Which Ink & Paper for Copics and Stampin' Blends? Ink & Paper Combinations for Alcohol Ink Markers

Which Ink & Paper for Copics and Stampin' Blends? Which Inks WILL NOT WORK? Ink & Paper Combinations for 5 inks and 3 papers/card stock. Does your ink bleed when using alcohol ink markers? I will show you how to prevent that from happening by choosing the right paper and ink for your coloring.

I created a short video that shows you my coloring on Stampin' Up! Whisper White, Neenah, and Accent Card stock. I used 5 different inks. Stampin' Up! Classic Stampin' Pad, Memento Tuxedo Black, Staz On, Versafine, and a printed Digital Image. Can you use Alcohol Ink Markers on Digital Images?

*Watch the video*

Question: Which paper and ink combination will you use?

Creating FLOWERS with Alcohol Ink Markers | Stampin' Blends

I think I've seriously become addicted to Alcohol Inks! I may have a problem and need a meeting sometime soon! haha

As much as I love playing with them, it's a struggle because Stampin' Up! doesn't carry Alcohol Inks. So how do we solve this problem? Well, we have to be creative!

For today's project, all you need is some Stampin' Blends, or any other brand of alcohol ink marker, some isopropyl alcohol, or blending solution, a blower tool or straw, and this tutorial! Let's create some gorgeous flowers!

With a little practice, you can be creating flowers like this in no time! This was my third attempt, and I made a card out of 2 of the attempts. It's actually not that hard at all.

I've created a VIDEO TUTORIAL for you so you can see how I do it

Question: Do you have Stampin' Blends or will you be trying this with another brand of marker?

Let me know in the comments below, I love hearing from you!

Also! PLEASE upload your flowers and/or cards made from watching this tutorial to my FACEBOOK GROUP, I would LOVE to see them!

Alternatively, you can tag me on Instagram, or post a link to your creation in the comments below 💗

Card Sketch #4

Loads of Love - Valentine's card

I just love the Ride With Me & The Gangs All Mere stamp sets, so I figured let's use them together!

Common! That little Meerkat popping his head up in the truck is just too adorable!!

My card sketches are always posted on my Facebook Page before they go live anywhere else on the internet. If you want to get a head start on them and see them first, request to join us here.

I started out with an A2 top folding card using Bermuda Bay 8 1/2 X 11 Cardstock and I turned it on its side for a different perspective.

I then embossed a mat of Whisper White 8 1/2 X 11 Cardstock which was 1/4" smaller than the card with the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder (All links to supplies are below) Then I used a Sponge Dauber to very lightly bring up the bricks in the background. I used a very light touch and just swiped back and forth until I achieved the desired look. You can adhere this down with any adhesive but I used some blue fun foam I found at Walmart (cut 1/4" smaller than the mat).

Then, I stamped the image twice on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Momento Ink as this is the best combination of paper and ink to use our Stampin' Blends markers with. The ink won't bleed! I stamped it twice as I wanted to cut the tires out and pop them up over the tires below to add some dimension. I listed the markers I used down below in the supplies.

Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies I cut out the hearts and trimmed them to the desired size and pieced them into the back of the truck. I used some Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up a few of the negative hearts to add dimension and visual interest. I also die-cut the word love out of a piece of Whisper White CS that I had used to test the color combo of the 3 green markers.

Why waste it right?!

I cut the background for the truck using the second largest rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies, then stamped the word "You" from the Well Said stamp set. I felt the need to add some dots to each scallop to close in the background using my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. Give this background a little dimension too by adding some Stampin' Dimensionals =)

Lastly, I used the same 3 green markers I used to color the truck and made a gradient strip on a scrap piece of Whisper White, then used the long die from the Stitched Be Mine set and cut it out twice. I trimmed the pieces then glued them together to make a wider strip.

Then I finished it off with some Whisper White Bakers Twine and some of the Twine out of the November Paper Pumpkin "Winter Gifts"

I hope you enjoy this card! Let me know if it inspires you, or what you thought of it in the comments below. I love hearing from you =)

Happy Stampin'!
