Easy Alcohol Ink Backgrounds

[@kristinpicton8819]

Oh my gosh, Jennifer! Your early videos using alcohol inks are what got me started with card making! TY!

[@janehambly915]

The rejoice and star card looks like it’s straight from heaven the green one your cards are amazing

[@caroldaigle9729]

I had to show these to my husband! He gets ideas for me to use, but hasn't made any cards - yet! It's hard to impress a man, but he was awed. TY Jennifer. I'll be getting out my alcohol inks.

[@j9cardstock354]

Wow, wow, wow! the backgrounds are beautiful and the cards are super stunning! The holy star and the hand written word dies (presumably Kristina’s handwriting) are gorgeous. Thanks for all the inspiration and instruction.

[@megbreiter6314]

Such a good way to use the alcohol ink... with a paintbrush 🖌️... amazing

[@janegotelli7152]

Absolutely love this technique. I didn’t know I could use alcohol on the alcohol ink for a beautiful look. The blending solution always just gave me dots and I didn’t think to move it around. I am so grateful for all the inspiration you have given me over the years.

[@patriciaposk9511]

This is so helpful to me and all of us. Just jam packed full of ideas...and techniques...and they are all so striking and just fantastic...................thank you Jennifer........................................pat

[@pattsyorsburn2471]

I learn more about alcohol inks, and didn't know about the paper. Thanks

[@cherrib9783]

Jennifer, I have ton of alcohol inks and hardly ever used them - you’ve given me some fantastic ideas - thank you!

[@cheekypeachy7764]

Thanks so much for doing this video, Jennifer! I have never seen this technique before. Sometimes "old is new" is good adage to go back to! Absolutely beautiful cards!

[@diannebaldwin3667]

Hi Jennifer thanks again for another inspiring video. So many beautiful ideas there !

[@cindyvanmeter9938]

I always learn great tips from your videos, you are amazing. Can't say anything that hasn't been said a million times. Thanks Cindy

[@taniab2018]

You are so welcome!

[@cherylcullen9087]

Hello Jennifer!! These backgrounds turned out beautiful and you turned them into such stunning cards!! I really love how the alcohol inks did when you blew air thru the straw...really made the colors blend so beautifully!! I would love to see more videos on using alcohol inks please!! This was an awesome video Jennifer...thank you for sharing!! Your a rock star Jennifer!! 🦋

[@carolsze6559]

So glad to see you use yupo. It’s an amazing product. I started watching you way back when you had a whole series on alcohol inks. It’s so forgiving and each creation is unique and stunning especially with the metallic mixatives.

[@brendawalsh8254]

That rejoice card is so gorgeous, I couldn’t wait til the video is over to comment

[@bevpallenbelbin7100]

As usual beautiful cards. Always appreciate how much you help us with our cards.

[@cindyvanmeter9938]

It's always a joy to watch your videos, I learn so much, you are so talented. I know you hear it a lot. Thank you

[@deborahsanders8564]

What a tremendous use for reinkers, etc. Gorgeous results - I can’t wait to give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@jackieprice7800]

Gorgeous backgrounds which make for some gorgeous cards!! I think you've got a fabulous idea to frame the rainbow one. It is so beautiful and is my favourite as well. Thanks for all the tips of alcohol inks!!

[@pamelasertich9850]

I love playing with alcohol inks on Yupo. I am glad you mentioned that you didn’t have to seal or fix it because I really wondered about that. I also love that technique of blowing on the ink. They were all gorgeous as usual. Thank you so much

[@maryjohull6341]

Love your videos. I am addicted to yupo paper and alcohol inks

[@berlycece]

Those Christmas stamps and dies are fabulous! And your backgrounds are stunning! I'll be referring to this video quite often.

[@darlenegreen1089]

These cards are amazing Jennifer! I've loved alcohol inks since they first came out and it's good to be able to use a new technique with them. I can't wait to dig them out! thank you for sharing.

[@BEConnection7]

Thank you Thank you Jennifer. I bought Alcohol Inks and I was at a loss as to what to do with them now I am about to have some Fun. I so like your videos and style of teaching

[@traciepond9105]

My alcohol inks did not make the move with us last year. Now all of these beautiful backgrounds are appearing. Thank you for sharing.

[@carolyngurney5376]

I got an alcohol Ink set for Christmas. You’re cards are so unique and creative. I can’t wait to see more that you do with alcohol inks.

[@bevpage5441]

As always Jennifer, you stun us with your creativity and knowledge of the products you use, also encouraging us to "play" and have fun with everything. As another very wise lady says, "it's only paper", so if it goes wrong, it hasn't cost you a huge amount of money. Many thanks. LOVED this youtube. Bev.

[@beckripley]

Jennifer, you are inspiring. I love playing with alcohol ink, but wondered how to make great Christmas cards with the medium and you've given me so many ideas. I love the dye cut words. They are the perfect adornment while leaving the painting visible. Thank you.

[@marylehett1127]

Thank you, Mindy, for sharing such creative backgrounds. Your tutorial was so much fun to watch.

[@janarnold7241]

I love that some of these techniques that I learned awhile back are resurfacing!

[@Linda-qq5mg]

Beautiful, Beautiful!! Your work is so inspiring! Thank you so much.

[@shabbytimeboutique7037]

Hi Jennifer. It's Lisa, and I'm new in this neck of the crafting woods. :) Thank you for your instructive video. I don't at this time have any alcohol (liquid) inks, but I do have some alcohol markers. I am going to try your method with them, and see how it turns out! This is also the first year that, because of your teaching and encouragement, I made ALL of my Christmas cards! I had a blast, and am now preparing for birthdays and Valentine's Day. Ha Ha Ha Thank you again. I really appreciate you; especially your openness about your faith! *Hugs*

[@kathymackowick1377]

I love the backgrounds and watching you - you make it look so easy. Thanks for showing us this addictive technique.

[@ronnietelowitz7706]

First time seeing alcohol ink and I am hooked. Must get supplies right away. Thank you

[@lisadavis4807]

I love the look the straw makes!

[@Zylophila]

Thanks for another amazing and inspiring video! It inspired me to postpone my cleaning so I can create cards. My creativity was shut down after my mom's passing and my cards have been, well...blah. I have never been disappointed with Alcohol Inks! Maybe I'll clean tomorrow. Maybe................................

[@BarbGhig]

You are AMAZING, Jennifer! Thank you so much for sharing all of these great ideas with us...your cards are absolutely gorgeous!

[@Jeanne-W]

Gorgeous! And as abundantly creative as always. Would LOVE to see how you use all those scraps, Jennifer!

[@jodyknapp5374]

I absolutely love the holy stars and rejoice sentiment Thank you so much for requesting this as I can see many many cards in my future with these dies!!

[@janiceburt4820]

You are so very skilled! It’s amazing what you do with inks. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@vickirivera1052]

It's amazing! Most people don't speak of alcohol ics in such light. Nice job!

[@katesirrine]

Thank you for saying "addictive" instead of "addicting." Just another reason I like you.

[@vickirivera1052]

Nice when people use the correct grammar isn't it?

[@pattiepan]

great job Jennifer and I love those backgrounds................pat

[@jennifersmith9344]

Awesome cards! Love your nail polish too! Lol

[@sugarbaby1954]

Wow, you really did a bunch of cards. That's what I love about you, you go all out. Thank you for sharing another wonderful set of cards.

[@kathycoppersmith9982]

This is fantastic! I love how easy it looks. And I love the effects that make a perfect background to look like the night sky. Awesome!

[@penny1346]

I am watching your you tubes and am fascinating. Thank you for your creativity and sharing the beautiful cards. I am making tags and having so much fun. I will use the many techniques you have shared.

[@1evelynvasquez]

I really like those metalic drops.

[@kathyferguson7302]

I love the technique you showed today. I will definitely be trying this.

[@laureencampbell1359]

Beautiful work… excellent demonstration. New technique for me, can’t wait to try it. Thank You!

[@kmcorby]

Great job, Jen. So creative. I didn't think you could heat-emboss Yupo paper. That makes me more interested in it.

[@donnakae42]

OMG I am enthralled with your designs. I must blow the dust off my inks and experiment with my Yupo.

[@misscheesecake1952]

I just viewed this video in May of 2018. OMG! what a great video. I immediately made 14 Christmas cards. Thanks again..you are the BEST!

[@brendalkuder7736]

Love all of your examples. I have also had alcohol inks for years. I am definitely going to try this and please do another video using the felt pads.

[@lindarauch3269]

Beautiful backgrounds. Time to dig out my inks. Thanks for sharing.

[@teresadoyle1396]

These are all so very beautiful Jennifer. I learned something like this years ago and it was very addictive. We called it marbling then and it IS fun. All of your backgrounds are gorgeous as are the completed cards. TFS!

[@donnadacy5876]

These backgrounds are so pretty. I remember doing this years ago. Got to get my inks out. TFS

[@terrie1226]

I don't know what to say that hasn't been said...these background are amazing and I enjoyed watching you do them....such beautiful cards that you made with those alcohol inks....thank you Jennifer for everything you put out there so we can learn these technique...now I'm off to your site to see the close-up.....well done and tfs

[@anne-mettelarsen7659]

Gourgeus Jennifer!!! Thank you for doing such amazing videos!!!

[@Snippets-of-Mendi]

Be still my heart... You're making me want to drop everything to pull out my neglected alcohol inks. They are all so stunning, but that blue and turquoise Oh Holy Night makes my heart sing. So pretty!

[@sayrcindy]

I’ve watched so many you tube videos so Pinterest ideas and videos as a crafter of many years I must say I definitely feel your video is by far the best I’ve ever come across so to the point and so many ideas in on video in a short amount of time. I went ahead and ordered a whole set of alcohol inks from Tim Holtz Alcohol blending solution , and stamp pad, yupo paper , I mean a bunch of stuff. You have inspired me so much to try these I can’t wait I will be subscribing just adore you. Wow! I’ve got some great ideas 💡 now of my own can’t wait to see more of your videos. I found my go to girl.... stay bless....

[@jonyelle1]

[@foggylogic]

I’ve used these a few times with fab results, but never thought about using a straw - what a great idea, thank you! ☺️

[@TrenaBrannon]

Awesome tips! Thank you sister! Take care and STAY POSITIVE!!

[@lesliev7874]

KW background card is stunning.

[@christinepatch2654]

Thank you Jennifer - an excellent video as usual. I do use alcohol inks but I haven’t used them on yupo paper which I must now investigate. I love how well the inks move. I would love to see more advanced videos when you have the tie. Xxx

[@susangreen9308]

Everyone of your backgrounds are soooo beautiful!!!!

[@theresehudran7635]

You are great, creative and so sweet. And never say thank you to us for watching a long video, I can watch you create 24-7. Thank you for sharing with us. Therese

Awesome! I use my alcohol inks every now and then. You've inspired me to play some more with them. Have a fabulous Friday!

[@donnatriffitt4463]

You should have a LOVE button and not just a like.. These are fantastic and I think I know what this set of Christmas cards will be this years.. Thank you heaps for your hard work and inspiration x

[@suedunlop3040]

Just watching this video again and getting inspired all over again. Wonderful 😊

[@SybilB]

Each card is so gorgeous!

[@lynndekock2077]

Your videos always cost me so much money! Cannot wait to produce ink backgrounds plus get these dies and stamps. Your cards are sooo beautiful! I also love that you make so many "different" examples. ❤️

[@marymakinen3120]

These look like fun. Beautiful.

[@suebouch4074]

Thanks for sharing your creativity with us... I was recently playing with my alcohol inks with my elderly Mom who has Parkinson's and this medium doesn't need steady hands so it was perfect for us. I've watched several videos about alcohol inks but hadn't seen or didn't remember the idea of using a brush to add the blending solution and move the inks around. A BIG thank you for that tip as I love the marbled look it achieves. Have a great day! 😃

[@susanrn1188]

These are all gorgeous! Thought I had a favorite but I can't possibly. Thanks for sharing!

[@created2bless322]

Watched this one a few times, it's so cool to see how the inks float and marry and look marbleized and gem like! Like a Geo ! God bless

[@katherynbeaver4607]

Beautiful cards. I see the blue fa la la card done with eclipse technique. Yummy.

[@surekhagalagoda4047]

Dear Jennifer Tks a bunch. I am going to try it with acrylic paints as I don't hv alcohol inks.tc stay safe

[@dianamarina6960]

Amazing Jennifer. I'm from Portugal and I'm your fan. Your cards are always incredible. Thanks for your ideas and fun works.🌺❤️

[@lindadavis8734]

Thanks sooo much, Jennifer! What a super idea!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@snookers8687]

Wow! So gorgeous! I'm gonna dig out my alcohol inks and have some fun! Thanks for the inspiration..

[@nancyward4090]

These cards are just stunning! I think I need to try this!

[@CathyMManess]

These cards are amazing!! You are so talented! Thank you for sharing, you inspire me!

[@seabent]

This technique is so cool, and it goes along with the marble trend that's been super popular lately. I love how the more you work with the ink, the more it looks like actual marble! I'm obsessed with it. I, too, would frame that beautiful rainbow piece :)

[@luraa5578]

Jennifer you are such a miracle worker. I call you the Scheherazade of Stamping because you just never run out of amazing ideas and always have a cool way of presenting new products. No exception here - they are all just gorgeous. Wish I was on your Christmas card list. =^..^=

[@lauralester7176]

Excellent explanation. Right to the point , thank you for sharing.

[@inanelson2140]

Stunning. Think I'll give my inks a run. Love the dies too.

[@maggiebaxter610]

Hi Jennifer ~ These cards are all stunning but I especially love the cards done with the 6x6 background stamp that Kristina so beautifully designed. The results are all gorgeous and when the weekend arrives I'm definitely going to dust off my alcohol inks and play a bit. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a fabulous weekend. ~HUGS~ #kindnessmatters

[@louannadams532]

Beautiful examples!! Thank you Jennifer!!

[@mariehoney31]

Oh, these are so beautiful! I never did jump on the alcohol ink "bandwagon," but this sure has me tempted!
