Hello crafty friends! This time, I want to share an idea with you for Father’s Day. This card has a fun colorful stenciled background. It is also not too hard to make.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 30 minutes
Directions:
Step 1
Make an A2 size card out of heavy-weight white cardstock. One piece of 11 inch x 8.5 inch cardstock can make 2 cards.
On the front card, tape the stencil with washi tapes to secure it in place while you add colors with some sponge daubers.
Add the VersaColor ink one by one using a different sponge dauber for each color you use. Make sure the colors you pick can blend well.
When you are done adding colors, remove the stencil, set aside the stenciled card to dry.
Step 2
On a piece of white cardstock, stamp the image with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad using a stamping tool.
Use a craft heat gun to dry the ink quickly.
Step 3
Next step, cut the sentiment with a rectangle die.
I also cut out a piece of black cardstock using 2 different rectangle dies to create a frame. This step is an option, if you want to add more layers to the card.
Step 4
Add the sentiment panel at the center of the stenciled card with Tear It! Tape, and add the black frame to the card with the same adhesive.
Step 5
On the inside card, stamp the sentiment with the VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad.
Use a craft heat gun to dry the ink after stamping.
This card looks like it has a couple layers of die cuts but still flat enough to send it out on regular mail without extra cost.
I hope you will give it a try to make this fun colorful card for Father’s Day! Thanks so much for stopping by our blog today. Have a wonderful day!
I’m continuing my experimentation with Metallic Brilliance Inks with this Father’s Day card using two of my favorite themes – cats and Steampunk!
Skill Level: Advanced Time: 2.5 Hours
Directions:
Step 1: Use a brayer to apply Starlite Silver Brilliance Ink to a 5” x 7” Gel Press. Place a piece of black mixed media paper onto the Gel Press. Smooth the back of the paper to transfer the in and pull a print.
Step 2: Repeat Step 1 to enhance the coverage.
Step 3: Clean the brayer, then use it to apply Starlite Black Brilliance ink to the Gel Press. Place the print back onto the Gel Press inked side down. Smooth the back of the paper, then pull the print. Heat set the inked paper, then clean the brayer and the Gel Press.
Step 4: Place the inked black mixed media paper into the Foundry 3D Alterations Embossing Folder. Spritz the back of the paper with water. Close the folder and run it through a die-cut machine.
Step 5: Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Cosmic Copper Brilliance Ink to the high points of the embossed paper. Heat set.
Steps 6A and 6B: Use Fantastix to apply Turquoise Gem VersaMagic Ink randomly to the high points of the embossed paper (6A). VersaMagic Ink has a matte chalk finish which comes out when it’s heat embossed.
Use another Fantastix to Apply Mango Madness VersaMagic Ink randomly to the high points of the embossed paper (6B). Heat set the panel and set aside.
Step 7: Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the cat from the Steampunk Pets Clear Stamp Set onto white cardstock.
Step 8: Fussy-cut the image and use Copic markers to color it. Use a dark marker to edge the cut image. Set aside.
Step 9: Use the largest die from the Sprightly Sprockets Shapeabilities Die Set to cut black mixed media cardstock two times. You will end up with two cogs and two circles.
Step 10: Sponge Lightning Black Brilliance Ink over one of the cog die-cuts and one of the circles. Heat set both.
Step 11: Use On-Point Glue to adhere the inked cog atop the other one.
Step 12: Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Starlite Silver Brilliance ink to one of the circles from Step 9. Heat set.
Step 13: Place the silver-inked circle into the Gears Alterations Folder and run it through a die-cut machine.
Step 14: Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Cosmic Copper Brilliance Ink to the high points of the embossed circle. Heat set.

Use another Fantastix to Apply Mango Madness VersaMagic Ink randomly to the high points of the embossed paper (15B).
Step 16: Use Tear It! Tape to adhere a slightly larger circle to the back of the stacked cog die-cuts.
Step 17: Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Starlite Silver Brilliance Ink to a strip black mixed media paper. Sorry that there’s no photo. Use cog dies to cut the silver-inked black paper.
Step 18: Use a C2 Copic marker to color a piece of white cardstock. Use magnets to secure the colored cardstock onto a stamping platform. Place the “Happy Father’s Day” sentiment stamp facedown on the colored cardstock. Ink the stamp with Turquoise Gem VersaMagic Ink and stamp. Repeat inking and stamping if necessary to attain a good impression. Remove the stamped cardstock from the stamping platform and heat set the ink.
Step 19: Use a rectangle die to cut the sentiment. Use the matching nameplate die to cut the Lightning Black circle. Adhere the sentiment die-cut atop the nameplate die. Sorry that there’s no photo.
Step 20: Use Tear-It! Tape to adhere the embossed circle and the Steampunk Cat onto the cog die-cut. Use the tape to adhere the sentiment as shown.
Step 21: Use On Point Glue to adhere the gears, cogs, and screws to the sentiment die-cut.
Step 22: Cut black cardstock to 10” x 7”. Score at 5” and fold to form a 5” x 7” card. Use Tear-It! Tape to adhere the image panel to the front of the card.
Hello Friends! Katy here and today I am sharing how I blended my Fireworks! Sprays with Memento Ink pads to create some custom colors.
In todays video tutorial I am use some Fireworks! Pear Tart, Bamboo Leaves and London Fog sprays mixed with Memento inks in greens and blues to create a Father’s Day card. I find any type of leaf foliage works really well for masculine cards and this one is no exception. I added some splatter with remaining blues and London Fog Fireworks! and also used some irRESISTible spray in Wedding Dress to complete the look. The video below has all the details, check it out below.
