Independence Day Celebration Card

Posted on by

By Ceal Pritchett

Hello crafty friends!
It’s Ceal, back to share another project with you.  We always have a cookout on the 4th of July and invite our family. I always make invitations to send out for it and I am sharing the one I made for this year.

Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Time: 45 minutes to an hour

Directions:

Gather your supplies. You will need an A2 card base, blue cardstock strips, a white panel, gold foil paper, star dies, a stencil that has July 4th elements on it, Ink, and paste of some sort.

Step 1:
Place the white panel in the Misti or other stamp positioner on a grip or sticky mat. Mask off portions of the panel that you do not want ink on. Using Red (VersaFine Clair Strawberry used here ) ink and a blending tool cover the celebrate with ink. Remove stencil and clean for next step.

Step 2:
Lay the firework part of the stencil over the part that you just inked up and mask off the portion of the card so the paste will not get on it.

Step 3:
Using a squeegee spread the paste (I used gold) over the firework part of the stencil. Be sure to clean the squeegee and the stencil promptly because the paste will harden.

Step 4:
Add the star to the center of the firework and the blue strips of cardstock to each end of the panel. Add panel to the card base

By Katy Ingram

Hello Friends! Katy here with another quick project for you. Today’s card is for Father’s Day, but as always you can use this design for what ever you need!

I decided to do a monochromatic theme. What’s that mean really? Well that simply means consisting of one color or hue. Today’s color or hue is blue. Great for masculine. Todays project also allows us to stretch our supplies by using a holiday background stamp, genius I know. Check out the video below for all the details.

Make a Father’s Day Card for Your Home Improvement Hero

Posted on by

By Jessica Lin

Skill Level: Medium
Time: 30 min

Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. Today I would like to share a Father’s Day card that showcases different tools to thank my dad for all the home improvement projects he has done in the past year. I also ink blended Memento inks on the die cut pieces to create more depth. If you’d like to learn some tips and tricks on ink blending small paper elements, just keep reading!

Step 1:
First, I die cut several tools from a silver cardstock. I’ve had this paper for a long time since my scrapbooking days, and I am glad to finally use it again. I also adhered Stick It sheets to the back of the silver cardstock before die cutting, so that all of the elements are adhesive backed. This will make adhering to the small tool pieces easier and mess-free.

Step 2:
Die cut again with colored cardstock to create the handles on the tools. I used So Saffron cardstock for the wrench and Cajun Craze cardstock for the hammer.

Step 3:
For the power drill, I used Misty Moonlight and Blueberry Bushel cardstock. I also die cut a bolt from the silver cardstock to decorate this power drill.

Step 4:
One of the things I love about this die set is that it includes this pegboard die. You can extend the size of this die by matching up the holes on the die with a row of die cut holes and die cut again. They will fit like a puzzle and it almost feels like it is “locked” once the fitting is matched up.

Step 5:
I decided to dress up the die cuts further by ink blending the edges with Memento Inks. Since the die cut pieces are small, I opted for the small sponge daubers instead of my regular blending brushes. These small daubers are great for precise ink blending. I also lay the die cuts on Altenew’s Grip Mat, which conveniently secures the paper pieces and ink pads so they don’t shift around when ink blending.

Step 6:
The Jumbo Dauber is also a great blending tool. I used Desert Sand Memento Ink to add some shadows to the bottom edges of the pegboard piece.

Step 7:
Finally, I adhered the pieces with Tear It Tape and stamped the sentiment from Stampin Up’s Heartfelt Hello set. This card was fun to put together and I hope you enjoyed it.

Elegant Card for a Wedding or Engagement

Posted on by

By Ceal Pritchett

Hello crafty friends!
It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing how to create a simple but elegant wedding card. 

Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Time: 45 Minutes

Directions:

Gather your supplies. You will need a stamp set with a floral image and wedding sentiments. An A2 sized die and some wedding themed dies, a stamp positioner and a shimmer ink pad.

Step 1:
Using a Misti or stamp positioner and a grip mat place the cardstock panel in the center. Place the floral stamp on the corner of the panel and ink with shimmer ink (I used Delicata Silvery Shimmer) stamp, you may have to stamp more than once to get a clean image. Turn your paper, no need to move the stamp thanks to the Misti and ink it up and stamp again on the other corner. This ink is a pigment ink therefore it takes a little longer to dry, you can speed that up by heat setting it.

Step 2:
Cut the panel with the die keeping both pieces. Also cut out the wedding themed dies.

Step 3:
Place the card base in the corner of the Misti and then glue the borer of your die cut pieces down first. I always place it in the corner of the Misti, this helps me line it up.

Step 4:
Add the main die cut piece using foam tape to give it dimension.
Tip: after adding the foam adhesive to the panel also add some liquid glue, this allows you to move the panel to get it in place.

Stamp the greeting on a strip of paper and cut it out. Add all of the elements to the card.
