How To Create Nautical Theme Cards Using Memento Inks

Posted on June 10, 2022 by Imagine

Hello Friends! Katy here with another quick project for you. I have started to create A1 size cards, I think they are the cutest size for note cards. Normally A1 size cards are used for R.S.V.P or Reception cards, but I have started creating them for my every day note cards, I hope you like them too.

The theme is nautical and when I think of nautical I think navy and white, so for todays project I combine Bahama Blue, Nautical Blue and Teal Zeal Memento Inks. I have a video tutorial for you that shows how these cards came together. I hope you enjoy.

Make a Congrats Card with Fireworks!

Posted on June 3, 2022 by Imagine

By Alison Heikkila –

Hello! Alison Heikkila here. It’s getting close to fireworks season, and I am pretty stoked about it. My kids and I love watching fireworks, and I get so happy to see their faces light up, literally and figuratively. I decided to make a fireworks card for Imagine this month…not necessarily for a specific holiday, but as a congratulatory card instead.

Skill Level: Beginner
Time to Complete: 30 minutes

Directions:

Step 1:

Shake up your Fireworks Spray (I chose 3 colors). Choose your lightest color (Bahama Blue for me) and open the spray bottle. Dip a brush into the bottle and apply the color to watercolor paper. Cover around 1/3rd of the paper.

*My paper was cut to 4” x 5 1/4.”

Fireworks 3

Step 2:

Repeat this with the other two colors. I used Danube Blue, then Paris Dusk. Try to blend the colors together where they meet. Let dry.

Step 3:

With a Sponge Dauber, apply VersaMark Ink through the stencil. I opted to use the Dazzle version, but you can use the regular one.

Fireworks 5

Step 4:

After you apply each firework, sprinkle on some Mboss embossing powder and heat set. Fill the panel with embossed fireworks.

Step 5:

Shake up the Sheer Shimmer Spritz in Gold, open the cap, and tap on to the card panel. Let dry.

Fireworks 7

Here you can see how shimmery the panel is. It’s even prettier in person.

Fireworks 8

Step 6:

Apply VersaMark to a scrap of cardstock. Sprinkle on some Mboss embossing powder, shake off excess, and heat set.

Fireworks 9

Step 7:

Die cut your sentiment from the embossed cardstock. I used vellum for my shadow layer. Glue together with On Point Glue.

Step 8:

Adhere your sentiment and panel to a white card base.

Step 9:

Optional: Add some sequins to the card front with On Point Glue.

Finished!

Make a Hibiscus Sympathy Card with Creative Medium

Posted on May 27, 2022 by Imagine

By Neva Cole

I am always searching for new ways to use supplies and tools. Creative Medium comes in many colors, but the Iridescent Green creates stunning results on black paper. The use of an Embossing Folder helps the layers of the iridescent effect really shine. A few layered stamped images and I have a beautiful sympathy card to send to a dear friend.

Skill: Beginner

Time: 1 Hour plus dry time

Directions:

Step 1

Cover a section of black paper (with or without texture) with a thin layer of Creative Medium in Iridescent Green. I used Imagine’s Squeegee to spread the layer across the paper. The rubber edge was very helpful to get a thin even layer. Set aside to dry, possibly overnight. After it is dry it will still have a slightly rubbery texture.

Step 2:

Trim a section of the paper to 4” x 5 1/4” and pressure emboss with Sizzix Tropical Paisley Embossing Folder. You can really see the detail in this photo.

Step 3:

Layer stamp the Hero Arts Hibiscus and leaves images. Start with the lightest ink first. For the Hibiscus–Radiant Neon Electric Yellow, Memento Cantaloupe, Memento Tangelo, and VersaFine Habanero. The leaves are stamped in Memento Bamboo Leaves and Northern Pine. The images are die cut twice more from white and layered under matching die cuts with OnPoint glue.

Step 4:

The sentiment from Unity Stamp Company is stamped in Versa Fine Habanero then heat embossed with Iridescent Embossing powder. (Not shown) The image is die cut with Lawn Cuts Everyday Sentiments die. One end is trimmed off square. The banner is inked with an ink dauber and Radiant Neon Electric Yellow. The edges are inked with Memento Cantaloupe.

Step 5:

Ink the edges of a 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” card with Radiant Neon Electric Yellow ink with an ink dauber.

Step 6:

The layers are adhered together with Tear It! Tape. It adheres well with the textured layers of the card. The two Hibiscus flower are lifted a bit with dimensional foam adhesive.
