Hey there crafty friends! It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing how I made this colorful fall card using a turnabout stamp set, some VersaFine ink pads and the Stampwheel.
Time: 45 Minutes Skill: Intermediate
Directions:
Gather Supplies: I haven’t shared a turnabout card here yet and I wanted to do that because they are my favorites. Gather your supplies, you will need a stamp platform, a Turnabout stamp and some of your favorite inks. I love VersaFine Clair because they are so vibrant.
Step 1: Line up our turnabout stamp using the alignment guide that comes with the stamp. The Stampwheel is easy to line it up because you line up the lines.
Step 2: Ink up the stamp with the first color, I used Carrot Orange and placed it in the tabs at the top of the stamp wheel. I labeled my stamp wheel 1-4 so I would know where I am when stamping.
Step 3: Rotate the top, ink up the stamp with the next color (I used Warm Breeze) and place the plate down in the tabs.
Step 4: Rotate the plate and ink up with the next color, I used Golden Meadow (I think I had some blue left on my stamp therefore it turned green).
Step 5: Rotate the plate and ink up the final color, I used Chianti. Next cut down your panel to 5 x 3.5 and adhere to the wheat panel
Step 6: Die cut the sentiment and backer panel. I love how the die has where it scores the words into the backer so when you go to add the letters they fit perfectly. To finish the card add the sentiment to the card.

Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. Today I wanted to share a coffee themed birthday card that would be perfect for any coffee lover. This card is easy to put together but I really love how it turned out. I hope you’ll enjoy today’s tutorial!
Directions:
Step 1: Let’s start by die cutting the coffee pots. I used Classic Crest Epic Black cardstock to die cut the pot lid and holder. This is my go-to black cardstock because it’s ultra smooth and super easy to work with.
Step 2: For the french press, I decided to use Bright Foil Silver cardstock to mimic the look of stainless steel. This is actually my first time using silver foil cardstock and I am impressed by the final look. The silver foil really adds a metal-like finish to the die cut.
Step 3: For the actual coffee die cuts, I chose Lessebo Colors Coffee Bean cardstock from CutCardstock. It’s the perfect shade for coffee – I have other brown cardstock in my stash but they are either too dark or too light, so I am really glad I picked up this cardstock to add to my stash.
Step 4: Now let’s die cut the glass containers. You could use white cardstock, but I opted for Curious Translucent vellum today instead to create a softer tone. The Curious Translucent vellum I used is 65lb cover weight. It’s a lot thicker than the vellum I typically use so it’s the perfect base layer for our coffee pot die cuts. The heavier weight also feels luxurious and I am sure it would look nice for wedding invitations as well.
Step 5: Once all of the elements have been cut out, I adhered them together with On-Point glue. The fine tip nozzle is so handy for adhering intricate die cuts.
Step 6: Next, I trimmed a piece of Strathmore 100% Cotton Watercolor cardstock to 3 ½’’ x 4¾’’. Then I blended VersaFine Clair Acorn ink for a soft brown background.
Step 7: Even though the coffee pots are the focal point of today’s card, it doesn’t feel complete without some stamping. I picked the coffee bean stamps from Stampin’ Up’s coordinating Latte Love set and stamped them with VersaFine Clair Acorn and Pinecone ink pads. The VersaFine Clair Acorn ink looked like a soft tan shade when blended, but you can see that it’s closer to an acorn color when stamped.
Step 8: Finally, I stamped a punny latte sentiment from iCrafter’s Latte Coffee Sentiments set with VersaFine Clair Pinecone, and the card is ready for assembly. I hope you enjoyed today’s coffee themed birthday card. Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope I’ll see you soon.
Hello everyone. Von Marie here with my latest project. I have something other than a card today. A scrapbook page. I chose a smaller layout as the 12 x 12 can be intimidating. This is a 8×8 and so much fun. I used my favorite inks to help make this project fun. All the details are in the video. Thank you for watching.

Hello Everyone! It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing how to create this die-cut coffee cup gift card holder.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 45 Minutes
Directions: Gather your supplies. You will need a coffee cup die or a similar gift card holder die. A layering stencil and several colors of ink.
Step 1: Cut out pieces of coffee cup and sleeve. On the sleeve I used a score board to add lines to make it look corrugated.
Step 2: Place the first stencil over the cup and blend with a green ink. I used VersaFine Clair Spruce. Be sure to mark a corner so you will know where to lace the next stencil.
Step 3: Place the second stencil over the cup and add the color you would like for the flowers. I used VersaFine Cair Lemonade.
Step 4: Place the third stencil over the cup and add the color for the second flower. I used VersaFine Clair Wisteria Purple.
Step 5: Place the last stencil over the cup and blend a green ink for the leaves. I used VersaFine Clair Melon Soda.
Step 6: Place the stencil over the lid and blend a grey ink over it. I used VersaFine Clair Misty Morning.
Step 7: Glue the lid and sleeve on the decorated cup and add a sentiment. Can be inside or out. I placed mine inside.

I always love when I can share my love for pop culture in the cards that I make. This card gave me the perfect opportunity to create a colorful galaxy background using the new VersaFine Clair ink colors, along with shimmer sprays and layered stamping for a fun mixed media look. Skill: Intermediate
Time: 1.5 hours Directions:
Step 1: Die cut a watercolor panel with a mid-sized die from an A2-sized die set. Stamp the smaller android image in the lower-center part of the watercolor panel with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
Stamp the image a second time on masking paper and fussy cut out the image. Then place the fussy cut masking paper over the android image.
Step 2: Stamp the taller android image to the left of the first droid with more Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. (Since the first android was masked, it will appear like the second droid is behind him since his right hand will not be seen in the final image.) Stamp the same image a second time with more masking paper and fussy cut the masking paper. Then place the masking paper over this android so that both of them are protected for the next few steps.
Step 3: Stamp a circuit image stamp twice on the watercolor panel with Dahlia Purple VersaFine Clair Ink by stamping once in the lower left corner and then rotating the watercolor panel 180 degrees and stamping the image a second time. Heat emboss both stamped corners with more clear embossing powder
Step 4: Spray Rose Gold Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray generously through a scattered star stencil. Use the spray to add more clear embossing powder to the panel. The embossed stars will resist color that will be applied to the panel in the next few steps.
Step 5: Spray the watercolor panel with London Fog Fireworks! Craft Spray. If desired, blot off some of the spray with a paper towel if it is too dark. Allow to dry.
Step 6: Remove the masking paper. Color the androids and the area around them to help them look grounded. Use the following markers to color the scene:
● The smaller android (on the right): Teal Zeal and Danube Blue Memento Dual Markers as well as Tropical Lagoon and Poppy Red Fabrico Dual Markers
● The taller android (on the left): Cantaloupe and Dandelion Memento Dual Markers, Lemon Yellow Fabrico Dual Marker
Watercolor the area around the androids with Rich Cocoa Memento Dual Marker mixed with water on acetate to create the ground around the two androids, and Ultramarine Fabrico Dual Marker mixed with water on acetate to color the sky/walls behind he androids. Allow to dry.
Step 7: To add shimmer to the androids, watercolor both of them with Frost Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray.
Step 8: Press the edges of the watercolor panel directly into the Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink Pad. Then use a sponge dauber to blend additional Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink around the edges.
Step 9: Stamp the sentiment on a separate piece of watercolor paper with more Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Then trim the sentiment with a paper trimmer.
Step 10: Die cut a matte layer of black watercolor paper (or black cardstock) with the next-largest die from the nesting die set used in step 1. Glue both panels together. Attach the sentiment on the lower right corner of the top watercolor panel with foam tape. Glue star-shaped and bronze sequins on the lower left and upper right corners of the card. To finish the card, glue the whole thing onto an A2-sized card base.
