@@kdbhoney Hi, Karen, She die cut a very thin frame in the center that left white space around the center design. You may have to watch the video again as I don't think I explained this well. :-)
Oh Nichol, I love to watch the alcohol ink flow and create such lovely color combo’s, these cards are amazing!!! I enjoyed watching your process! So grateful you shared! Hugs!!!
Nicole - I wanted to let you know what an inspiration you are. I’ve had this kit and haven’t been able to do a thing with it. After finding your video, I pulled out my alcohol inks (which I’ve hardly used) and went to work! I was able to create all three cards (had to change up just a few things due to lack of supplies.), Thanks for taking me out of my comfort zone and giving me the confidence to create! Love your videos!!
Something I saw on another demo was to put down a sheet of clean paper and stamp the lifted off ink on it. I hate to waste anything do really liked this idea.
Simply beautiful! The colors are stunning and the finished card with the cream boarder adds such a great touch to the card. Love what you did Nichol and thank you for the information on mailing the cards!
this is the first card kit I've ordered and cannot wait to try and replicate your beautiful technique. I've done the alcohol lifting technique before but my colors were not spread out as well with air. thanks so much for posting!
Oh my word, Nichol!! These cards are absolutely stunning! I LOVE playing with alcohol inks and I even have a few backgrounds stashed that I can use my Alcohol Lift Ink and make a few cards! Adore your color palettes and the card design! Going to give it a go! Definitely going to share on my SSS Pinterest Board...Thanks so much!!
20 thumbs up for these fantastic cards. I'm keeping this video for a reference for when I start my project. This is the second reference I have of yours. Very good job.
Awesome! I’ve only just begun working with the alcohol inks. I had a problem with the ink wanting to transfer off after I was finished with the paper. Do you need to seal the paper somehow? Very pretty cards! TYFS ❤️🦋💜
After you had stamped with the Lift Off ink you could have pressed the stamps onto a white piece of paper and you would have coloured images of the butterflies
These are so beautiful! I love the color combinations. I really like using the frame, too. Did you know the you can get more backgrounds if you off stamp the alcohol inked stamps onto another piece of cardstock before continuing?
@@yarabaird5645 You use the lift ink on the alcohol ink background, like Nichol demonstrated. Then, without cleaning your stamps, stamp on a piece of white cardstock. You will get the colorful impression that you lifted off the AI background. I am not sure how clean an impression you'd get, as it's been a while since I saw this technique. Jennifer McGuire demonstrated it on her YT channel. Of course, that may depend as much on the stamp as anything. Just be sure to clean any residual ink off of your stamps before inking with the lift ink again, or it can damage that pad by "gunking" it up with alcohol ink. Hope this helps! :)
I love your cards. Very beautiful I have alcohol links I am going to this. That is alochal paper right What size the paper that put alcohol ink .Keep up the great work
Thanks for a fascinating technique tutorial, Nichol! What did you use to clean off the stamps between applications of alcohol-lift ink? It looked like it has a dabber top. Thanks!
Gorgeous! just dusting off my inks. QUESTION: I know Tim said that the mixatives don't work as well with the Lift..so I'm assuming that the Pinata does???
Beautiful cards and I've wanted to use my lift ink for a while! Your nails look beautiful as well. How do you do it? Keep them nice? Mine are broken and split down to the quick
How are you getting your orders? I am waiting for orders from April and items are not on backorder yet not being shipped out. I will not order any kits till I get a my back orders. Would it be quicker to cancel the order and reorder again? It has the graduation stamp I need in it.
I usually use my Tim Holtz craft mat when playing with alcohol inks. I keep a damp cloth or baby wipes near by to remove ink from my surface in between projects.
Just curious, if this is a “how-to” or “how I did it” video, why did you crop out the actual methods of what you did? I found it frustrating. The cards are lovely, but why hide the process that created them?
I could not love these more.! The colors are fantastic and the butterflies really show up. The black and white sentiments pop.
Beautiful. Thank you.Love the idea of the white tiny frame to set off the center.
OK, I missed how she made that. Can you explain?

beautiful cards, i can never lift the ink, it does not appear on my backgrounds. You are awesome nichole
These are so beautiful! I love the color combinations. I really like using the frame, too. Did you know the you can get more backgrounds if you off stamp the alcohol inked stamps onto another piece of cardstock before continuing?
Mary Smith I have the same question
You mean instead of cleaning the stamps, stamp on paper and then restamping with the lift ink?
@@yarabaird5645 You use the lift ink on the alcohol ink background, like Nichol demonstrated. Then, without cleaning your stamps, stamp on a piece of white cardstock.

@@andrealavigne7824 thanks will have to open my pad :) and play with it
These are so pretty! What did you use to clean your stamps?
I love your cards. Very beautiful I have alcohol links I am going to this. That is alochal paper right What size the paper that put alcohol ink .Keep up the great work
Thanks for a fascinating technique tutorial, Nichol! What did you use to clean off the stamps between applications of alcohol-lift ink? It looked like it has a dabber top. Thanks!
Did you use alcohol blending solution on the paper first?

I don't have alcohol ink can I use something else?
My eyes were "glued" to the tape. This is a wonderful concept. What was the name of the paper used with the alcohol inks? It was not written down.
She said at the beginning of the video that she was using YUPO Paper
And it IS ‘written down’ LOL 😉
What surface is safe to use for crafting with alcohol inks?
I usually use my Tim Holtz craft mat when playing with alcohol inks. I keep a damp cloth or baby wipes near by to remove ink from my surface in between projects.
You can also use freezer paper, if you don't have a craft mat or don't want to stain it. :)

Sorry, they just look a mess😢
