Alcohol Ink Valentine’s Day Card: Valentine’s Day Card Series Day 5

January 26, 2022

Hey everyone. We are to the final day of the Valentine’s Day Card Series for 2022. After watching a video by Tim Holtz I was inspired to pull out my alcohol pearl inks and play. And I’m so glad I did because the cards I created came out so pretty!  Let’s dive into the cards.

 

In the tutorial you will see how easy it was to create these gorgeous alcohol peal ink backgrounds. Remember, when you are playing or creating with alcohol inks just have fun. It takes practice to really learn how the inks will move so the more you use them the better you will understand how it flows.

 

 

The clean and simply style of these cards really make me happy. They were super easy to create and I will now leave my inks out more often to just create with no card design in mind.

 

Using that gorgeous Stylized Heart from Simon Says Stamp, pulls all this gorgeousness together.

 

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. Affiliate links are used before for the products used in the video are link below at no cost to you.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have enjoyed the series this year. See you back here soon.

Altenew Suddenly Spring Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway($300 in Total Prizes)

April 19, 2021

Hey everyone.  Welcome to the Altenew Suddenly Spring Stand-alone Dies Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. Thrilled to be on the hop with everyone. You should have arrived here from Theresa’s blog. I have several card examples for you today. This release was so much fun to create with.

 

 

 

My first card features the beautiful Altenew Mini Flower cluster and Slim Sentiments dies. The Slim Sentiments die is actually one line of text however I trimmed between the words to stack my sentiment. And the flower clusters are gorgeous for a pretty spring card.

 

 

The second card I created I used the Whimsical layering Gardening die along with the Circular Elements dies. I loved pairing these two die sets together. Using my Altenew alcohol makers I colored in the first layer of the flower and to add a striking flower I decided to outline the flower with black card stock. What a WOW factor having that graphic black outline. The sentiment is from the Inspiration Quotes stamp set.

 

And for my last card, a gorgeous white on white card is beautiful. Adding just a touch of color for my sentiment and this card was complete. It really can’t get more clean and simple than this. I love the texture of the Reflections die! The sentiment is from the Poppy Arrangement Floral Outline stamp set.

Easy Alcohol Ink Backgrounds – Valentine’s Day Card Series 2020 Day 5

January 17, 2020

I can’t believe we are already done with the card series.  So Easy alcohol ink backgrounds was a total given for today’s card.  Alcohol inks can be so much fun to place with since you never know how it’s going to turn out.

Today’s card is full of Valentine’s Day inspiration.  The large sentiment on this card was all I needed to make it stellar!  And who doesn’t love a touch of shimmer and sparkle on a card?

The striking oversized love die cut from Waffle Flower was PERFECT for today’s card.  A simple yet beautiful way to finish off a alcohol ink panel.

Here’s a quick tutorial.  You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.  I’ve used affiliate links for your convenience at no cost to you.

Thanks for joining me for the 2020 Valentine’s Day Card series.  I hope I have inspired you to use the products you have to make gorgeous Valentine’s Day cards.  I would love to see what you’re creating so make sure to tag me when you post.  Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Galaxy Warm Wishes

December 28, 2019

Hey everyone.  Today is my last card of the year featuring products from Brea Reese.  It has been a pleasure working as a design team member for the Momenta/Brea Reese family and I’m so honored.  The members of Brea Reese are amazing and I wish them continued success.  This won’t be the last time you see me using their products for sure.

My card is featuring a purply-pink galaxy background.  I love the way Brea Reese alcohol inks move so beautifully on paper.  You can never repeat the same design and that just amazes me.  I kept my card clean and simple by letting my background be the start.  Using a large sentiment from Hello Bluebird and just a small hot cocoa mug was all I needed to complete this card.

Warm Wishes With Brea Reese

December 19, 2019

Hey everyone.  Can you believe Christmas is next week?  So before I let the holiday blow past me I wanted to send you some warm wishes. Today’s card I used beautiful alcohol inks from Brea Reese and a large sentiment from Hello Bluebird.  If you live anywhere cold I’m sending you warm winter wishes for sure.

For my card today I created a beautiful blue background with Brea Reese alcohol inks on Brea Reese waterproof paper.  I trimmed down this panel to fit a standard 4.25 x 5.5 card base.  Next I die cut the warm wishes from silver foil cardstock from Concord & 9th. I inlayed the sentiment into the alcohol ink panel.  These styles of cards are super easy to make and easier to mass produce.

Warm Wishes

To finish off the card I added a few clear sparkling sequins for added sparkle.  I love how this card turned out.

Warm Wishes

Have a Merry Christmas and a blessed holiday season.  I’ll see you back here soon.
