Quick and Easy Stenciled Pumpkin Thanksgiving Card

Posted on by

By Kathi Rerek

Here’s a quick and easy Thanksgiving card using a beautiful pumpkin stencil, Memento Dew Drop Inks, and a sticker!

Skill Level: Beginner
Time: 45 minutes

Instructions:

Step 1:
Use low-tack tape to adhere the Pumpkin Flourish stencil to the top of a piece of text cardstock and the craft mat. Run a stylus tool along the tape seam between the stencil and the cardstock to create a hinge so that you can pick up the stencil to check out ink coverage.

Step 2:
Use Post-It Notes to cover the leaves and the pumpkin on the Pumpkin Flourish stencil. Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Rich Cocoa Memento Ink along the edges of the pumpkin’s stem onto the text paper. Use another Sponge Dauber to apply Toffee Crunch Memento Ink over the Rich Cocoa Ink and onto the rest of the stem.

Step 3:
Use Post-It Notes to cover the stem and the pumpkin on the Pumpkin Flourish stencil. Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Bamboo Leaves Memento Ink around the outside of the leaf flourishes on the stencil onto the text paper. Use another Sponge Dauber to apply New Sprout Memento Ink fill in the open areas of the leaf flourishes on the stencil.

Step 4:
Use Post-It Notes to cover the stem and the stem on the Pumpkin Flourish stencil. Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Dandelion  Memento Ink over the pumpkin area of the stencil onto the text paper.

Step 5:
Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Morocco Memento Ink over the outside edges of the pumpkin stencil onto the text paper. Working from the outside of the pumpkin stencil towards the center of the pumpkin stencil, use separate Sponge Daubers to apply Tangelo Memento Ink, then Canteloupe Memento Ink over the stencil onto the text paper.

Step 6:
Use a Fantastix to apply Rhubarb Stalk Memento Ink over the flower on the stencil onto the text paper. Apply the ink more heavily on the outer and inner edges of the flower stencil.  Apply the Rhubarb Stalk Memento Ink very heavily on the center of the flower. Use a second Fantastix to apply Elderberry Memento Ink to the outer dot circle in the center of the flower stencil.

Step 7:
Remove the low-tack tape and the stencil from the panel. Position a piece of low-tack tape horizontally across the bottom of the image panel right below the stenciled pumpkin. Use Sponge Daubers to apply Rich Cocoa and Toffee Crunch Memento Inks  over the tape and onto the text paper.

Use the Rich Cocoa Memento Ink and its Sponge Dauber to tint a “Happy Thanksgiving” Idea-ology Small Talk-Occasion sticker. Trim the image panel to 4.75” square, edge with the Rich Cocoa Memento Ink, and adhere the sentiment sticker to the upper right of the image panel.

Step 8:
Use Tear It! Tape to adhere the layers of the card.

Double Stencil Technique Halloween Card

Posted on by

By Ceil Pritchett

Hello crafty friends!
It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a fun technique using stencils. It’s called Double Stenciling or Double Trouble fitting for Halloween, right?

Skill Level: Beginner
Time: 30 Minutes

Directions:

Gather your supplies. You will need two stencils, a Halloween stamp set and a word die cut. You will also need two or three inks. I used one of the newest VersaFine Clair colors along with two of the original ones. A sticky mat, tape or something to hold your stencil in place would be useful as well.

Step 1:
Lay your panel on a sicky mat of tape it down to hold it in place. Lay your first stencil on top and ink it up with VersaFine Clair Monarch.
(As you can see, I don’t usually clean my stencils)

Step 2:
Remove the first stencil and replace it with the second stencil. Ink it up with VersaFine Clair Verdant.

Step 3:
Remove the second stencil and go over the entire panel with VersaFine Clair Lilac Bloom one of our gorgeous new colors.

Afterwards cut the panel down to 5 x 3 3/4

This background reminds me of that old wallpaper you would see in a haunted house.

Step 4:
Stamp, color and fussy cut out the image and word die.

Finish the card by adding the panel to an A2 sized card base and adding the elements placed where you would like them.

Products Used:

 Imagine:
VersaFine Clair: Verdant, Monarch, Lilac Bloom
Memento Markers: Cantaloupe, Grape Jelly, Tuxedo Black ,Gray Flannel and Tangelo
On Point Glue

Make a Beautiful Pumpkin Thank You Card

Thankful 12

By Alison Heikkila –

Greetings! Alison here and today my latest tutorial for Imagine is a textured, fall-themed thank you card. I can see making a bunch of these to put as place setting on your Thanksgiving table, as a thank you to your guests for celebrating the holidays with you. I used several simple techniques on this card that when combined, look really fancy and festive. 

Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Time: 45 minutes- 1 Hour

Thankful 2

Directions:

 

Thankful 3
Step 1: 

Using a piece of metallic cardstock, run it through your die cutting machine with an embossing folder. 

 

Thankful 4
Step 2: 

Using a sanding block, a piece of sandpaper, or even a nail file, sand the raised areas of the embossed cardstock. This will give it an aged or distressed look. 

Step 3: 

Gently rub Spiced Chai StazOn ink across the surface to add more interest to the piece of cardstock. 

Thankful 5

Step 4: 

On a Gel Press Plate, gently tap the Cappuccino Delight Kaleidacolor Inks across the surface. You can use a brayer to blend the colors, as well as a few spritzes of water or Ink Potion No. 9. 

Thankful 6

Step 5: 

Lay white cardstock on to the Gel Press Plate and rub to get the ink to transfer. Pull the print and let it dry. I pulled a couple of prints and then chose my favorite to use for this card. 

Thankful 7

Step 6: 

Die cut a pumpkin out of the monoprint.

Thankful 8

Step 7: 

Die cut a bigger pumpkin out of brown cardstock and ink the edges with Golden Glitz Delicata Ink. 

Thankful 9

Step 8: 

Die cut the sentiment out of cream colored cardstock and ink the edges with Desert Sand Memento Ink. 

Thankful 10

Step 9: 

Add Tear It Tape to the back of the embossed panel. I like to use this adhesive when I am working with a piece that has a lot of texture. It holds everything in place really well, and you don’t need to worry about liquid adhesive getting “stuck” in the wells. 

Step 10: 

Assemble the rest of the card. I used On Point Glue to attach the rhinestones. 

Thankful 11 600

Isn’t it pretty? 

 I love all of the shine from the embossed panel. I also really like seeing all the colors on the pumpkin through the die cut. I hope you’ll give some of these techniques a try!
