Create a One-of-a-Kind Multimedia Thank You Card

Posted on by

By Anna Escalada-York

I used to be intimidated by the idea of multimedia cards, but all they are cards that have different types of products. This card features stamping, watercoloring with sprays and Amplify! Ink, and embossing.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 2 hours

Directions:

Step 1:
Spray Sweet Plum Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray onto a 6” x 6” stencil and then flip the stencil over and gently press the stencil onto a piece of watercolor paper. Repeated this process with and Rose Gold Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray, partially overlapping part of the stencil on the watercolor paper. Repeat the process a few times, overlapping the stencil a few times and then set the panel aside to dry.

Step 2:
The next three steps use a layered floral stamp set. Stamp the outline of the flower with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink onto another scrap of watercolor paper and then heat emboss with clear ink.

Step 3:
Stamp the second layer of the floral layer stamp set with Pink VersaColor ink onto the flower.

Step 4:
Stamp the third layer of the floral layered stamp set with Charming Pink VersaFine Clair ink. Then heat emboss with more clear embossing powder.

Step 5:
Die cut the flower with the corresponding die.

Step 6:
Use a sponge dauber to ink blend more Pink VersaColor ink onto the flower using a matching stencil–using more ink and pressure on the outer petals, and less ink and less pressure on the inner petals.

Step 7:
Press New Sprout Memento Dye Ink onto a scrap of watercolor paper to start to add green textured color onto the watercolor paper.

Step 8:
Spray Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray onto the same scrap of watercolor paper. Allow to dry.

Step 9:
Die cut leaves out of the green watercolor paper using two leaf cluster dies.

Step 10:
Stamp Spruce VersaFine Clair Ink onto a woodblock typewriter key stamp and press the die cut leaves onto the stamp. Set the leaves aside to let the ink dry.

Step 11:
Die cut the inked watercolor paper from step 1 with the second-largest die in a nesting A2-sized die set.

Step 12:
For more texture and interest on the panel, use the Gold irRESISTible Pico Embellisher’ fine tip applicator to add the medium directly onto part of the stencil. Then flip over the stencil and press it onto the watercolor panel. (You may want to put a paper towel over the stencil before pressing or you will probably get some on your hands.)

Step 13:
Run more Pink VersaColor ink along the edges of another piece of watercolor paper to make the edges pink. Then die cut the panel with the largest die from the nesting A2-sized die set from step 11.

Step 14:
Add a small drop of Black Radiant Neon Amplify! onto another sponge dauber and press the dauber onto the same woodblock typewriter stamp and partially stamp the smaller panel multiple times.

A couple of smudges were mistakenly stamped onto the panel, which were mostly dealt with by splattering more Black Radiant Neon Amplify! mixed with water onto a piece of acetate and then splattered onto the panel.

Step 15:
Die cut another piece of watercolor paper with a sentiment die and then spray the die cut multiple times with Rose Gold Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray.

Step 16:
Assemble the card by gluing the leaves and sentiment onto the smaller panel. Attach the flower to the panel with foam tape. Then glue the two panels together and glue them both onto an

A2-sized white card base. Finally, glue sequins around the flower.

I used to be intimidated by the idea of multimedia cards, but all they are cards that have different types of products. This card features stamping, watercoloring with sprays and Amplify! Ink, and embossing.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 2 hours

Directions:

Step 1:
Die cut a piece of watercolor paper.

Step 2:
Spray Dandelion Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray onto the center part of an embossing folder and Frost Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray around the edges. Place the die cut watercolor panel in the embossing folder. (The folder had some residual color from a previous project, but it will be covered up later.)

Step 3:
Rub a Sunflower Yellow Brilliance Ink pad over the edges of the embossed watercolor panel.

Step 4:
Stamp the main image onto another piece of watercolor paper with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink. Heat emboss with clear embossing powder.

Step 5:
Use a variety of sprays and other media to color in the image.

  • The leaves were watercolored with Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray.
  • The green stems were colored with Emerald Fabrico Dual Marker.
  • The small branches were colored in with Rich Cocoa Memento Dual Marker.
  • The flowers were watercolored with Angel Pink Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray on the petals. After the petals dried, the center of the flower and the center part of the petals were water colored with Cantaloupe Shimmery Craft Spray. Finally, the outside parts of the petals were colored with Lulu Lavender Memento Dual Marker.
  • Electric Orange Radiant Neon Amplify! pigment ink and Cantaloupe Shimmery Craft Spray were mixed on a piece of scrap acetate and was watercolored onto the tangerines.

Step 6:
Die cut the image with the corresponding die.

Step 7:
Press Angel Pink Memento Dye Ink onto a scrap of watercolor paper. After the ink dries, spray Angel Pink Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray onto the same scrap of watercolor paper and allow it to dry.

Step 8:
Die cut the pink watercolor paper with a thanks sentiment die and a piece of vellum with the sentiment’s shadow die.

Step 9:
Glue the tangerine image onto the embossed watercolor background panel. Then glue the sentiment die cut to the vellum shadow sentiment die cut. Glue the sentiment onto the panel as well.

Step 10:
Glue the panel onto a 6” by 6” square cardbase. Glue sequins on the lower left and upper right parts of the panel to finish the card.
