Another TriFold Card and another Art Impression Entry

Why do I always have to do things in multiples? I made my first trifold card this morning and now, before I head to bed, I feel the need to make another! Oh well, here it is!

Alcohol Ink Bug??? Oh NO!

Many of you are like me, when we get a bug we just can't shake it! Well,,,,,,, I have an alcohol ink bug! I only have a few but I am in love!!! Let me show you why................

For this card I used orange and yellow alcohol inks on photo paper. Then I stamped it with an awesome sunflower stamp. Cut it out, cut a piece of burlap, embossed my background and tied a bow! How easy was that???

This card was made the same way only using purple and blue alcohol inks.

If you would like to see a tutorial on how to use alcohol inks leave a comment below and I will upload a video!

Alcohol Inks- What can they do for you?

I bought a few alcohol inks some time ago because like many things in my craft room, I had to have it! I wasn't really sure what to do with them so there they sat, lonely and full! Well, it's time to break them out! With the leaves changing and the the crisp air of fall I wanted to really feel that in a card. I am tired of stamping pumpkins and ghosts ( Ok, not really tired of it!) and I wanted something different. That's when I broke out the inks! The best part about them is that you really can't mess up!

I really like the way this came out! If you would like to see a tutorial on how this was made leave me a comment below!

I came across a Dresden Plate Sizzix die. Would you believe it??? I have never seen one and I just stumbled upon it on Ebay. I think I paid $8 plus shipping.

 

 Well of course now I am using it for not only fabric but cards also! It is a bit smaller that the 5" blades I have been making but it's great for cards and even better to use up your scraps. By using different scraps you get completely different looks. Check out my YouTube video on how to create a Dresden Plate Card.

If you don't have the time, money or space to start card making check out My Etsy Shop for Card Making Kits at a fun and affordable cost. No dies to store or markers to buy- just grab some tape and put them together!

Maybe it's a bug! If so, I hope it stays around for a bit! I am loving the Dresdon Plate block! I decided to hand applique the sunflower one so when it is completely finished I will post a picture. In the meantime I made ANOTHER one! This one I left round and I quilted it. It is a perfect candle mat! This was easy and it took about an hour. You know the best part though.... SCRAPS! If you would like to purchase the pattern you can check out my Etsy shop!

A Dresden Plate can be an intimidating quilt block but if you can get a little bit of courage you can conquer this! I absolutely love this as it is sooooo versatile! You can make the Dresden plate and use it as a candle mat, make three, sew a backing and use it as a table runner, a pillow or a wall hanging. The best part? SCRAP STASH BUSTER!
