The Stamp Market Hugs and Hello Stamp Set

May 15, 2019

Good morning everyone. Today I’m sharing a card using The Stamp Market Hugs and Hello stamp set. This stamp set includes the prettiest paper hugs and hello sentiments. As soon as I saw the stamp set I fell in love with it. The contrast between the large bold letters and the thin line letters are stunning together. They are also very easy to layer as well.

I’ve been using alcohol inks a lot more lately so I had a few backgrounds ready for a card. For this card I used my Ranger Pearl Alcohol inks in rainbow order to create this background. I will say that these inks do more a little bit differently on a card compared to their counterparts. Assuming that the pearl additive slightly changes the ink and makes it flow differently across my paper.

Regardless of the difference in properties I am still a HUGE fan of the pearl alcohol inks. I mean you can achieve shimmer and color all in one ink. That’s a bonus for me and I’m sure it is for you as well.

So on to the card I made. Like I mentioned I already had this panel made so all I needed to do was add the right sentiment. This paper hugs sentiment is large enough to really work well on this background. With this sentiment you really don’t need anything else. Just for some added blink, I attached two heart glossy enamels from Pink and Main to anchor the sentiment on the card.

After pulling the sentiment off of the background to get ready to stamp, there was a slight transfer of color onto to the stamp itself. After heat embossing it with arctic white embossing powder from InkOn3 I still had residue on the sentiment. However I’m completely okay with it.

Here’s a closeup of how the paper looks. It’s so pretty in real like. I will definitely be using the pearl alcohol inks again to make backgrounds for my card.

Brea Reese Trio Striped Alcohol Ink Background Card

May 8, 2019

Hey peeps. I’m back today sharing a Brea Reese trio striped alcohol ink background card. Totally in love with these inks. If you missed the first card I made using these inks you can check them out here. These inks work beautifully on yupo, legend papers and Brea Reese waterproof paper. Let me show you the card I have for you today.

To create this card I used a three colors from Brea Reese. I used orange, turquoise and medium magenta. I applied some inks on a mini blending tool in a stripe pattern. Next I dragged the tool across the Brea Reese waterproof paper to create my stripes. Look how vibrant the colors appear on this paper. It’s stunning.

I paired this gorgeous ink background with a sparkly sentiment. I pulled out my Altenew Bold Alphabet dies and glitter paper from DCWV. For added dimension I die cut the sentiment several times and glued them all together. This makes for a thicker embellishment. I layered the alcohol ink background onto bright orange card stock and then onto a white card base. For some added sparkle I used a few of my Lucy’s Card iridescent jewels. I absolutely LOVE how this card turned out.

Let me know if you would like to see more alcohol ink techniques using Brea Reese alcohol inks. These inks are a MUST have for any alcohol ink junkie! LOL Have a great day everyone. See you back here soon.

Brea Reese Alcohol Inks – How Awesome Are These Inks

April 29, 2019

Hey peeps. The Brea Reese alcohol inks are amazing!! I had a chance to play with a few of them thanks to the lovely ladies over at Momenta. There are a few brands on the market when it comes to alcohol inks however these flow so smoothly and easily to me. I feel like a mad scientist when I’m working with these inks. The colors blend and flow on yupo paper, waterproof paper and waterproof panels with ease.

My color combo was created using ocean green, lake blue and rose. I love this color combination for achieving ocean colors in depths of blue all the way to purple. I added some gold to this color combo as well to give it some shimmer. The gold is not part of the Brea Reese alcohol inks. To keep the color moving swiftly across my paper I also used blending solution from Brea Reese.

To create a soft look, I made sure to use a heat tool however I kept the air blowing quickly on the paper and didn’t leave it in one place for too long. Note: if you use more blending solution, you will get a lighter color palette. Adding in drops of gold and keeping the ink flowing gave me great veins in this piece. With just one panel I was able to get two cards made.

I decided to keep both cards very clean and simple. I heat embossed some card stock with gold rush embossing powder from Ink On 3. The beautiful hello die cut is from Pink and Main and looks gorgeous in gold. Gold foil paper was a perfect addition to this card and worked nicely with the gold in the alcohol ink. A little bit of gold splatter and gold floss finished off these cards.

Celebrate With Pink and Main Celebrate Stamps and Dies

March 28, 2019

Hey peeps. I’m back today on the Pink and Main blog sharing the Celebrate stamp set and coordinating dies. There is nothing better than making a card and finding the perfect die to go with it. I’m a huge font snob (yup I said it) and the font Pink and Main uses for their die cuts is one of my favorites. This celebrate die cut is my all time favorite due to it’s size and style. This Pink and Main celebrate stamp set and die has such a variety of ways to make a statement on your cards. You can also pair it with the Birthday stamp set available over in the Pink and Main shop.
