Let’s Make A Summer Wedding Card

Posted on by

By Kathi Rerek

Let’s make a summer wedding card with Memento and Golden Glitz Delicata Inks!

Skill Level: Intermediate
Time: 1.5 hours

Instructions:

Step 1:
Use a stamping platform and VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink to stamp the Arty Hearts Collage Cling Stamp onto white cardstock.

Step 2:
Use a stamping platform and VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink to stamp the wedding rings from the Accessorize Clear Stamp Set twice — once onto 140 lb. Mixed Media Cardstock and once onto repositionable label paper.

Step 3:
Apply Clear MBoss Powder to the stamped image, dump the excess back into the packet, and heat set the image.

Step 4:
Add a few drops of Golden Glitz Delicata Ink to a small container. Dilute with a few drops of water.

Step 5:
Use a brush to paint the wedding rings with diluted Golden Glitz Delicata ink. Set aside.

Step 6:
Place the Arty Hearts Stencil over the image stamped in Step 1. Use Sponge Daubers to apply Angel Pink, Rose Bud, Summer Sky, Danube Blue, Lulu Lavender, Lilac Posies, Dandelion, and Tangelo Memento through the stencil onto the stamped hearts on the image panel. Set aside.

Steps 7A and 7B:
Smoosh Summer Sky Memento Ink onto a piece of acetate packaging. Mist the acetate with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol, then smoosh onto the right side of a piece of white cardstock.

Clean the acetate, then repeat this process using Angel Pink, Rose Bud, Danube Blue, and Dandelion Memento Inks until you’re happy with the ink coverage on the panel.

Safety Note: Please be sure to have good ventilation via an open window to minimize your exposure to alcohol fumes.

Step 8:
Fussy-cut the sticker paper version of the Wedding Rings from Step 2. Place atop the image. Use low-tack tape to secure the small rectangle die from the Specimen Thinlits Die Set onto the image panel. Run the die through your cutting machine.

Step 9:
Keeping the image panel in the die, use a Sponge Dauber to apply Angel Pink Memento Ink over the die onto the die-cut, which will leave a thin white border around the pink

Step 10:
Place the die-cut onto the base of a stamping platform. Ink the “Congratulations” stamp from the More Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set with Nocturne VersaFine Clair and stamp. Re-ink and stamp again if necessary to attain a good impression.

Step 11:
Adhere the heart-stamped and stenciled panel (Steps 1 and 6) onto the left side of the smooshed ink panel (Step 7). Add a foil border sticker to cover the seam.

Use a Sponge Dauber to edge the heart image panel and the rings/sentiment die-cut with Golden Glitz Delicata Ink.

Step 12:
Use Tear It! Tape to adhere the card front to a white A2 card.

“Cheers To The Best Dad” Father’s Day Card

Posted on by

By Jessica Lin

Hi everyone! I think I found my go-to die set for making cards for guys! It’s always been hard for me to come up with masculine card designs. This Brewed die set featuring beers, ale, and wine is gender-neutral and just perfect for a Father’s Day card.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 30 minutes

Step 1:
Ink blend a gingham pattern using the Artistic Mix masks with Memento Paris Dusk ink. I like to emphasize certain areas and use a light hand for others to create variations of shades.

Step 2:
Die cut the beer and hops elements using different color cardstock.

Step 3:
To add some foamy details to the beer foam, apply a layer of Radiant Neon Amplify! Then heat set with your heat gun until a bubbly texture starts to puff up. I haven’t used these in a long time and was surprised with how well the result looked! There’s no waiting time for drying, either. Just heat set as soon as you apply the liquid layer. 

Step 4:
Assemble the die cut elements with Tear-It Tape and foam tape. I used On Point Glue to adhere the two “Cheers” die cuts. The fine tip nozzle is really handy for applying small amounts of glue to intricate die cuts. For the final step, I heat embossed the sentiment with white Mboss powder and that completes the card!

Tent Cards with Easy Ink Blending Using VersaColor

Posted on by

By Amalia Montano

I love to color! I am an avid Copic marker fan and adore using  watercolor on stamped images. Sometimes I like taking a more liberal rather than literal approach to coloring images. If you do not like to color this is the video and project for you! Find some simple lined floral images and use sponge daubers to daub, rub, smear or pounce color on. Versacolor inks are blendable and provide jut the right dry time to create a smooth finish to your design. I used heat embossing with white MBoss powder on white cardstock so the outline would stand out but not overpower. This created a soft feminine hue to the image. This would also look great in black ink. Give it a try!

Skill: Beginner to intermediate
Time: 20 minutes

Craft Supplies:

VersaColor In Pads in Canary, Rose and Cardinal
Sponge Daubers
VersaFine Clair Pinecone Ink Pad
MBoss embossing powder in Iridescent Opaque

Let’s Make a Funky Background Card

Posted on by

By Helen Gullett

Hello hello hello crafty friends! Today, I have this Funky Card to share with you. Creating that funky background is super fun and easy. I totally had fun with some of the VersaColor ink pads!

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 30 minutes

Direction:

Step 1
We will work on a whole piece of 8.5 inch x 11 inch heavyweight white cardstock. Pick 3 or 4 colors you want to use. Make sure the choice of colors won’t muddle when you mix them together.

Roll the mini brayer directly on the VersaColor ink pad several times.

Step 2
Roll the inked mini brayer on the white cardstock in any direction you want vertically and horizontally.

Do the step 1 and step 2 several times for each color you want to use for your background.

Step 3
After several times adding inks on the cardstock with a mini brayer, you can add more layer on top of the first one you did, or you can fill in the space as you want.

Use the Staz-On All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner and paper towel to clean the brayer.

Step 4
Next, pick a funky pattern background stamp to add texture on the inked cardstock.
Stamp the background stamp on it with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink Pad for contrast colors.

Step 5
Stamp it several times until you fill the whole cardstock. This will look very funky and messy but don’t worry you’ll find it will be fun to use it on project later.

Step 6
After adding ink colors with mini brayer and stamping, the craft mat will look like in the picture above. Don’t panic! The inks will clean right off the mat with that amazing Staz-On All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner. Simply dab some of the cleaner on the mat and use paper towel to clean all the inks off. Repeat as needed.

Use the stamp cleaner also to clean ink off the background stamp, too.

Step 7
Next step, use the paper trimmer to trim cardstock into 4 – 4 ¼ inch x 5 ½ inch background panels.

Step 8
Cut one of the background panels using 2 sizes of rectangle dies.

Step 9
Add some of the Tear It! Tape on the back of the largest frame. Peel off the backing and add the frame to an A4 card base (4 ¼ inch x 5 ½ inch card).

Step 10
Add some of the Tear It! Tape on thin fun foam to create some thin strips of 3D foam tape.

Add the foam tape on the second frame (the middle cut out), and add it to the card. Make sure the pattern matching with the first one on the card.

Final step for the background, add the last piece of the cut out in the middle of the card just with the Tear It! Tape.

Step 11
Stamp the flower on a piece of white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink Pad using stamping tool or acrylic block.

Step 12
Add some of the Sparkle Mboss Embossing Powder directly on the stamped image and heat it up with a craft heat gun. After embossing it, fussy cut the flower with micro-tip scissors (or use the matching die set if available for your stamp).

Repeat step 11 and step 12 for the sentiment. And then cut the sentiment with a label die (or you can just trim it with paper trimmer).

Step 13
Put together the flower and sentiment label with On Point Glue. Put a couple acrylic blocks on them and let the glue to dry.

After that, add them to the card with some of the fun foam in the middle and secure the edge on the raised frame with On Point Glue.

Here’s the finish card with some funky patterns and dimensions. Isn’t it fun? I hope you will give it a try and have fun creating your own funky background card.

Thank you so much for stopping by our blog today. Have a wonderful day!
