avoid adding adhesive to the center of the “valley” since that will become the opening for the gift card holder.
Step 3: Once the middle portion of the card base is adhered together, you will have a new card base that is 4 ¼’’ x 5’’ with an inner flap. Now, we are ready to create the opening for the gift card. Place the largest frame die from Spellbinders Labels Seventeen set to die cut the gift card opening. The trick is to die cut as little cardstock as possible so that there is a large flap area to hold your gift card.
Step 4: Let’s decorate the front of the gift card holder next. I stamped this Christmas tree image on Classic Crest Solar White cardstock with VersaColor Evergreen ink pad and die cut the image with the coordinating die.
Step 5: Then, I stamped another Christmas tree design with VersaMagic Tea Leaves ink pad. Both of these stamps are from Stampin Up’s Peaceful Pines set.
Step 6: I decided to add an embossed panel to add some interest to the background. I trimmed a piece of Environment Desert Storm cardstock to 3 ¾’’ x 4 ½’’ and embossed it with Stampin’ Up’s Tin Tile embossing folder. The details really pop on this kraft colored cardstock, don’t you think?
Step 7: For the sentiment, I picked this scripty “Christmas” die from Ellen Hutson’s Merry & Bright set and die cut it with DCS Gold Glitter Heavyweight 12 x 12. This gold glitter cardstock is becoming a staple in my craft room – it’s easy to die cut with and does not shed any glitter (no glitter mess!).
Step 8: Finally, I stamped “Merry” with Encore! Gold ink pad to complete the sentiment. I picked this color since it matches the DCS Gold Glitter Heavyweight cardstock really well.
Step 9: This is what the gift card holder looks like with a gift card inserted. I really like this gift card holder since it’s super easy to assemble and there’s space to write a personal message as well. I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial, and thanks for stopping by!
Hello everyone. Von Marie here with my latest project. I chose to make a Mother’s Day Home Decor project today. I used wood veneers and frame and some Beautiful VersaColor inks, and Delicata Golden Glitz to help me make this project fun and colorful. This project is great for a gift or for yourself as a decoration for your craft room. You can even switch it up and make it a Christmas project or anytime project. The video will have all the details. Thank you for watching.
Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. Today I am sharing a candy box idea that is fitting for all occasions. However, the candy box die I am using today is versatile and you could dress up the box for Halloween treats, too!
Directions:
Step 1: Stamp the small butterfly base image from Stampin’ Up’s Watercolor Wings set with VersaMagic Red Magic ink pad.
Step 2: For the second layer of the butterfly stamp, I used VersaFine Clair Glamorous ink pad. I think these two shades of red complement each other very well.
Step 3: Die cut the butterfly with the coordinating Butterflies Thinlits dies.
Step 4: Stamp the third layer with VersaMark ink pad and heat emboss with gold embossing powder.
Step 5: Die cut two pieces of patterned paper using Lawn Fawn’s Candy Box die. Then adhere the sides of the boxes together with Tear-It Tape, while leaving the ends open. After filling the box with treats (chocolates like Ferrero Rocher and Lindt are perfect!), tie the ends of the candy box with pieces of twine.
Step 6: Stamp a sentiment with VersaMagic Red Magic ink and this simple treat box is complete! Imagine
Hello Crafty Friends, It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing how to make this Gift Tag with a Shaker Ornament attached. The recipient can also use the Shaker Ornament for a gift tag if they want.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1 hour
Directions:
Gather your supplies. For this project you will need a MISTI Lite or other stamping platform, a Grip or Sticky Mat, a shaker element die set (I used a snow globe) a tag die set, and a die cutting machine. I used several colors of VersaFine Clair ink in Rain Forest, Blue Belle and Warm Breeze
Step 1: Cut out all your die cut pieces. I ended up also using some trees and a snowman from an old Hero Arts set. You will need 2 frames and two bases of the snow globe
Step 2: Mask off the bottom portion of the snow globe for the snow.
Step 3: Using Warm Breeze, ink the bottom portion above the mask.
Step 4: Using Blue Belle, ink the top portion of the snow globe.
Step 5: Cover the bottom portion of the snow globe and splatter the top portion with watered down white acrylic paint for the snow.
Step 6: Ink the trees using Rain Forest ink and color the hat, arms, face, and button of the snowman with a marker.
Step 7: Add all the elements, trees and snowman to the base.
Step 8: Recycle and add some packaging to one of the globes to create the shaker.
Step 9: Add some glitter or sequins to the front of the snow globe and add foam tape to the back of the snow globe frame.
Tip- always add liquid glue on the foam tape so it gives a minute to move it if needed. Glue the two together.
Step 10: Cut out a tag and stamp a greeting on it. Add a string to the snow globe and then place another backer over it for a clean look.
