Hello, my friends!

Today I have some fall-inspired inklended cards to share with you. Recently I watched a Reel of someone making wax seals with multiple colors and I really wanted to give them a try. I can honestly say there is a bit of a learning curve. I did waste some wax, but I did figure out what worked best for me.

For my wax seals, I started by melting the wax that I wanted to use on the maple leaf. I used yellow and green melts from the Spooktacular Wax Melts to create two different seals. 
  • Once the wax is melted over the melting furnace, I poured it onto the Maple Leaf Stamper. (Make sure to heat up the end of the stamper because if it is cool the wax will set instantly). I used my heat gun on it for a few seconds.
  • While the wax is still wet, use a metal spatula to scrape off the excess wax. 
  • I had my heat gun going nearby and used it to heat up the spatula as well. This gave me more time to work before the wax set. 
  • To remove the wax from all my elements (spatula, spoon) I found it easier if I heated them up for a few seconds and then used a baby wipe to clean off the wax. 
  • Be careful and avoid touching the metal directly while cleaning to avoid burns. 
  • Next, melt the background color, I used black melts from the Tuxedo Wax Melts, and then pressed the maple leaf stamper into the black poured wax to complete the seal. 
  • I used the Bee Creative Silicone Craft Mat to pour the wax onto. Once it is cooled it peels off really easily.
So naturally after I had made these seals, I thought I should add them to the front of a card.

CARD RECIPE


For my background, I used a variety of fall-inspired distress oxide inks (see supply list below) and ink blended them onto a couple of cardstock panels.

  • Next, I used the Fall Leaves 3D Embossing Folder to add the detail embossing to the blended backgrounds. To make the foliage pop, I used a brayer and Bee Creative Gold Metallic Ink to add touches of gold and detail to the background. You may notice more detail on this card below as I initially used black ink and really disliked how it looked and before tossing it I thought I would just try saving it by using the Gold ink over top. It worked, I was really impressed with the results as it deepened the details and I was happy I hadn't thrown it out. 
  • Before trimming each panel slightly, I splattered them with some black ink and set them aside to dry.

  • I then wrapped some black and gold bakers twine around the panel and secured the ends on the back of the panel with tape.
  • The foliage I used on the card fronts comes from the Lovely Layers: Autumn Bouquet Dies
  • I then created the bouquet and glued it in the center where the twine crossed. 
  • Next, I glued the wax seal in place by using a wax seal sticker.

Let me know if you have any questions about the process. It is very hard to explain sometimes and way easier to watch. If I have time I will create a Reel over on Instagram for you all to watch. 


I hope you enjoyed today's Ink Blended Embossed Autumn Cards. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
