Floral Winter Wedding Card

Posted on by

By Anna Escalada York ~

While this card was made for a winter wedding card, it could easily be used for many different celebrations. It features mixing colors together to create new colors.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 1 hour

Directions:

Step 1:
Stamp a large bouquet of flowers with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink on watercolor paper and heat emboss with clear embossing ink. Die cut with the corresponding die.

Step 2:
Selectively spray the bouquet with Luly Lavender Fireworks! Craft Spray and allow to dry.

Step 3:
Use a variety of Memento and Fabrico markers as well as another color of Fireworks! Craft Spray to watercolor the bouquet.

● Leaves/greenery: I watercolored the leaves and greenery with Bamboo Leaves Memento Dual Marker mixed with water. While the leaves were still damp, I watercolored them with Teal Zeal Memento Dual Marker mixed with water.

● Roses (purple flowers): I watercolored them with Grape Jelly Fireworks! Craft Spray mixed with a little water.

● The daisies: The petals were watercolored with Tropical Lagoon Fabrico Dual Marker and the centers with Pear Tart Memento Dual Marker mixed with water.

Step 4:
Not pictured: Die cut a piece of watercolor paper with an A2-sized deckled rectangular die. Next, spray the inside of an embossing folder with Frost Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray and emboss the panel as well as add shimmer to the panel. Allow to dry.

Use the same A2-sized deckled rectangular die to cut the bouquet die cut in half while also making sure that the edges of the flowers would line up with the deckled edges of the embossed panel. Glue the flowers onto the top and bottom edges of the panel. Then use a sponge dauber to ink blend the edges of the panel with Teal Zeal Memento Dye Ink.

Step 5:
Stamp a sentiment with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink on a scrap of watercolor paper and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Trim the watercolor paper.

Step 6:
Press the edges of the card panel and the sentiment strip in the Silvery Shimmer Delicata Ink pad.

Step 7:
Splatter more of the Grape Jelly Fireworks! Craft Spray over the card panel. After the splatters dried, glue the sentiment strip on the lower right corner of the panel. Glue sequins on the lower left and upper right parts of the panel. Then glue the whole thing onto an A2-sized white card base to finish the card.

Let’s Make a Happy Thanksgiving Card

Posted on by

By Anna Escalada York

– Thanksgiving cards are a great way to send our thoughts and love to those who are celebrating far away.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 2 hours

Directions:

Step 1:
Stamp a variety of pumpkin stamps and a squash with Summertime VersaFine Clair Ink on watercolor paper. Color the stems of each of the pumpkins and squash with Emerald Fabrico Dual Marker. Heat emboss all of the images with clear embossing powder.

Die cut each of the images with their corresponding die.

Step 2:
Die cut a piece of watercolor paper with a background die cut set. (This die also created additional smaller die cuts that will be used later in the card.) The die cut was colored by swiping Potter’s Clay Memento Ink, followed by coloring the edges of the panel with Rich Cocoa Memento Dual Marker, ink blending the edges of the boxes with leftover Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink on a sponge dauber, and then swiping the whole panel with Celestial Copper Delicata Ink. Splatter the panel with a both Rich Cocoa and Tuxedo Black Memento Dual Markers mixed with water.

Step 3:
Press the frames inside each of the panel’s windows into the Celestial Copper Delicata Ink pad to color them. Heat emboss each of them with clear embossing powder.

Step 4:
Watercolor smoosh the window die cuts with Tangerine Fabrico Dual Marker mixed with water. Splatter the die cuts with the leftover watercolor smooshing mix. Set aside to dry.

Step 5:
Stamp a sentiment from the stamp set on the right edge of the largest die cut window with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink. Shift the die cut a little to the right and stamp the sentiment again with Celestial Copper Delicata ink to create a shadow effect. Heat emboss the sentiment with more clear embossing powder.

Step 6: Use a pumpkin shaped stamp with small flowers and foliage images to stamp each of the four other (smaller) window dies with Celestial Copper Delicata Ink to create additional interest. Then use washi tape on the back of the panel to hold all of the background die cuts together.

Step 7:
Die cut the leaf branch die cut out of watercolor paper and swipe Potter’s Clay Memento ink across the die cut. Then color the stems with the Rich Cocoa Memento Dual Marker and scribble over some of the uncolored parts of the leaves with Tangerine Fabrico Dual Marker. Spray Dandelion Fireworks! Craft Spray on a piece of acetate and press the leaf die cut into the spray to add shine and color. Once that dried, spray the whole die cut with Frosth Shimmer Craft Spray.

Step 8:
Glue the die cut leaf cluster on the lower left corner of the card panel. Then glue one of the larger pumpkins and the gourd on the lower left corner of the card. Add the shorter pumpkin die cut over the other die cuts with foam tape. Glue the whole thing onto a card base to finish the card.

Let’s Make a Coffee Themed Card

Posted on by

By Anna Escalada York

As a coffee addict, I love making coffee-themed cards. I had fun using Memento markers and Fireworks! Sprays to help color the coffee cups and the background. 

Skill: Intermediate 
Time: 2 hours (including dry time) 

Directions: 

Step 1: 
Stamp both coffee cups onto a piece of watercolor paper with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink. Heat emboss them with clear embossing powder. 

Step 2: 
Use Champagne Delicata Ink to add color to the project. 

First, use Champagne Delicata Ink to stamp a larger watercolor panel with a background stamp. Heat emboss the Champagne Delicata Ink with clear embossing powder. 

Then, press the Champagne Delicata Ink onto a piece of clear acetate and spray the acetate with water to liquify the ink. Use the shimmery watercolor to paint the lid of the taller (portable) cup as well as the cup and saucer of the smaller cup. 

Step 3: 
Color in the two stamped images with a variety of Memento and Fabrico Markers. 

● The orange flowers on the taller (portable) cup and mug: Color the outside petals with Tangelo Memento Dual Marker. Then scribble some Rose Bud Memento Dual Marker on acetate and spray with water. Use the pink watercolor to paint the whole flower (including the outer petals which were already colored). 

● The central pink flower on the mug: Color the outer petals with Rose Bud Memento Dual Marker. Then watercolor the center of the flower with more of the pink watercolor used to color the orange flowers (created by mixing water with Rose Bud Memento Dual Marker. 

● Leaves: Color the leaves on both images with Emerald Fabrico Dual Marker. 

● Portable (taller) cup and the mug’s rim: Scribble Lilac Posies Memento Dual Marker on acetate. Then press Champagne Delicata Pigment Ink onto the acetate next to the 

marker. Spray both with water and mix the three to create a shiny light purple color and paint the cup. Then paint the decorative rim of the mug. 

● Sleeve: Scribble Pistachio and Desert Sand Memento Dual Marker onto a different part of the acetate and spray with water. Mix the two colors together and mix with more of the Champagne Delicata Pigment Ink mixed with water. Watercolor the sleeve with the resulting mixture. 

● Coffee in the smaller mug: Scribble Potter’s Clay Memento Dual Marker on the same acetate and spray with water. Mix with more of the Champagne Delicata Ink and paint the coffee in the cup with the mixture. 

Once everything dried, die cut both images with their corresponding dies. 

Step 4: 
Spray the watercolor panel, starting with Potter’s Clay Fireworks! Craft Spray over the majority of the upper half of the panel. While the spray is still wet, lightly spray the panel with Rich Cocoa Fireworks! Craft Spray. Use a paper towel to dab off unwanted spray. Then spray Lilac Posies Fireworks! Craft Spray on isolated areas of the panel. Prop the panel vertically while it dries so some of the spray drips down the panel. Allow to dry. 

Step 5: 
Scribble Lilac Posies Memento Dual Marker on the acetate. Press Champagne Delicata Ink onto the acetate and spray with water again. Mix the two together and watercolor one more time 

on the space in between the body and the handle of the cup so that it more closely matches the background panel. Allow to dry. 

Step 6: 
Stamp the sentiment from the same sentiment as the cups with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink on watercolor paper. Heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Trim the sentiment strip in the paper trimmer. Then press the sentiment strip’s edges into the Champagne Delicata Ink and heat emboss again with clear embossing powder. 

Step 7: 
Die cut a piece of vellum with a mid-sized circle die. Then die cut a piece of black cardstock or black watercolor paper with a die just a little larger than the sprayed background panel. 

Press the edges of the stamped and sprayed background panel into the Champagne Delicata Ink pad and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. 

Assemble the card. Glue the larger (portable) cup onto the right side of the vellum circle. Glue one layer of scrap cardstock onto the right side of the smaller mug and add foam tape behind the left side of the smaller mug. Add glue to the right side of backside of the smaller mug. Then attach the mug to the vellum. The left side of the cup (with the foam tape) directly touches the vellum and the right side of the mug overlaps the taller mug. Add glue on the backside of the 

vellum, making sure to only add glue to the parts of the vellum that will be covered by the two cups. Then add the vellum and cups to the card. Scribble Tuxedo Black Memento Dual Marker onto acetate and spray with water. Cover the cup and vellum with a scrap piece of paper to protect them. Splatter the panel with the Tuxedo Black marker mixed with water and allow to dry. Adhere the sentiment to the panel with foam tape. Glue the whole thing onto the black matte panel. Then glue the whole thing onto an A2-sized card base. To finish the card, glue embellsihments around the coffee cups.

Create a Special Father’s Day Card

Posted on by

By Anna Escalada York

– My dad passed away a few years ago, so I didn’t feel like making a traditional Father’s Day card. Instead, I wanted to make a card that reflected his life as a farmer. He grew citrus in central Arizona for over twenty years and citrus trees always remind me of him.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 2 hours

Directions:

Step 1:
Die cut a piece of watercolor paper with a mid-sized die cut in a nesting A2-sized die set. Then spray the inside of a citrus-themed embossing folder with Eucalyptus colored Walnut Ink Antiquing Solution. Wipe off the Eucalyptus colored Walnut Ink Antiquing Solution off of the lower tangerines and the flowers and tangerine on the upper right corner of the embossing folder. Then place the watercolor paper panel inside the embossing folder before running it through a die cutting machine. Remove the panel from the embossing folder and set aside to dry.

Step 2:
Use a combination of Memento Markers and Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray to color in the flowers, tangerines, branches and leaves on the card panel. Starting with the flower petals, I colored the flowers’ outlines with Rose Bud Memento Marker and then watercolored the petals with Lilac Posies Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray. The centers of the flowers were colored with Cantaloupe Memento Marker before watercoloring them with Dandelion Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray. The leaves were watercolored with Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray.

The branches were watercolored with Rich Cocoa Memento Marker and the tangerines were watercolored with Tangelo Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray. After everything dried, a light watercolor layer of Dandelion Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray was painted over the flower petals. Splatter some of the remaining Dandelion, Cottage Ivy, and Tangelo Fireworks!

Shimmer Craft Spray over the panel. Set the panel aside to dry again.

Step 3:
Press edges of the card panel into Celstial Copper Delicata Ink pad and heat emboss the edges with Champagne Mboss Embossing Powder (retired-substitute)

Step 4:
Die cut a piece of brown cardstock with the next-largest die from nesting die set from step 1. Paint the branches with glitter glue. Allow to dry and then glue the two panels together and then glue the whole thing onto an A2-sized white card base.

Step 5:
Stamp the sentiment with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Use a sentiment strip die (from the same set as the sentiment itself) to die cut the sentiment.

Step 6:
Press the edges of the sentiment strip into the Celestial Copper Delicata ink pad and heat emboss with more of the Champagne Mboss embossing powder (retired).

Step 7:
To finish the card, attach the sentiment strip onto the card panel with foam tape.
