Create a Clean and Simple Fall Layered Card

Posted on November 2, 2021 by Imagine

By Neva Cole –

In today’s tutorial, I will demonstrate how to use both VersaMark and Kaleidacolor ink to create a layered background for a clean and simple design fall card. VersaMark is a beautiful watermark ink especially on dark cardstock.

Skill: Beginner

Time: 30 Minutes

Directions:

2021-Nov-Neva-FallCard-step1

Step 1

Trim a cream cardstock base to 8.5” x 5.5”, score and fold in half. Trim a dark brown cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5”.

Step 2

Use a stamp platform and stamp the leaf images in VersaMark Dazzle Champagneon the dark brown cardstock. Any VersaMark ink will work, but there is a bit of Champagne shimmer with the Dazzle ink. With the stamps in the same position on the stamp platform, stamp in Kaleidacolor Cappuccino Delight. The Oak leaf is stamped on the darker brown end and the maple leaf is stamped on the lighter orange end of the Kaleidacolor Cappuccino Delight pad.

Step 3

Continue stamping the base cardstock and dark brown cardstock. Clean stamps between the Kaleidacolor ink and VersaMark ink. It is not necessary to clean after the VersaMark ink as it will not affect the color of the Kaleidacolor ink.

Step 4

Trim 0.5” from each edge of the brown cardstock.

2021-Nov-Neva-FallCard-step5

Step 5

Stamp the leaves in Kaleidacolor Cappuccino Delight. The sentiment is stamped in the darkest color of the ink pad. (I choose and another sentiment for the finished card.) Die cut the leaves and the sentiment. Edge the banner sentiment with a Brush Tip Fanstix using the orange from the Kaleidacolor Cappuccino Delight.

Step 6

Line up the dark brown cardstock with the base layer. Adhere with Tear It! Tape. Adhere the oak leaves with Tear It! Tape and the maple leaf and sentiment with dimensional foam adhesive.

By Jessica Lin

Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here and welcome back to another video tutorial. This time I have a new theme to share with you! Do you ever feel inspired by your clothing, perhaps you love the print, or maybe the colors catch your eye? I personally have a lot of floral clothing and I’ve always wanted to recreate them into cards! This time I picked a Zara dress with red, pink, and purple flowers. It’s really a jump from my comfort zone as I’ve never paired these colors together. But I love the end result so much! I hope this video will inspire you to take a look around your house or peek into your wardrobe for some crafty inspirations!

How to Make a Spooky Card

Posted on October 19, 2021 by Imagine

By Alison Heikkila –

Halloween is a great time to experiment with deeper shades, interesting textures, and unique combinations. Things don’t need to be pretty or perfect…in fact, the weirder and more off-kilter they are, the better! Let’s use a variety of Imagine products to make a spooky card for Halloween.

Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Time: 30 Minutes, including drying time

Directions:

Crow-1

Step 1:

Apply Silvery Shimmer Delicata Ink Refill to a 6×6 gel printing plate and roll out with a brayer.

Crow-2

Step 2:

Lay your stencil on to the gel plate. Using a piece of scrap paper, rub the negative space areas to pick up the ink. Pull the print. You won’t be using this print for this project, but you can save it for another time.

Step 3:

Lift the stencil off of the plate.

Step 4:

Lay a piece of 4″ x 5 1/4″ black cardstock on top of the plate, where the stenciled image is. rub the paper on to the plate firmly, making sure to rub all areas to ensure a clean pull.

Crow-3

Step 5:

Pull the print.

Crow-5

Step 6:

Splatter irRESISTibles Spray in Love Letter on to the gel print. I open the bottle and tap the straw to get nice, big splatters. Let dry.

Crow-4

Step 7:

On a piece of gray cardstock, stamp a solid or silhouette image with VersaMark ink. I used a crow.

Step 8:

Sprinkle Shimmering Night Sky Mboss powder on to the inked image, tap off the excess, and heat set. Then, you can fussy cut the image out.

Crow-6

Step 9:

Die cut your sentiment out of a deep orange cardstock.

Step 10:

Using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, press the front side of the letters into the pad gently. Memento ink pads have a wonderful texture, which will work perfectly with our creepy card.

Step 11:

On a black A2-sized card base, ink the edges with Black Shimmer Delicata Ink.

Step 12:

Adhere all of your elements on to the card base.
