– Here’s a rare project from me that with no stamping at all. I’ve used inks, stencils, and cutting dies to create what will either be a wall hanging or a journal page.
Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Time: 1.5 hours
Step 1.
Secure the UFO stencil to a piece of cardstock with removable tape on both sides of the paper, creating a hinge. Apply Platinum Planet Brilliance over the stencil onto the cardstock. Open the hinged stencil and heat set the image panel.
Step 2:
Put the UFO stencil back in place. Use a sponge dauber to apply Silver Shimmer Delicata over the stencil onto the image panel. Open the hinged stencil and heat set the image panel.
Step 3:
Use a brush-tipped Fantastix to apply Dandelion Memento ink through the UFO’s windows onto the image panel. Remove and clean the stencil.
Step 4:
Touch up the windows with the Fantastix. Use a grey watercolor marker to color the window frames and the bottom aperture of the UFO.
Step 5:
Fussy-cut the UFO, edge with a dark marker, and set aside.
Step 6:
Use a sponge dauber to apply Danube Blue onto a 4.75” x 6.75” piece of Bristol Paper. Use a sponge dauber to blend Paris Dusk onto the Bristol Paper to create a mottled background.
Step 7:
Tape the Time Tunnel Stencil over the inked background panel. Use a sponge dauber to apply Paris Dusk Memento ink over the stencil onto the paper.
Step 8:
Squeeze a few drops of Moonlight White Brilliance re-inker onto a craft mat. Spray with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. Use a paintbrush to mix the ink. Load the paintbrush with the diluted Moonlight Brilliance ink and splatter the background panel. Let air dry or heat set.
Step 9:
Use the Mini Cats die to cut Raven cardstock. Set the cat dies aside.
Step 10:
Use a sponge dauber to apply Bamboo Leaves Memento ink onto a white cardstock panel. Repeat Cottage Ivy Memento ink until the panel is covered.
Step 11:
Use the Grassy Hills Die set to cut the inked panels. Use a green Copic marker to edge the grass and to add details. Using Memento Ink to create backgrounds allows you to use Copic markers overtop!
Step 12:
Cut a piece of vellum to 6” square. Score on the diagonal from one point to the opposite point. Fold.
Repeat with both sides until it looks like the above photo.
Step 13:
Place one edge of the scored, folded square along the cutting edge of a guillotine trimmer. Cut.
Step 14:
Use On Point Glue to adhere the die-cut cats to the interior of the folded vellum triangle. Sorry that I forgot to take a photo.
Step 15:
Back a piece of vellum with two-sided tape. Use the Oval Shadows Die-namics to cut the vellum.
Step 16:
Use Tear It! Tape to adhere the three layers of grass to the background panel as shown. Edge the panel with VersaFine Clair Nocturne .
Adhere the vellum cone and the vellum oval as shown. Use On Point Glue to adhere escaping and/or partially beamed-up cats atop the vellum oval and cone.
Use dimensional foam adhesive to adhere the UFO as shown.
Step 17:
Adhere the image panel to a 5” x 7” piece of Black Mixed Media paper. Add the sentiment sticker to finish the piece.

– Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). Let your imagination fly and make your own Kaleidacolor ink pad! It is so easy to create any combination of 5 colors. Mix and match any set of dye ink refills to create your favorite color blends. These fun ink pads make it so easy to create ombre backgrounds and papers to die cut from. For this card, I combined several small sentiment stamps and used my rainbow ink pad to ink up my stamps and create a custom rainbow sentiment background — you can’t do that with any other ink pad!
Skill: Beginner
Time: 10 minutes

• Kaleidacolor – Uninked ink pad
• Dye Reinker – Crimson, Tangerine, Daffodil, Lime, Crystal Blue

Hello! I’ve got a fun YouTube video for Imagine today that shows a fun way to use embossing folders…for jewelry! We’ll be using Sheet Metal pieces and StazOn to make fun earrings. This is a simple technique that can really be jazzed up depending on how you finish the jewelry.
Skill Level: Intermediate
Time to Complete: 20 minutes
Supplies:
Imagine:
SHEET Metal Assorted Pack
StazOn: Plum
StazOn: Caribbean Green
GlazOn: Original
Other:
Cuttlebug Midnight Hauntings Embossing Folder: No longer available. Use what you have!
Beads, eye pins, ear wires (fish hook style), jump rings, pliers.
I made them pretty long, but again, make your jewelry however you like! I love wearing long earrings with lots of movement.
I just love how these came out. I’ll definitely be wearing them all year round. I hope you give this a try and expand the use of your embossing folders. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
Babies are born all year, so why not ghost themed Hello Baby cards? And all things are better with a little bling. Let’s use Imagine Tear it! Tape and Creative Medium to add some shiny foil to a couple Hello Baby cards.

– I’ve been experimenting with 91° Isopropyl Alcohol to blend inks and decided to see what would happen with Kaleidacolor Ink. I’m totally thrilled with the results!
Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Time: 1.5 hours
Step 1.
Keeping the Kaleidacolor’s ink pads separate, apply ink to the brayer.
Step 2:
Use the brayer to roll the ink onto one side of a 4.25” x 5” panel of white cardstock. Re-ink the brayer if necessary. Notice that the lightest green is in the center of the paper.
Flip the paper 180° and repeat. It’s always a good idea to create more than one panel of inked cardstock!
Step 3:
Spray the inked cardstock with Isopropyl Alcohol until the paper is completely saturated. Tilt the paper so that the alcohol moves the ink around. Note that whereas the paper is wet, it is not pilling!
Safety Warning: Be sure to have good ventilation when using any kind of solvent!
Pro Tip:
Place a piece of white seam binding or ribbon into the puddle of ink to create perfectly matching trim!
Step 4:
Mist the cardstock with water to add white speckles and blotches. Heat set.
Step 5:
Tape the inked cardstock to t he back of the bamboo stencil.
Sponge Rainforest and Green Oasis VersaFine Clair Inks over the stencil onto the inked cardstock. Heat set.
Step 6:
Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp two of the pandas from the Pandamonium Clear Stamp Set. Heat set.
Step 7:
Fussy-cut both pandas.
Step 8:
Smoosh Rose Bud, Angel Pink, Summer Sky, and Dandelion Dew Drop Inkpads onto a craft mat. Mist with water. Use a fine paintbrush to color the pandas.
Step 9:
Use a plain rectangle and a postage edged rectangle dies to cut inked panels.
Step 10:
Place a piece of paper tape across the bottom of the stenciled cardstock.
Heavily sponge Rain Forest VersaFine Clair Ink below the tape to cover the stenciling. Use the ink to edge the piece as well.
Step 11:
Use Green Oasis VersaFine Clair Ink to stamp the sentiment.
Step 12:
Use a Postage Edged die to cut the sentiment.
Step 13:
Create an A2 card from Avalanche cardstock. Apply Verdant VersaFine Clair Ink around the edges of the white cardstock. VersaFine Clair Ink works really well with textured cardstock!
Step 14:
Use Tear It! Tape to attach the postage edged die-cut to the card.
Adhere the pandas and the sentiment die-cut to the stenciled panel, then adhere the stenciled panel to finish the card.
