Alcohol Inks - Christmas Cards | Tuesday 10th November - 6pm till 9pm
This workshop is Led by Millie Moth
Christmas Card Workshop using Alcohol Inks with Karen from Millie Moth Art
Design your own festive artwork using vibrant alcohol inks, and have them transformed into 6 professionally printed, personalised Christmas cards.
You can choose to create a single design or explore a few variations during the session. Once finished, your tutor Karen will take away your original artwork, photograph it, and transform it into a beautifully designed Christmas card layout which will then be professionally printed. You’ll have the option to include your own text or imagery on the front and back if you wish - making each card a true reflection of your style. Just like Karen's Millie Moth cards, they will be printed onto lovely thick, slightly textured FSC certified card, with kraft envelopes to match.
Included in your workshop:
- All materials and equipment
- Create one or more festive designs using alcohol ink pens and techniques on yupo paper
- Help and guidance throughout to bring your ideas to life
- Option to include personal photos and/or your own text (you’ll see examples on the day)
- Professional printing service
-
Your original artwork, plus 6 square (150mm) cards featuring your design, will be posted to you to arrive at the end of November/beginning of December, in plenty of time to send out for Christmas
- Refreshments & Sweet Treats
- 10% OFF in the gift shop on the day
Extra special touches:
- Want to include a photo on your card? Bring it along either as a physical print (which will be returned to you) or a digital version on your phone – Karen can help you to send it to her on the day
- The cards will be blank inside, but you can personalise the front and back with wording, photos, or a little festive message
- If you create more than one artwork, or just want extras of your favourite, you’ll be able to order additional packs of 6 on the day too
Optional extras:
- Add 6 more cards (same or different design): +£12
- Add 12 more cards (same or mix of 2-3 designs): +£22
Suitable for all skill levels or anyone wanting a creative Christmassy moment for themselves
Please note: Each design has to be ordered in a pack of 6 so any personalisations you make need to be suitable to send to 6 different people!
WARNING! This workshop is for ADULTS ONLY: During the session, we’ll be using 91% isopropyl alcohol as part of the painting process. You’ll use it sparingly—dripping a few drops onto your artwork and occasionally spraying a fine mist over the surface. Some people notice the smell (though I’m completely used to it now!), and I’ll do my best to keep the room well ventilated if needed.
There’s also a bit of gentle blowing through a straw involved—just something to keep in mind if you’re prone to breathlessness or light-headedness. If that sounds tricky, I can provide a small hand-pump blower as an alternative.
VENUE ADDRESS: 8-10 Chapel Street, Ripley, Derbyshire, DE5 3DL

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: You will receive a booking confirmation, later followed by an ‘everything you need to know’ email.
