I love how adding the extra details takes a rather boring piece and adds so much interest and makes it amazing! You are always coming up with such creative ideas!
I always learn so much from your videos. I see why everyone says you are the best teacher. I am new to card making and, because of health issues and back pain, I don’t get to craft very often. I have always given cards to people and I think this new craft to me is special. I just wish I was more creative; but, thanks to wonderful artists like you I get the inspiration I need. Thank you for all your hard work. This lady thinks you are extremely special!!!
Jennifer you are a scientist in paper crafting...You really do a lot of research and are so organized that you are the model for the rest of us. I mean I don't know how you do it all but some how you do...thank you from all of us who need you to come to for all this information and techniques....thank you we are blessed to have you...another great outstanding tutorial on techniques and tips and tricks....so full of knowledge.....................thanks for sharing it with all of us...........pat
Jennifer, thanks again for another great video. Beautiful cards! You always seem to say, "Thanks for spending time with me." Well, thank you for giving us a peek into your creativity and sharing your art and techniques with us!
Loved the video! Not only did I learn new techniques for moving alcohol ink around, but lots of card ideas as well. My favorite are the rainbow cards. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and showing me a new company for great stamps and dies. 😃
Jennifer, I watch every video you make and just am amazed at the techniques you do & the beautiful cards you make. Also, you show us how to make more than 1 card from a project. You are all inspiring! I need all the inspiration & help I can get, so you are top on my list of 'go to' so I can get that inspiration. Our 7 yr old granddaughter loves to make cards, & she loves new techniques! Thank you from both of us! Keep up all the amazing work & thank you for always sharing! :)
Love alcohol inks! So many ways to make backgrounds with them. Love your card, you did a super job on them. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week.
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. I really look forward to your videos. Not only are they amazing, but you inspire me to try new things and give me wonderful ideas.
You have totally knocked it out of the park with these cards Jennifer!! You've got me thinking differently about some of my alcohol-inked backgrounds, especially the ones that I didn't care for as a whole. Die cutting bits and pieces just makes total sense and when they're all together you absolutely get that WOW (!!!) factor. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope your Easter weekend is filled with many blessings. ~HUGS~ #kindnessmatters
All of these cards are wonderful. Love the colors and the textures. And I agree, the last two were so fun. Thanks so sharing this technique. I too am happy you brought this back. Happy to use my alcohol inks again.
Always amazing, Jennifer! I remember when I first did alcohol inks, years ago, the designs then were like marbled rocks. LOL! The art has come a long way since then. Beautiful cards, each and everyone. BTW, I did use alcohol inks on white plastic Easter eggs and they turned out stunningly beautiful! Thanks, Jennifer!
I have also started playing with alcohol inks because I have been so inspired by your alcohol ink videos. Bought a bunch of colours and absolutely LOVE them! It is so exciting to try and new (to me) medium and just have fun with them. I even sprinkled them with salt (like I do for watercolours) which gave an interesting texture. Fun, fun, fun - and thank you so much for sharing your ideas and how you turn even small scraps into brilliant cards :-) You are such a blessing in my life Jennifer!
Thank you! Love the toothpick and fine brush techniques. Soooo pretty and fluid looking. Will be trying these very soon. Great inlay concepts too! As always, you rock these cards!
You are so amazing!! I have been playing with alcohol inks because of you, and now you bring another dimension to the idea. You never fail to amaze me!
Always beautiful! I see you are doing this technique on the Tim Holtz Glass Mat - don't you just love it? I sure do! Paint, ink, marker, just wipe right off. I love your videos!
Thank you for making and sharing the video! Love looking at your color swatch books, and thank you for the reminder that we don't necessarily need every color available (though full set syndrome will probably hit once I start getting something). I love watching your videos for an inspiration of what we can make.
Hello Jennifer 💕 I truly believe that these cards are some of the most beautiful backgrounds I've seen to this date. Not all just backgrounds some of the ones like the rays and the dies that look like ribbons have been cut out are positively beautiful. It gives me inspiration! However, I own very few dies I can easily use my trimmer to accomplish some of them until I decide whether to buy more or not. Thanks for all you do and sharing your crafting wisdom with other crafters❤❤❤
Beautiful cards! I have several cover plate dies and now I am really excited to try this out. I love your ideas for adding little drops of the gold mixative.
So glad you made this video! I actually created a bunch of inked backgrounds recently and loved it, but was looking at a couple of the backgrounds I wasn't crazy about & didn't realize I could play with them some more even though they were dried! I also didn't think to use cover dies with them & I think they look fantatstic! Thanks for all the tips!!
When I add the metallic I add one drop at a time and blow around the ONE drop before adding the next....you get way better motion with the metallics that way. Love your videos!
Jennifer, these are so amazing! I loved the diagonal strips so much. As always I look forward to your videos for the inspiration & aesthetics. Thank you so much!
So excited to see another video on this, my birthday alcohol inks will be here today and I can try this out along with the other videos you have posted.
Awesome cards. Has it really been twenty years when the were first released? I'm really going to have to get a few more colors and the blending solution. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Hope you and your family have a happy Easter.
COOL! I made alcohol swatches the same way! I made them in the sets they came in and as individual colors. Also, thanks for the video! Love the work on alcohol inks.
Hey Jennifer....I'm new to alcohol inks so I appreciate this tutorial very much! As always, stunning cards too. Thanks for sharing and Happy Easter to you and your family!
Your alcohol ink examples are all SO amazing! I’ve been enjoying working with AI, but haven’t used brushes yet. QUESTION: how do you clean yours, just by dipping in rubbing alcohol or blending solution? Thanks for always sharing your wonderful techniques; I could (and do) watch your videos for hours!😊. Wishing you and your family a happy and blessed Easter.
OH JENNIFER, ALL THE CARDS ARE FANTASTIC. WHENEVER YOU WORK WITH ALCOHOL INKS I CAN ALMOST HEAR A VOICE IN MY HEAD SAYING "FORGET ABOUT LIGHTING THAT WITH FIRE". I HAVE LONG SINCE GIVEN UP THE IDEA OF ALCOHOL INK AND FIRE. IF MY BROKEN WRIST EVER HEALS I PROMISE "SAFETY FIRST". I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CRAFT WITH ONE HAND AND AM GOING CRAZY. I THINK I COULD WORK ON MY SWATCH BOOKS AS I HAVE PROCRASTINATED ABOUT THAT FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I LOVE THE SPECTRUM NOIR GLITTER PENS BUT HAVE NOTICED THE COLOR ON THE PEN IS QUITE OFTEN VERY OFF. AT LEAST I WOULD STOP THINKING ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO CRAFT. GIVE LILA BIG HUGS FROM ME AND I WISH LILA AND ALL YOUR FAMILY A LOVELY EASTER!
+Jennifer McGuire Ink ....Hi Jennifer! ☺ These cards are so beautiful!! And thank you for sharing all these tips and techniques too!!! Those Sugar Pea Designs stamps and card front dies are amazing! Thanks again for sharing!! ☺
Oh THOSE ARE AMAZING!! I wonder if alcohol inks will float on water? Is it possible to decorate Easter Eggs this way?? Hmm 🤔 Thanks for your ALL-inspiring creativity!! ❤️
Great video Jen!! Love all you’ve been doing with these alcohol inks. I’m glad to see you were spraying plain alcohol and not the blending solution. Tim says the blending solution has resins which are harmful when sprayed. Is there any way you could add this warning so ppl make sure not to use the blending solution in a spray? I know not everyone reads the tiny warning on the bottle. It says vapor is harmful. Just in case :)
Jennifer I’m new to your videos and am not a card maker but decided I wanted to create a stash to have on hand to send out. Do you ever put sentiments in the inside?

Absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful cards! Tfs.
This is off the charts amazing!!! Love it!!!
Awesome as usual Jennifer!!
Awesome information Jennifer! Thank you so much!
Jennifer, it’s not as controllable, but regular YUPO paper does a gorgeous job.
Your alcohol ink examples are all SO amazing! I’ve been enjoying working with AI, but haven’t used brushes yet.

Great techniques and ideas Jennifer. Thank you. Deb x
Awesome thank you jennifer
Beautiful cards! I thought it was necessary to use Staz On ink when stamping onto alcohol inks! I always learn something when watching your videos 😊😊
The red was my favourite! ;)
Awesome always! Thank you.
OH JENNIFER, ALL THE CARDS ARE FANTASTIC. WHENEVER YOU WORK WITH ALCOHOL INKS I CAN ALMOST HEAR A VOICE IN MY HEAD SAYING "FORGET ABOUT LIGHTING THAT WITH FIRE".

Oh THOSE ARE AMAZING!! I wonder if alcohol inks will float on water? Is it possible to decorate Easter Eggs this way?? Hmm 🤔
Thanks for your ALL-inspiring creativity!! ❤️
Love, Love, Love!!!
Beautiful!
Hi Jennifer! Would it be possible for you to share again your video on sizes and how you have your cardstocks cut? I forgot to take notes 😢
Love the pink
Love you completely! ♡
Great video! What percentage of rubbing alcohol is best to use? I know it comes in different percentages.
Lovely! Do you NEED to have the blending solution, or will having plain rubbing alcohol be enough?
This is so cool!!
Please consider also adding the fingernail polish brand and color you wear in each video.
Would hydrogen peroxide work the same as rubbing alcohol or no? Just thinking of what supplies I already have
Is there a difference between Tim Holtz Ranger alcohol inks and Tim Holtz Adirondack alcohol inks? Thanks.
Great video Jen!! Love all you’ve been doing with these alcohol inks. I’m glad to see you were spraying plain alcohol and not the blending solution. Tim says the blending solution has resins which are harmful when sprayed. Is there any way you could add this warning so ppl make sure not to use the blending solution in a spray? I know not everyone reads the tiny warning on the bottle. It says vapor is harmful. Just in case :)
i think i do mention a few times in the video?
Oops you did! I wasn’t paying attention. Thank you
Have you used DuPont tyvek paper with alcohol ink? It is more economical and I was wondering how it compares to yupo.
It is beautiful!!!💖😘
Love your cards! You make it look so easy! How long does it take to do those backgrounds?
Jennifer I’m new to your videos and am not a card maker but decided I wanted to create a stash to have on hand to send out. Do you ever put sentiments in the inside?
yes!!!
I really like your cards and I want to visit you 😍😘👑🎀💗💝
