Hello there! During summer our time es limited and today I have an easy and fun Back To School Card featuring several of Imagine products, like VersaColor, Memento Ink and Markers and VersaFine. During the process you will see how all the different inks looks according to the project.
Skill Level: Beginner
Time to Complete: 30 Minutes
Take a piece of a dark color cardstock to create the background. On my sample, I am using dark grey, but this type of stamping looks great in additional colors like red, blue or black. Select the stamp set that you prefer to create the background.
I selected an alphabet set of stamps but I stamped the entire sheet at once. To make it, just secure the entire sheet over the stamping tool. To create the soft look, I used VersaColor White. It is a soft ink ideal to emboss or create shadows.
If you are not heat embossing it, let the piece a side for a while to ink dry naturally or use a heat tool to speed the process.
In a separate piece of white smooth cardstock, stamp the spiral image using VersaFine Onix. Let the ink dry naturally and you will obtain a crisply image. Or if you prefer, you can heat emboss the stamped image to add a shiny look.
Stamp the focus image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
Color all the details with Memento Dual Tip Markers.
TIP: Keep in mind that you can use your Memento Dual Tip Markers with both inks, VersaFine and Memento without any coloring problem.
Create the card base and resize all the layers of your card. You can paste them with Tear It! Tape or use crafty foam tape to add more dimension and interest to your card.

Hello there! In today’s crafting tutorial I want to show you how to make the traditional thumping technique but this time using ink pads and not markers! To make my card, I used the large size of Memento Inks but it can be made with the Memento Drops too or with any other type of ink. This is an easy and fun summer card for any occasion.
Skill Level: Beginner
Time to Complete: 30 Minutes
Select the stamp set that you prefer. To make most evident this technique you can use solid stamps. Additionally, pick the colors of ink that you wanted to use. I am using two, Memento Ink Bamboo Leaves and Tangelo.
Ink your stamp with the first color. In my case Memento Bamboo Leaves.
Without stamp the image over the cardstock, ink the stamp partially with the second colors. Keep in mind the parts that you want to look with different shadows.
Stamp the image over a piece of cardstock.
TIP: Clean the second ink pad with a dry towel to avoid contamination of the colors.
You can repeat the above step if you want to obtain darker colors. Stamp a sentiment using a contrast color to complete your card.
Resize the layer with, paste the sentiment and add the decorative layer over a card base. If you want, you can use your favorite crafty foam to add more dimension to your card.

I am always searching for new ways to use supplies and tools. Creative Medium comes in many colors, but the Iridescent Green creates stunning results on black paper. The use of an Embossing Folder helps the layers of the iridescent effect really shine. A few layered stamped images and I have a beautiful sympathy card to send to a dear friend.
Skill: Beginner
Time: 1 Hour plus dry time
Cover a section of black paper (with or without texture) with a thin layer of Creative Medium in Iridescent Green. I used Imagine’s Squeegee to spread the layer across the paper. The rubber edge was very helpful to get a thin even layer. Set aside to dry, possibly overnight. After it is dry it will still have a slightly rubbery texture.
Trim a section of the paper to 4” x 5 1/4” and pressure emboss with Sizzix Tropical Paisley Embossing Folder. You can really see the detail in this photo.
Layer stamp the Hero Arts Hibiscus and leaves images. Start with the lightest ink first. For the Hibiscus–Radiant Neon Electric Yellow, Memento Cantaloupe, Memento Tangelo, and VersaFine Habanero. The leaves are stamped in Memento Bamboo Leaves and Northern Pine. The images are die cut twice more from white and layered under matching die cuts with OnPoint glue.
The sentiment from Unity Stamp Company is stamped in Versa Fine Habanero then heat embossed with Iridescent Embossing powder. (Not shown) The image is die cut with Lawn Cuts Everyday Sentiments die. One end is trimmed off square. The banner is inked with an ink dauber and Radiant Neon Electric Yellow. The edges are inked with Memento Cantaloupe.
Ink the edges of a 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” card with Radiant Neon Electric Yellow ink with an ink dauber.
The layers are adhered together with Tear It! Tape. It adheres well with the textured layers of the card. The two Hibiscus flower are lifted a bit with dimensional foam adhesive.
