Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful card- love the colors. I need to get more ink colors
Thank you, Ginger! The new colors are really different. They're fun to experiment with.
I love these colors!,, this is awesome!, 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜. I don’t have any of the new colors but my favorite Clair color so far is the blue you used first!!!
I LOVE Twilight. It's such a fabulous, useful color when you just don't wanna use Nocturne. The new colors are pretty unique. Thanks for watching!
Those colors are amazing!
They are. The new ones are a really good addition to the rest of the collection. Thanks!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
That’s beautiful! Who’d have thought to use Play-Dough? 😎🇺🇸🌴
Thanks! I got the idea from Shawna from her Created & Made channel. Here's a longer video of mine using Play-Doh on a Gel Press, if you're interested. : ua-cam.com/video/Lo7ZcN7wUoI/v-deo.htmlsi=dM4_fpKjB8xfXlPi

Beautiful !! TY for the inspiration!! 🧑🏼🎨😀
Thanks for watching!
Love love love!
Thank you!
I used to watch horror movies when I was way younger, my brother would take me to see them, so I have fond memories of Freddie Kruger 🥰 🔪. My friend’s daughter loves hello Kitty and she’s also a horror movie lover so these images are a perfect fit for her! It’s so interesting when you read articles in very old newspapers. I’m sure anyone who knew about that story are long gone by now. I’m not trying to minimize the horrible thing that happened to the girl in the article, I’m saying you probably won’t offend too many people by using it in your project😊. Really loved watching this come together, thanks for sharing with us!
I really appreciate what you said about the article. Thank you for that. I love that you used to go see Freddie in the theatre with your brother. Thank you so much for being here!
@@AlisonHeikkila 💜🤗
Absolutely stunning- I can’t wait to try acetate and glitter embossing paste.
Have fun! Just make sure to really let it dry.
This is really beautiful, Alison! ❄️
Thanks so much for watching!
Stunning!! Blue is my favorite color!!
I love working with blue. Thanks!!!
Absolutely gorgeous! Love the sparkle!!! 💜🥄💜
Thank you! 🤗
Gorgeous card friend~
Thanks, Friend!
Beautiful shaker card Alison 🥰 I love your stenciling, your shaker card design and your tutorial ❤️ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this video! ❤️I have been struggling with some dies… I really think they should stop with these small metal bits between dies :/ it’s more of a hassle than anything else.
It's all about how they need to be manufactured. They don't make them one die at a time, they're done in sheets, so they need to be connected. Hopefully my tips will help and it will be less of a hassle for you. 😊
It’s so sparkly!!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
It really is! Thanks!
I love this idea!! QUESTION do you have the glitter paste on the outside of the card or inside?
Thank you! I have the paste on the outside. I like the texture. But you can certainly put it on the inside if you prefer.
Beautiful card! I love all of shine.
Thank you!
❤
I need these!!!!! Super cute! Love it! It’s amazing!
Thank you! The others in the collection are great too.
So cool watching you make this! It was almost like having a colour/craft session with you, which would be a awesome! I have never coloured any of this set up you know? no idea why. lol. Thanks for GDT'ing! I am obsessed with drippy blood stuff, sad I can't buy it, but might seek out the alternative you suggest!! :D obsessed! x
Thank you so much for having me! I had a total blast, as I'm sure you can tell. You should totally color them...I'd love to see your versions. You can get a similar version to the drippy blood...it's just a bit thinner. Link is in the description. Thank you again!
Ack! LOVE LOVE LOVE! And btw, Clive Barker is my favorite author after Richard Matheson, and I will recommend reading The Hellbound Heart by Barker, as opposed to the Hellraiser films. His writing is superb. Not nearly as gory as the films. Weaveworld is one of my favorite books of his.
Thank you for the recommendations! I will totally check them out. I really appreciate you watching.
You don't know this, but I talk to you through the entire video. I'm so glad you finally heard me say, "Grab the grape jelly!" This turned out perfect!!!
Oh my gosh, I wish I could hear you talk to me! Thank you for watching! I'm glad I picked up on your Grape Jelly vibes. 😉
Awesome Kitties altered book Alison 🥰 I love your coloring, your details and your altered book design, awesome. I am to old for hello kittie 😅 ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx
You're never too old for Hello Kitty! Lol. Thank you so much for being here.
@@AlisonHeikkila Lol. No, you're not 😂 But when it came to Denmark, I was a teenager, so we didn't see it then 😄❤️
I am NOT a horror fan. I'm a huge scaredy cat. I remember watching Freddie at a slumber party through my fingers placed over my eyes. So traumatic lol But I LOVE this little book! I think the newspaper articles were a fantastic touch and totally appropriate for what you were doing.
Many people aren't horror fans. But thankfully, Hello Kitty is adorable no matter what. Lol. I'm sorry you were traumatized by Freddy! Thanks for watching, Friend.
I love this! You're so frickin creative and it was fun to listen to you, thanks!
That's so mice of you to say! Thanks very much!
It’s adorably creepy
That's what I was going for! Thanks!
It's Halloween. Creepy is appropriate. (Not my thing, but I enjoyed listening to you have fun.)
I appreciate you saying that. Thank you so much for watching even though you're not into creepy.
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
Beautiful! What is ink potion number 9?
Thanks! Ink Potion No. 9 is a blending solution for water-based inks. It helps keep things wet longer, keeps paper from curling, and encourages colors to blend.
Good inspiration…thank you
Thanks so much!
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
🫰🏻
Love it!!
Thank you!!
Great job mimicking the album! I need to get this set! TFS!
Seriously, these dies are so much fun! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful card Alison 🥰 I love your card design, the collection and your tutorial. I can see all the possibilities, but I don't think, its a collection I will buy ❤️ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx Have a fantastic weekend
It's not for everyone, but hopefully you found some inspiration for your own projects. Thank you so much for being here.
@@AlisonHeikkila I always enjoy your videos and I think you are so inspiring, no matter what products you use 👍❤️
BTS. OT7 With a Suga problem!!! I can’t wait to get my set!!!😊I'll use it for both reasons, Fandom and just because!! I have soooooo many ideas!!!
