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.

On Point Glue and Tear It! Tape worked wonders on my die-cut wedding frame construction. Imagine's adhesives are very strong, durable, and easy to work with! Also, I really love using the new Sheer Shimmer Stix in Sparkle to enhance this project and I thought it would be perfect for this wedding frame keepsake that could be used to have your guests sign instead of a guest book.
For this card I have created a peacock inspired color blended background. I have used Versafine Clair Inks and Jumbo daubers which make blending super easy and seamless. Once the background was ready I used a beautiful lacy rubber stamp and StazOn Pigment Ink in white to stamp the image.
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 am sharing with you a fun bubble gum theme birthday card using StazOn Pigment ink and the new Sheer Shimmer Stix. Check it out!

I am forever on the lookout for inspiring and uplifting quotes. I knew that my Imagine mixed media products would work wonders to make this piece come alive! When i'm working with resin pieces, I always reach for my Fireworks sprays and All-Purpose Ink.
We all need a little inspiration sometimes and, for this project, I took my inspiration from the Impressionism style of paintings from the 1860s. It resulted in a fun project using the All-Purpose inks and other Imagine products to create a miniature floral scene on a 4”x4” flat panel canvas.
Create an ombre background using a watercolor technique and Memento Ink. Watch the video!
I am a clean and simple cardmaker who likes to focus on techniques, so the GooseBumps spray is PERFECT for my style of cardmaking! Using the spray and Versafine Clair inks together is a fast and easy way to create a fun and vibrant background for the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday! (Plus I added a little sparkle, because who can resist that??)
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.
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!
This project is all about making something out of nothing. At least, nothing as in a piece of corrugated cardboard from a discarded box and lined paper from an old notebook.
Not only are the Dewlet dies great to use with DewDrop inkpads they also make perfect hearts. Watch the video to see how I created the hearts with the Dewlet dies and how I used Delicata and VersaFine Clair for the stamped images. Enjoy!
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.
For today’s Wedding Day card, I used the Rinea Foil Papers which can be embossed, die cut and shaped. I used a floral die set to cut the flower petals and with the help of a metal brad fixed them together.
Artist Trading Coins are very popular right now and so fun! I love having different shapes to work with to create fun projects. Use Fireworks Shimmery Craft Spray and Creative Medium to apply great colors and textures to your background.
I stamped a beautiful flower bunch from Simon Says Stamp with Brilliance Ink on a watercolor paper. I added some water on a small scoop of Walnut Crystals and painted the entire bunch with it. This is a monotonic theme card and I have used only one pigment to create all the highlights and shadows. I stamped a simple sentiment with Pinecone Versafine Clair ink and the painted panel is ready.
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.
I used kraft banner pendants with doilies and gorgeous flowers to create a beautiful wedding banner. My favorite part is the delicate rosebuds created with Creative Medium in Iridescent Purple. Against the kraft paper, it pops just enough to create a wonderful background.
The wedding season is approaching quickly and today I wanted to show you that anyone can create an elegant wedding ensemble without breaking the bank. This entire set was made using plain white cardstock that was elevated to something special with help from products by Imagine.
In this video, I’ll show you how to make four types of flowers out of coffee filters that I’ve dyed with Fireworks Craft Spray and Walnut Ink, making them completely customizable to your wedding, shower, or party theme, as well as how to turn them into boutonnieres and small bouquets.
Planning to make wedding table decorations? By creating several easy-to-make matching pieces, the cost of the basic crafting supplies is still quite low per setting. Using the kraft cardstock as the background, you have the option to play with more color choices on the embossing powder or the dyed flowers with the Fireworks! Simmery Craft Sprays.
All the Delicata colors are truly stunning but I have to admit, I think the rose gold is my favorite. I love the gold shimmer it has mixed with the soft rose color. I also added Imagine's gold embossing powder as accents to my card to really make it pop!
Embossing is the easy way to create texture in papercrafts. But, did you know you can layer different embossing powders on the same paper? Double embossing is simple, fun and you only need to understand embossing basics to achieve this cool effect.
Create some fun textures with Kaleidacolor inkpads. Play with some Creative Medium for some fun textured effects. Learn more...
I love large background stamps! Especially the ones using beautiful, romantic scripts. There is nothing easier to create your own custom backgrounds with these stamps, some embossing powder and pigment ink.
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.
I suffer from a nearly lifelong love of poetry. Okay, the suffering? Not so much. The thing I love about poetry is that a single, simple wellturned phrase can take me someplace far away. Such is the case with much of the poetry by Robert Frost, but especially with his poem, “Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening”.
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!
I love the scent of gingerbread baking on a cold, frosty day, so I wanted to evoke that feeling in an art piece. I also think that red and green are kind of overdone during the holidays so in keeping with the gingerbread idea, I decided to stick with that color scheme too.
Hello Imagine Crafts friends. Tags are all the rage this time of year, so I wanted to show you how you too can make a tag with just a few supplies. Super easy to make and it will look G O R G E O U S on your gifts this year.
Or maybe you are not a tag person…turn it into an ornament instead! :)
Who doesn’t love to get a piece of Mail Art by snail mail? Not only do the postal workers have fun looking at it but you have a bona fide work of art to send to an artsy friend. Just make sure there aren’t any bits and bobs that can become detached along the way. What a fun way to send your love!
Create interesting backgrounds using resist effects with StazOn Studio Glaze. It’s quick and easy and the effect is amazing. For this Vintage Christmas card I used a blue and brown combination with white resist giving this card a lovely old world feel.
Bringing Ombre into this century can't be any easier - simply grab your Kaleidacolor ink pads. I remember getting my very first Kaleidacolor ink pad some 15 years ago - yes you heard me that long ago - its the same one used here today and I am as much in love today as then, but realized that I don't use them often enough though. I love the rainbow colors and the possibilities these ink pads offer. Lets explore...
This vibrant watercolor inspired kaleidacolor card is a perfect pick-me-up for the Fall days!
I have always thought of StazOn as a stamping ink, you know for the usual on glossy things like metal, glass and plastic. Let’s explore how I created some gorgeous backgrounds on glossy envelopes as part of my technique portfolio.
For a fun twist on fall I created this textured card using different glaze type mediums to create some interesting effects for my card. Come and see how you can use these transparent products to create loads of interest.
Gini Williams Cagle is here to show you this trendy striated background using All-Purpose Ink and a baby wipe.
Fall is my favorite time of the year and I love making home decor items to display around the house. It seems like I have tissues in every room for the little noses that come to visit Nana. Though manufacturers are making the tissue boxes prettier these days, they still need my artistic touch.
Pocket Letters are a fun new way to send greetings to friends wide and far. Baseball card album sleeves filled with art one one side and goodies on the other. With Autumn here, it's the perfect time to create a mixed media Pocket Letter for your friends.
I knew I wanted to make an apron the minute I received these fun retro kitchen stamps…stamping on fabric? Yes you can, with the help of Memento Luxe Ink Pads and Fabrico Markers it’s a snap. I was able to stamp, highlight and even dye the ruffled trim with ease. You can stamp and sew an apron from scratch as I have done or simply purchase a pre-sewn, plain apron to embellish.
As fall begins and In the dead of winter my thoughts often drift to spring time. What better place to be in the spring than Paris? For this card I used the new StazOn Studio Glaze product to mimic the beautiful sky colors seen only in the city of light.
Is there a fabulous lady in your life who qualifies as a Diva? I have one in mind for this gift journal as her long-awaited graduation gift is a trip to Paris where I’m sure she’ll be writing notes, saving ephemera and doing a little sketching in famous museums. If you have an artistic Diva in your circle of friends this is a one of a kind handmade gift she can treasure.
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.
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!
When creating a mixed-media project it is fun and interesting to have lots of texture. This panel can be used as a piece of home decor or you can make a card using the technique, whatever direction your muse leads you in.
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!
Some of the most useful tools in my stash is my is my set of Palette knives. Yes I know a weird choice for some, but not to me. Today I am going to show you how to use your Palette Knives in some new and different ways making a card. I hope you feel inspired to look at your tools in a different way from now on.
Dabbling in my art journal again but this time with a simple and elegant not-so-Halloweeny page. We are not big into Halloween here but since I had this cute little spider (not that they are ever cute) I thought I would play around with a classy scary page.
Enjoy this vibrant iridescent sentiment - sure to brighten any cloudy day!
“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 :)
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.
Sometimes creating a flat card is just not good enough, sometimes something different is refreshing. For today I created an accordion fold card inside a little box. Not only can it be used for the card, you can add a small gift inside for the recipient too.
My decorating style includes using fun vintage children’s blocks to spell out various words that might celebrate a holiday or add whimsy to a shelf.
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.
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.
Enjoy the journey as much as the destination and record every memory made along the way in this fun, easy collage style travel journal.
Cathy Andronicou shows you how to keep your travel memories on you at all times with this Parisian Key Fob.
Show your thanks with this shimmering bold sentiment from Artist in Residence Carisa Zglobicki.
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.
There is something undeniably beautiful about a wedding - friends and family come together to support and celebrate those exchanging vows and becoming one. Make a keepsake for your next wedding event.
Vintage weddings are kind of romantic and elegant with a touch of past times. It can be defined very individually but the romantic touch is always presented. This really romantic sparkling flower clip can be used in several ways: the bride’s hair, the groom’s buttonhole or, in a bigger dimension, as wedding bouquet, or for any decoration.
My sweetheart and I were married way back in 1986, right out of high school. At that time I knew nothing of the fun stuff the paper arts world had in store for me. See how I made this puzzle piece card to celebrate our union.
StazOn Studio Glaze is a perfect way to add bright vibrant colors when spread on your project but it can also provide amazing depth and texture which is why I used it both ways on my wedding make-over place cards. Since my colors are blue and gold I decided to use blue for our female guests and gold for the male guests.
When my husband and I originally got married they didn't even have "Save the Date" announcements so I thought it would be fun to create one. I wanted to include the puzzle theme - "two become one" as well as the polka dots and this is what I came up with.
It's always fun to gift a little surprise to each of your guests at your weding...these little favor boxes are a beautiful addition to present them in.
These candle sticks are a great way to carry your theme and colors into your reception. Decorate a set for each table and give them away as gifts to your guests.
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!
Some times it is just so much simpler to give that picky Teenager a gift card than buy a gift. I never know what to buy my nieces mainly because they have everything twice over already! I decided to create a slider card and figured that I could hide a gift card within the mechanism.
Leave it to Artist In Residence Savannah O'Gwynn to discover how to create a CAS (Clean And Simple) card with a big impact! Savannah shows how to use Metallic Creative Medium to create simple and easy cards that are sure to get noticed!
White is such an amazing blank canvas - from cardstock to canvas to fabric. White enables you to create and alter whatever you can dream up. For those special afternoon tea time treats on the patio I altered some white linen serviettes to make them a bit more special.
Cathy Andronicou shows how to create this fabulous photo frame that's accented with IMAGINE Crafts' Iridescent Creative Medium. Because the frame has a base coat of chalkboard paint, the sentiment can be changed when you switch out the photo – genius!
My mom loves birds and so for this Mother's day I wanted to make a card that incorporates a little birdie. Thankfully I have some really cute stamps and with the help of the amazing StazOn Studio Glaze I could add some really amazing color to my image. For my sentiment I used two stamps and stamped them in different colors for a fun look.
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.
Do you want to sample the technique done with a Gelli Plate but don't have the room or the budget for one more piece of equipment? Why not try this "faux" Gelli Plate technique done with your Imagine Crafts Craft Mat? Simple, fun and amazing results are in store for you.
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.
This little table was my mothers, so of course it means the world to me. However, it was beyond ugly (sorry mom). It needed a little something, something. I am beyond thrilled with how it turned out using a few inks, stencil and a Sponge Dauber.
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!
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.

With Easter around the corner I was inspired to dig out my favorite stamps and make a card. It's playful and elegant! I teamed the bunny with this cute little jellybean stamp transformed by Memento inks and irRESISTibles.
There is a wide range of symbolism associated with poppies...everything from loyalty, beauty, magic, consolation, fertility and even eternal life. They are in my opinion one of spring's most beautiful flowers with their ruffled, delicate petals and striking colors. While they are only around for a short period of time you can capture their beauty in this easy to paint canvas to enjoy all year long.
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.

I love dandelion's and cant wait for them all to start springing up so I can pick them and make a wish! When I saw the fabulous Clearly Besotted stamp set Dandelion Dreams a plan quickly formed. Traditionally it should be white but hey, artistic license and my favourite Memento Luxe pad Rose Bud was calling my name.

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.
Valentine's Day is right around the corner and I thought it would be fun to make a Steampunk card for my sweetie this year. The new Celestial Copper and Bronze Burst Delicata inks are perfect for making the gears stand out and shine on this card, the perfect addition to adding a bit of a masculine touch to a Valentine's greeting.
So many reds, so little time! The Memento color line features inkpads with complimentary Fireworks craft sprays that are fun to combine because they blend so wonderfully. Valentine themed cards are the perfect way to try them all out!

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.
I couldn’t believe what I saw when I first played with the new Radiant Neon Amplify! What a fun! Since Valentine's Day is approaching, I began thinking of moments in love and pictures of my honeymoon came to mind. Check it out!
I am really loving the Bokeh effect trend that is appearing all around the web lately, I worked out with a few test pieces that you could re-create it relatively easily with the amazing Memento Luxe in Wedding Dress and a piece of cardstock with varying sized circles cut into it.
I love the rustic look achieved roughly smoothing out the metallic creative medium! Once dry you find some jagged edges and variations in color that add interest to the card.
It is always exciting to play with new product – even more so when it is a new Delicata ink – I love the shimmer of these – the richness of Celestial Copper is divine – a picture speaks a thousand words – so I will let the tutorial speak for itself.
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.
Valentines Day - the day for Lovers all over the world. What better way to express the 'matters of the heart' than a handmade card using the most divine ink Delicata Bronze Burst - as the name suggests - it is spectacular!
Cathy Andronicou shows how to create this work of art with IMAGINE Crafts inks and markers with RubberMoon stamps and blank clock kit.
It took me a little while to find the right design to incorporate the new Amplify product but once I did the texture and color were just perfect! Amplify Dandelions Pop on this Spring Themed Card
Layouts are so much fun - we get to create and to capture those special moments that take hold of our hearts. I am always excited to add texture and focal points to my layouts and have done so using some of the fabulous new Creative Medium.
The Steampunk style canvas was made dimensional by the use of Amplify! The colors and textures were further enhanced with StazOn Studio Glaze. This was a fun way to use the new products for a powerful effect on a small canvas.
