Craft Organization: Alcohol Ink Swatches

By on September 15, 2022 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new craft organization video for you all about alcohol ink swatches.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared craft organization videos, and it’s past due! I was working on catching up on swatching my alcohol inks, so I thought I’d share it with you.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

In my video I share the paper I use for swatching and why, as well as other supplies and my favorite practices.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Hello! Today I’m up on The Hedgehog Hollow blog here to share these Ink Blended tags for Inspiration.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I love how these turned out! I used the quiet, unassuming line stamp in the lower left corner of this stamp set from the Hedgehog Hollow May 2020 Kit.





Check out my video for all the details, and a SECRET for getting almost any ink combination to blend well. Watch below or in HD on YouTube:













For all the ink combinations I used, head on over to The Hedgehog Hollow.

Here’s one of the backgrounds I created inspired by one of the tags…I can’t decide if it should be a vertical or landscape card! lol. So I haven’t attached the hello sentiment until I can decide.





Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed the May kit this year…it’s already sold out, it has been so popular.






		
		
			
			
		
	





See you next time!

Craft Room Organization: Ink Swatch Book

Hello again! I’m starting off May with some craft room organization using some products with the May 2020 Hedgehog Hollow kit. Today it’s an ink swatch book and I have lots of ideas for you!






		
		
			
			
		
	







		
		
			
			
		
	







		
		
			
			
		
	





These colors have me feeling HAPPY! I used the smaller stars stamp from the stamp set included in the May 2020 Kit for the Distress Oxides. For the Distress Inks, I used the STENCIL to ink the colors on (since I normally don’t stamp with Distress Inks…I use them for techniques and stencils).





I have a video with some tools and tips for you, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:













I love some good organization! I have to give a standing ovation to Jennifer McGuire for putting together all these 2×2 ink charts with LOTS of inks. She even includes a blank one so you can fill in your own inks, too!





I got the 3 colors charts from Ranger and Scrapbook.com and if you are interested you can find them here:

For the Altenew inks, I stamped a flower with all the layering colors to see what they look like together.

I hope you enjoyed this today! I am so happy seeing all these colors together.
