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.

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.

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

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

Brea Reese Holiday Lights

November 14, 2019

Hey everyone.  I’m back today sharing Brea Reese holiday lights with you.  These lights were super easy to make and can easily be recreated using different colors of ink.  One of my favorite color combinations is red and teal.  I know these colors are not normally ones must people would choice for holiday lights. However, remember it’s your creation so you can make it any color you want. 😉

Brea Reese Holiday Lights

I started off by making large backgrounds on Brea Reese waterproof paper. Mixing three blue shades of ink on one panel and two red shades of ink on the other.  I made sure to add lots of colorless solution to keep the colors moving and flowing nicely together.  While I let them I worked on the background.

Gray card stock is definitely a color I go to when I want a soft background for an image or in this case my lights.  I trimmed down a panel of fog card stock and stamped a cheerful holiday message in the corner with Versamark.  Next I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.  For the string that hold my lights, I dipped white baker’s twine in gold watercolor and heat set it.

Now it was time to assemble my card.  I pulled the string through the top of each light and attached the string to the back of the gray panel.  For dimension on my card I popped up each light with foam dots and staggered them across the top of the panel. I adhered this panel to a white card base made with 100 lb Neenah Solar White card stock.  Additional interest was a must for the background so I pulled out a few gems and flat back sequins to scatter around the lights.

As I mentioned in the beginning of the post, these Brea Reese holiday lights are super easy one to recreate.  Color palette are available on my color combinations board on Pinterest if you need color inspiration. Thanks for stopping by today.  I’ll see you back here soon.

Masculine Card With Brea Reese Alcohol Inks

October 17, 2019

Hey peeps.  I’m back with another masculine card with Brea Reese alcohol inks.  I know many of us struggle with making masculine cards.  I’m trying to break that cycle and make at least one masculine card a week so I have plenty on hand when I need them. Making masculine cards with Brea Reese alcohol inks is quick and easy.

For today’s card I wanted to add lots of texture to my card for a really cool look.  First I applied three darks colors of ink onto 110lb card stock with a blending tool.  Next I came back in with a piece of felt wrapped around the edge of a straight ruler and laid down a few irregular stripes with yellow, red and green inks.  This gave a great color variation.  Once this panel was dried I ran it through my die cutting machine with an embossing folder.  I have done this technique before and I always love how it looks.

Brea Reese Masculine Card

Keeping this card clean and simple, I die cut out a quick thanks sentiment from Simon Says Stamp using brown and yellow card stock.  Next I stamped out a sentiment from the Thankful Heart stamp set also from Simon Says Stamp and heat embossed it in gold embossing powder.  I trimmed that piece down to form a small banner I could pop under the thanks die cut. I also swiped on a small amount of gold alcohol over there raised areas of the background. To finish off the card I adhered it to a yellow card base.

I’m so happy with the way this card turned out. What’s so amazing with the Brea Reese alcohol inks, the variations of backgrounds are endless.  Here’s a close up of this stunning card. You can click on my Brea Reese Alcohol Inks link to see more projects from me.

I would love to see what designs you come up with using Brea Reese alcohol inks. Make sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see your work.  Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Morning everyone. I'm up on the @heroarts blog tod Morning everyone. I'm up on the @heroarts blog today sharing a tutorial using the new Hero Arts Tiling Textures stamp set with the Gold Hero Wax. This wax goes on like butter and once dried it's wonderful to stamp on. 

One of the tiles in the stamp set reminds me of honeycombs, so of course I needed to pull out cute bees from the Hero Arts Beelieve stamp set. It's a match made in heaven.

Head on over to the Hero Arts blog for more photos and a link to the tutorial. I also have a detail write up sharing how this card was created as well. Have a great day everyone.

Happy Friday everyone. I hope you're having a grea Happy Friday everyone. I hope you're having a great evening. Have you seen the  @simonsaysstamp Dream Big release? Oh it really makes my heart happy.

I had the chance to color up these adorable unicorns from the Born the Sparkle stamp set. I mean these unicorns are just too darn cute. My medium of choice were my Copics makers. I decided this card need some dimension, I stamped the unicorns and clouds once on my panel card stock and again on a separate piece of card stock so I could color them. Next I fussy cut each one out to pop them up on my card. 

This card really does make my heart happy. Unicorns for the win! Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
