– Hello crafty friends! The special day to celebrate our mothers is here. We can celebrate them and show them love in many ways. But today, we are going to make a clean-and-simple handmade card for someone who has been a mother in our life.
Let’s get crafting!
Skill: Intermediate Time: 15-20 Minutes
Direction:
Step 1 Cut out a piece of watercolor cardstock into 4×6 inch and put it on the stamping tool. Stamp the mason jar bouquet image with VersaFine Onyx Black ink.
Step 2 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Summer Sky on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
I used a waterbrush that can easily squish some water out to the brush, but you also can use any small round watercolor brush and clean water. Always have a piece of clean paper towel nearby to dab off too much water.
Step 3 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Bamboo Leaves on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 4 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Rose Bud on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 5 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Cantaloupe on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 6 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Paris Dusk on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 7 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Grape Jelly on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 8 Dry the whole watercolored image well with a craft heat gun. Fussy cut the image using the micro-tip scissors.
Step 9 Cut out a piece of white cardstock with one of the Stitched Tag dies. Stamp the sentiment on the tag with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. Dry the stamped sentiment with a craft heat gun.
Step 10 Add some of the VersaFine Clair Arctic ink on the front card base with finger sponge dauber. Dry the ink with a craft heat gun.
Step 11 Put some of the Tear It! Double-sided Tape on the back of the mason jar and add it to the tag. Tie up some of the white twine on the tag.
Step 12 Add the mason jar bouquet tag to the card with some of the On Point Glue.
Step 13 Embellish the card with some of the pearl gems.
This clean-and-simple Mother’s Day card may look simple yet it has layers but it is not bulky so it is perfect to be sent out to someone who has been a mother to you on this special time.
I hope you like this card and give this tutorial a try. Thanks so much for stopping by our blog today. Have a wonderful day!

– Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. Today I would like to share a card with a black and gold color combo. My card creations are typically full of bright colors; so I decided to change it up a bit by using a simpler color palette. Since there are only two colors on this card, I wanted to add various shimmer and glitter textures to create dimension. Let’s take a look!
Step 1: Trim Stardream Metallic 5 x 7 Onyx cardstock to 3 ¾’’ x 5’’. Paint golden stripes on the card panel with Sheer Shimmer Gold. One trick to avoid the gold shimmer from pooling on the edges is to swipe your paintbrush onto the craft mat. Another alternative is starting with a bigger piece of cardstock, then trimming the panel down to size.
Step 2: Dry the cardstock panel with a heat gun, and repeat steps 1-2 until you achieve bold, gold stripes. The Stardream Metallic Onyx cardstock has a subtle shimmer as well – it adds an elegant touch to the card base.
Step 3: Die cut roses and leaves with DCS Gold Glitter Heavyweight 12 x 12 cardstock. I find this glitter cardstock very easy to cut through. Some of the glitter cardstock I’ve used before uses adhesives to bind to the glitter, which takes a little more time to peel the die cut pieces off each other. This glitter cardstock, on the other hand, separates very easily after it’s been cut through.
Step 4: Next, adhere the die cuts to the strips background panel. I used On-Point Glue since the fine-tip nozzle is perfect for applying small amounts of glue. Then, use an acrylic block to press down on the die cut so that it completely adheres to the background.
Step 5: Finally, stamp the sentiment with Brilliance Galaxy Gold ink pad. This gold ink pad matches the Sheer Shimmer Gold so well! I added some black enamel dots to complete the card. I love the classic black and gold color combo, and I hope this card inspires you to try different kinds of gold shimmer on your project.

Hello crafty friends! Today, I would like to share how to make this mixed media art journal using some inks, craft sprays, embossing powder, and GooseBumps.Let’s get crafting!
Skill: Intermediate Time: 30-60 minutes
Direction:
Step 1 I used my handmade traveler journal using watercolor papers and mixed media papers. You can use any mixed media journal you have.
Dab some of the VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink on the craft mat and spray with some water.
Smoosh the page (or paper) to the ink and dry it with a craft heat gun. Repeat this step to create the watercolor background.
Step 2 Once the watercolored background dried well, add some of the anti-static powder to the page.
Stamp the script stamp on the page randomly with VersaMark ink and then add some of the Gold Mboss Embossing Powder to the page. Heat set the embossing powder with a craft heat gun.
Step 3 Add the stencil to the page.
Add some of the GooseBumps Original (Dauber Top Bottle) to the page on the stencil randomly all over the page.
The best result is to let the GooseBumps texture spray dry naturally (about 2 hours) but I use a handheld fan to speed up the drying process to a few minutes. My suggestion is not to use a craft heat gun.
Step 4 Once the GooseBumps texture spray dry well, spray the Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray.
Dry the ink with a craft heat gun. Make sure to move the heat gun around, not stay too long at one spot to avoid melting the GooseBumps.
Dry the ink with a craft heat gun. Make sure to move the heat gun around, not stay too long at one spot to avoid melting the GooseBumps.
Step 6 And then, spray the Pear Tart Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray.
Dry the ink with a craft heat gun. Make sure to move the heat gun around, not stay too long at one spot to avoid melting the GooseBumps.
Step 7 Wipe the ink spray off using a clean slightly damp paper towel.
You can see the shapes start to pop out of the page adding fun texture to the background page.
Step 8 Stamp the dots texture stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Midnight Black ink using first generation stamping technique.
Step 9 Stamp the numbers texture stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Midnight Black ink using first and second generation stamping technique.
Step 10 Stamp the old ledger texture stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink using second and third generation stamping technique.
Step 11 Stamp the leaf branch stamp randomly on the page with VersaFine Clair Green Oasis.
Dry the stamped images with a craft heat gun.
Step 12 Next stamp the cactus stamps randomly on the page with VersaFine Clair Spruce ink.
Dry the stamped images with a craft heat gun.
Step 13 Stamp the first butterfly stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink using second generation stamping technique.
Step 14 Stamp the second butterfly (smaller size) stamp randomly on the page with VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink using second generation stamping technique.
Step 15 On a white cardstock, stamp the sentiments with VersaMark Ink and then add some of the Gold Mboss Embossing Powder. Heat them with a craft heat gun.
Step 16 Trim the embossed sentiments into sentiment stripes with papercutter or scissors.
Add some of the VersaMagic Jumbo Java ink around the edges with finger sponge dauber to give them some shadow.
Step 17 Add the sentiments to the page with On Point Glue.
Step 18 Draw some border lines around the page and sentiment strips using the Memento Marker Tuxedo Black.
Step 19 For more texture, add some of the Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray to the page by tapping the sprayer tube.
Dry the whole page one more time with a craft heat gun.
I tried to capture the shiny and shimmery on the page in this picture but it looks even more in real life.
I hope you enjoy today’s mixed media project. Thank you for visiting our blog, have a fabulous day.
