Alcohol blends technique with video tutorial


I shared this fun technique on a recent video; I call it the Alcohol Blends Background.  

For the cards above I added pretty floral die-cuts from the Paper Florist dies.  The greetings are from the Kindest Expressions stamp set.  The background colors were made with the following Blends: Left card Mossy Meadow & Lemon Lime Twist. Right card was Berry Burst & Blackberry Bliss.  

To achieve this cool background you need Blends or alcohol markers and rubbing alcohol in a spritzer bottle. I used regular Basic White card stock and a clear plastic folder to work on. You can watch the video here.  

I tried many color combinations; you can see some of the finished cards below plus the backgrounds too. 

I shared this technique on Monday night's Live and challenge my followers to share a card featuring this technique on my Stamp & Share Facebook group.  Share yours here by August 27th to get in on the door prize drawing.

  • Gorgeous new kits available but look at these too!


    Each month Stampin’ Up! releases 2 new kits in our Kit Collection online. I’ll share both here with you. I expect these to sell out quickly. They will be re-ordered but then you have to wait!

    First is the Adventure Awaits kit. Retro cards with fun retro vehicles! It’s always great to have cards on hand for the guys too right?

    It includes 9 cards with envelopes with vellum ‘windows’. The greetings are pre-printed for easy creating.
    The kit is just $14. Click here to see it.

    Next is the Everyday Beauty kit. Gorgeous with gold foil accents.

    This one is also 9 cards but it includes a stamp set, block and ink pad too. It’s $25 and can be seen here.

    I had a chance to play with some of my kits from the Kit Collection this weekend and fell in love with this kit! The photo SU shared does not do it justice!

    See what I mean? Absolutely stunning cards and so easy as the greetings are printed. Remember that our kits are all inclusive; the only think you need is a scissors.
    This is the Brighten Your Day kit and can be seen here. Here are each set of cards shown separately.

    Which of these beauties is your favorite?

    I absolutely love having a kit or three handy for when I just want to create and not think or plan. We have over 20 available right now and they change monthly. These make wonderful gifts since they are all inclusive.
    You can see all of our kits here.

  • Stunning Amber Autumn card with free project sheet


    This is the card we made at my October card clubs:

    Isn’t it beautiful? I got the idea from Akemi Geary from Everyday Stamping. I didn’t change much because I loved it that much.
    It features the Amber Autumn bundle seen here. That beautiful, detailed background die creates the gorgeous backdrop for the pretty colored images and you can also get multiple leaf die-cuts from it by clipping them apart.

    We colored them with Blends markers and added a few die-cut leaves from the Earthen toned Metallic paper seen here. A thin strip of Autumn Toile DSP, the Irregular ribbon & gems finished it off beautifully.

    I kept the inside quite simple by stamping a greeting from the Gathering Moments stamp set and adding the acorn & leaves image without coloring it.

    I created a free project sheet for you with photo, measurements and products used. Click here to download or print it.
