Posted on by

By Ceal Pritchett –

Hello crafty friends. It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a Mickey and Minnie Birthday card with you. I am a long time Disney fan and I have a couple Disney sets of Disney characters in my stash.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 45 Minutes 

Directions: 

Gather your supplies. You will need a set of fictional characters that you’re a fan of, markers, black ink, colored ink, and a white gel pen.

Step 1: 
Stamp the image using black ink. I used VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.

Step 2:
Stamp the image again on Post-it note paper or masking paper using black ink. 

Step 3:
Fussy cut the images out and cover the images that were stamped on the panel. Then using a colored ink blend a circle of ink around the images. I used one of the newest colors of VersaFine Clair, Lemonade. 

Step 4:
Remove the mask and color the images with markers. I used the Memento marker, Love Letter. 

Step 5:
Using a white gel pen, add polka dots to Minnie’s dress. To finish the card, add a greeting (I went with birthday) and adhere the panel to an A2 card base.

Creative Inking Birthday Card Using a 3D Embossing Folder

Posted on by

By Ceal Pritchett

– Hello everyone!
It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing how to create this bold look using a creative inking technique with a 3D embossing folder. 

Skill: Beginner to Intermediate
Time: 30 mins

Directions:

Gather your supplies. You will need a 3D embossing folder, several colors of inks, either a sponge dauber or blending brush and a sentiment of choice.

Step 1:
Using a white A2 panel, run it through the die cutting machine using a #d embossing folder.
Tip: if you spritz it with water, it will be crisp.

Step 2:
On the debossed side of the panel, use a blending brush or sponge dauber ink blend green for the leaves. 

Step 3:
Using a blending brush or sponge dauber ink blend pink or color of choice in the flowers.
This looks like a hot mess right now but the next step will really define the image.

Step 4:
Using the ink pad and the direct to paper technique, run the ink pad over the debossed area that you colored and watch the image come to life and be defined.

Mixed Media Birthday Card

Posted on by

By Ceal Pritchett

Hello Friends,
It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a fun background technique with you that even a child can create. This is a Mixed Media project. Does the word mixed media have you thinking I can’t make a mixed meda card? It used to for me but honestly mixed media is simply a card made with two different mediums, so this one is shaving cream and ink. Don’t let the word mixed media scare you.

Skill: Beginner
Time: 45 Minutes

Directions:

Gather your supplies. You will need a sentiment die cut of your choosing, some foaming shaving cream (gel will not work, some re inkers in different colors, a paper plate, a toothpick and some water friendly paper.

Step 1:
Add shaving cream to the paper plate.

Step 2:
Add drops of re inkers to the shaving cream. I used 5 different colors.

Step 3:
Using a tooth pick, swirl the colors around.

Step 4:
Place water friendly paper (I used Bristol Vellum) face down into the shaving cream.  Wipe off with paper towel. The results will look like the next photo and as a added bonus, it will smell so good.

Step 5:
Cut the sentiment out of White cardstock and the backer out of a coordinating color of cardstock. Adhere them together and add to the front of the card.

Make a Sweet Birthday Card with VersaMagic Pastel Ink Pads

Posted on by

By Jessica Lin –

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 30 minutes

Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. Today I am sharing a birthday card using one of my favorite ink pads – VersaMagic. They have great pastel colors that are just perfect for sorbet and ice cream images.

Step 1:
The first color I chose is VersaMagic Pixie Dust – it reminds me of the classic strawberry ice cream. I used it to stamp the ice cream scoop image from Stampin’ Up’s Sweet Ice Cream set.

Step 2:
Then I used VersaMagic Sea Breeze to stamp my second scoop of ice cream. You will notice that the ice cream image is not entirely solid. I really like the “watercolor” look it gives off.

Step 3:
For my last scoop of ice cream, I used VersaMagic Thatched Straw. A soft yellow like this is hard to find in the ink pad world. I have yet to find a similar hue as soft as this color.

Step 4:
Once the stamped images are left to dry for 5-10 minutes, I punched them out with the coordinating Ice Cream Cone Builder punch.

Step 5:
For the ice cream cones, I used VersaMagic Gingerbread and Sahara Sand. The darker one on top is stamped with Gingerbread, and the two lighter ones on the bottom are stamped with Sahara Sand.

Step 6:
I decided to heat emboss the sentiment on vellum to match the soft, pastel palette of the card. I stamped the “Happy Birthday” stamp with VersaMark Dazzle Champagne and heat embossed with white Mboss powder.

Step 7:
To complete the card, I adhered all of the elements onto a card panel that I embossed with Stampin’ Up Painted Texture embossing folder. I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial and have a sweet day!
