– Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). Let your imagination fly and make your own Kaleidacolor ink pad! It is so easy to create any combination of 5 colors. Mix and match any set of dye ink refills to create your favorite color blends. These fun ink pads make it so easy to create ombre backgrounds and papers to die cut from. For this card, I combined several small sentiment stamps and used my rainbow ink pad to ink up my stamps and create a custom rainbow sentiment background — you can’t do that with any other ink pad!
Hello crafty friends! Today, I have the easiest and simple tutorial to make a unique thank you card or any type of cards. Let me share the project with you.
Skill: Beginning Time: 60 minutes
Directions:
To make my model, I decided to use Radian Neon 4 Warm for two reasons. The first one is because I love the colors of this set of inks and the second, because Radian Neon brings the opportunity to create textures.
Step 1:
Select the colors of inks that you want to use in small sizes pads. For this idea, you can use any of our 4 Inkpads or small presentations like the Dew Drop of other inks, like Brilliance, VersaMagic, Delicata or Memento, just to mention some.
Step 2:
Place the entire ink pad over the cardstock in the direction that you want the colors. I press mine three times over the card under different pression to obtain different textures in each color.
Step 3:
Let the ink dry naturally or speed the process with a heat tool. If you want, you can cover the stamped blocks of ink with clear embossing powder and emboss them with the heat tool, to obtain a better texture.
Step 4:
Stamp a sentiment over the color blocks using VersaFine Clair Nocturne to add a major contrast over your card.
Step 5:
Heat embosses the sentiment with clear embossing powder and paste the decorated layer over your card base.
As you can see this is a really simple way to use your ink pads as stamps. Depending on the pression and intensity that you apply over the ink pad or 4Ink Pad, you will obtain different looks.
Thanks for stopping by and remember, you don’t need to create complicated projects. Just use the best inks and let your creativity shine!
– Howdy friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here and today I have to share with you a fun and easy shaker card that I made using paper, a layering stencil, a shaker pocket and some shaker bits.
Hey y’all. I so enjoy to watercolor and I love that you don’t have to have fancy watercolors to create something special. Today we’ll use VersaColor reinkers in the colors Cardinal and Canary to paint the poppies in a gorgeous reb rubber cling background stamp from My Favorite Things. I’ll also use a VersaColor inkpad in the color Turquoise for the background and to mix with Canary to create greens for the project.
– Greetings! It’s Kathi here. In today’s tutorial, I am going to show you how to create a shimmery Thank You card using multiple Brilliance Ink colors.
Skill: Beginner to Intermediate
Time: 1.5 hours
Directions:
Step 1:
Cut a piece of Mixed Media paper to 4” x 5.25”. Using a Sponge Dauber, apply Sky Blue Pearlescent Brilliance Ink to half of the panel. Use another Sponge Dauber to apply Orchid Pearlescent Brilliance ink to the other side. Blend the two colors of ink in the center.
Repeat this step with a second piece of paper. Set this piece aside to be used later.
Step 2:
Spray Isopropyl Alcohol onto ink blended paper panel and let sit for a minute. The alcohol will lighten, blend, and add white speckles to the paper. Heat set.
Step 3:
Use Removable Scotch Tape to tape the background panel to the back of the Mosaic Stencil, then use an Ink Sweeper to apply Moonlight White Brilliance ink over the stencil onto panel.
Step 4:
Remove the tape and the stencil. Heat set.
Step 5:
Use three flower dies from the Wildflowers 1 Thinlits Die Set to cut Mixed Media Paper.
Step 6:
Use Sponge Daubers to apply Pearlescent Purple, Pearlescent Ice Blue, and Pearlescent Lavender to the flowers. Use Fantastix Brush applicators to detail the flowers with Mediterranean Blue Brilliance, Pearlescent Sky Blue Brilliance, Grape Jelly Memento inks. Color the flower stems and leaves with Pearlescent Thyme Brilliance and Cottage Ivy Memento inks.
Step 7:
Use the Belly Band and “thanks” dies to cut the extra panel of paper created in Step 1.
Step 8:
Adhere the flower die-cuts to the stenciled panel. Adhere the Belly Band die-cut over the flower stems. Adhere the “thanks” die-cut to the center ornament of the Belly Band.
Step 9:
Cut a piece of white cardstock in half. Score and fold to form an A2 card. Put a piece of scrap paper inside the card, then use a Sponge Dauber to apply Purple Brilliance ink around the edges of the front of the card. Heat set.
Step 10: Use Tear It! Tape to adhere the image panel to the card.
Hello Friends! Katy here and today I am excited to share this really cool background technique.
In today’s video tutorial, I am sharing how I use some All Purpose Inks, Delicata Inks and a 3D embossing folder to create a Gilded/Aged Celtic background. I have to admit I am in love with these backgrounds and in the video I show two ways to create it and both give different results depending on how you apply the ink. I also give some alternatives to the products I am using in the video, so be sure and watch to find out what they are. This technique will work with any embossing folder and I will for sure be using it with other folders I have in my stash.
