Hello crafty friends. It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a Mickey and Minnie Birthday card with you. I am a long time Disney fan and I have a couple Disney sets of Disney characters in my stash.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 45 Minutes
Directions:
Gather your supplies. You will need a set of fictional characters that you’re a fan of, markers, black ink, colored ink, and a white gel pen.
Step 1: Stamp the image using black ink. I used VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.
Step 2: Stamp the image again on Post-it note paper or masking paper using black ink.
Step 3: Fussy cut the images out and cover the images that were stamped on the panel. Then using a colored ink blend a circle of ink around the images. I used one of the newest colors of VersaFine Clair, Lemonade.
Step 4: Remove the mask and color the images with markers. I used the Memento marker, Love Letter.
Step 5: Using a white gel pen, add polka dots to Minnie’s dress. To finish the card, add a greeting (I went with birthday) and adhere the panel to an A2 card base.

– Summertime means wearing sunglasses here in the Pacific Northwest and getting ready to spend time out of doors! I wanted to celebrate the return of the warm sun and the 4th of July with this red, white and blue card that could be used anytime during the summer.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1.5 hours
Directions:
Step 1: After die cutting the three pairs of sunglasses as well as their lenses (which are separate in the die set), color part of the lenses’ elements with Danube Blue Memento Dual Marker.
Step 1.5: Remember that you need to color all of the parts of the lenses that you intended to color with the Danube Blue Memento Dual Marker. (Whoops!)
Step 2: Press other parts of the die cut lenses into the Arctic VersaFine Clair ink pad. Heat emboss the larger die cuts with clear embossing powder if desired. (I chose not to heat emboss the letters since they were so small.) Then assemble all of the lenses using washi tape on the back of each lens to hold the pieces together.
Step 3: Press the three die cut sunglass frames into the London Fog Memento ink pad.
Step 4: After die cutting the striped background panel, color the stripes with Poppy Red Fabrico Dual Marker
Step 5: Spray all of the components of the card–the sunglass frames, the lenses and the striped background panel–with Frost Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray and allow to dry.
Step 6: Assemble the card. Adhere the striped panel to an A2 white card base, then inlay the red die-cut stripes. Then glue the three frames onto the panel and inlay the frames into the frames. Glue clear rhinestones on the lower left and upper right part of the card to finish the card.

Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. Wedding season is right around the corner, so I wanted to share a wedding card idea that features a gender-neutral palette. I often struggle with cards that are for male recipients, but this color combination I have in mind today is less-feminine and perfect for the groom.
Step 1: Trim a piece of DCS Dolphin Gray cardstock to 5 ½’’ x 8 ½’’ and score in the middle at 4 ¼’’ to create the card base. Cut CardStock offers many beautiful shades of gray cardstock; I chose DCS Dolphin Gray because it is a nice weight of cardstock that can still be easily embossed. The embossing folder I used here is called Distressed Tile by Stampin’ Up.
Step 2: Next, stamp the focal image with VersaFine Clair Sand Dune ink on Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. VersaFine Clair Sand Dune has been a new favorite ink of mine for outline images; I used to only stamp the outlines with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink, but this Sand Dune color is such a great neutral alternative. This large and elegant flower is from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set.
Step 3: After stamping, die cut the images with the coordinating dies.
Step 4: I decided to ink blend on the leaves to add some color. Since the flower petals are large, they were easy to mask off. Classic Crest Solar White cardstock is ultra smooth and ink blends beautifully with Memento New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves inks.
Step 5: Then, trim DCS Canvas Textured Lava Stone Gray cardstock to a ¾’’ x 5 ½’’ strip, and heat emboss on the smooth side. The darker shade of gray really makes the sentiment stand out.
Step 6: Finally, add a strip of DCS Indigo Blue for an additional pop of color. A dark green cardstock would actually look great, too. Adhere all of the layers to complete this gender-neutral wedding card.
