Simple Birthday, a post from the blog MASKerade on Bloglovin’
Good morning, my lovely followers... Today i would like to share with you two cards I made using the new stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs called Valentine's Penguins. Both cards were coloured using Copic markers for the Penguins. The backgrounds were coloured with Distress inks. They are such friendly characters... I love them all!…
Hello crafty friends. If you're a fan of alcohol inks, you'll be happy to know, we finally added all of the Tim Holtz alcohol inks to our online store. While the inks have been around for many years, they have recently become very popular again. So, we thought you might enjoy a few blog posts featuring these inks, supplies for creating with these inks, and some fun techniques. There are numerous techniques and mediums to use when creating with these inks. They can be used on glass, metal, coated paper, Yupo, tiles, or any non-porous surface. My personal favorite is using the inks on Yupo. As I mentioned, my favorite way to create with these inks is using Yupo. I love sitting down with and assortment of inks, dripping them on the paper, and then blowing them with a straw to move the color around. It's fun to just play, and see what the colors do and how they mix together. Once I've created an assortment of backgrounds, I use them to create cards. Below are a few backgrounds I created and a couple cards I made using the backgrounds. Yupo is a synthetic paper. The most commonly used is the Yupo ORIGINAL. It's smooth, bright white, and 100% waterproof and tear resistant. It is available in multiple weights (we carry 144#, 74#, 86# and translucent in 104#) and is 100% recyclable and die cuts easily with most dies and machines. As I mentioned before, it is my favorite medium for using alcohol inks. I've tried photo paper and Tim Holtz glossy cardstock. Nothing works quite the same as Yupo. It is a bit more expensive, but totally worth it! Blending Solution vs. alcohol? I use both, but prefer the way the colors move and blend with the blending solution. I encourage you to experiment with both. I think you'll find they both create magic, just differently. Here's a quick VIDEO from Ranger Ink demonstrating the difference between the two. Felt Applicator Tools are great for applying alcohol inks. Especially if you like to have more control. To use, place a piece of felt onto your applicator tool. I like to choose 3 or 4 colors that work well together. Then, squeeze a 1-3 second squeeze of each color onto the felt while pushing the tip against the felt. Then pounce the color, or drag the color across the paper. After doing this, I like to add some blending solution to the felt and pounce again over the area where you previously applied the alcohol ink. The Alcohol Inks from Ranger / Tim Holtz are acid free and as I mentioned before, can be used on most non-porous surfaces. They are available in 60 alcohol ink colors and 7 mixatives. The mixatives are luminous, fast-drying, acid-free inks, specially formulated to create metallic highlights when combined with Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks. Use them on non-porous surfaces such as light or dark glossy paper, Yupo paper, glass, and other slick surfaces. Ashley Tucker created some fun YouTube videos demonstrating how she created some basic alcohol ink backgrounds. She kindly gave us permission to use her videos, here, in our blog post. Below are her fist and second video in a series using alcohol inks. We hope you'll head over to her YouTube Channel and take a peek at some of her videos. If you like them, please subscribe to her channel and leave her a comment! She also has a lovely blog you'll find HERE. Watch for our next blog post. We'll talk more about the inks and a fun, new product Tim introduced a few months ago, Lift Ink. Thank you for stopping by! LINKS TO SUPPLIES FEATURED:
Hi there, if you come from the TGIF challenge web site you will be wondering why I made such feminine cards when the theme for this week is “for dudes”, masculine/sport projects. I got my wires crossed and I completely misunderstood the challenge image! Noooo…So thinking that the theme today was “Love” I made 5 ...

Goedemorgen allemaal. Vandaag is het eindelijk zover! De eerste challenge van Tiddly Inks is begonnen! We beginnen lekker makkelijk dus dan iedereen mooi meedoen! :) Deze keer is het thema namelijk Anything goes. Dus je mag zelf weten wat je maakt. Bovendien maak je als je meedoet kans op een tegoedbon van 10 dollar voor de nieuwe Tiddly Inks shop, die binnenkort geopend wordt! En geloof mij je zult moeite hebben met kiezen, want Christy heeft ongelooflijk leuke afbeeldingen! Ik heb ervoor gekozen om een cadeau setje te maken. Het is een doosje geworden en daarin zitten 3 kleine kaartjes met envelop. De kaartjes zijn allemaal 10 bij 10 cm. Goodmorning everyone, Today is finally the day! The first challenge from the Tiddly Inks challenge blog is now finally on the blog! We are going to start with a really easy challenge, so you don't have an excuse to not participate! :) And there will be one lucky person who will win a credit of 10 dollars for the soon to be opened Tiddly Inks store. Believe me, you will have a hard time to chose, because Christy has so many lovely images! This time the theme is Anything goes. So you can decide what you want to make yourself. I have decided to make a little gift set. It is a box and inside you find 3 little cards with envelopes. All the cards are 10 by 10 cm. Op het eerste kaartje heb ik de afbeelding Daisy huggabugg gebruikt. Ze is al vaker op mijn blog voorbij gekomen, want ik vind het zo'n schatje! Ik heb de afbeelding gekleurd met derwent potloden. Rondom de afbeelding heb ik gekleurd met blauwe chalk. De oogjes van de bug heb ik gekleurd met een zwarte glaze pen. Ik heb de afbeelding uitgesneden met de ovalen nestabilities. Lnags de randen heb ik gedoodled met een zwarte fineliner. Op de bloem heb ik met een witte gelpen stipjes getekend. Dit past mooi bij het rose stippenpapier dat ik op de kaart heb gebruikt. De tekst is een nederlandse tekststempel van Stamping Bella. Met een ponsje heb ik uit wit papier 4 kleine vlindertjes geplakt. Ik heb ze dubbel gevouwen en alleen het midden zit vastgeplakt op de kaart. Met een zwarte fineliner heb ik sprietjes en wat stipjes getekend bij de vlinders. The image I used on my first card is Daisy huggabugg. I have already used the image a couple of times, but that is because she is such a cutie! I have colored the image with derwent pencils, I used blue chalks to color around the image. The eyes were colored with a black glaze pen. The image was cut out with my oval nesties. With a black fineliner I added the faux stitxhing. I have used a white gelpen to draw the little dots on the flower. This way it is a perfect match with my design paper. The sentiment is a stamp from Stamping bella from a Dutch sentiments set. It says Lots of love. I used a puncht for the 4 little white butterflies. I folded the flowers and applied the glue only in the middle so they stand up a bit on the card. I used a black fineliner for the antenna's and dotted trails. Op mijn tweede kaartje heb ik de afbeelding Happy bugg gebruikt. Deze keer heb ik de afbeelding uitgesneden met mijn vierkante nestabilities. Ik wilde de tekst op het vierkant linksonder stempelen, maar natuurlijk viel die van mijn acryl blok af en had ik een inktvlek op de afbeelding. :( Gelukkig kon ik hem goed wegwerken met een paar geponste bloemen. Ik heb de bloemen gemaakt met de retro ponsen. In het midden zit een rose hotfix steentje. Ik heb van zwart koord lusjes gemaakt en deze ook onder de bloem geplakt. De tekst heb ik daarna maar op een los stukje papier gestempeld en deze heb ik daarna geponst met de Stampin Up word window punch. Voor dit kaartje heb ik gekozen voor een streepjes achtergrond. I have used the image Happy bugg on my second card. This time I have cut the image out with my square nestabilities. I wanted to stamp the sentiment on the square but ofcourse it fell of my acrylic block and all that was left was a big ink stain. :( I was lucky because I could hide it with a big flower. I used retro punches to create the flower. In the middle of the flower I added a white hotfix stone. I made a couple of knots from black cord and attached them under the flower. The I decided to stamp the sentiment on a piece of paper and i punched it out with the Stampin Up word window punch. I have chosen for a striped background paper for this card. Op de derde kaart heb ik Star bugg gebruikt. Deze keer heb ik de afbeelding uitgesneden met mijn cirkel nestabilities. Met een zwarte fineliner heb ik langs de rand van de cirkel gedoodled en daar bovenop heb ik kleine zwarte hotfix steentjes geplakt. Op alle zwarte sterren heb ik zwarte glitter gedaan. Voor de achtergrond heb ik voor een sterretjes achtergrond gekozen. On my third card I have used Star bugg. This time I have cut the image out with the circle nestabilities. I doodled on the edge of the circle with my black fineliner and on top of that I attached a couple of little black hotfix stones. I added black glitter on all the stars of the image. For the the background I decided to use star paper. a perfect match for the image! Een foto van alle 3 kaartjes samen. A picture of all the cards together. De kaartjes heb ik verpakt in een doosje. Het patroon dat ik hiervoor heb gebruikt komt van de Double Dutch challenge. Ik heb alleen het formaat aanpast zodat de kaartjes en enveloppes er precies in passen. Voor de deksel heb ik streepjes papier gebruikt en voor het doosje zelf heb ik stippenpapier gebruikt. De afbeelding die ik op de doos heb gebruikt is Joy bugg. Ik heb de afbeelding uitgesneden met de cirkel nestabilities. Langs de rand heb ik gedoodled met een zwarte fineliner. De afbeelding zit met foamtape op het doosje geplakt. Aan de bovenkant heb ik geen foamtape geplakt , zodat de deksel achter de afbeelding kan vallen. Op de deksel van het doosje heb ik een paar geponste bloemen vastgemaakt. In het midden van de bloemetjes zit een rose hotfix steentje en onder de bloemetjes zit een groen takje dat ik heb geponst met de florap punches van Nellie Snellen. I made a little box that can hold the cards and envelopes. I used the pattern of te box from the Double dutch challenge . But I had to resize it so my cards and envelopes would fit in the box. I used a striped paper for the lid and for the box I used dotted paper. The image I used is Joy bugg. I have cut the image out with the circle nestabilties. I doodled on the edge of the circle with a black fineliner. The circle is attached to the box with foamtape. I didn't put the foamtape on the top of the circle, so that way the lid of the box can slide behind the image when you close it. On the lid of the bix I placed a couple of punched flowers . In the middle I added a pink hotfix stone and I also added a green branch that was punched with the floral punches from Nellie Snellen. IMAGE: Daisy huggabugg, happy bugg, star bugg and joy bug from Tiddly inks, dutch sentiments from Stamping Bella. CS: White cs, black papicolor. INK: Versafine onyx black. ACCESSORIES: Derwent pencils, black glaze pen, black fineliner, white fineliner, white ribbon, oval , square and circle nestabilities, Retro flower punches, pink and black hotfix stone, floral punch Nellie Snellen, butterfly punch, Stampin up word window punch, black glitter, black cord.
