I’ve had these stencils for some time, and the vibrant colors and rich textures of Tsukineko inks were perfect for these designs. I love Tsukineko inks for their versatility, stunning colors, and ease of use. They also come in various themed color sets. For this project, I used both VersaFine colors and Dew Drop VersaMagic ink pads.
In today’s post, I am sharing a wedding card. I don’t have any wedding specific craft supplies, so I used some general craft supplies.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1 hour
Directions:
Step 1: Spray a panel of watercolor paper with Angel Pink Fireworks! Spray. After it dried, splatter some Grape Jelly Fireworks! Spray on the panel, and the spray more Angel Pink Fireworks! Spray to help diffuse the purple color. Then set the whole thing aside to dry. After the panel dried, die cut the panel.
Step 2: Press Charming Pink VersaFine Clair ink onto a second panel of watercolor paper. Then die cut the panel with the same die. For this layer, get rid of negative parts of the die cut. Then press the die into a Frost VersaMark Dazzle stamp pad.
Optional step: heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
Step 3: Glue the two die cuts together, so that the dark pink layer overlaps the corresponding light pink layer.
Step 4: Press Celestial Copper Delicata ink onto a scrap of watercolor paper. Optional step: Heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
Step 5: Die cut the copper-colored watercolor scrap with the congrats sentiment die. If desired, press the sentiment into the Celestial Copper Delicata ink pad a second time for a more saturated color.
Optional step: Heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Optional step: Die cut 2 additional pieces of scrap cardstock with the same die and glue them behind the copper layer to add dimension to the sentiment.
Step 6: Glue the sentiment die on the lower third of the pink die cut panels. Then glue the panel onto an A2-sized white card base. (You can’t see the card base because the pink layer is the exact same size as the card base.)
Step 7: Splatter additional Grape Jelly Fireworks! Spray onto the panel. Glue pink and purple sequins onto the panel on the left of the sentiment die and on the upper right part of the card.
Hi everyone! I think I found my go-to die set for making cards for guys! It’s always been hard for me to come up with masculine card designs. This Brewed die set featuring beers, ale, and wine is gender-neutral and just perfect for a Father’s Day card.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 30 minutes
Step 1: Ink blend a gingham pattern using the Artistic Mix masks with Memento Paris Dusk ink. I like to emphasize certain areas and use a light hand for others to create variations of shades.
Step 2: Die cut the beer and hops elements using different color cardstock.
Step 3: To add some foamy details to the beer foam, apply a layer of Radiant Neon Amplify! Then heat set with your heat gun until a bubbly texture starts to puff up. I haven’t used these in a long time and was surprised with how well the result looked! There’s no waiting time for drying, either. Just heat set as soon as you apply the liquid layer.
Step 4: Assemble the die cut elements with Tear-It Tape and foam tape. I used On Point Glue to adhere the two “Cheers” die cuts. The fine tip nozzle is really handy for applying small amounts of glue to intricate die cuts. For the final step, I heat embossed the sentiment with white Mboss powder and that completes the card!
Hello crafty friends! This time, I want to share an idea with you for Father’s Day. This card has a fun colorful stenciled background. It is also not too hard to make.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 30 minutes
Directions:
Step 1
Make an A2 size card out of heavy-weight white cardstock. One piece of 11 inch x 8.5 inch cardstock can make 2 cards.
On the front card, tape the stencil with washi tapes to secure it in place while you add colors with some sponge daubers.
Add the VersaColor ink one by one using a different sponge dauber for each color you use. Make sure the colors you pick can blend well.
When you are done adding colors, remove the stencil, set aside the stenciled card to dry.
Step 2
On a piece of white cardstock, stamp the image with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad using a stamping tool.
Use a craft heat gun to dry the ink quickly.
Step 3
Next step, cut the sentiment with a rectangle die.
I also cut out a piece of black cardstock using 2 different rectangle dies to create a frame. This step is an option, if you want to add more layers to the card.
Step 4
Add the sentiment panel at the center of the stenciled card with Tear It! Tape, and add the black frame to the card with the same adhesive.
Step 5
On the inside card, stamp the sentiment with the VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad.
Use a craft heat gun to dry the ink after stamping.
This card looks like it has a couple layers of die cuts but still flat enough to send it out on regular mail without extra cost.
I hope you will give it a try to make this fun colorful card for Father’s Day! Thanks so much for stopping by our blog today. Have a wonderful day!
Hello! Today, I’ll show you how to make pretty tulip cards with VersaMagic Dew Drop Inks. I love these line of inks for their soft, chalky finish. The pad shape is also perfect for making tulip petals. You can either make a single card, or you can make a 3-panel slimline card.
Skill Level: Beginner Time: 30 Minutes Approx
Directions:
Step 1: Begin stamping 2 to 3 petals with VersaMagic Dew Drop Mango Madness on a 2.5″x3.5″ cardstock panel. Repeat process 2 more times for a total of 3 panels.
Step 2: Now take your VersaMagic Dew Drop Red Magic and angle it so that when you stamp, you will only get ink only on the outer edge of the tulip.
Step 3: Using On Point Glue, add flower stems to your inked tulip. You can find flower stems at any craft store or you can make your own.
Step 4: To add more dimension to your card, you can add extra layers using different color cardstock. Adhere with Tear It! Tape.
Step 5: For the slimcard, cut a piece of 4″x9″ cardstock. Glue all layers together with Tear It! Tape.
Step 6: You can add a sentiment to complete your card, using On Point Glue, Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy this tutorial.
