Keeping with my Berry, Blue and Silver theme I wanted to make wrapping paper and matching gift tags this year! The limited color palette is very aesthetically pleasing when grouped together under the tree.
Although red, green and gold colors are the most representative ones of Christmas, the last couple of years, I am quite fun of blue that combines so nicely with the silver and contrasts the white. Stars are favorite shapes of this season and using Delicata Sapphire Blue on lighter shades of blue, using MEMENTO bahama blue, give more depth on the card.

Glittery backgrounds are the best backgrounds! I love anything glittery and the Sparkle MBoss is quickly becoming one of my favorite new embossing powders. It is a clear embossing powder with holographic glitter mixed into it. It's perfect to add over any backgrounds because it doesn't add any color, just shine and sparkle! Watch the video tutorial!
I'm so excited to share this Disney-inspired Twist and Pop 3D Card with you. As you can see, there are 4 panels dedicated to The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Up and Cinderella.

For this card I used a few Memento Dual-tip Markers and the gorgeous Mboss Embossing powder by Imagine.

I have limited space for craft supplies and am always looking for ways to get multiple uses out of a single supply. One way to accomplish this, for example, is to keep a stash of white paper flowers in different sizes and color them to match your project.
I'm so excited to share the new Sheer Shimmer Stix with you! These handy, little guys come with dauber heads, so you can apply shimmer easily without the mess of a spray.

I wanted to create a dreamy ombre background so, I used a few Memento Inks and a jumbo dauber. I stamped using Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink and quickly colored with a few memento markers and a water-brush. See my video for more!
I have used one of my favorite Rose stamp for this card project. I love this stamp because of its realistic layering effect. To achieve this, I used the Memento, Stazon Pigment, Radiant Neon, and VersaMagic inkpads & I was very happy to see the final outcome and the way they all work together.
I love to create backgrounds for my cards and using fun techniques to add more interest. To make this fun love card today I used not only a really fun multi-color stamping technique but also, a SHINY INK PAD!! The Brilliance Pearlescent Coral ink pad was perfect for stamping this background and adding some shine for even more interest on this CAS card!
I love StazOn Pigment ink about as much as I love stamping! Finding ways to maximize the use of this mixed media ink would be a big win in my book! How to go about achieving this goal? A stamped collage, of course! Multiple stamps + multiple StazOn Pigment inks = Happy Stamper!
I LOVE anything and everything rainbow in cardmaking, and if it sparkles, that's even better! See how I do this!
Create an ombre background using a watercolor technique and Memento Ink. Watch the video!

The new Imagine Craft Mat is great for creating all kinds of backgrounds for cards. This one was created using Memento Dewdrop Inks and the grid side of the craft mat. Watch my video below to see how I did it. Enjoy!
I made a mixed media Valentine's card using the fantastic new dies from Imagine, Dewlets! These adorable dies can be used to create a multitude of wonderful designs.
I love a versatile tool and the Dewlet die is just that. The perfect little (but not too little) teardrop for petals, leaves, raindrops, balloons, and whatever else you think of. In this card, I’ve used the die as a stencil to draw out a pattern as well as a die to cut out shapes in that pattern. And that simple repeating pattern gets jazzed up with pen detailing, glitter, and a couple of shaker windows, too.
If you get the blues being away from friends and family, this is a sweet card to say how much you miss them. Change up the color scheme or sentiment, though, and it could easily be a baby or wedding shower card. Add some flowers and you’ve got an April Showers card. All from a simple repeating background and a few well-chosen embellishments.
For today’s card, I used the Sparkle Embossing Powder to create the beautiful snowflake on a bright red cardstock. This is a perfect project to be mass-produced for your Christmas cards.
Today, I show you how to create a simple overlay background with Rinea foil paper over a Fireworks Shimmer Spray background for a Christmas card. In addition, I teach you how to use a simple masking technique to double your stamping effect as well as Memento markers to create dimension. Enjoy!
Since Rinea foil papers are gorgeous on both sides, I wanted to make something with them that showed off that feature. Paper “sculptures” are good for this, and with the Thanksgiving holidays approaching, a cornucopia seemed the best way to go.
Blended faded backgrounds on cards are beautiful and in this video, I show you how I create a night sky using a stencil and VersaFine Clair inks. These inks are blendable and have such bright vibrant colors and are perfect for making your night sky pop!
Stamping over Delicata Inks with another ink like VersaFine Clair or Memento Inks creates such a cool shimmery effect.
Watch my video below to see exactly what I mean. Enjoy!
VersaFine Clair Ink and large sponge daubers make great patterned background papers for all of your projects! Check out this video to see how I used them to make a beautiful, distressed background for my Christmas card and matching envelope. The colors are so rich and vibrant and create the perfect matching set.
How about a little out-of-this-world fun? When trying to come up with a unique card I thought of the theme aliens, so created this sky scene with shades of grey and silver and drew up some simple saucers to decorate the skies.
Layering stencils are trending now and we can create beautiful designs and make techniques with the different patterns.
VersaMagic inks have a longer drying time so they are perfect to use with stencils where you can use multiple colors. I love to use stencils. Rather than clean the stencil, I like to lightly spritz the inked side of the stencil, flip it over, and place it on the second piece of cardstock creating a watercolored panel.
Writing a thank-you card is becoming a lost art. This year, show those who chose to gift you with their time, attention, or gifts a sweet and simple thank-you by penning a quick note inside an even quicker-to-make card.
Seasons Greetings! I am sharing this Kids Craft project that is totally up my alley because my children and I make crafts together all the time. So my daughter and I put on our thinking caps and came up with this sweet Christmas Lights card.
Can you ever have too many notebooks? This gives them all kinds of great potential on the outside, just like the blank pages are inside. For the Moleskine notebook, I’ve used Fabrico and All-Purpose inks to decorate it with some cute monkeys, designating this notebook for future cute and cheeky thoughts!
This month Imagine is celebrating terrific shades of teal and there are quite a few beautiful inks to bring to this party. I love teal and some of my favorite inks include a bit of shimmery goodness in them too.
Fireworks! spray provides an easy way to turn simple white papers into vibrant, colorful backgrounds for card projects. When working on one-layer projects, the stamped image needs to be protected with a mask to avoid the wet ink getting on the main image. For this technique, no special supplies are needed as the masks are created using cheap masking tape and baking paper or wax paper. This technique can be used for various projects; ATC’s, standard sized cards, scrapbook layouts, and art journal pages.
'Hope for a great year' is always a great sentiment in the month of January. Tenia Nelson from Jazzy Paper Designs creates this super fun card that can be sent to loved ones for encouragement and hope!
Remember scratch & sniff stickers? Nadine Carlier shows you how to create your own using embossing powder.
I had this picture of my two boys and me on my craft table since Mother’s Day. They both gave me handmade cards, which brought tears to my eyes because they know me so well ♥ I wanted to store those cards somewhere on the layout. Therefore I used a white paper bag at the bottom of all the layers.
My husband is our little girl’s everything; she has him wrapped around her little finger. I have watched her eyes light up from the time she was just a little baby to now almost turning eight whenever he walks into the room. This poem says it all!
So glad you could join us today at Imagine Crafts. Today I bring to you a mixed media journal page created by the poetry sentiment.
It is time to head into a brand New Year, and with this card we can celebrated 2016. Edit to the upcoming year for a fantastic way to bring in a fresh new energy. There are only two inks used for this card, VersaMark Watermark and Memento Tuxedo Black. Enjoy!
New Year's for me is when you start a new year of life, a new opportunity, a new calendar or simply when you want to celebrate something new. Today I created a special card for our New Year's Inspiration Challenge. It is a birthday card to celebrate a new year of life and on this card I am using fun techniques to create backgrounds, coloring stamped images and create textures over different materials. Come and enjoy with me!
I used several techniques and many fun products to create this sweet elephant card. Let me show you how.
When it comes to art- what brings you motivation for 2016? For me it is creating more art in the new year. This journal page has several three dimensional elements created out of paper and ink.

One of my favorite holiday traditions is the choosing of the Christmas tree! We could take the easy route and go to a lot and select a pre-cut tree but it so much more fun to traipse around acres of trees and find the “perfect” tree. Well, I think so anyway, don’t ask my husband.
Burrrr, who’s a better authority about the cold than polar bears? Nobody I know! Use Amplify in White on this holiday card!
I just love the Mother of Pearl look you achieve when using Iridescent Creative Medium, but wanting more choice of colors, I made my own. With the wide arrange of inker colors to choose from, you can make new colors until your heart is content.

The image on my card is one of a lady who should be in the no judgement zone since she has her own style and is proud of it! May we all promote peace, love and understanding every day so we can have these beneficial feelings at least in our small part of the world.
For International Day of Peace, I wanted to create something airy, with a positive mood subtending this sad situation. There is confusion but also hope everywhere.
International Day of Peace is a time to celebrate our global unity and the wonderful things that bring us together! This colorful sentiment is great for anyone who is far away but near in your heart.
When my kids were little, one of our favorite things to do was to gaze up at the sky and look for shapes in the clouds. Of course after rain storms we were looking for rainbows. This card combines both with Radiant Neon Amplify! Check it out!
Creating texture and dimension is so easy with the amazing Neon Amplify. The perfect amount of bulk to create loads of interest on cards and other projects - have you tried your hand at it yet? You will simply love it!
We all have art supplies that we feel we cannot create without. For most artists that list changes from time to time depending on the new releases that just keep getting better and better. A product at the top of my list right now is Iridescent Creative Medium paste. Here is one of a series of panels created using that product.
Memento inks are so versatile and I can use them for my favorite coloring technique – Watercolor! The colors stay true and are so easy to blend, they are my go to when I want to make a beautiful spring themed watercolor card.
For those of us in the U.S. the Labor Day weekend is a marker as the end of summer. If you are fortunate enough to be invited to a party of some sort you'll probably want to bring a small hostess gift. This little bag fits the bill!

Enjoy this vibrant iridescent sentiment - sure to brighten any cloudy day!
Sometimes you just want to let your friend how much they mean to you. Making them a special card will do just that…with a bit of sparkle, some shine and shimmer your love will shine…one inch at a time!
“No great achievement is accomplished without a bit of hard work.” So true so true and Labor Day is the perfect day to kick back and acknowledge those achievements!
"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and loved more than you know.” There are opportunities daily to show our support to other women who may be fighting battles that we are completely unaware of. Why not give that support with a card?
This is my Woman’s Equality Day project with a little wink. It shows the original 1971 Resolution Text in the background (thank you Wikipedia). Ladies, everyone of us has got the power to make the world a little bit better day by day. We delite ourself and others with our handmade gifts, cards and decorations. So let’s craft :)
Here’s a salute to all the women I know…and that goes for you! We don’t take credit for all the super things we do on a day to day basis…from stay-at-home mom’s taking care of homes, their family and all the extra errands that randomly pop up. Check out this super woman card!
This card is dedicated to the one of the greats. Julia Child brought the pleasure of French cuisine to American kitchens at a time when marshmellow flush was considered a delicacy. So here's to you Julia, Happy Birthday!
I have discovered you can watercolor with almost any medium. Today I am using irRESISTible Pico’s. This is such a fun image to color and with the Pico’s, you can give the gumballs a little something extra.
Friendship is a precious gift. I’ve got a couple of really good friends and am very thankful for finding them. Therefore it was on my heard to make a friendship celebrating project. The picture shows me with some of my girls from our private weekly MoMa-Crafting-Club.
The lazy days of summer are just about over, so I thought a shaker card with real sand from Clearwater Beach, Florida might be a fun card to send someone in the north, to remind them of their vacation memories.
We all love traveling, and I for one would never be home if traveling was free - as the saying goes! See how to make a travel journal project.
Journaling is definitely trending at the moment and there are no right and wrong way to do it - it is a very personal thing. I needed something to keep my travel memories in and found this fabulous journal on sale because the front cover was damaged - not a problem for me - as you can see by my Tutorial.
Summer usually signals a break in our normal routines, be it a long vacation stay or perhaps just a few interesting day trips here and there. Either way it is an opportunity for us to make some memories and preserve them in a handmade travel journal.
We don’t have a name for “Tacky Tourists” in Germany. But it’s a really good and funny description for these kind of travelers and I think, we should have a German word for them. For this card I created a new road sign. A couple of years ago, my BFF Dagmar and I visited the Gizeh Pyramides at Kairo, Agypt.
I really adore how this card came out, especially when I took it outside to photograph, the 3D elements cast wonderful shadows over the front of the stark white card stock giving it a completely different look to what I had imagined when I first thought of what to create.
It is that time of year when casual gatherings in the backyard are the rule! Don't know what to bring as a host/hostess gift? This is a quick gift that shows your opinion and appreciation of the Master Griller. Check it out!
Father's Day is celebrated around the world -not always at the same time, here in the Southern hemisphere we celebrate in September. I never miss an opportunity to create a card celebrating the dads. I always love texture on a masculine card and it is so easy to add as you will see from my tutorial.
A little iron, a little leather and one cool dude...a perfect start for any guy in your life.
Do you struggle to create cards for men? It doesn't have to be difficult at all - throw a couple of inks together with some embellishments and die-cuts and you have an instant winner. I am sharing this quick Father's day card with you using only a few inks to create interest, texture and pattern.
This little flower pot holds more than posies...pull up on the flowers and you've got a nifty little hiding spot for a gift card. I've included the template for the flower pot in the tutorial for easy assemblages. Happy crafting!
As soon as I heard the theme for this project was gift card holders, I immediately thought of a pocket card. Of course with my own little twist. It is the perfect way to be a little bit 'sneaky' with an unexpected gift...as you will see from my tutorial. Enjoy!
A special thank you to all who have served our great nation yesterday and today.
Mother's Day is one day of the year that is common to us all, we all have or have had a Mother, what better way to say 'I love you' than with flowers! The beautiful flowers featured on this card will not wilt or fade.
When I needed to make a birthday card for my daughter this cute image was a great starting point for inspiration. I really enjoyed the various ways to add depth, dimension and texture to my projects. Take a look!
Some days you just have to create your own sunshine. This sentiment is true not only for the turbulent weather of Spring time but also in creating art. One of the ways I like to create my own artsy sunshine is monoprinting. A fun and easy technique that yields a sky full of sunshine every time.
Gelli Printing is a firm favorite of mine because it offers the ability to just play and experiment - and with the wonderful inks and mediums available it is such a joy creating textures. A great alternative to the Gelli Plate is to use the Craft Mat to create faux Gelli prints for some quick cards.
"April Showers" in the Southern Hemisphere are slightly different than those in the Northern hemisphere - we are heading from summer to Autumn/Fall and April Showers are more than welcome but bring with them a reminder that we are heading to cooler tempertures and...rain! This is my inspiration for this card.
Make an April BABY Shower card! with Pico embellished umbrellas! Check it out!
In Germany we say "April, April, der macht was er will“ which means the weather in April is capricious. It could be rainy or sunny- almost like summer time here. “April showers bring May flowers” is the American adage. And this card suits to both countries! This card is very simple to make and has a surprising illusion effect.
Since Easter is fast approaching, I got inspired by the colored eggs I plan to decorate with my daughter. And this time of the year I really enjoy watching the eggs hatching and then small chicks coming out of them.
My favorite season of the year is Spring, watching the world come alive. I wanted to create a freehand card that is simple to replicate that didn't involve any stamping or stencils, just my interpretation of the trees and flowers around me.
Who doesn't love Peeps - these sweet treats are popping up everywhere this time of year. I knew when I saw these little bunny stamps for the first time they would look spectacular covered with a layer of bright, colorful Radiant Neon Amplify!
I absolutely love St. Patrick's day – my grandfather had a bit 'o Irish blood in him so in a way I can honor him and have a wee bit of fun too! And what is more classic on St. Patty's day than celebrating with a wee bit 'o green and gold, like IMAGINE Crafts' Metallic Gold Creative Medium on this card.
I love using dies as guides for creating all sorts of fun elements in a card. Today I used a heart die from X-Cut to use as a template for creating this fun flower wreath.
Inspiration is never too far away when you walk in the garden - we have beautiful roses in our garden and I love to look at them. It is not always possible to send fresh roses, but I can send a card that has been inspired by their beauty.
Create a slightly dimensional watercolor effect using StazOn Studio Glaze with Ink Potion No. 9 and Memento inks to create a glaze-like finish.

By using different colors of the Amplify! you will be able to create a garden full of flowers. Most are self explanatory and easy to follow. Check it out!
This was a class that IMAGINE Crafts taught at the Winter 2015 CHA Show featuring our newest releases.
The texture from the new Amplify is so fluffy! It reminds me of a sheep's wool, so here's a fun and card that I created in celebration of Chinese New Year, the Year of the Sheep.
For a few weeks now I’ve had fun playing with Walnut Inks. The idea of combining the stamp and the Walnut Ink was born and had to be realized immediately. Create this night sky art project!
Dragonflies have the most beautiful wings - I love the metallic shimmer when the sunlight touches them...the beauty of nature is incredible and just captured my imagination - as you will see with this tutorial.
Tall layout is a nice change in cardmaking. I hope you enjoy my quick Valentine's project today.
This project is based on transforming a simple, basic wall clock into a mini work of art.
Last year I made a card I really loved for my husband, and I thought since Valentine’s Day was fast approaching I’d re-create it this year! I used a gray and yellow color scheme for the original version as it wasn’t an actual valentine.
I love a fantastic background paired with a great sentiment. Sometimes that's all you really need to create a great card - not a lot of layers or patterned paper. You can make your inks work for you in so many different ways, so why not show them off?
