Which one is your favorite?

[@sallybischof4828]

Flower one, I have that folder.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

@sallybischof4828 it’s a great one!

[@sallysutherland7257]

The argye green. Beautiful!!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you!

[@lindaclayton9794]

All three. This is a keeper video

[@coolstamper]

WOW…I’m impressed. I’ve been stamping for 30+ years and I’ve never seen this technique with embossing folders and alcohol inks on aluminum foil. I LOVE IT!!! TYFS 💕🌸💕

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! I’m happy to be able to provide you with something new! 😊

[@jaypechman4014]

I think the purple pillow-like card was fantastic. I haven't used my alcohol inks in a while and now I'm super inspired to play with them again.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

That’s great! Have fun! 🤩

[@GayleRobinson-bu2vt]

I love alcohol inks. They're SO EASY to use!!! In my opinion, silhouette stamps and/or dies add a touch of elegance to any card design. Next time you use alcohol inks with embossing folders, create your ink design prior to embossing and see if you like it better! If you want a certain color of alcohol ink on a specific area (flower), add alcohol and/or the blending solution to the felt pad itself before "pouncing" on the design! All of your cards are beautiful but my favorite is the "encouragement" card. So elegant!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Great ideas! Thank you! ❤️

[@malkahbatyisrael290]

Wow, great techniques & impressive card results! Thank you for the ideas. ☺️

What a cool idea. Your cards are all just beautiful. But love the flower. So happy you and your family had to go thru that hurricane …and happy you were all ok. 💙🙏🏻💙

Thank you so much!🩷

Stunning!! This is a technique I am going to try!! It looks like one could have a lot of fun making these! Thank you for sharing!

Wendy, I love how you can take any everyday object and make beautiful cards.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you so much! 😊

What a great technique! Love the flower card. Good to know you’re safe❤

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Midnightcardstudio]

Good to hear you are safe. Can not decide on favourite card… 🤪 liked them all.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

😊 thank you!

[@mokrn]

I'm trying to decide if I want to dip my toe into alcohol inks. Tutorials like this have made me say "YES!" These are all lovely, Wendy, and the purple Happy Birthday is exceptional. So very glad you rode out Milton without major issues.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thanks so much! I’m not as savvy as some crafters with alcohol inks, but they are fun! I just expect the unexpected and I figure out how to make it work.

[@dianerollings3474]

They look so special. I forget about the alfoil. You have really inspired me. Thank you. 🎉❤

[@villagecardandcrafts]

I'm so glad! Give it a try and have fun! 😊

[@Madeline7276]

Another great idea and motivation to use MY alcohol inks! Are you visiting my craft room while I'm asleep? Your videos always address my issues!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Awww that makes my heart sing! If you have any other issues I may be able to address, send to me! Email, Facebook, etc. 😊

[@Mari-cre8s]

So glad to know that you and your family are safe. We are hearing that a number of areas are actually flooding more now that the storm has officially passed. Very scary. This was a fun technique and I loved not only the variety of examples but also seeing your process.. it is helpful! Hard choice, but I think I like the floral best… 🧑🏼‍🎨😀

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Yes, it’s true. There are many areas flooding even more. My friend’s mom lost her home it’s been a nightmare for them that began 3 hurricanes ago. It’s now a total loss after 3 floods. On a brighter note, I’m glad you found one you liked. 🩷

[@Mari-cre8s]

@@villagecardandcrafts oh I am so sad to hear that, indeed a nightmare….😢

[@lindaclayton9794]

I love this idea, they remind me of the old tin type celling tiles 👍

It does! I love them! ❤️

[@susansloan3007]

I like the one with the flowers, but the others are great too.

Many, kind thanks, Wendy, for some fabulous cards!! I will definitely try this out, as I will also have to 'dust off' my alcohol inks!! I very much appreciated seeing your finished products, as that encourages me that each creation doesn't have to be 'absolutely perfect' to satisfy our desires to 'be creative and enjoy the process'!! (Wonderful to hear you all safely 'weathered' the hurricane!!)

Fun video. My fave is the floral. Wondering which type of printer, ink and card stock you recommend to print your own sentiments. Thx.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! Well, I have a Cannon Megatank printer. I think I’ve never replaced the ink and I’ve had it 3 years. In fact, I’m getting close to having to order ink! Thanks for reminding me. As far as card…I use Recollections 65# cardstock which works fine in my Cannon’s main paper tray. Sadly it will only work with 28# thru the rear feeder. I do have issues with it connecting Bluetooth from time to time. If I could direct connect I doubt I’d have any issue at all.

[@lindasimas4834]

Really beat idea. Glad you are ok. We didn't get it as bad here in jacksonville but my brother basically lost everything in newport richey

Very pretty cards. I love the idea of using the aluminum foil that’s awesome. I am from central florida where are you from? Thanks for sharing.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! We live in The Villages. 😀

[@lu-ellenhafner4968]

Would it have worked if you coloured the embossing folder first?

[@villagecardandcrafts]

I believe the alcohol inks would stain the folders, so I didn't try.

[@yvonneduffy6812]

I would use alcohol markers as you can control where the ink goes

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Ok! Give it a try and have fun! 🩷

[@rowenabrady6279]

have you tried doing this with other liquids. acrylic paint maybe

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Not, I haven’t because acrylic paint is opaque and you would lose the shiney aspect of the foil.
