– Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). In today’s video I’m showing how to use your Memento Dew Drop inks to create a perfectly coordinated card. First, I created a background using Love Letter and Teal Zeal to create a plaid. I made a custom ink color by over-stamping multiple times with both colors! I used Teal Zeal to create a coordinating solid color cardstock by just swiping it across white cardstock. Finally, I smooshed Love Letter and Teal Zeal and used a waterbrush pen to color in my stamped image. For the skin, I used Peanut Brittle and for the hair I used Espresso Truffle.
Hello! Alison Heikkila here and I have a new YouTube video for Imagine today. We are going to start off with a little experimenting with a Gel Press, and then we’ll move on to finish a card. I love to try different inks and techniques on the Gel Press, and even if they don’t work out as I had hoped, the monoprints can always be used at a later date in a different way.
Skill: Intermediate-Advanced Time to Complete: 30 minutes
How familiar are you with Kaleidacolor inkpads and Mboss Embossing Powder? Let’s take a look at one of the Kaleidacolor pads I have had for many years and see how it does on the gel plate. Then we’ll play a bit and see how 4 different Mboss Embossing powders impact the same basic Gelli printed background.
Hello crafty friends! Today, I have the easiest and simple tutorial to make a unique thank you card or any type of cards. Let me share the project with you.
Skill: Beginning Time: 60 minutes
Directions:
To make my model, I decided to use Radian Neon 4 Warm for two reasons. The first one is because I love the colors of this set of inks and the second, because Radian Neon brings the opportunity to create textures.
Step 1:
Select the colors of inks that you want to use in small sizes pads. For this idea, you can use any of our 4 Inkpads or small presentations like the Dew Drop of other inks, like Brilliance, VersaMagic, Delicata or Memento, just to mention some.
Step 2:
Place the entire ink pad over the cardstock in the direction that you want the colors. I press mine three times over the card under different pression to obtain different textures in each color.
Step 3:
Let the ink dry naturally or speed the process with a heat tool. If you want, you can cover the stamped blocks of ink with clear embossing powder and emboss them with the heat tool, to obtain a better texture.
Step 4:
Stamp a sentiment over the color blocks using VersaFine Clair Nocturne to add a major contrast over your card.
Step 5:
Heat embosses the sentiment with clear embossing powder and paste the decorated layer over your card base.
As you can see this is a really simple way to use your ink pads as stamps. Depending on the pression and intensity that you apply over the ink pad or 4Ink Pad, you will obtain different looks.
Thanks for stopping by and remember, you don’t need to create complicated projects. Just use the best inks and let your creativity shine!
Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). In today’s video I’m showing a really fun way to use toilet paper! Yes, you read that correctly. I’ll be showing you how to do toilet paper casting in order to use your stamps to create a beautifully textured embossed panel! Now you can turn your stamps into a embossing “folder”!
Sponge Dandelion Memento randomly over a 4” panel of Bristol paper or other hydrophilic paper. Repeat with Canteloupe, Tangelo, and Rose Bud until the panel is covered with colors and the inks are blended.

Use magnets to secure the ink-sponged panel to a stamping platform. Arrange the flower and leaf clear stamps from the Florals Set 1 facedown on the panel. Ink the stamps with Nocturne VersaFine Ink and stamp. Heat set the panel.
Step 4:
Smoosh the Cottage Ivy Memento Dew Drop Ink Pad onto the craft mat. Mist with water. Use a paint brush to apply diluted green ink to the leaves. Repeat this process with New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves Memento Ink to color the other leaves.
Smoosh the Rose Bud Memento Dew Drop Ink Pad onto the craft mat. Mist with water. Use a paint brush to apply the ink to the flowers. Repeat this process with Dandelion Memento ink pads.

Fussy-cut the flowers and the leaves. Edge with a dark marker.
Step 6:
Sponge a 4.5 x 6” panel of Bristol paper with Blue Danube and Paris Dusk Memento Ink onto the panel to create a blended blue background panel.
Step 7:
Spray the panel with Ink Potion No. 9. Let the solution sit for a minute. Heat set.
Step 8:
Use removable tape to secure the inked panel to the back of the Ornate Stencil.
Sponge Blue Danube Ink over the stencil onto the panel.
Remove the stencil and heat set the ink.
Trim the panel to 4.25”. Add the washi tapes to the bottom of the panel as shown.

Step 9:
Sponge a 2.5” strip of Bristol paper with Potters Clay and London Fog Memento Ink onto the strip until it is covered with blended ink.
Step 10:
Spray the panel with Ink Potion No. 9. Let the solution sit for a minute. Heat set.
Step 11:

Step 12:
Fussy-cut the planter.
Step 13:
Smoosh the Potter’s Clay Memento Dew Drop Ink Pad onto the craft mat. Mist with water. Use a paint brush to shade the planter.
Edge the planter with a black marker. Heat set the planter.
Step 14:

Step 15:
Use foam adhesive to adhere the flowers to the card front. Add the sentiment sticker to the top left.
