Alcohol Marbling Card

Hello ladies!  I fought with this technique, as cool as it looks!  Before I go any further here is the tutorial for the alcohol marbling technique. 

When I followed the directions it seemed as if the first color that I used dried very fast and I was left with just bits of color on my marbled glossy paper.  You can really notice it on the second image I posted.  If you look you will see just bits of the Olive color and it definitely was NOT the look for which I was striving.  LOL!  In the last image I opted to fix a sample I didn't like by coloring with only one color (darkest neutral) and quickly spraying with the rubbing alcohol.  It seemed to really work well.

Update:  Club went well and one lady discovered that she could blend the colors with her finger after she spritzed the alcohol.  You could use another baggie, rubber glove or bit of plastic wrap to blend the colors and reactivate the "oldest" color.  The Dollar store has 50% rubbing alcohol and I definitely recommend going for the higher concentrate.  

I intend to swing by a drugstore to pick up another rubbing alcohol because mine was only 50% whereas the tutorial shows 70%.  I don't know if it will help but I will definitely be demonstrating to my ladies to layer one color at a time, starting with the lightest color.  You don't even want to know how much time I spent on this one card!  LOL!

Happy stamping!

Hello!  I dashed home from grocery shopping to finish up this card.  This card is clean and simple.  I love any excuse to use my washi tape; but then again, I tend to hoard it as well.  (-:  Yikes...the stores are getting crazy.  I am definitely going to plan to be in town early from now until after the New Years.  I don't enjoy waiting in lines.  LOL!  More time for stamping?

Christmas Bauble Gold Glitter Easel Card

It took me a few hours but I am finally sitting down to add commentary to this post.  LOL!  This was certainly a fun card to create and it is full of bling!  Even my daughter, who usually turns her nose up at stamping to be her own person, wowed over the bling.  Mission accomplished!

1.  Cut a 12x12 piece of cardstock in 4" strips.
2.  Score at 4", 6", and 8"
3.  Use sticky strip on one of the 2" sections to fold up your card.

Be sure to use a dimensional under the greeting on the inside of the card so that you can prop up the top.
