The alcohol backgrounds technique is one of my favorites to do! When I was visiting my sisters a few weeks ago, they asked me to show them how to do it. And they loved it too! So, I thought y'all might like to see how it's done. Because it's quick, easy, and it'll make you feel like a true artist!

If you missed my live video where I shared how to do this technique, be sure to go back and watch it because I shared a lot of tips for getting really good results. And, I walked you step-by-step how to create this beautiful card using the Let's Set Sail stamp set and punch from Stampin' Up!®

Basic supplies:
91% Rubbing Alcohol (or higher)
Cotton balls
Stampin' Blends alcohol markers
Vellum
Watercolor Brush

I have a really cool fun fold card design to share with you today - a swing card! When you open this card, the sentiment flips over. (Keep reading for more photos of this card open!) By doing the partial die-cutting technique, you can make this style of card with any basic shape or label die. 

I showed exactly how to make this card during my YouTube live this week. And, I have a FREE downloadable quick reference guide for you below!

Patterned paper makes it really easy to make this card. I shared samples using soon-to-come, current, and soon-to-be-retired stamp sets from Stampin' Up!® You get a little sneak peek of the Splendid Day suite, another sample with the Simply Fabulous stamp set, and one last idea using the Artfully Composed suite.

​Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Here is a super easy card to make using patterned paper and Versamark ink. I have samples using the NEW Splendid Thought stamp set from the 2022 July-December Mini Catalog as well as the He's All That, Quiet Meadow, and Peaceful Moments stamp sets from Stampin' Up!®

We created this card during this week's Stamp with Me Tuesday - Mystery Stamping. Keep reading to find all of the supply lists, the card sketch, and a quick-reference guide for this sketch.

Stamping Facebook group on Monday afternoon for the list of supplies, and join me in the group or on YouTube Tuesday night to make a card.

We created these fabulous fun fold gift card holders for this week's Stamp with Me Tuesday. They have a circle at the top where you can stamp a sentiment or an image and a top flap that folds over the circle. Then, when you open the fun fold card, there is a place inside to tuck a gift card. 

Using patterned paper like the Hues of Happiness, Abigail Rose or Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!® makes these fun fold cards easy to make! However, you could also stamp images or add additional decoration like I did with the cards using the Sweet Songbirds and Happiness Abounds stamp sets.

If you missed my live demonstration, you can watch the replay to see exactly how to make this card. You'll also find a FREE Quick-Reference Guide with all of the cutting dimensions for this fun fold design at the bottom of this post, so be sure to read all the way through. And of course there are links to all of the supply lists for these cards.

Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.
