Green Ink Blending a Background with Video

 Watch my ink blending video.  I use Catherine Pooler Matcha and Grass Skirt as well as Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Forest Moss, to make a background that is lighter in the middle and darker near the edges.  I'm still new at making videos, so please don't judge too harshly!

Favorite Weekly Project - Infusible Ink Cosmetics Bag

 I have been wanting to use infusible ink (again, as I tried it last Christmas and liked the look), so I decided to take the plunge.  I used a Cricut cosmetic bag blank and the rainbow triangles infusible ink.  I used a brushstroke pattern for the background then used regular Cricut iron-on vinyl in black for the words.  Both sides are the same. I'm using this bag to store all of my ink-blending tools because the drawstring bag I had them in was getting too small.

 I love the vibrancy of the infusible ink and how it becomes part of the fabric.  It was not as difficult as I remembered.  The process went very smoothly following Cricut's directions.  I hope you'll give infusible ink a try!

Quick Tip Tuesday - Card Sizes

 If you are a paper crafter who enjoys making greeting cards, it is helpful to know the common sizes. This diagram should help.

In the card-making world, A2 seems to be the most popular.

It could be 4.25x5.5 or 5.5x4.25 and either top fold or side fold regardless of which side is the longer one. 

A2 cards can be found at most craft stores such as Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and JoAnn as well as online retailers such as Blick Art Materials (for a really reasonable price), Scrapbook.com, and A Cherry on Top.  I hope this information helps in your card-making journey.
