NEW Alcohol Ink Press Technique!

[@elizabethhair9017]

the 'Wishing we lived closer' one makes me think of West Side Story, a favourite musical

[@lindalewis1711]

Love those looks. They look like the Northern Light skies. So cool.

[@cindymajdecki9028]

That's what I was thinking too!👍

[@nicolamaynard9969]

I love playing with alcohol inks, there's just so much great looks you can get.

[@gwen-m8r]

Adding two background layers to create a shadow...Brilliant! Just tried this with a sentiment and it came out great!

[@lindawood8764]

Never thought of using two shadows, one up and the other down. Perfect thank you!

[@tammihaas4299]

Kelly Letavola-Taylor re-lit my love for alcohol inks then my inner Jennifer kicked in and I smooshed, such pretty backgrounds! I pressed and wiggled and wow! I also added foil and that really made the pearls pop! Thank you for the accidental collaboration.

[@janmarch5039]

CAN NOT WAIT to try this…I have two dies that will be perfect for this technique, one is a Nativity scene that I think will be so wonderful with that night sky look, the other is a scrambled Happy birthday die that makes a square card , I am going to try a glitter or metallic paper for the overlay. This could easily be addictive. Thanks Jennifer, sorry you and your daughter have been sick, will send some prayers your way!

[@bharathysekar8814]

Very unique cards using Alcohol Ink. I love this .Thanks for this video.

[@lynellevanboening9078]

beautiful backgrounds is the only words I came up with. I love using alcohol inks, the are so forgiving. I even use inexpensive photo paper that works great. Thanks for using these inks again and for sharing this 2 for one technique.

[@nurseratchet8566]

Absolutely beautiful technique and cards💖💖💖

[@AnnHG24]

Tried this technique today and it was fun and forgiving. Don't love it-add something and smoosh again. Thanks so much!

[@christineb6524]

I really really like all these beautiful cards. Ur creativity is just on another level. Thanx for the inspiration ✌🏽

[@ldnurse79]

The grey streaks totally remind me of the Aurora Borealis! So pretty.

[@pennypynnonen1154]

My afternoon is open for crafting and I absolutely LOVE alcohol inks...I will set up a special table and get right to it! Perfect timing. These are great designs and cards.

[@tkram97]

“I don’t have any white scrap cardstock left”. This statement confuses me!!!!! I swear I have scraps for days! 🙂. Absolutely love these ideas!!!! Great job Jennifer!

[@PaperToPetals]

Ooooo Jennifer this technic is awesome. I can see how addictive this is!

[@pconan1]

How beautiful! The ink background really looks like the aurora borealis! You are the most creative lady! Holy moly! Merry Christmas, & happy holidays.

[@marciataylor4077]

Those lovely streaks in the ink remind me of dendritic prints.

[@olivia8979]

I have recently picked up alcohol inks and have been binging on your videos! So I was excited to see a new Alcohol ink video from you.

[@judypeach5672]

Wow! Such lovely backgrounds. Thanks for the video!

[@patcyzauskas7216]

Black Friday I bought 4 pkg of 8x10 Yupo 25 sheets/pkg at JoAnn’s for half price. Have been busy making Xmas cards but can hardly wait to play with my alcohol ink backgrounds. I used to do this technique on glossy paper with a product called Luna Lights back about 2001. Hadn’t thought of this with alcohol inks. These backgrounds will be fantastic with the new Tim Holtz/Simon Says Stamp Santa’s sleigh die I got on Black Friday as well. Thanks for this video. Hope you and your family have a great holiday season!!

[@catcar8212]

Wow, these are fantastic backgrounds. I've never used alcohol inks. Thanks for showing they're not finished until you love them!🌷🌷

[@aquinyc]

Amazing backgrounds!! Those cards are so pretty! Laura

[@corinne1691]

The first cards were so amazing and then you pulled out the black city silhouettes and WOW! The black looks even more amazing against those amazing sky alcohol ink prints. Stunning.

[@lindamaclaren1866]

Okay, had the stuff so had to try right away. Note that I am neither expert nor particularly talented, so my comments should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt. First, I left the sandwich together for at least 5 minutes and got much better results. Second, hated the puffer tool...I really wanted those striations. Waved a full size sheet of cardstock about a foot from the yupo, and I was very pleased with the results. Jennifer has taught me to play and not be too hard on myself. I love her videos!

[@kathyhutchinson3058]

Gosh so beautiful, I have the alcohol lift but I have never used it. Tomorrow I think I will have to have a play.

[@janetsinnott737]

These look so beautiful.

[@nicollevisser8141]

Every time I see art made with alcohol ink, I want to try it. I didn't saw this smoosh effect earlier so thanks for a great video again!

[@gloriabrese8197]

Wishing you lived closer is perfect for my daughter who lives a four hour drive away ! The card is spectacular ! Keep on crafting' Jennifer. 🙋 Nana in se OK usa

[@angb1923]

I am so amazed! So pretty. You are so clever!! Thank you for sharing.

[@junebovenzi]

I love, love, love alcohol inks! I never thought about smooshing the papers together, that’s brilliant! (I love your manicure!)

[@caronmackenzie2904]

Your manicure is gorgeous!

[@rhondaclore393]

This was amazing!! I could see the "Northern Lights" in many of the backgrounds. Thank you for sharing this technique.

[@darvadeemac3515]

Awesome. Love using alcohol inks. These are absolutely beautiful. Hugs 🤗 from North Carolina

[@grannieannie40]

The ink blending on the pink & purple one looks like the Northern Lights.

[@lizwheeler6204]

Love, love, love! You are so creative. Thank you for sharing.

[@sheriyamauchi2856]

Beautiful backgrounds! I have to try this!

[@megbreiter6314]

Jennifer...I love this technique...I was playing along with you....so beautiful ❣️💜🌹 thank you so much for sharing your talents 💕💖❣️

[@deborahsanders8564]

Jennifer, you amaze me! You consistently introduce the most incredible techniques. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

WOW! Fantastic cards . Love how you did the backgrounds. Thank you.

[@brooklynmidnightcrafter]

Hero Arts has great city scenes. Your ‘sky’ views are so pretty!

[@stephanieloughead4479]

Beautiful cards.

[@bronwyn117]

Your creativity just amazes me…..who would think to smoosh 2 pieces together? Such beautiful results! I think you were reading my mind…I just watched Tim’s videos about the pearl inks and the alloy inks last night and ordered them. It’s been awhile since I played with alcohol ink and you both have inspired me!

[@megandecker223]

you can do this smooshing with nuvo drops too - but it's thicker and doesn't move as much - and it leaves bumps - but actually really pretty look - i like to die cut them. now i'll have to try my alcohol inks!!

[@dking1362]

Interesting idea, Megan. Thanks for sharing!

[@elizabeththomas8657]

Fun technique! Can’t wait to try it!

[@Hisuihana]

This is cool! It's like dendritic printing.

[@dorenedean7847]

Well, now I need to dig out my alcohol inks! Can’t wait to try this.

[@beckyshinlever5142]

I love this technique it looks great.

[@annehedlund7333]

Great technique, I even have all the stuff to try this! Since I am usually not happy with my alcohol ink results, this might fix what I don't like. Twisting the lift-off looks cool.

[@debbiewilliams155]

Absolutely beautiful. I love these cards. I'll have to try the alcohol inks for backgrounds.

[@barbarahill6365]

It reminds me of aurora borealis! A look we try to emulate with much work, this is stunning..

[@lynnel.1083]

Looks like fun! Cant wait to try this technique. Thank you!

[@amberdawnhanke7903]

Those backgrounds are so amazing. I really can't wait to try the alcohol inks in time.

[@suewierzbicki1500]

I Love both techniques but I like the one with the felt pouncing the best. I got some really nice results trying it this way. Thanks for showing us!

[@ninascraftflorievega3592]

Jeniffer, your tutorials are so beautiful that I never would miss any because you always have that patient to go step by step and explain so clearly and how you turn your tutorials in whatever theme you choose into cards that are so beautiful. I love your tutorials and never get bored watching them. I really appreciate your projects, thank you so much and wish that you and your family have a wonderful holidays. God Bless your talent.

[@bikergirl2006]

Absolutely stunning! I think some of my favorite cards of yours!! Darn it- I wasn't supposed to buy anything for myself this month but you can't beat the value of Hero Arts kits and I need more alocohol inks too! You have truly inspired me!!!

[@wendybond2848]

Stunning!

[@kelliescraftythumb]

Yeah i was going to say that with the alloys it looks like Aurora Borealis. So pretty. And the with the shadow die cut, it gives you your dimension too.

[@pmynatt11]

Jennifer, I am going to have to buy the pearls ink and try this technique. You always knock it out of the park.

[@debchambers8563]

I love these cards Jennifer! I signed up for the Hero Arts MMH because of you. I love it!

[@jennifermcguireink]

Enjoy!

You are so welcome!

[@sandyvisger9256]

Nice idea, I haven't used my alcohol inks in awhile. THANKS for the reminder.

[@jennifermcguireink]

You are so welcome

[@kimcrawford9988]

Love this Jennifer! I have loads of alcohol inks but need to add in the Pearl & Alloy as I have none. Thank you so much for another great tutorial. :)

[@lynettecarter5956]

Brilliant and beautiful 😍

[@743linda]

Love this for sky backgrounds! I will have to try! Thank you❤️

[@jennifermcguireink]

It does!

[@moirahansen1955]

Fantastic results Jennifer.👏😊💕

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@debbywilson1]

Hi Jennifer. You do love playing with alcohol ink, but so do I. I usually get carried away with the alloys. Lol

[@expressivepaper]

Beautiful Jennifer. Going to try that lift ink.

[@jennifermcguireink]

Have fun!

[@Cards4Cancer]

I can't wait to get home and smoosh ink.

[@lisaobrien8060]

Using the foiling technique on them would be pretty also

[@kathys7325]

Awesome cards!! Love the Northern Lights look 😍 Shared

[@jennifermcguireink]

Awesome thank you!

[@dkwhite9930]

Always love watching your techniques but as I was watching I had an idea. After you put the two sheets together instead of lifting straight off how about giving it a twist and then removing it 😍 may give a really cool effect! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@jennifermcguireink]

It definitely would!

[@jobillups]

Wonderful techniques and cards as always, but I really wanted to tell you your nails look fabulous! Merry Christmas to you and yours -

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thank you! You too!

[@lindaball403]

I love these! Going ro try right now! Thank you so much!

[@jennifermcguireink]

Hope you enjoy!
