Mineral paper, Alcohol Ink + easy mass-produced CAS Christmas cards

September 24, 2021 by Sandy Allnock 8 Comments Filed Under: Alcohol Inks

I was in an art store and had a 20% off sale burning a hole in my pocket….and since I’m always curious about interesting papers, I picked up a pad of Mineral Paper by Yasutomo. It said it’s good for lots of wet and dry media and, well….I’m putting it to the test! I’m also using a card by Anne as my inspiration today – I loved the 3 trees with a pattern in them, and wanted to use that idea.

12 cards

I made 12 cards from these two sheets of Mineral Paper – I could have gotten more if I’d been more efficient. Getting the alcohol closer to the edges, as well as trimming better. Next time I’ll likely get a lot more done, but wow was this fast for a big group of cards! I used the 110lb Neenah for all the cardstock since it’s CAS…I really like the heavier cardstock on simple cards.

12 tags

I wasn’t actually planning on making tags, but when I looked at the scrap pile after cutting out the card bases, I realized those leftover strips would be PERFECT for my tags this year! I didn’t use any dimension on them, just glued the snow section on (didn’t make it smaller either)….but now it’ll just be a matter of finding wrapping paper to match or just using white so the colored trees pop on them….that might be the best way to go!

More coming

I’ve scheduled a coooool video with watercolor on this paper, so stay tuned!

    Love your cards, and thank you for the demo of a new kind of paper. I wonder what you used for adhesive?

    I would also like to know what you used to glue the trees to the cardstock. (it looked really clean and no gluey mess!) Thank you!

    Sandy, this is both beautiful and fascinating. What did you use to glue the mineral paper to the card stock background?

    What fun! Love the trees – and I’ve been looking for mass-production Christmas card ideas this year. I don’t have alcohol inks, but I sure do have watercolors! I wonder how they’d behave on that mineral paper? I may have to swing over to Dick Blick… can’t wait to make some trees.
