Hi there friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with a fun Turnabout Stamping Project anyone can do. This is for all levels. With this stamp set you will start with a single piece of cardstock cut to 6″ x 6″ set up your stamp, ink up the full stamp in one color, turn your paper 1 turn to the right or left, and then ink in 2nd color, turn 1 turn again same direction as before and ink in next color, then one final turn in same direction, ink up again. Once dry cut panel to 4″ x 5.25″, apply to a card base that is 4.25 x 5.5″, I prefer top folding for this. Add your sentiment, some jewels and your project is complete.
Good morning! Kathy here, creating art for Imagine Crafts! Today I have a new tutorial for you. Today’s project is an Easter card but it is also about creating your own backgrounds with Imagine Craft’s Ultimate Pigment Ink Refills! If you don’t have much patterned paper this is an easy background using the refills and baby wipes!
Skill Level: Easy
Time to complete: 1 hour
Step 1
Cut a piece of a layering weight, white card stock to 4.25” x 5.5”. This will be enough for three holders. Grab your favorite ink refills. For today’s card I used Imagine Craft’s Ultimate Pigment Ink Refills in Canary and Pink. Grab a baby wipe and fold it up nicely.
Step 2
Dab your ink onto the baby wipe in an alternating order.
Step 3
Now just swipe across your card stock. YES you will get messy! But it’s fun. You may need to add some more drops. Make sure when swiping that you line up your baby wipe with the last swiped color as you move along.
Step 4
Time to get messy again! We will spray Sheer Shimmer Spray in Gold all over the panel. I use an old box and lay the panel inside. This contains the spray a bit. The sparkle of these sprays is so pretty and available in so many colors!
.
Step 5
I also unscrewed the top of the Shimmer Spray and splattered some random spots. I splattered some small spots using metallic watercolor paint.
Step 6
Next, I cut some scalloped frames and glued them together with On Point Glue. I used a coordinating pink card stock. Trim the background panel to fit behind the frame and adhere with On Point Glue from Imagine Crafts.
Step 7
I die-cut some an Easter Egg I had in my stash several times. I used the scalloped frame to die-cut the edges so they would fit perfectly against the frame. I also cut an additional egg to use as the main focal point.
Step 8
I traced the actual die and cut a solid egg out. I adhered this behind the main egg and adhered with glue. I took the insides of the die cut and just painted some of the pink and yellow refill ink on alternating stripes I also added 2 gold stripes from a metallic card stock.
I stamped, colored and die-cut a cute bunny. I used alcohol markers but any coloring medium will work. I stamped the Easter sentiment on the same pink card stock. I used VersaMark Ink, covered with gold embossing powder and heated. The sentiment, main egg and bunny are popped up with foam tape. The entire panel is added to a horizontal folded A2 card base with foam tape as well. The last thing I did was add a few confetti sequins!
I hope you enjoy this card and the tutorial. Thanks for stopping by I appreciate all of you! Please head over to the Imagine Crafts website to see all the beautiful products. Here is the link IMAGINE CRAFTS.
– Howdy friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn with a fun Easter card made using a wood blog stamp and some peg stamps from Stamps by Judith. Also used a grass/cloud stencil and had a whole lot of fun. The sentiment stamp is from Lawn Fawn’s Happy Add On Collection.
In today’s crafting tutorial, I will show you how to use a single stamp image and stamp each line with a different ink color. I will also share how to blend VersaMagic inks for a background and take it up a notch by dry embossing.
Skill: Intermediate
Time: 1 hour
Directions:
Step 1
Place image on stamp positioner and use a post-it to cover the bottom three lines of the image. I used a sentiment stamp from Unity Stamp Co. titled “Everything Easter” with four lines of text. Use a paper piercer to tuck the post-it securely in place. Ink the top line with VersaMagic in Aloe Vera. Remove post-it and stamp image on cardstock. Clean ink off of the post-it so you can use it for subsequent steps. Clean image after stamping and moving to Step 2. Repeat this after each step through Step 4.
Step 2
Use two post-its to cover lines 1,3 and 4 and ink image with VersaMagic in Spring Pansy.
Step 3
Use two post-its to cover lines 1,2, and 4 and ink image in VersaMagic Sea Breeze.
Step 4
Use a post-it to cover lines 1,2, and 3 and ink image in VersaMagic in Spring Pansy.
Step 5
Clean the entire image and ink in VersaMark and stamp image over the colored lines. Heat emboss with Iridescent Embossing Powder.
Step 6
Using ink blushers ink a section of 4″ x 5.25″ cardstock in VersaMagic Aloe Vera, Spring Pansy, and Sea Breeze and blend into each color. Use an ink blusher to ink over the heat embossed sentiment image with VersaMagic Pixie Dust.
Step 7
Pressure emboss 4″ x 5.25″ blended color cardstock with Lifestyle Crafts Tide embossing folder.
Step 8
Use a sanding block or sandpaper to gently remove the color from the raised areas of the embossed cardstock. The white color of the cardstock will show through.
Step 9
Die-cut sentiment image and use and ink blusher to in the edges in VersaMagic Spring Pansy.
Step 10
Ink the edges of an A-2 (4.25″ x 5.5″) card base in VersaMagic Spring Pansy.
Step 11
Adhere layers together with foam adhesive. Adhere pearl embellishments in curly- ques of the embossed background. Adhere pearl embellishments to the center of small flower sequins and adhere with On Point Glue. Tie a triple looped bow from sheer ribbon and adhere with On Point Glue.
Today I am sharing a quick Easter Tag using some fun splats stamps and the gorgeous range of StazOn ink colors. Plain stamped images in bright and fun colors are a classic look and so versatile – making Easter decorations extra special with a touch of handmade.
Skill Level: Beginner
Time: 20 minutes
Directions:
Step 1
Use a splat stamp and stamp a sheet of white cardstock using different colors of StazOn ink. Stamp one color at a time and then clean your stamp using StazOn Stamp cleaner before inking your stamp with the second color. Repeat and stamp your third color.
Step 2
Once you have stamped all your StazOn colors, use a yellow VersaFine Clair ink and fill in any gaps on your cardstock.
Step 3
Cut your cardstock sheet into tag sizes measuring 3×6”. Then stamp your bunny and wording in VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.
Step 4
Use Rose Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz to add some ink splats across the tag and leave to dry. Tie onto a gift bag using baker’s twine.
