A revisit with alcohol ink on my cards! I just can't get enough! Quick batching techniques!

A revisit with alcohol ink on my cards! I just can't get enough! Quick batching techniques! Expand here and scroll down for product links and details. In this vid I do some quick batching greeting cards with some dollar store poster board and my beloved alcohol inks! I'm always amazed at how quickly these come together and how many cards I could mass produce in a short period of time! If you struggle with how to use alcohol inks on your cards, maybe give this method a try. It's been providing me tried and true consistent results. These birthday cards and greeting cards are great masculine or gender neutral card ideas and work for anyone! Thanks for watching!

Have you struggled with Alcohol inks? I hope this method helps you!

[@niseg6339]

I don’t often like how my alcohol ink backgrounds turn out. Yours are SO classy! I don’t have T!m’s huffer tool, which might make a difference in my creations. I need to play again. I also need to work on my batching and organizing. oh and this one ❤should get more than 1 thumbs up👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 but, alas, I am not allowed to say how I truly feel by youtube. I hope you are enjoying this glorious day in the mitten. 🌞

[@amyswares]

@@niseg6339 aww, I'm so glad that you like it. Thanks as always for the encouragment. Hope you are having a good day too!

Amy, are you buying the massive single large sheets of Poster Board or the smaller sheets that come in a pack from Dollar Tree?

[@amyswares]

@@briges.766 I buy the big full sheets and cut them down.

Dollar tree here I come. Poster board makes economic sense and your cards are beautiful.

[@amyswares]

And it works so well! Have so much fun crafting! Thanks for watching

[@arlenep3784]

These are absolutely amazing. I have to try this technique

[@amyswares]

It really is fun! Have a great day!

Soooo pretty! Can’t wait for our weather to cool off so I can pull my inks out and play with the windows open!! As always, great inspiration…TY so much!!🧑🏼‍🎨💗👍🏻👍🏻

[@amyswares]

So glad you like it!

[@love2create62]

Those are so gorgeous, I love alcohol inks! I will only use them outside because I'm afraid they will hurt my dog, more than I worry about myself.

[@amyswares]

Thanks so much for watching. I'm glad that you like them!

[@pauladyer9845]

I like to use poster board..thanks

[@amyswares]

[@shellyrene5708]

When I saw this video I could not get to my crafty space fast enough to gather my binder and baseball card sleeves - this is probably one I’d my favorite ideas ever for storing sentiments!!! Beautiful cards 💗

[@amyswares]

Yay! I'm so glad you like it!

[@sue5560]

Gorgeous alcohol ink backgrounds! And so fast and easy! I must try posterboard! I have started die cutting extras and it really is a game changer! Thanks for all you share Amy! Have a great weekend!

[@amyswares]

Yes the posterboard is awesome with alcohol ink and so cheap! Thanks for watching

[@lindas.9313]

I ordered some of the micro dot adhesive sheets after seeing your review video and I like them. Your alcohol ink cards are very pretty and I like how you die cut them before adding the ink. I usually die cut after I've used the inks and lose all my white space.

[@amyswares]

So glad you like it! Thanks for watching

[@debs55695]

Your cards are AWESOME!! I don't know why I feel intimidated with my alcohol inks. Probably because I don't feel like I have control over how they are going to end up. 🙄🤔I need to get them out and play I guess and see if I can come anywhere close to getting such beautiful backgrounds as you did.

[@amyswares]

You can do it! I believe in you!!

[@pennyevans1914]

Time to try these again.....does not look that difficult. Probably 'crafter error' 😊😊😊

[@amyswares]

I really did struggle for a long time. Then my friend Al showed me this method through her vid and I have been using it ever since with consistent results!! Have fun crafting!

[@BeverlyMandell-rz7id]

Love this video! I am not clear on the die cut. Is this a tool for cutting the paper and is there a video on this? Thanks.

[@amyswares]

You know I don't have a vid about it but this is good inspiration to make one. These are thin metal dies that you put on top of the paper and then sandwich it between the cutting plates and run it through an embossing/die cutting machine that applies a lot of pressure and then it cuts the paper. I hope this helps.

[@amyswares]

Thank you so much for watching!!

[@maryreneebruno9962]

Beautiful cards. For the poster paper, are you using the shiny side or the matte side? And is it the same with photo paper? Thanks for any info 😊

[@amyswares]

Poster board shiny side. Photo paper the backside (not the side that gets printed on). Thanks for watching!!

[@jillmontanez9594]

Great video! Do you use a Kamar or any fixative spray on your cards?

[@amyswares]

Not for cards no. When I was selling alcohol art pieces for walled art then I would do a UV spray and a fixative but for just cards, no. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@beckyeberts120]

Is the posterboard matt finish or glossy? Thanks for a fun video!

[@amyswares]

It is glossy for sure, that's why it works and flows around on the surface.

[@stellaolejar9007]

Amy I think these alcohol ink backgrounds are awesome. I have those small tunes of foil but where did you get the titanium one you used?

[@amyswares]

Do you mean the titanium foil from the other alcohol ink vid?

[@amyswares]

If you meant the titanium foil from the other vid then here it is H&H Textile Foils: www.hhsignsupply.com/productcart/pc/showsearchresults.asp?keyword=textile+foils

I always link the available products below my vids if you expand and scroll down under the vids you will find the info there.

Is this a special paper you use or regular cardstock?

[@amyswares]

Hiya, it's not regular cardstock. I use glossy coated poster board from the dollar store with the alcohol inks.

@@amyswares oh cool. I got alcohol inks for ornaments and want to use them for cards.

Awesome! Have fun!
