Make a Butterfly Birthday Card

Posted on by

By Ceal Pritchett

Hello crafty Friends!

Today I am sharing some creativity using the Memento Dew Drops in rainbow colors.
To make my card, I used a faux watercolor technique that I will share the steps below.

Skill: Beginner to Intermediate
Time: 30 to 45 minutes

Directions:

For the background, you will need a water friendly piece of cardstock, like Bristol or heavystock which I am using. A background stamp, a rainbow of ink colors and a water mister bottle.

Step 1:
Randomly ink up the background stamp with the different colors of ink and ten spritz with water.

Step 2:
Place your panel of cardstock down on your craft mat, then place the inked background stamp that you spritzed with water over it and press down. Allow it to sit for a few seconds and then lift the stamp off to see the results.

Step 3:
Die cut the sentiment. I cut three of the backers in white and the sentiment once out of black. Adhere them together using On Point glue. 

To finish the card, adhere an A2 black panel of cardstock to the A2 card base. Cut down the butterfly panel to 4 X 5.25 and adhere to black panel. Adhere the die cut sentiment in the center of the butterfly panel.

Products Used:

Imagine:
• Memento Dew Drops
Rose Bud, Tangelo, Dandelion, Pear Tart, Teal Zeal, Danube Blue and Grape Jelly
On Point Glue

Other Supplies:
Butterfly background stamp – Hero Arts
Happy Birthday Die – Honey Bee Stamps

We’re going to use dye re-inkers on a Gel Press Plate with a pretty stencil to make some cool wintery monoprints.

Create Your Own Plaid Paper with Memento

By LV Handcrafted

– Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). In today’s video I’m showing how to use your Memento Dew Drop inks to create a perfectly coordinated card. First, I created a background using Love Letter and Teal Zeal to create a plaid. I made a custom ink color by over-stamping multiple times with both colors!  I used Teal Zeal to create a coordinating solid color cardstock by just swiping it across white cardstock.  Finally, I smooshed Love Letter and Teal Zeal and used a waterbrush pen to color in my stamped image.  For the skin, I used Peanut Brittle and for the hair I used Espresso Truffle.

Skill: Beginner

Time: 20 minutes

Father’s Day Card Using Memento and Fireworks! Craft Sprays

Posted on by

By Katy Ingram

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.

Greetings! It’s Kathi here to show you how to create fairy card with a magical shimmer using Memento Inks and Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spray.

Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate

Time: 1.5 hours

Instructions:

Step 1:

Smoosh Paris Dusk Memento Dew Drop Ink onto the craft mat. Mist with water and use a paint brush to apply diluted ink to the right edge of a 5.25” x 4” panel of watercolor paper.

Repeat with Blue Danube and then with Bahama Blue Memento Dew Drop Ink Pads until the entire panel is inked. Heat set the panel.

Step 2:

Ink the Sheet Music Texture Red Rubber Cling Stamp with Blue Danube Dew Drop Ink and randomly stamp onto the panel.

Step 3:

Spray the panel with Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spray. Heat Set and admire the sparkle!

Step 4:

Using a stamping platform, position the Trinity Fairy Clear Stamp onto the image panel. Ink with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp. You might need to re-ink and stamp to achieve a clear impression.

Remove the panel from the stamping platform and heat set.

Step 5:

Place the image panel back onto the stamping platform. Position one of the notes from the Music Notes Small Clear Step Set facedown above the fairy’s horn. Ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp.

Remove the note stamp from the stamping platform. Place another note stamp from the same set, slightly to the right of the previously stamped note. Ink and stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp.

Remove the second note stamp from the stamping platform. Place the four notes stamp to the right of the other notes. Ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and stamp.

Heat Set the notes.

Step 6:

Smoosh the Rose Bud Memento Dewdrop Ink pad onto the craft mat. Mist with Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spray.

Use a paint brush to apply the shimmery pink ink to the fairy’s wings. Heat set.

Step 7:

Trim the image panel to 3 5/8” x 4 7/8”.

Use a Sponge Dauber and Paris Dusk Memento Ink to edge the top part of the image panel. Use the Sponge Dauber and Blue Danube Memento Ink to edge the bottom part of the image panel.

Step 8:

Create an A2 card from white cardstock. Insert a piece of scrap paper into the card.

Use Sponge Daubers to ink the periphery of the white card with Paris Dusk and Blue Danube Memento Inks.

Step 9:

Cut a piece of black cardstock to 3 3/4” x 5”.

Use Tear It! Tape to mat the image panel with the black cardstock panel, then use the tape to adhere the matted panel to the inked card.
