IMAGINE and Stampendous Blog Hop

Welcome to a week of fantastic collaboration between IMAGINE Crafts and Stampendous! We have to admit that our two companies were made for each other and we’re proud to have shared a long relationship of working together. After all, what are stamps without ink? The projects created by our artists this week feature IMAGINE Crafts Radiant Neon™ inks paired perfectly with coordinating colors of Fran•táge Color Fragments from Stampendous, along with some of their newest stamp designs and Stack Art kits.

Prizes galore for participating in the Blog Hop this week!

We’ll be giving three prize packages of 3 Radiant Neon inks and 3 Fran•táge Color Fragments (we’ll choose your colors). There will be a bright crafting future ahead of you! Each day we’ll post that day’s participating artists.  Visit their blog and leave a comment by midnight PST May 25th. We will randomly select three different blogs from the five days, then randomly draw one commenter from each blog. You must have a U.S. mailing address to win, but we’d love for everyone to hop and comment! You can check out the Official Rules for all our contests if you have questions.

So are you ready for some exciting inspiration?

Here’s who is hopping today:

Here we go – check out my Radiant Neon Challenge

Supplies:
IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko Memento Luxe Radiant Neon™ ink in Electric Pink & Electric Orange; StazOn Opaque White; GlazOn; Clear Embossing Powder; InkBlushers
Stampendous background stamps, crown chipboard and words from the Royal Heart Stack Art Kit & Royal Heart Kraftboard Stack Art Kit and Fran•táge Color Fragments in Hot Pink, Yellow, Orange & Lime
ICE Resin Jeweler’s Grade Self-Doming resin
Miscellaneous: white cardstock, glue, fine glitter

Gather supplies and trim white cardstock to size of bezel

Stamp script background first with Electric Pink then Electric Orange, let dry. Cover background with GlazOn to seal paper, let dry and add to bezel.
To achieve the white bezel, using an inkblusher and StazOn Opaque White, coat the outside of the bezel until completely covered in ink, let dry, then coat with GlazOn to seal the ink.

With a small amount of adhesive, begin to build your design. I mixed Hot Pink, Orange, Lime & Yellow Color Fragments in a small bag and mixed while pressing to make a bit smaller.
Apply adhesive to crown and cover with glitter, let dry completely
Add ‘queen’ to the bezel with some GlazOn
Sprinkle Color Fragments around the design
Gently pour in Ice Resin to desired level and let dry completely – up to 24 hours.

Now you are ready to turn the bezels into decorative or jewelry pieces.
