Alcohol inks and pearls

I've been asked multiple times to make videos of my alcohol ink cards. Seeing as I told myself I would try to make more videos this year, I made a video. It has four cards in it!

For the first card, I used Alcohol inks in Salmon and Peach Bellini, and Alccohol Pearl in Alchemy. The giraffe is from Reverse Confetti "Lift me up" and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up (discontinued). The Stitched Hillside Border dies are from Lawn Fawn.

For the second card, I used Inks in Aqua and Sailboat Blue, and Alcohol pearls in Tranquil. The birdie stamp is from My Favorite Things (Tweet Friends) and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up (discontinued).

For the third card, I used Alcohol ink in Indigo and alcohol pearls in Tranquil. The cute stamps are from Mama Elephant "Up and Away" and the cloud dies are from Memory Box. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up (discontinued).

The final card has alcohol inks in Salmon and Pink Sherbet, and alcohol pearls in Intrigue and Enchanted. The elephhant is from Mama Elephant "Fly with me" and the sentiment is from Avery Elle "So Happy".

 And here's the video! (I apologise in advance for the coughing)

Rainbow alcohol pearls with embossing

I made these cards after multiple blog comments, Instagram comments and emails asking if I had made a video showing how to make certain cards using alcohol pearls and alcohol inks. I decided I hadn't made a video in a while, so I did!

I used alcohol pearls in the colours Deception, Splendor, Alchemy, Sublime, Tranquil and Villainous. I stamped and white embossed over the alcohol pearls - I give some tips on embossing on vellum int the video.
 

For the first card, I used the Kind Soul stamp set from Wplus9, and a sentiment from Sketched Flowers from Simon Says Stamp. 

For the 2nd card, I used the large flower from Fantastic Flowers from Sweet n Sassy Stamps, and a sentiment from the same Simon Says Stamp set. 

For the third card, I didn't do any embossing on the Yupo, but I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts in Versafine Onyx Black onto a strip of vellum and embossed with clear embossing powder.

And here's the video!

Rainbow birthday on Yupo

My birthday card stash is woefully small and inadequate, so I'm trying to fix the problem.

I made an alcohol ink panel on Yupo, then added a sentiment with a die from Simon Says Stamp, and a stamp from Birch Press Designs.

And I made a video! (Shock horror!)

I'll be sharing this card at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge, where the theme is "something new".

Rainbow hexagons

Hi, everyone!  I have a one layer rainbow card to share with you today.

I used two stamp sets from Simon Says Stamp - "Perfect shapes" and "Big scripty greetings". I also used 12 different Hero Arts shadow inks - yes, twelve!

 And I also have a video to share with you today!

I will be sharing this card at "The Friday Mashup" (I went with the birthday theme, but no stencil),

Hero Arts Blog Hop

Welcome to the Hero Arts Blog Hop!

The design team at A Blog Named Hero have teamed up with the design team from Hero Arts to bring you this blog hop, full of holiday crafty inspiration!
I hope you have arrived from Suzanne Dahlberg's very awesome blog, Freshly Noted. 
For my card today, I used some of my favourites from this year's Hero Arts holiday catalogue - the "Holly Jolly" stamp set, and the "Merry Stamp and Cut" set, along with the Lime to Forever Green Ombre Ink, and Red Royal shadow ink.

I've also got a video to share with you today:

Now, I couldn't leave it there - I had to make another card, using the same two stamp sets, and the same two dies! I added some American Crafts gold glitter paper this time, and a bunch of Hero Hues dots from my stash (but Hero Arts colored gems in red would also look fabulous!)

Your next step on the hop is Bhavana Kesarkar  - I'm sure she has something lovely to share with you! Here's the entire hop list, too:
