Hello everyone, today I am sharing a summer wedding card that was inspired by a bridal bouquet from my friend’s wedding. I am using a technique that showcases how vibrant our VersaFine Clair inks are.
Skill: Intermediate to Advanced Time: 1 to 1 ½ hours
Directions:
For this card, you will need a 3D embossing folder, several ink colors and sponge daubers or another tool to apply the ink.
Step 1:
Run the 3D embossing folder of your choice through the machine. Tip if you lightly spray it with water this helps get a better impression.
Step 2:
Using a sponge dauber or other inking tool and add color to the debossed side of the panel. It’s okay if you get ink outside of the debossed area because the next step will cover it.
Step 3: Using the VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad, rub it across the panel. The black will stay on top and will not go into the debossed areas and create a beautiful background. The versaFine Clair ink pads work well with this technique because they are so vibrant.
Step 4: Stamp your sentiment using the Mini Misti and cut it out with the coordinating die.
Step 5: Add your panel to a white card base and add the elements to finish he card.

In today’s post, I am sharing a wedding card. I don’t have any wedding specific craft supplies, so I used some general craft supplies.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1 hour
Directions:
Step 1: Spray a panel of watercolor paper with Angel Pink Fireworks! Spray. After it dried, splatter some Grape Jelly Fireworks! Spray on the panel, and the spray more Angel Pink Fireworks! Spray to help diffuse the purple color. Then set the whole thing aside to dry. After the panel dried, die cut the panel.
Step 2: Press Charming Pink VersaFine Clair ink onto a second panel of watercolor paper. Then die cut the panel with the same die. For this layer, get rid of negative parts of the die cut. Then press the die into a Frost VersaMark Dazzle stamp pad.
Optional step: heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
Step 3: Glue the two die cuts together, so that the dark pink layer overlaps the corresponding light pink layer.
Step 4: Press Celestial Copper Delicata ink onto a scrap of watercolor paper. Optional step: Heat emboss with clear embossing powder.
Step 5: Die cut the copper-colored watercolor scrap with the congrats sentiment die. If desired, press the sentiment into the Celestial Copper Delicata ink pad a second time for a more saturated color.
Optional step: Heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Optional step: Die cut 2 additional pieces of scrap cardstock with the same die and glue them behind the copper layer to add dimension to the sentiment.
Step 6: Glue the sentiment die on the lower third of the pink die cut panels. Then glue the panel onto an A2-sized white card base. (You can’t see the card base because the pink layer is the exact same size as the card base.)
Step 7: Splatter additional Grape Jelly Fireworks! Spray onto the panel. Glue pink and purple sequins onto the panel on the left of the sentiment die and on the upper right part of the card.
Hello! My latest video for Imagine is a wedding-themed card, though it can certainly be used for other occasions too. We’re going to use embossing powder in a few ways on this card, and they’re all fairly simple to do.

When it comes to coloring with alcohol markers, the ink you use to stamp your images becomes very important. Choosing the right ink will ensure that the image lines stay sharp without bleeding into each other. My personal choice is the Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad. A light beige color like Desert Sand could be a great choice as well for no-line coloring.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1 hour
Step 1: Stamp some floral and leaves images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I love the Happiness Abounds set from Stampin’ Up; the roses are so elegant and the perfect sizes to create a floral wreath. Then color the images with your choice of alcohol markers. I used Stampin Blends in Pale Papaya, Soft Seafoam, and Old Olive.
Step 2: Die cut the colored images with Blossoming Happiness dies and arrange them in a circle. Then adhere them to the card base. I used Tear-It Tape to adhere the leaves in the background, and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to create layers and depth for the flowers.
Step 3: For the sentiment, I chose a simple circle to tie in this elegant design. The fonts for these stamps are just so pretty! I always grab VersaFine Clair Nocturne to stamp my sentiments; the lines are so crisp and dark, and they’ll never look splotchy! Don’t use them with alcohol markers though, the pigment ink will react with alcohol inks.
Coloring takes time, but it’s such a relaxing experience… I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I do.
Greetings! It’s Kathi here to show you how to create a wedding card using trending wedding colors of dusky rose, pink, rose gold, and gold.
Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Time: 1.5 hours
Directions:
Step 1:
Use Tuxedo Black Memento ink to stamp the wedding cake from the Dreams Come True Cling Stamp Set onto a 4” x 5.25” panel of white cardstock and onto repositionable label paper.
Step 2:
Use small scissors to fussy-cut the label paper version and place it atop its counterpart on the image panel as a mask.
Step 3:
Place a ruler horizontally over the base of the image.
With an ink sweeper, sponge Pixie Dust VersaMagic ink over the ruler and the masked image.
Step 4:
Use a pouncy tool or a stiff paint brush to pounce Rose Gold Delicata Ink.
Step 5:
Move the ruler to cover the top of the image and secure with magnets.
Use an ink sweeper to sponge Pink Petunia VersaMagic ink.
Remove the ruler and let it dry. I heat set to expedite the drying process.
Step 6:
Use a piece of scrap paper to cover the top part of the image panel. Place the Mandala stencil over the base and secure with magnets.
Sponge image with Pink Petunia VersaMagic to create a tone on tone pattern.
Repeat process with Sponge Rose Gold Delicata Ink to add a rosy golden shimmer to the stenciled pattern.
Step 7:
Use Copic markers to color the wedding cake. Add shading and fine details with colored pencils. Use chalk pencil to add shading below the wedding cake.
Step 8:
Position one of the plain rectangle dies from the Passe Partout Rectangles Die Set cutting side down on the image panel. Use repositionable Scotch Tape to secure it in place, then die cut the panel.
Step 9:
Cut a piece of white cardstock to 6.5”. Position the scalloped rectangle and the plain rectangle dies from the Passe-Partout Die Set on the panel, secure with repositionable Scotch Tape, and run the panel through the die-cut machine.
Step 10:
Use a sponge dauber to sponge Gold Dazzle Delicata Ink around the edges of the scalloped panel. Heat set.
Step 11:
Use a sponge dauber to sponge Rose Gold Delicata Ink around the edges of the plain panel. Heat set.
Step 12:
Position the stitched rectangle die from the Passe Partout Die Set onto the gold-sponged scalloped rectangle panel, secure it in place with repositionable Scotch Tape, and run the panel through the die-cut machine. The die will cut a rectangle from the center of the gold-sponged scalloped panel, leaving a stitched border framing the aperture.
Step 13:
Use a sponge dauber to add Rose Gold Delicata to the periphery of the die-cut. Heat set.
Step 14:
Use Tear It! Tape to adhere the gold scalloped die-cut onto the rose gold plain rectangle panel.
Use the tape to adhere rose gold die-cut to the aperture of the gold scalloped die-cut then adhere the matted image panel as the top layer.
Step 15:
Cut a piece of white cardstock to 8.75” x 6.125”. Score at 4.375” and fold to form an A6 card.
Place a piece of scrap paper into the center of the card. Use a sponge dauber to apply Pixie Dust VersaMagic ink to the periphery of the white card. Heat set.
Adhere the matted image panel to the front of the card.
