Hello there! Today’s tutorial is to show you how easy is create texture with Memento Inks. This is a very simple process that you can create with a score lines and or embossing folders. On this card, I used Memento Ink Desert Sand, Peanut Brittle and Teal Zeal.
Skill: Medium
Time: 45 minutes
Directions:
Step 1:
Create score lines over a piece of White Smooth Cardstock. This will be your top layer and you can decide the wide or directions of the lines accordingly with your design.
Step 2:
The lines of my sample card are 0.5” wide and I am using a regular size of cardstock for an A2 card, 5-1/2”x4-1/4”.
Step 3:
Pass the ink pad of Memento Ink Desert Sand directly over the scored panel following the vertical scored lines. Just keep in mind that you need to go border to border to obtain a uniform coverage.
Step 4:
Before to introduce the inked layer inside of an embossing folder the type of image that you want to obtain. You can use the embossed raise or the debossing. In my sample, I used the emboss raise side. Pass your embossing sandwich through your die cut machine.
Step 5:
Using a different color of ink to cover the raised pattern of your embossing folder. On this card, I am using Memento Peanut Brittle
Step 6:
Let the ink dry naturally or speed the process with a heat tool. Now you can assemble the card and decorate it.
Step 7:
To make the message of the card, I used a clear stamp sentiment and an hexagon die cut. I stamped the sentiment with Memento Ink Teal Zeal.
Step 8:
I used the same die cut as frame to add some color to the message. I just applied the Memento Ink Desert Sand with a sponge after securing the die cut over it with washi tape.
Step 9:
To coordinate the colors of your card, you can pass an additional coat of ink to the top layer in a coordinating color with your card. In my sample, I used the Memento Ink Teal Zeal.
Just assemble your card and decorate with some embellishments. To paste the layers I used Tear It! Tape

Hi my crafty friends! Today I have a new tutorial for you that may help you to use your fall dies in a new way. I will be using the VersaColor Inks to make a mess, yes…a mess that turns out to be BEAUTIFUL! We will be creating gift card tags for any occasion using fall leaf dies.
Skill Level: Intermediate
Time to Complete: 1 hour
Make a mess. Yes, take a piece of 80lb card stock and swipe those VersaColor inks. Smoosh ‘em, splatter ‘em, do whatever you want with them. Use those reinkers that you have sitting on your shelf.
Let these panels dry. Because the VersaColor inks are a pigment ink they take a while to dry, let them dry! Go have a cup of coffee and take a peek at more inspiration on the Imagine Blog.
Use your leaf dies to cut several leaves from your messy panel. Trust me! Are they pretty?
Use a gift card tag die to cut some tags.
You should be able to get three holders from one sheet of 8.5” x 11”.
Once cut, splatter some gold watercolor paint all over the panels.
Fold and score your gift tags. Use the Imagine Tear It! Tape to assemble.
Lay out your pretty leaves and glue them down with Imagine On Point Glue. Trim off any excess.
Stamp some sentiments, cut, and create a shadow strip from gold card stock. Adhere with On Point Glue. Put some foam tape on the back and adhere to your tags. Add some bling with the On Point Glue.
Loop some twine through the holes and the gift holders are done. I hope this has helped you seen those fall products in a new light. Thank you for stopping by the Imagine Blog!

There are many Kaleidacolor pads that are in the autumn themed pallet. Even though this card is multi-layered it comes together in a short amount of time considering all of the inked embellishments!
Skill: Intermediate
Time: 2 Hours
Trim cream cardstock to 5” x 5” and center the overlay and stamp on the center rotation point of the Turn About Stamp. Place on stamp platform to pick up stamp, and remove overlay.
Ink up the stamp with Kaleidacolor in Autumn Leaves with the green end of the pad and stamp the image. Rotate the paper 90 degree to the right.
Ink up the stamp with Kaleidacolor in Desert Heat with the orange end of the pad and stamp the image. Rotate the paper 90 degree to the right.
Ink up the stamp with Kaleidacolor in Cappuccino Delight with the brown end of the pad and stamp the image. Rotate the paper 90 degree to the right.
Ink up the stamp with Kaleidacolor in Desert Heat with the red end of the pad and stamp the image. Rotate the paper 90 degree to the right. After I started the card I realized it can also be completed with two complementary Kaleidacolor pads, just by using opposite ends to ink the image. Die cut the completed wreath with a circle die cut.
Ink the sentiment from the red end of the Kaleidacolor Desert Heat pad and stamp.
Die cut the sentiment. The edges are then blended in with an Ink Dauber and the yellow end of the Kaleidacolor Desert Heat pad.
More embellishment is added with included stamps from the set from various sections of all three Kaleidacolor pads.
Spritz a section of cream cardstock with Ink Potion No. 9. This will allow the ink to spread more uniformly on the cardstock. Generally glossy cardstock works best, but the rest of the card was regular cream cardstock, this is a good work around.
Using a 2” rubber brayer add ink liberally to the white cardstock until fairly well blended. All three Kaleidacolor ink pads are used on one piece of cardstock with the intention to have several colors to die cut the coordinating leave dies.
Decorate the front of the 5” x 7” card front in the same way the sentiment die is inked and stamped in Step 8.
Arrange die cuts from the brayered section of cardstock on the card base. Use repositionable adhesive to pick up the edges of the die cuts and flip over the entire front circle wreath. Add dimensional foam adhesive to secure die cuts in place. (You will notice that the reverse side was the first try, however it wasn’t the best, so it is simply flipped over and the other side was used. You only see the mistake in the demonstration step!)
Adhere stamped wreath to card front. Adhere the sentiment to the center of the stamped wreath with dimensional foam adhesive.

Hi there friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with a fun Thanks card, using products you might not think about when not using them in the means intended.
I purchased a few (4) Hot Foil Dies a couple months ago, and didn’t have the machine needed to play with them. So I’ve been thinking, and decided to use them like a letter press. I inked up the Fall Leaves with VersaFine Clair Pigment Ink in Tulip Red, Summertime Cheerful, Verdant and Pinecone, taped it to a panel of Mixed Media Cardstock and then did the same with the word “Thanks”, using Delicata Golden Glitz. I used a piece of heavyweight cardstock and rubber embossing pad, on my big shot platform, then added my panel with the foil plates adhered to it and then the regular top plate, ran it through my big shot twice (forward then back) and wow, other than a little over-inking where I tried to cover up with some sequins they turned out amazing. I used On Point Glue to adhere the sequins and Tear It! Tape to adhere the panel to my cardbase. I also heat embossed the secondary part of the sentiment using Mboss Gold Embossing Powder.
Hope you enjoy. Watch until the end and let me know which card you prefer, the card on the left without the sequins or the card on the right with the sequins. Oh, forgot that I used Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz on my panel as well.
Thanks for watching, have a great day.
