![]() I’ll be using the Yupo paper for my projects today. ![]() Alcohol ink paper WILL NOT work for this technique because it is a porous surface. Non-porous surfaces include Yupo paper, glass, metal, plastic, and porcelain tiles. In order for this technique to work, you must first start with an alcohol ink background on a non-porous surface. In fact, it may be more important than ever. You have to use the right paper for the job. In this post, I’ll show you alcohol ink backgrounds with both Copic Various Ink Refills and Ranger Alcohol Inks.Īs I say in many of my posts, paper is key for achieving great results. You may find this helpful as an introduction to creating alcohol ink backgrounds. In February, I did a little post on making alcohol ink backgrounds. I’m going to break all of it down for you. Now if this all sounds a little confusing to you…don’t worry. It allows you to lift alcohol ink from a non-porous surface and then stamp with that ink on to a porous surface. This new ink pad is not like anything else on the market. In this month’s edition of the Ellen Hutson In Touch Newsletter, I’m exploring the new Alcohol Lift Ink Pad from Ranger. ![]() Please see the About page for more details.Hi everyone!

Laura is a tech editor, podcaster, knitter, spinner and recent pen addict. That said, I haven’t stopped using this desk calendar since I got it and I foresee more of these in my future. I realize this is an area of some debate, but I tend to load up on chores and freelance work on the weekends, so having two separate days to plan would be preferable. My one minor complaint is that Saturday and Sunday are grouped together. I enjoy the fact that the planner is undated so I can create my own weeks, and that the bulleted lists don’t have time slots so I can write down everything from what to make for dinner to my top five tasks for the day all in one list. I think it would also be great for Retro 51 ballpoints or rollerballs. Again, the fountain pen ink had a bit of show through, but the Ink Joy gel pens were perfect for this paper. On the second week, I went ahead and experimented with more fountain pen ink (Pilot Metro Pop, F nib and Diamine Purple Dream ink) as well as some of my Ink Joy gel pens. As you can see there was a bit of show through on the paper, but the ink didn’t bleed all the way through, which I consider a win, especially since I don’t plan on using the back side of the pages unless I have extreme list overflow! On the first page, I used my Pilot fountain pen with a super fine nib and some Robert Oster Berry D’Arche ink. The desk calendar is approximately 6.5″ tall by 12″ wide, and I find it’s the perfect size to keep on my desk at work to jot down notes, appointments, reminders, to-dos and the like. Inside are 54 undated weekly planning sheets. The covers are letterpress printed with a lovely floral design (front cover) and the adorable Ruff House Art logo (back cover). ![]() The Floral Weekly planner is an undated spiral bound planner, perfect for those who like to make lists. And who better to support than a local paperie and press shop? When I received the Desk Calendar Floral Weekly Planner from Ruff House Art ($18), I couldn’t have been more excited to support a local artisan and plan my week. As an avid crafter, I love supporting local artists.
