🖤 RESIST. SPRAY. STAMP. REPEAT.

Chiara has turned a simple tag into a little piece of mixed media magic.

She blended Vaseline through the Puzzle stencil to create the resist, then hit it with acrylic sprays for that gorgeous layered background.

The statement flower from Where Flowers Bloom was stamped in black and clear embossed, with smaller stamps scattered across the tag to build even more texture and interest.

Vellum sentiments, a touch of distressing and a larger tag underneath bring the whole thing together.

Bold. Textured. A little bit grungy. And seriously effective. 🔥

🎈 SAME STAMPS, NEW LOOK!

After making her masculine T-shirt card for her previous Design Team post, Shirley decided to leave the stamps in her MISTI and create a softer, more feminine version using the same design.

Keeping the colour palette monochromatic, she added shades of pink, a touch of sparkle and plenty of bold typography. 💕✨

HERE’S HOW SHIRLEY MADE IT:

1. Create the background
Shirley stencilled pink Distress Inks through the Sixty Four stencil onto pale pink card to create a soft, tonal background.

2. Stamp the sentiments
She placed the panel into her MISTI and stamped the background sentiments from Birthday Wishes using Versafine Onyx Black.

3. Trim and layer
Shirley trimmed the stamped panel and mounted it onto a folded pale pink card base.

4. Add the balloon
She die-cut a star balloon from pink glitter card using the star balloon die from the Birthday Balloons die set.

5. Finish with dimension
Pink and white baker’s twine was added to the balloon before Shirley attached it to the card front with foam dots.

The monochromatic colour scheme keeps the card clean and easy on the eye, while the black sentiments really stand out.

And because the stamps were already positioned in the MISTI, Shirley was able to create this second version in no time! 💕🎈✨

🌼 SUPER SWINGING! 💙

Fancy folds are one of those things that look complicated but are actually surprisingly easy once you understand the mechanism - and Lorraine has brought back a favourite with this gorgeous 6” square swing-fold card!

She’s used Daisy Days, the Windows stencil and a sentiment from Best Birthday Ever, combining crisp black stamping, beautiful blues and touches of metallic gold. ✨

[Process] ⬇️

🌼 STEP 1. Make the card base.
Start with a 12” square of card and cut it into two 6” × 12” pieces.

Score one piece at 6” to create the outer card blank.

Score the second piece at 3”, 6” and 9”, then fold it mountain, mountain, valley to create the swing mechanism.

🌼 STEP 2. Create the window
Cut a square from the centre of the card front using nesting square dies or a paper trimmer.

Cut your matting layers, plus two pieces measuring 5¾” × 2¾” for the inside.

🌼 STEP 3. Assemble the mechanism
Glue the section of the mechanism from the valley fold to the edge onto the inside back of the card blank.

Adhere the quarter section at the opposite end to the front frame, tucking the edge into the centre crease.

Then attach the square cut from the window onto the mechanism - only glue it to the right-hand side of the fold line so it can swing!

🌼 STEP 4. Add the stencilling
Blend Salty Ocean Distress Ink through the Windows stencil onto the mat layers, leaving the front piece unstencilled.

🌼 STEP 5. Create the focal panel
Using Daisy Days, stamp and heat emboss the centre panel and petals.

Finish the flower centre with metallic gold paint and add some gorgeous gold splatter.

🌼 STEP 6. Decorate the remaining panels
Use the smaller stamps from the set to add detail to the other panels, again finishing with gold splatter.

The sentiment from Best Birthday Ever is the perfect size for the front frame.

🌼 STEP 7. Put it all together!
Glue all your stamped and stencilled layers into position - and you’re done!

And just look at that mechanism when the card is opened out! 😍

You can also adapt this design to a rectangular card, or simply scale it up or down to suit your project.

Fancy folds don’t have to be complicated - sometimes they just need a little swing! 💙🌼

GRUNGY TEXTURE & WINGS 🖤💙💚

Autumn is almost here in the UK 🍂 A new school term awaits, as does a very special birthday for Rachel’s best friend!

For this week’s DT make, Rachel has created this grungy masculine birthday card, combining the brilliant Dragonfly Reflection & Go To Words stamp sets with the Atmospheric stencil.

We love the inky background, fabulous texture and those beautifully layered dragonfly wings! 🖤💙💚

BACKGROUND

• Spray Uncharted Mariner and Peeled Paint Distress Spray Stains onto white card. Spray generously with water and allow the colours to disperse.

• Stamp the dragonfly from Dragonfly Reflection onto the background using Versafine Clair Nocturne black ink. Heat emboss with WOW Superfine Clear Gloss embossing powder.

• Add the circle elements randomly using Uncharted Mariner and Peeled Paint Distress Ink.

STENCILLING

• Place the Atmospheric stencil over the background and smooth Distress Opaque Grit Paste through it. Repeat a second time for extra texture.

• Remove the stencil and leave to dry completely.

• Once dry, edge the background with Peeled Paint Distress Ink.

STAMPING

• Stamp the dragonfly and additional wings onto white card using Versafine Clair Nocturne. Heat emboss with WOW Superfine Clear Gloss embossing powder and fussy cut.

• Colour using Uncharted Mariner and Dusty Concord Distress Ink, then add a touch of Wink of Stella for sparkle.

SENTIMENT

• Stamp a sentiment from Go To Words onto black card using Versamark.

• Heat emboss with WOW Superfine Opaque Bright White embossing powder and fussy cut.

FINISHING TOUCHES

• Spray the background with Uncharted Mariner Distress Spritz and add some white ink splatters.

• Mount onto black card and then a white card blank.

• Add the dragonfly, wings and sentiment using 3D foam mounts and acrylic glue.

• Finish with a selection of black sparkly gems for that extra grungy impact. 🖤

RACHEL’S TOP TIP 🪰

Don’t glue the dragonfly wings flat! Use foam mounts in the centre of the wings and leave the edges free. This gives them incredible dimension and makes the dragonfly really come to life.

✨ HOPE SHINES BRIGHTER THAN FEAR ✨

A little bit of magic from Chiara! 💫

Using the Squared stencil, she blended Picked Raspberry, Faded Jeans and Wilted Violet Distress Inks, adding water flicks to create that beautiful, dreamy texture.

She then stamped Star Girl and stars from the Inner Glow stamp set in VersaMark, heat embossed them in silver and fussy cut them ready to layer onto the background. More stars were stamped directly onto the card before finishing with that gorgeous sentiment and a final sprinkling of silver ink.

A little sparkle, a little magic and a whole lot of hope. ✨

🌻 A little bit of summer sunshine! ☀️

After such a wonderful, sunshine filled summer, Jane wanted to create a card that captured some of those happy summer memories…and what better way than with a whole lot of sunflowers!

For this card, Jane used the Sunflower Grunge stamp set, kraft card and Prismacolor pencils to create a lovely retro, summery feel.

Here’s how she made it:

🌻 Step 1: Stamp the sunflower head repeatedly around the edges of the kraft card using dark brown ink.

🌻 Step 2: Cover the stamped images with clear embossing powder and heat emboss. This gives the border a lovely raised finish and really makes those sunflower heads stand out.

🌻 Step 3: Stamp the full sunflower and leaves in the centre of the card.

🌻 Step 4: Colour all the images with Prismacolor pencils, adding warm yellows and oranges to the petals and vibrant greens to the leaves.

🌻 Step 5: Add one of the happy sentiments from the set towards the top of the card.

🌻 Step 6: Finish by layering the panel onto yellow and kraft card before adding it to the card blank.

The finished card really does feel like a little snapshot of those oh-so-sunny summer days of 2026. 💛

Sometimes the best memories are the simplest ones…sunshine, flowers and happy days. 🌻

LOST IN THE STASH… FOUND UNDER THE STARS 🌙✨

Jeanette has a rather extensive collection of Visible Image stamps, and sometimes it’s time for a little treasure hunt! Digging through the stash, picking out forgotten favourites and using them in a different way is a brilliant way to rediscover what you already have.

For this card, she reached for Midnight Sky and stepped slightly outside her usual clean and simple style, adding plenty of ink for a dramatic night-sky background.

[Process] ⬇️

1. Create the moon
Stamp the moon onto watercolour paper using VersaFine Clair in Nocturne. Colour it with Distress Ink refills, then cut it out.

2. Create the starry background
Stamp the stars onto watercolour paper using VersaMark ink and emboss with Ranger Platinum embossing powder. Add Distress Spray Stain in Uncharted Mariner. Using watercolour paper means the spray can be added without the paper buckling.

3. Build the card
Frame the background with black card and attach it to a kraft card blank using double-sided tape.

4. Add the sentiment and moon
Stamp and emboss the sentiment onto vellum, then attach it to the background. Finally, use 3D foam to raise the moon and make it the focal point.

A fairly simple design with just a few key elements — and although there’s more ink than Jeanette would usually use, it’s still got that clean and simple feel. 🌙

🌸 BLOOMING WITH TEXTURE & COLOUR! 🌸

Nicola created this gorgeous tag using the Where Flowers Bloom stamp set and Puzzle stencil.

A fabulous mix of texture, dimension and bold colour!

🌻✨ SUNFLOWER DREAMS ✨🌻

Golden sunshine with a serious sparkle! 💛

Chiara created this stunning card by spritzing the background with Distress Mica Stains, before stamping the beautiful sunflower from Sunflower Dreams onto vellum and heat embossing it in gold.

She stamped another sunflower, fussy cut the centre and covered it in glitter before layering it over the original for that gorgeous, dimensional focal point. ✨

Gold embossed sentiments, delicate splatters and glitter gems complete this beautifully elegant design.

🌻 A sunflower with a little extra sparkle!

Are masculine cards really that difficult to make? 🤔❤️

Shirley proves they don’t have to be! For her latest Visible Image DT project, she’s created a bold, grungy birthday card using Nothing To Wear with the coordinating die, teamed with the Birthday Wishes sentiment set. 🤘

[Process] ⬇️

Step 1 – Creating the background
Shirley spritzed and smooshed Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans and Rusty Hinge Distress Inks onto a piece of card and left it to dry. She then added some splatters of Crushed Olive Spritz for extra texture.

Step 2 – Adding the sentiments
Using her MISTI, Shirley arranged sentiments from Birthday Wishes and stamped them onto the background using Versafine Onyx Black, creating a fun and unexpected background pattern.

Step 3 – Creating the T-shirt
She stamped the T-shirt onto acid lime card and added the Rock and star images. Using Zig Clean Colour brushes, she added shading for dimension before finishing the lettering with a white Posca pen.

Step 4 – Bringing it all together
Shirley cut out the T-shirt with the coordinating die and mounted the background onto black card, which really makes the black sentiments pop. She then attached the T-shirt using foam dots for extra dimension.

A bold, colourful card with plenty of attitude! Masculine cards definitely don’t have to be boring! 🎸🤘
