Here is a quick review of our ink brands and the best inks for the thinner pages of journals and planners. If you are a planner addict or simply would like to craft some fun “goals” pages for the New Year then check out what we have to say about the best planner inks for 2020!
I love using VersaColor with large sponge daubers to get the perfect blend every time! You can make multiples of this card for any holiday in no time and everyone will think you spent hours on them.
A monochromatic color scheme can produce a lovely outcome; especially when framed with White MBoss Embossing powder.

This mixed media paper doll panel was so fun to make. I used Rinea foil, Creative Medium, foam tape and Tsukineko inks in this crafting project. Rinea foiled paper works beautifully with 3D embossing folders and makes a great foundation for the girls stamped in VersaFine Clair inks. Enjoy!
Rinea foil is a fun product to work with, but because it is a nonporous surface it can be a bit tricky to stencil on. I am sharing three different ways to add stenciling to your foiled projects in my video tutorial today! They're all different and have different results, so everyone can find something that works for them!
I have a special project to share with you: stained glass piece using acetate and aluminum foil. I've been wanting to try this technique and I know that now is the perfect time to do this with the new StazOn Pigment inkpads! Check it out!
I love the brillance shimmer that Brilliance Ink adds! I created this entire card using different colors of Brilliance Ink.
Watch my video tutorial below to see how I did it. Enjoy!
Fireworks! Is there a better product to use during the month of July? These shimmery craft ink sprays are gorgeous, full of pigment, shine and sparkle and make some gorgeous backgrounds that require little to no effort!
Here is another upcycled project from me! I really love giving old, tired objects new life. I can always count on my All-Purpose Ink to help freshen things up!
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. I've used 14 VersaFine Clair ink pads to ink blend all of the backgrounds. With sets of Mama Elephant stamps, I stamped with Memento ink in Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. Enjoy!
To create this cool Rebel Canvas I used the new MBoss Hologram embossing powder with a fun, classic technique to create a stamped impression in the embossing powder. The new Hologram embossing powder is soooo gorgeous and fun to use. I love that the new MBoss packaging allows for precision application and easy cleanup!
Mboss embossing powder is sold in a resealable bag and it is so easy to use and clean up after. The gusseted bottom allows it to stand independently on your surface and won't tip over easily. The fact that you can pinch the bag while you are pouring the powder onto your project allows for greater accuracy too. I used the Hologram MBoss powder on this star card and it really makes the focal point pop!
For this card I used a few Memento Dual-tip Markers and the gorgeous Mboss Embossing powder by Imagine.
This cardmaking project is all about using layers of ink to create a collage background with stamps and stencils. It’s a great way to build a cool background in order to feature that perfect focal image, like a Vertigo, die cut dragonfly.
Did you know that you can use StazOn Pigment Ink as a resist with other inks like VersaFine Clair? Find out how by watching my video below.
For this card I used the fabulous StazOn Pigment ink in Snowflake! This ink is AMAZING! It stamps crisp and dries fast on multiple surfaces. I make a fun everyday coffee card by stamping and coloring on vellum, and show you how to create a simple and fun card using StazOn Pigment Snowflake.
Today's card has surprises - a completely clear front! Using the new StazOn Pigment ink and acetate, I was able to create my own patterned acetate using Waffle Flower stamps to make the front of the card really unique!
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!
For this card I heat embossed a few flower images with white embossing powder on vellum. I used my sharp pair of scissors to fussy cut them.
I stamped a beautiful pattern in VersaMagic and placed the DewDrop shapes on the background of the card.
In today's video, I create a fun and colorful card using Imagine's Fireworks Sprays and the new Dewlets. I love the adorable Dew Drop ink pads from Imagine and was inspired to create a fun rainbow raindrop theme card that reads You Color My World!
Ink is not just for paper. You can use it on fabric, metal and more specifically Polyform clay. You can use inks to transform polymer clay projects into a wide variety of pieces. Use ink to simply color your clays projects, use with stamps to add designs, or blend it into the clay to create a new color clay.
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.
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!
Neva shows you how to use StazOn inks to color votive glass.
'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!
When I had these neon colors in my hands I couldn't resist the idea to create something fun and happy. In today's project I used the Amplifly over stencil to create design and texture, and Kaleidacolor ink to make a smooched water coloring for my background.
This bookmark uses a technique popular in altered books and a favorite of artists like Austin Kleon: found poetry. In found poetry you pick out the words you want and cover everything else, leaving only your message behind. Check it out!
For the past four years I’ve been picking a single word that is my guide for the next 12 months. I like to put this word some place I’m going to see it a lot, so my planner is the perfect place to showcase it. The paper planner community has been growing by leaps and bounds, lately, and custom dashboards are a great way to personalize a planner.
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!
With the New Year just around the corner we are ringing it in with some glitz and glamour with a fun resolutions file folder. I used Delicata ink to dress up this file folder for a fuin and festive look. This year I will pen down my hopes and dreams and blessings, so that I can reflect on them at the end of 2016 and feel really really blessed!
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.

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.
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.
"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 :)
I love this sentiment paired with boot steps and a doily stencil. Tough and soft at the same time. Who in your life could use a card like this? Your mom, sister, friend, coworker? I will be sending this one to a friend that just got a promotion at work…she will love it!
Fun embossing, cute washi tape and for those in my generation, a super fun Viewmaster!

Combining Stars and Stripes is always fun. I haven'tt used my awesome Radiant Neon inks for a little while now, so that inspired me to create a rainbow of stars:)
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.

A few days after we were asked to do an upcycling project I got hold of an old and ugly plastic picture frame. This technique using Creative Medium and Embossing Powder is very easy to do and gives a true metallic retro effect.
New trends in papercrafting and mixed media are using a Gelli Plate. I have found that the Craft Mat by Imagine Crafts works like a charm without the added expense. Let me show you how easy it is to incorporate this technique into your next card project.
Working with the Gelli Plate is one of the hottest trends right now, and I have to admit that I don't own one. I've really wanted to experiment with the monoprinting technique, and I soon discovered the the IMAGINE Crafts Craft Mat is perfect for achieving the same results!
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.
There is a wide range of symbolism associated with poppies...everything from loyalty, beauty, magic, consolation, fertility and even eternal life.

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?
When asked to make a card that involves the Super Bowl, I was so excited because even though I am not a football fan, I at least knew that Seattle had a chance and they wear my favorite colors...Lime & Navy. I had an idea of where I was going with this card, but after it was finished I am thinking....why didn't I make it into a shaker card?!? So today you get two cards.
