Holiday Card Series 2019 Day 5 – Pretty Pink Posh

November 21, 2019

It’s Day 5 of the Holiday Card Series.  The inspiration just keeps coming.  Today I have a cards using Pretty Pink Posh products.  Let’s get into the first card.  I used the Joy stamp and die from Pretty Pink Posh to make this masculine holiday card.  Do you struggle with masculine cards?  You are not the only one. I need holiday cards for my male friends and this one was super easy to make.

Pretty Pink Posh Joy

Simple coloring and a clean design help to make this card easy.

Let’s get into the tutorial. You can also watch any of the videos during the series on my Youtube channel.

 

Pretty Pink Posh Joy

For my bonus card today, I start by die cutting some designer paper and green card stock with the Festive Holly Dies.  These dies are so much fun to work with.  There is a main die to cut out the shape as well as another die to make a border piece.  I also cut out the berries in red card stock.  Next I glued the top green layer onto the designer paper and adhered the berries on top.  I added a bit of shimmer to the berries before I covered them with glossy accent.  I set this aside to dry and moved on to my sentiment piece.

To being I trimmed dow a piece of red card stock to fit the width of my card.  I layered this piece onto green designer paper that had a holly design on it.  Pulling out my Misti I stamped the sentiment and additional hollies in Versamark ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder.  For some added detail I used a white gelly roll pen to add faux stitching to this panel.

Once my holly was dry, I popped them up around my sentiment.  This card was very easy to pull together.  I can totally see mass producing this card in multiple holiday colors.

Thanks for visiting today.  Come back tomorrow for more inspiration for another guest designer.

Brea Reese Alcohol Ink Coasters

July 10, 2019

Hey peeps.  I love home decor and I also love adding my own flare to my home so I pulled out my Brea Reese Alcohol Inks and made some coasters.  My hubby and I are always out in the lanai during the summer and I needed something to place our glasses on and no store purchased coaster was gonna do.  For my coaster of course I needed a rainbow flare and for my hubby’s I kept it simple and did a stone look.

Making the coasters is pretty easy.  All you need is a white ceramic tile, Brea Reese alcohol inks and blending solution, 91% rubbing alcohol and happiness in your heart. ❤️  To make your coasters, clean each tile with the 91% rubbing alcohol and a paper towel.  This will remove any finger prints or dust particles.  Next get creative.  I started off at the corner of my tile with red mixing in the blending solution to help it move.  Continuing with all the color across until my colors were complete. (Side note: if you don’t like how your coaster is turning out, wipe it clean with alcohol and you can start all over again.)

I’m all about the rainbow and this made a beautiful coaster.  Adding a touch of gold really made the coaster pop. The movement of the alcohol inks on this coaster really make it unique.  When laying down your inks make sure to keep the flow of it under control.  Using a heat gun or blowing it with a straw gives the coaster tons of movement.

Here is a close up of the inks.  Look how gorgeous these colors work on the tile.  You can add more texture by flicking on just alcohol to give it small white marks.  I have to say I LOVE how this turned out.

 

For a more masculine coaster, I pulled out my gray alcohol inks.  This was perfect for my hubby as he really likes the look of marble and slate. I worked in layer for this one.  The different gray scales of the Brea Reese alcohol inks are just beautiful.  It actually takes on a more undertone of blue on this one.  I used my heat gun to gradually move the ink around on the coaster until I built up the colors I liked. Then I came in with a paint brush dipped in blending solution to make the veins.  Make sure to clean your brush between each stroke as to not pull any color where you may not want it.  Splattering the tile with alcohol added interest and texture.

When you are completely finished make sure to seal your coaster with a spray varnish and add cork to the back to keep it from scratching surfaces you place your tile on.  I prefer Krylon Kamar Varnish.  If you are not a fan of varnish, you can also use resin to seal it.  I hope you enjoyed my post today and we would love to see what you are making with your Brea Reese alcohol inks.  Tag Brea Reese on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.  These inks make beautiful projects and we love to be inspired.  Thanks for stopping by today.  I’ll see you back here soon.
