In today’s tutorial you will learn to create a super easy wood sign using the ever versatile VersaFine Clair inks. The VersaFine Clair worked beautifully for this project that took just under and hour from design concept to completion! The ink pads are nice and juicy, so the first stamp image was perfect every time, which is helpful when free hand stamping with out a stamp platform.
Skill: Beginner
Time: 1 Hour
Directions:
Step 1:
Remove twine from the sign so it will lay flat on your work surface. With lines on the sign already in place it was easy to line up the sentiment and acrylic stamp block. Once the stamps are aligned, place a large acrylic block over the stamps lining up the edges to allow perfect positioning.
Step 2:
Stamp the sentiment in VersaFine Clair Pinecone and heat emboss with clear Embossing Powder. Gives the sentiment a bit of shine and keeps it from smearing!
Step 3:
Using and ink blusher ink the edges of the sign with VersaFine Clair Cheerful. Start from the outside edge and blend toward the center to create a slight ombre look.
Step 4:
Using and ink blusher ink the edges of the sign with VersaFine Clair Summertime. Start from the outside edge and blend toward the center but not as far as the Cheerful layer.
Step 5:
The leaf images are stamped using a very old stamp that features Fall leaves. The Oak leaf is stamped in VersaFine Clair Acorn, the Aspen leaf in Summertime, and the Maple leaf in Tulip Red. The sign can be heated with a heat gun, or set aside until the ink dries.
Step 6:
Replace twine through holes in the sign and display!

Versa Clair Fine is now my favorite pigment ink! So versatile and allowed me to create a beautifully colored card in just a few steps. This is one of the few cards that my husband has asked me to specifically make for a friend, it was easy to do with just a few inks, stamps, and dies!
Skill: Intermediate
Time: 2 hours
Directions:
Step 1:
Stamp sunflower images on yellow cardstock with Versa Fine Clair Cheerful and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Stamp leaf images on light green paper in Versa Fine Clair Green Oasis and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Die cut with matching dies.
Step 2:
Place flowers and leaves face down in matching shaping mold and mist lightly with water. As the images are heat embossed, they will stay sharp and crisp. Close mold and pressure emboss.
Step 3:
Remove flowers and leaves from mold and set aside to dry. Once dry assemble flowers with On Point Glue, adding black glitter to centers. (Not shown) Set aside to dry.
Step 4:
Ink the edges of an A7 size card with and ink dauber and Versa Fine Clair Green Oasis. Set aside to dry, as the ink is very juicy.
Step 5:
Sunflowers are a rustic flower, so corrugated cardstock seemed to be a good choice for a background. Versa Fine Clair in Cheerful and Summertime are inked randomly on the corrugated cardstock with ink daubers.
Step 6:
Ink the sentiment with Versa Fine Clair in Green Oasis and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Die cut with die from the Eyelet Frame Gateway set. I trimmed off a portion of the sentiment, then edged the sentiment with Versa Fine Clair in Summertime.
Step 7:
Die cut a Border from the Regal Boarder set using light orange paper. Gently shade the edges with Versa Fine Clair Summertime and an ink dauber.
Step 8:
Adhere corrugated cardstock to base card with Tear It Tape! Adhere border with On Point Glue Adhere flowers with Tear It Tape!

Hello Friends! Katy here and today I am creating place cards for my Thanksgiving table. Now I know some people may not do this, but I have added a bit of a twist to mine. On the inside I have included some encouraging and uplifting sentiments to let my loved ones know I appreciate and love them and that I am thankful and grateful to have them at my table for the holidays. Just a little something to make them smile this holiday season.
In today’s video tutorial you will see how easily these cards came together using some Memento Inks and I also share where my inspiration came from. I also mention these would be great tombstones for Halloween!
I cut a piece of heavyweight white card stock 2 3/4 inches wide by 8 inches long and scored at 4 inches and then used the number 8 arch die within the Spellbinders Essential Arches layering dies.
To create the card simply fold the card at the score line and place the arch of the die a bit above that folded line so the die is off the top of the card stock and then run it through your die cutting machine.
The video below has all the details. I hope you enjoy and are inspired to add some inspirational place cards at your table this holiday season.
