Thanks to those of you who have reminded me not to spritz blending solution due to the resins/sealers in it. My spritzer has alcohol in it, but I mis-spoke in the video. Safety first!
I have been tempted to get into alcohol inks, but haven't for several reasons. I've done this effects using markers and water on top of a zip lock bag. I have gotten some spray inks that have been fun to. Loved all your final out comes. My big issue is that I can't decide what colors to get to start with too... Thanks for sharing. I'm still tempted. Have a great day.
@@lauramartin7300 I wonder if you have a friend or a store nearby where you could try them out. Then you could see if you like them before you buy (although they're not terribly expensive - I would suggest 3 primary colours that you like. You can try slick photo paper which is cheaper than Yupo). But I do think that if you're happy with the effects you're getting with other methods, it's ok not to buy them - I'm all about getting the look of an inspiration with what you already have! Thanks so much for watching!
Amazing results with just three colors, vibrant to subtle colors through the different techniques, you find such creative and stunning ways to use what you create
TYSM, Ardyth! Again, another video that INSPIRES me so much! :) You never disappoint and encourage all of us to PLAY with our supplies! I just bought my salad spinner last week and have been enjoying using it with liquid watercolours! I loved all of your cards! Your layouts and ideas gave me new ideas of how to use some of my backgrounds in my card making. :D
I have experimented a little with alcohol inks. Have never been overly happy with the results. These are wonderful! Especially love the butterfly card!! Thanks for sharing.
That is a very helpful comment - I also sometimes struggle with ideas for cards with the backgrounds I've made so it's nice to know you found it helpful. Thanks so much for watching!
This was a fun video. I am amazed at the beautiful results you got. There were a couple you made that were so strikingly beautiful, I was like “Stop there!”. But, you pulled it off without ruining the beauty. I can’t wait to play with my inks again and try some new ideas.
Hi, Ardyth, thanks for your video. A friend and I recently tried the salad spinner technique, for me, it took some practice! My spinner has a ‘peak’ in the centre which changed things up. Eventually, we got some lovely backgrounds; especially when we added in some metallic mix actives. I also wanted to say I LOVE 💕 the butterfly and initial flower cards. I particularly liked the embossed flowers after you had just added the first two colours. Finally, I didn’t think I really liked the acetate background; however, when you turned it into the cut out, stained flower window, WOW! It goes to show, even if you don’t really like something KEEP GOING! Once a card, it can look totally different, and gorgeous! I love your videos. 🌸💐🌻🌺🦋🐨🦘
I get what you're saying - I want to try different colours, and more inks and/or alcohol to see how much I can 'control' the look I get with the spinner. And yes, adding metallics would be gorgeous! Thanks so much for your kind words and for watching!
I love all the ways you made backgrounds/cards but I thought the salad spinner was so cool. I will have to try that one. Thank you so much for your great ideas. :)
Wow these cool techniques resulted in some gorgeous cards! You always make such impressive cards. Guess who is going to raid the kitchen for a salad spinner? I love that technique - it gives such kinetic energy to the color! I would never have thought of using it as a tool. Thanks for sharing! 👍💖
When using the embossing folders. Maybe try and take a sanding block to gently rub the top so the embossed image shows more. I think Jennifer McGuire did that in one of her video on embossing folders and distress inks. Great video! Love the experimenting!
How fun and beautiful, must give these a try.. I saw that you did a 5,000 subscriber video hop earlier last year with Jillian Vance Designs, I met her and her mom at a stamp show in August in Buffalo. What a trooper she is, just like you. Jillian started stamping at a very young age, her product line is now huge with many dies and stamps. Just thought I’d tell ya this. Can’t wait to try these techniques. Tfs.
Perfect timing for this. I just decided to dig out my alcohol inks and give them another try. I really like the last one with the window. I have a salad spinner I used for yarn. I will try the ink in it.
@@ardyth when I make small projects like socks or hats, I spin dry them before blocking. They dry faster. I don't like rolling them in a towel like bigger projects.
That was fun to watch! When you are taking a print on your gel plate, a clean brayer or the tool you used when stamping would likely give a stronger print than rubbing with your hand. The salad spinner is a great idea!
I love this! I've been thinking about trying alcohol ink but didn't know what colors to get. I think the RYB is a good place to start. Thank you for the inspiration!
You may not have gotten the results you thought your would, but they were very attractive as card fronts. Recently i asked a few friends to give me their favorite 4 colors in order, thinking I'd make some things for them featuring those (watercolors, doodles, etc. Your video has given me some more ideas. TYFS.
Wow! These are gorgeous! I love your style and I'm learning so much. I'm a subbie and I've been telling friends about your channel. I was late to the party but I'm making up for lost time with you. I'm working towards having my own channel too and I'm learning to not be too fixated on getting a particular design and really enjoy creating. Thank you for giving so much enjoyment to others with your videos. I really appreciate you. Have a brilliant week. X
These are just lovely. I particularly like the first 3 cards and that stain glass card it was just marvelous. Thank you Ardyth again for sharing your talent and creativity with us.
Thank you, Ardyth for a detailed explanation to help me better understand. I have never used my alcohol inks. I don't know the difference between the isopropyl alcohol and the blending solution in terms of using them to spread the ink. It looks like they do the same job. I love the salad spinner cards. And the last one you made is my favourite. 💖🇨🇦🥰
Alcohol and blending solution do a similar job, but they are made up of different ingredients, and they work differently with different inks. Thanks so much for watching!
Great video, lots of techniques to try with alcohol inks, I have to pull the. Out snd show them some love! While I was watching my mind was busy thinking in the background...do I have bubble wrap, oh I have that stamp...as so on! 🙌
I started this video thinking I'd be safe from temptation because I've decided I don't so alcohol inks, but by the end I was thinking maybe I could just buy 3 basic colors...! :D I loved the stained glass effect. I will probably buy a paper pad that was created by alcohol ink artists instead, at least to test whether they work well with my style. BTW I got heart shaped bubble wrap in a package from Hong Kong - the actual bubbles were heart shaped! I saved that to use with inks sometime :)
LOL! Alcohol inks are not my primary go-to technique, but they really are very fun. I only have a few. Heart shaped bubble wrap sounds AMAZING! I'm sure you will create something beautiful with it! Thanks for watching!
Loved these cards and techniques! I really love the flower that looked like stained glass. I have been wanting a salad spinner for some time. If I buy one now and use it to craft my husband would freak out. LOL Maybe I can come up with something similar. TFS
Well done Ardyth. Great to see that you gave it a try and even bought a salad spinner! The black paper gives it a beautiful contrast! Do the stencils stain? I don’t want to ruin them 😅 Also stamping with only the alcohol is something I wouldn’t try with my stamps. Maybe only with a rubber stamp, but not with a clear stamp? I loved to see the video. Bye, see you next time.
Alcohol inks can stain the stencils, but if you wipe them with alcohol, it seems to come up. Not sure about the long-term effects of the alcohol on my stamps, but I did clean it well, so fingers crossed! Thanks for watching!
Ranger makes a blending solution specifically for Alcohol Inks. It is almost interchangeable with alcohol, but has some different properties. Thanks so much for watching!
Try diluting the alcohol inks 50/50 with 90% alcohol in a small bottle with needle nose delivery. Easier to blend the colors with the air device. Great video. Thanks.
No brand name, just searched 'white board eraser' on Amazon. Very inexpensive and you can probably find something similar in a dollar store. Thanks so much for watching!
Once again you've made some beautiful cards using many cool techniques! I would love to craft with you! Now I wish I wouldn't have given away my salad spinner. 😂
Wow, great ideas and stunning results. I really loved the results of the spinning, taking me back to my childhood. Time to take out the alcohol inks again. Question: what glue did you use for the window/see through card where the flower die cut is glued onto the acetate? Thank you for so much inspiration!!
I used Bearly Arts liquid glue. If you look REALLY closely, you can see the outlines of where the glue is, but it definitely dried clear, so it looks really good! Thanks so much for watching!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I've recently bought a heap of A/Inks half price at a closing sale & have a had a few experiments. Thanks for the insights. Need a salad spinner now though 😂 that looks mighty fun Love from Queensland 🇦🇺
Absolutely brilliant 👏.....I shall keep this video for reference as I tend to forget a lot at my age 🤭....tell me the salad spinner (my fave) do you need to do it outside I don't want alcohol spinning over my kitchen well not that sort anyway 😀.....thanks so much....Jane North Wales UK..
I spun in my craft room, and the closed spinner kept all the alcohol inside, but definitely go outside if you think that it's risky. Thanks so much for watching!
Amazing cards. I think I heard you say “spritz with blending solution”? Blending solution should never be put in a spray bottle as it’s dangerous to inhale given the binding agent. Alcohol sprays are fine. Just thought as I’d mention for safety.
Ok, no kidding - the salad spinner card is without a doubt my favorite! Of all the crazy ideas! I honestly can't believe someone even THOUGHT of the idea let alone try it! For your try with the bubble wrap, here's a question/thought. When I get bubble wrap, my kids are the first ones to get ahold of it so they can pop the bubbles. IF my kids aren't around and I'm able to "hide" the bubble wrap from them, I can't help but pop the bubbles myself. There is something "gratifying" (?) about popping those bubbles (lol)! Perhaps your bubble wrap had "popped" bubbles? If so, "full" bubbles MIGHT work better. IF the bubbles weren't popped, picking up the ink with latex paint could be the key factor. I agree, the embossing didn't show with the inks but I really thought the embossed paper looked GREAT after you had die cut it into flower shapes. It added a whole new element to paper flowers. I like those MUCH better than plain inked flowers (just my personal opinion). I LOVE playing with alcohol inks. I've not tried your ideas so those will be my next "challenge! TFS
Haha! Not sure who thought of it originally, but it sure is fun! My bubble wrap was definitely the kind where the bubbles were sandwiched and not really exposed. Just opened a package with 'proper' bubble wrap in it and I can't wait to give it a try! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and for watching!
If you have some scraps, you could put those on the outside bowl of the salad spinner to see what the splatter does when to them. That allows you to have the main card designed and then also some extras so you get more use out of the alcohol inks. You might have to tape them to the outside of the collandar piece, though, so they don't trip it up when spinning 🤔
Thanks to those of you who have reminded me not to spritz blending solution due to the resins/sealers in it. My spritzer has alcohol in it, but I mis-spoke in the video. Safety first!

I have experimented a little with alcohol inks. Have never been overly happy with the results. These are wonderful! Especially love the butterfly card!! Thanks for sharing.
If I ever make an 'ugly' background with any technique, die cutting the 'best bits' often helps a lot! Thanks so much for watching!
I love your honesty! The salad spinner! LOVE!
Right?! Thanks for dropping by!
Salad spinner?! Mindblowing!!! I would never ever think of using it this way. It looks great
It's so fun! I need to get that out again! Thanks for watching!
LOVE the salad twister ones. So clever and fun too!
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks so much for talking so quickly. Our brain can take in more than we give it credit for.
LOL! Getting the pace right is definitely tricky. I've been told I talk too fast, so I'm glad the pace is right for you! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic ideas that I can't wait to try - thank you 😃 It is really helpful to see them turned into cards as that is the part that I struggle with.
That is a very helpful comment - I also sometimes struggle with ideas for cards with the backgrounds I've made so it's nice to know you found it helpful. Thanks so much for watching!
Ardyth, u are AMAZING! Card by card my mouth dropped farther and farther open. Love them all! Thank u and blessed crafting! 😊
That is very sweet! Thanks so much!
This was a fun video. I am amazed at the beautiful results you got. There were a couple you made that were so strikingly beautiful, I was like “Stop there!”. But, you pulled it off without ruining the beauty. I can’t wait to play with my inks again and try some new ideas.
Haha! That's the tricky part, isn't it? Knowing where to stop! And I'm the first to admit I don't always get it right! Thanks so much for watching!
So many striking cards! Thanks for some new ways to use alcohol ink!
Thanks for watching!
These cards are absolutely beautiful!
Thanks so much!
Wow! I love the results and the cards you made!!

Interesting experiments! My favorite cards are the salad spinner “celebrate” card and the stained glass looking acrylic card. Great job!
Thanks for watching!
Very cool ideas! Definitely want to try the bubble wrap.
We can try it again on Saturday! Thanks for watching!
Love the salad spinner!! That's the next supply I buy! Thanks for another great video.
Definitely worth it! Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much!
Gorgeous cards! I never thought of using stencils or background stamps
Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! Happy New Year!

I have ordered a few colours of alcohol ink and can't wait for them to arrive and start playing with it.
So many fun things to do with them! Enjoy! Thanks for watching!
This looks like so much fun!!

O. M. G. You are a genius! I'm definitely trying that!!! Thanks for watching and suggesting that!
Bubble wrap here I come! Thanks for the awesome ideas. Cheryl C.
Have fun! Thanks for watching!
I just thought of this but used a self propelled Spin Art. Fun. Wish I could post a picture.
