Greetings crafty friends, today I am using my FAVORITE ink pad — Kaleidacolor. This 5-color water-based dye ink pad is very useful for a basic crafting project because it offers a variety of colors and the sliding palette feature gives you a lot of options.
This is a quick, fun card style to make, you can use any re-inkers you have in your stash and mix/match with plain colors and beautiful metallic tones as I did here.
In this quick ink swatching video, I used the Waffle Flower Swatch Stamp and Die set for Kaleidacolor Ink Pads to show how these multicolor inks can be used throughout the year.

A monochromatic color scheme can produce a lovely outcome; especially when framed with White MBoss Embossing powder.
I love the look of water colors. I have a few stamps with beautiful swish marks but sometimes I need them to be bigger and more substantial, so I used my ink pads for that. And in a few minutes you have a gorgeous simplistic background that looks really artistic.
I am not normally a fan of green, but layered together with some shimmer this color is a real neutral gem. Use it for Thanks Giving and Christmas or all through the year celebrating mother nature.
What are you thankful for? Family? Friends? Everything?! We created a quick and easy beginner lesson for those who want to express gratitude.
Christmas is quickly approaching so I have stocking stuffers on my mind. I knew the instant I saw the Deer Friends stamp set from Joy Clair it would make a perfect little magnetic playset.

I love upcycling old, found items. In today's video, I give this tea tin has a fresh new shabby chic look while still holding on to that vintage feel using the VersaFine Clair ink in Fallen Leaves paired with the Walnut ink. I love this way this turned out and hopefully, you will give this project a try.
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.
For November, Imagine is working with Rinea papers and I am having so much fun experimenting with how they emboss and handle ink products! I used the Walnut spray and Creative Medium on the Rinea paper and made a beautiful fall card.
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.
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.
See how to use Imagine embossing powder and Tsukineko's VersaMark ink to upcycle an old cutting board.
This project was inspired by some gorgeous wire, metal, and glass lanterns we spotted in a shop last year. They were not for sale (more’s the pity), but that never stops a crafter—at least not for long! With some paper maché houses and the help of shimmery Delicata inks, these holiday houses have a perfect patina of aged metal.

Autumn is my favorite time of year but it seems to fly by so quickly. I am always trying to stretch the season out as long as possible and one of the ways I do so is with home decor projects. These fun faux pumpkins look amazing with StazOn Metallic inks paired with a bit of Tuxedo Black Pico Embellisher.
I love to upcycle items that may have outlived their usefulness in their original form into pieces of art. I thought this old rusty muffin tin would be a perfect candidate.
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.
