Striking and fun Black Magic technique with video!


I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s the Black Magic technique!

My colors include Peaceful Pine, Old Olive (ink only), Golden Glow and White. It features the Fern & Flora bundle seen here.

What is the Black Magic technique? It’s where you start with a light neutral piece of card stock and add color with sponges or markers. Then stamp images in Versamark and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. The magic happens when you cover it completely with a water based ink (here I used Secret Sea). Then wipe off the ink that does not ‘stick’ to the heat embossed areas. True magic!

Watch my video tutorial further below to see this technique in action.

On this card I used mostly the stamp images; only the greeting die-cut is from the dies. I added a few In Color butterfly gems and the pretty Golden Glow ribbon too.

I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download it or to print it.

I made one with Golden Glow as the card base and the other as Peaceful Pine as the card base.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and another.

  • Exciting Times card with a new In Color


    Here’s a neat card that showcases a bunch of new products from the 2026 Summer catalog by Stampin’ Up!.

    This is our new ‘Golden Glow’ in color with Blueberry Bushel and White. I added white centers to the small embossed daisies with our new White Gel Pen.

    It features a ton of new products which I’ll list here:

    I trimmed off one inch from the card front to reveal the pretty DSP on the inside edge. I originally created this for a possible swap card; but it didn’t make the cut. Do you see the blooper/mistake here?
