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

[@amyswares]

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.

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!

[@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!

[@yvonnemoore3698]

Beautiful quick cards as always Amy. I am going to get some of those micro dot sheets as they will make life a bit easier. Yvonne

[@amyswares]

Thank you sweet friend.

[@karenyoung58]

[@anitatrippi7072]

Thanks for all the tips and reminders, Amy! I have a ton of alcohol ink but have not used them in years. Hope they still work…congrats on over 6K in subscribers❤️ Keep going👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@amyswares]

Thanks so much friend! Yes definitely get them out and have a go, so fun!

[@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!

[@pauladyer9845]

I like to use poster board..thanks

[@amyswares]

Thanks for watching

[@jane-ellenweidanz9236]

Just beautiful cards. Love the tip on the adhesive.

[@amyswares]

Thanks so much!!

[@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!!

[@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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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

Hi there, here is my link for the Thanks one: shrsl.com/4i94t Sadly the Happy Birthday one is discontinued as well as the Rare Find one. I always link the available products below my vids if you expand and scroll down under the vids you will find the info there. Here are some other scripty-ish dies that are sort of similar: shrsl.com/4i951 shrsl.com/4i954 shrsl.com/4i956 I don't have these similar dies so make sure you check the dimensions to see if it's what you are in the market for.

[@amyswares]

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