– Hello crafty friends! The new season always brings something new that can surprise us. And new change brings hope, it can be beautiful. Let us embrace it with expectation. Today, we are going to make an art journal together.
Let’s get crafting!
Skill: Intermediate Time: 30-45 Minutes
Direction:
Step 1 First step we are going to build the base watercolor background. Spray randomly each color of the FireWorks! Shimmery Craft Spray.
Step 2 While the spray pains are still kinda wet, spray lightly some water using a sprayer bottle.
Let it sit for a few seconds and then dab off some of the water with a clean dry paper tower. This will create more texture to the background.
Dry the page with a craft heat gun. Make sure the surface is completely dry.
Step 3 Cover the page with some anti-static powder and brush it off the page.
Add the stencil on the page and secure it with a washi tape or low-tack tape.
Add the VersaMark Original ink to the page with finger sponge dauber and remove the stencil off the page.
Add some of the Gold Mboss Embossing Powder and heat set it with a craft heat gun.
Step 4 Randomly on the page, stamp the ledger pattern stamp with VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink using second generation stamping technique.
And then using the stamping technique and ink, stamp the script pattern stamp on the page.
Dry the stamped images with a craft heat gun.
Step 5 Stamp the leaves branch on the page with VersaFine Clair Avocado ink.
Dry the stamped images with a craft heat gun.
Step 6 Put a piece of white cardstock on the stamping tool and stamp the butterfly stamp with VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink.
Do not remove the stamp and paper.
Clean the ink off the stamp with Staz-On All-Purpose Stamp Cleaner.
Step 7 Stamp the same butterfly stamp with VersaMark Original ink.
Add some of the Sparkle Mboss Embossing Powder to the stamped image and heat set it with a craft heat gun.
Step 8 On a piece of white cardstock, gently swipe the VersaFine Clair Pinecone across the cardstock.
Dry the ink with a craft heat gun.
Cut it with one of the Stitched Tag dies.
Step 9 Add the tag to the page with On Point Glue.
Put the butterfly slightly off the page, and then glue the center of the butterfly with some of the On Point Glue. Leave the wings loose.
Cut the extra wing off the page with micro-tips scissors.
Step 10 Stamp the words on a piece of ivory cardstock with VersaMark Original ink.
Add some of the Gold Mboss Ebossing Powder and then heat set it with a craft heat gun.
Cut them with micro-tip scissors.
Draw lines around the word with Memento Marker Rich Cocoa.
Step 11 Add some of the Tear It! Double Sided Tape to 3D fun foam to create your own 3D foam tape.
Add some of the foam tape to each word and add them to the page.
Add some of the foam tape under the wings also to give them a 3D effect.
Step 12 Dab some of the Memento Luxe Wedding Dress ink on the craft mat and spray it with some water.
Pick up the ink with a small round brush, and add some splatters to the page.
Dry the whole page one more time with a craft heat gun.
This mini mixed media art journal page is done. It has a combination of the shimmery background, sparkly butterfly, and shiny gold metallic embossed texture and sentiment.
I hope you like the page and give this tutorial a try. Thanks so much for stopping by our blog today.
– Hello crafty friends! The special day to celebrate our mothers is here. We can celebrate them and show them love in many ways. But today, we are going to make a clean-and-simple handmade card for someone who has been a mother in our life.
Let’s get crafting!
Skill: Intermediate Time: 15-20 Minutes
Direction:
Step 1 Cut out a piece of watercolor cardstock into 4×6 inch and put it on the stamping tool. Stamp the mason jar bouquet image with VersaFine Onyx Black ink.
Step 2 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Summer Sky on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
I used a waterbrush that can easily squish some water out to the brush, but you also can use any small round watercolor brush and clean water. Always have a piece of clean paper towel nearby to dab off too much water.
Step 3 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Bamboo Leaves on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 4 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Rose Bud on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 5 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Cantaloupe on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 6 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Paris Dusk on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 7 Scribble some of the Memento Marker Grape Jelly on the craft mat. Pick up ink with a wet waterbrush and start painting the water in the jar. Dry the paint in between to build up the layer of colors and shadow.
Step 8 Dry the whole watercolored image well with a craft heat gun. Fussy cut the image using the micro-tip scissors.
Step 9 Cut out a piece of white cardstock with one of the Stitched Tag dies. Stamp the sentiment on the tag with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. Dry the stamped sentiment with a craft heat gun.
Step 10 Add some of the VersaFine Clair Arctic ink on the front card base with finger sponge dauber. Dry the ink with a craft heat gun.
Step 11 Put some of the Tear It! Double-sided Tape on the back of the mason jar and add it to the tag. Tie up some of the white twine on the tag.
Step 12 Add the mason jar bouquet tag to the card with some of the On Point Glue.
Step 13 Embellish the card with some of the pearl gems.
This clean-and-simple Mother’s Day card may look simple yet it has layers but it is not bulky so it is perfect to be sent out to someone who has been a mother to you on this special time.
I hope you like this card and give this tutorial a try. Thanks so much for stopping by our blog today. Have a wonderful day!

Memento Marker (Cantaloupe, Bamboo Leaves, Summer Sky, Paris Dusk, Grape Jelly, Rose Bud)
Hello everyone. Von Marie here with my latest project. I chose to make a Mother’s Day Home Decor project today. I used wood veneers and frame and some Beautiful VersaColor inks, and Delicata Golden Glitz to help me make this project fun and colorful. This project is great for a gift or for yourself as a decoration for your craft room. You can even switch it up and make it a Christmas project or anytime project. The video will have all the details. Thank you for watching.
Step 1: Trim a piece of watercolor paper a little bit larger than an A2 sized cardbase (4.5” x 5.75”) and watercolor smoosh the panel with Gray Flannel Memento Ink mixed with water on acetate packaging. Allow the panel to dry. Then repeat the process with Pearlescent Lavender Brilliance Ink and then finally with Champagne Delicata Ink.
Step 2: Stamp stars on watercolor paper with Paradise VersaFine Clair ink. Repeat the process so make the blue of the ink darker. Then heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Then die cut with the corresponding die.
Step 3: Press Blue Belle VersaFine Clair Ink onto another piece of watercolor paper and then use this paper to die cut the sentiment. Die cut two pieces of scrap paper with the same sentiment die and glue the three layers together for dimension.
Use the corresponding shadow die to die cut a vellum shadow layer and glue behind the sentiment.
Step 4: Spray the background panel with Paris Dusk Fireworks! Craft Spray through a stencil. While the spray is still wet, remove the stencil and spray the panel with Summer Sky Fireworks! Craft Spray to move both colors of spray. Splatter some of the light blue areas of the panel with Paris Dusk Fireworks! Craft Spray. Allow panel to dry.
Step 5: Trim the background panel to about 4” by 5.25” and then distress the edges with a pair of scissors. Press the edges of the panel into the Gray Flannel Memento Ink pad and then heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Next, glue the sentiment onto the center-right and the Star was attached with foam tape.
Step 6: Stamp a sub-sentiment on a small piece of watercolor paper with more of the Blue Belle VersaFine Clair ink and then heat embossed it with more of the clear embossing powder. Then distress the edges with scissors and then press the edges into the Blue Belle VersaFine Clair Ink.
Step 7: Attach the sub sentiment onto the panel with more of the foam tape. Then glue the whole panel onto an A2-sized white cardbase to finish the card.
