Fun Ink Blending With Stencils

Posted on June 10, 2024 by Imagine

By Amalia Montano

I’ve had these stencils for some time, and the vibrant colors and rich textures of Tsukineko inks were perfect for these designs. I love Tsukineko inks for their versatility, stunning colors, and ease of use. They also come in various themed color sets. For this project, I used both VersaFine colors and Dew Drop VersaMagic ink pads.

Make a Butterfly Birthday Card

Posted on April 30, 2024 by Imagine

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
Pitch Black cardstock – Hero Arts

Create Your Own Plaid Paper with Memento

Posted on July 11, 2023 by Imagine

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

Supplies Used

Imagine:

– Memento Dew Drop – Love Letter, Teal Zeal, Peanut Brittle, Espresso Truffle

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

Posted on June 12, 2023 by Imagine

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.
