Hello everyone. Von Marie here with my latest project. I chose to make a Mother’s Day Home Decor project today. I used wood veneers and frame and some Beautiful VersaColor inks, and Delicata Golden Glitz to help me make this project fun and colorful. This project is great for a gift or for yourself as a decoration for your craft room. You can even switch it up and make it a Christmas project or anytime project. The video will have all the details. Thank you for watching.
Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. Are you planning on making a Mother’s Day card this year? I want to share a simple sketch that you can use with any layering stencils you may have.
Let’s begin crafting!
Step 1: I am using Altenew’s Styled Background layering stencil set for today’s card. Let’s start by trimming a piece of Classic Crest Solar White to 3 ½’’ x 4 ¾’’. After that, we can start ink blending stencil 1 with Memento Lulu Lavender ink.
Step 2: Next, ink blend Memento Summer Sky ink with stencil 2. I really like the idea of separating the floral images into two layers; it gives us so much creative freedom and the color combination is endless!
Step 3: Stencil 3 is the base layer for leaves. I used Memento New Sprout ink. It may be difficult to spot in this photo, but I created a color gradient by blending more ink in some areas and having a lighter hand for others.
Step 4: Now that the base images are ink blended, we can start with the layering. Stencil 4 includes leaf stems, and I used Memento Bamboo Leaves ink. This stencil also contains floral centers. Since the stems and floral centers are quite close to each other, I had to mask some areas while ink blending. If you have smaller blending brushes, you could skip the masking step.
Step 5: I used Memento Paris Dusk ink to ink blend the floral centers.
Step 6: This is what the background panel looks like after ink blending all 4 layers. I love the look of soft, pastel colors and am so pleased with the final result.
Step 7: After ink blending, we are ready to add the sentiment of the card. I chose Stampin’ Up’s Mini Alphabet die to spell out “Happy Mother’s Day”, but you could use any sentiment die you may have. I decided to die cut with CutCardStock DCS Hydrangea Purple and Plum Purple for some added contrast. These cardstock have a smooth side and a textured side; I opted for the textured side today.
Step 8: Next, trim a piece of CutCardStock DCS Hydrangea Purple to 3 ¾’’ x 5’’ and mount the ink blended panel on top. Then adhere it to a CutCardStock DCS Plum Purple card base. Finally, apply On-Point Glue to the back of the letter die cuts and adhere them to the card panel to complete the card!
Hello everyone. Von Marie here with my latest card. Let’s make a woodgrain background with some pretty Tsukineko inks. We will also be watercoloring and inking so I hope you enjoy as I had so much fun making this card. There will be more details in the video. Thank you for watching.

I am a big fantasy nerd, and was so excited when we were given the option to share a fairy tale project with you this month.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1.5 hours
Directions:
Step 1: Stamp a dragon and a small mountain range on watercolor paper with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and heat emboss them with clear ink. Then die cut both images with their corresponding dies.
Step 2: Die cut a piece of watercolor paper with an A2-sized background die. Take the circular die cut element from the die cut watercolor paper and using an old sponge dauber–which has some parts of the sponge missing due to heavy use–to rub more Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink across it. Then spray the die cut circle with Silver Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray. Set aside to dry.
Step 3: Color the die cut dragon with Desert Sand and Lilac Posies Memento Dual Markers.
Step 4: Add Gold irRESTible medium onto the 4 freckles on the dragon’s hip using the Pico Embellisher. Then mix some of the Gold irRESTible medium with water and splatter the black die cut circle.
With the remaining irRESTible medium mixed with water, paint the wings and belly of the dragon to add some shine. Set aside to dry.
Step 5: Color the mountains with Rich Cocoa Memento Dual Marker. Then press a White Shimmer Delicata Ink pad onto some acetate packaging and spay with water. Use this shiny watercolor to paint the clouds and snowy tips of the mountains. (While you can’t see this in the picture, the Delicata ink added some subtle shine to the image.) Watercolor smoosh the remaining watercolor onto the circular die cut and allow everything to dry.
Step 6: Returning to the die cut watercolor panel from step 2, stamp a sentiment on the lower right corner of the panel with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Then press more of the White Shimmer Delicata ink mixed with water onto the panel to add some sparkle. Allow to dry.
Step 7: Assemble the card. Glue both parts of the watercolor panel onto an A2-sized white card base. Glue the mountain range as well as gold stars and rhinestones onto the panel. Then attach the dragon with foam tape to give her some dimension to finish the card.

Hello everyone! It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a spring get well card (you could make yours for any occasion) using a stamp and stencil combo. Stencils make it so easy to color.
Skill: Beginner to Intermediate Time: 30 Mins
Directions:
Gather your supplies. You will need a stamp/stencil combo, several colors of ink and a marker for details. In the photo I have an orange ink but I actually used a pink.
Step 1: Using a black ink stamp the floral image. I used Memento Tuxedo Black.
Step 2: Using the leaves portion of the stencil and two colors of green, color the leaves. I used Memento Pear Tart and Bamboo Leaves
Step 3: Using the floral portion of the stencil, color the flowers yellow. I used Memento Dandelion.
Step 4: Using the detailed portion of the stencil color the area pink (which turns into a pretty peach) I used Memento Angel Pink.
Step 5: Stamp and cut out the greeting and cut a couple extra pieces for dimension. Adhere the panel with the flowers to the card base and then adhere the greeting anywhere you’d like on the card front.
