 Let’s Make a Bright Floral Summer Card 

Posted on by

By Anna Escalada York

Summer in the Pacific Northwest is filled with beautiful flowers and the bluest sky. I know I appreciate them so much more since most of the year is so soggy. To celebrate the season, I made a colorful card filled with flowers.

Skill: Intermediate 
Time: 2 hours 

Directions: 

Step 1: 
Stamp the large floral image onto watercolor paper with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. 

Then die cut the flower with the corresponding die. Also die cut a piece of vellum with the same die cut. 

Step 2: 
Watercolor the floral image. The larger two flowers were watercolored with Angel Pink Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray, the center of the largest flower with Dandelion Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray, and the leaves with Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray. The smallest flower was watercolored with a mix of Rose Bud Memento Dual Marker mixed with more Angel Pink Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray. After everything dried, the smallest flower’s color was made darker by adding a second layer of the combination of Rose Bud Memento Dual Marker mixed with Angel Pink Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray. 

To cover up a few small blemishes, lightly splatter Cottage Ivy Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray over the flowers. Set aside to dry. 

Step 3: 
Spray Lilac Posies Fireworks! Shimmery Craft Spray through a stencil on a watercolor panel. 

After the spray dried, die cut the panel with a mid-sized die from an A2-sized nesting die set. While at the die cutting machine, die cut a piece of glossy white cardstock with the next largest die from the A2-sized nesting die set. 

Step 4: 
Ink blend Lilac Posies Memento Ink through selected parts of a second stencil. Then mix Gold irRESISTible Pico Embellisher with a little water to dilute it and use a small paintbrush to paint other parts of the stencil with the Gold irRESISTible onto the panel. Allow to dry. 

Then press the Lilac Posies Memento Ink pad along the edge of the panel to add color to the edges of the panel. 

Step 5: 
Press the Lilac Posies Memento Ink pad onto a small scrap of watercolor paper and allow to dry. Then die cut the colored scrap of watercolor paper with the sentiment die. 

Also die cut a piece of vellum with the shadow layer of the sentiment as well as a couple of scraps of cardstock with the sentiment die. 

Assemble the sentiment by gluing the three die cuts together. Then glue them onto the shadow layer of vellum and set the whole thing aside. 

Step 6: 
Assemble the card. Glue the vellum floral die cut onto the stenciled panel. Use foam tape to adhere the stamped floral image at an angle, allowing the vellum layer to peek out from underneath for extra dimension. Glue the sentiment on the lower left corner of the panel. Add purple and hot pink sequins around the floral image with more glue. Then attach the panel to the glossy cardstock matte layer. To finish the card, glue the whole card panel onto an A2-sized white cardbase.

Create a Summer Vibes Card with VersaFine Clair

Posted on by

By Ceal Pritchett –

Hello friends, it’s Ceal here. Today I am sharing a summer card with you.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 45 minutes

Directions:
Gather your supplies. You will need a summer themed die set, layering stencils, three different shades of blue ink, a grip mat, a stamp positioning tool and a summer sentiment set.

Step 1:
Using a blending tool and the first layering stencil, ink blend blue ink over the stencil. I used VersaFine Clair Paradise.

Step 2:
Using a blending tool and the second layering stencil, ink blend a different shade of blue over the stencil. I used VersaFine Clair Warm Breeze.

Step 3:
Using a blending toll and the third layering stencil, ink blend the third color of blue over the stencil. I used VersaFine Clair Bali Blue.

Step 4:
Using the “water” die and the finished panel of water, cut out the water for the pool.

Step 5:
Using the “pool” die cut out the pool. Cut several but only use the pool outline.

Step 6:
Stack the pool outline around the water, where the water will be lower than the sides to make it more realistic

Step 7:
Cut out all the die cut pieces to place in the pool. For the girl I colored her with a Copic marker. The others are cut out of colored cardstock.

Step 8:
Stamp and cut out the sentiment.

Step 9:
Place all the elements in the pool and the sentiment on the side.

Make a Card for Dad

Posted on by

By Helen Gullett

~Hello crafty friends! Today, we are going to make a masculine card style card for dads with a faux wood background and some layers. So, let’s get crafting!

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 15-20 Minutes

Directions:

Step 1

Stamp the Typewriter Keys Caps alpha stamp set on a piece of white cardstock with the VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink pad.

Since I used the whole stamp set, I did not remove them from its acetate backing and added to the stamping lid and taped it.

Step 2

On another piece of white cardstock, stamp the typewriter image with the VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink pad.

Step 3

Stamp the paper image with the VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink pad on a piece of white cardstock.

Step 4

Stamp the word “love” in the middle of the stamped paper image with VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink pad.

Step 5

Cut a piece of ivory cardstock into 4.25 inch x 5.5 inch.

Score the cardstock at ½ inch until the whole cardstock scored.

Step 6

This is the fun part… ink swiping to create the faux wood background.

Lightly swipe the ink over the scored cardstock, start with VersaFine Clair Sand Dune ink pad, and then use the VersaFine Clair Fallen leaves, and the VersaFine Clair Bali Blue ink pad.

Use a craft heat gun to dry the inks in between swiping to avoid the ink transfer to the different color ink pad.

Step 7

Use a tag die to cut the stamped alpa cardstock.

Add it to the faux background mat with On Point Glue.

Step 8

Fussy cut the stamped typewriter image and the stamped paper image with micro-tip scissors.

Add the paper to the typewriter with On Point Glue. And then add a little piece of white fun foam behind the paper using On Point Glue for a bit of dimension.

Add the whole image to the background mat with On Point Glue.

Step 9

On a piece of ivory cardstock, stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Clair Pinecone ink pad. Trim it into a banner flag, and then add some of the VersaFine Clair Sand Dune ink around it with a sponge dauber.

And then add a piece of fun foam behind the sentiment and the sentiment banner to the background mat with On Point Glue.

Step 10

Add the whole finish background mat to the card with On Point Glue. Press firmly for a few seconds to make sure the glue dries well.

Add the ribbon bow to the top of the tag with On Point Glue. Hold it for a few seconds for the glue to dry well in place.

The simple scoring and ink swiping techniques are a fun technique to try to add texture to the faux wood background.

I hope you like this masculine card idea and give it a try to make a card for a special  dad figure in your life.

Thanks so much for stopping by our blog today. Have a wonderful day!
