Inking Techniques to Make Multiple Artist Trading Cards

Posted on May 17, 2023 by Imagine

By LV Handcrafted

Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). In today’s video I’m showing two techniques for creating background panels that you can either cut down or die cut from! One technique features the ever-so-popular ink “smooshing” and the other features creating monoprinting with a gel plate! These techniques are fast and easy to make multiples of if you ever need to make the same card en mass. I made a set of 6 Artist Trading Cards (ATC) using one panel for the background and the monoprint for die-cutting.

Skill: Advance

Time: 45 minutes

Supplies Used

VersaColor Ink – I used Violet and Turquoise
Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray – I used Lilac Posies

Using Embossing Powder To Make Embossing Skins

Posted on May 9, 2023 by Imagine

By Katy Ingram

Hello Friends! Katy here and today I have a really fun technique using MBoss Embossing Powders to make paper thin backgrounds, AKA Embossing Skins.

In todays video tutorial I am sharing how I made some backgrounds using embossing powders with an iron, you can also use your heat gun. You will also need some parchment paper/baking paper. This is a quick technique, but so addicting!

The best part, you can use any embossing powder, including the ones that don’t emboss very well any more. This is a great technique to use those particular powders up so they don’t go to waste!

I have lots of tips and things to share in the video, check it out below.

Beautiful Watercolor Poppy Cards Using VersaColor Reinkers

Posted on April 22, 2023 by Imagine

By Nancy May

Hey y’all. I so enjoy to watercolor and I love that you don’t have to have fancy watercolors to create something special. Today we’ll use VersaColor reinkers in the colors Cardinal and Canary to paint the poppies in a gorgeous reb rubber cling background stamp from My Favorite Things. I’ll also use a VersaColor inkpad in the color Turquoise for the background and to mix with Canary to create greens for the project.
