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.

  • Pretty Center pop-out fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I'm so excited to share this super neat fun fold card with you today!  It's called a Center Pop-out fun fold.  I found this neat fold from my friend Terri Gaines. 

    I chose to feature the Thankful Garden bundle seen here and the Lovely Garden Designer paper seen here. 

    I love these stencils!  They are so easy to work with. Watch the video below for a special tip on lining them up.

    This card looks like it might be hard to assemble but with the center 'brace' that helps the center panel pop out it's quite simple.  It will really help you understand how to make it if you watch the video tutorial below. 

    My colors include Melon Mambo with Blueberry Bushel. Here's how the card looks with the inside brace added before I adhered the center panel: 

    I made the yellow/green version on the video to show a different color combo.  

    I colored the flowers by using the stencils included in the bundle. So easy and makes you look like a true artist with the high and low lights added with blending brushes.  

    Here's the free project sheet with measurements & step by step directions.  Click on the following link to download or print it.  Download Thankful Garden Center pop up card

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another unique fun fold using the Lovely Garden designer series paper.
