Baby ‘Swipe’ Technique; two awesome examples!


Our Flowerbug's March swap theme was to use a technique featuring an ink refill.  The projects were incredible! 


Today I'm featuring two cards using a technique called 'Baby Swipe'.  What is it?  It's where you roll up a baby wipe and drop ink refill liquid on the edge and use it to swipe across your paper.  Super fun to try.  

Candace chose to use the Irresistible Blooms bundle and the pretty Naturally Gilded specialty paper seen here.  These items are on the Online Exclusives site and available for a limited time.  

Her colors include Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam and Flirty Flamingo.  This specialty DSP works wonderfully for this because the surface is glossy. Once you're done adding ink use a tissue or soft cloth to wipe away the excess ink.  It will not adhere to the foil areas.  

She used Copper embossing powder on her flower, leaves and greeting.  The texture is from the new Basics 3D embossing folder pack.  These are currently out of stock but will be back in May or earlier.

Next is a gorgeous scenic card made by Brenda. She also chose to use one of the new Online Exclusive products; the Rhino Ready bundle. 

She used the same embossing folder on the Cajun Craze layer and die-cut a window using the Diorama dies seen here.  I think her scene is stunning!   

I believe her colors are Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Petal Pink for her sunset/baby swipe technique.  

Those trees and rhino dies are all from the Rhino Ready bundle seen here.  

Below I demonstrate the baby 'wipe' technique. Click here or on the photo below to watch.

  • New Nature’s Symphony top fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I hope you had a very Merry Christmas last week. We sure did but we missed our youngest son & his wife. They were hit with the flu the day they were going to drive up here. It wasn’t the same without them! But we still had our Appetizer Showdown competition and played lots of games including our annual Minute to Win It games. Always lots of laughs! I highly recommend doing these with family or friends. It’s one of our highlights of the time we spend together.

    I shared this easy fun fold card on last week’s Live video. It features new product from the upcoming 2026 Spring catalog.

    I featured the Nature’s Symphony bundle and the new Nature’s Walk DSP. I cannot share links to these products because they’re not available for customers quite yet. Tomorrow on my week’s Live video I’ll share all of my new products from both the Spring catalog and the newest Online products – both coming out in early January. Join me here.

    My colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and Old Olive with White. Besides the Nature’s Symphony bundle I added a die-cut for the greeting from the Textured Notes dies seen here.

    This card is an easy fun fold layout. The back is simply 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ and the center is a full 3 1/4″ X 11″ scored at 5 1/2″. It gives you a large area to add your patterned paper on the front. I made many of these cards for a long distance swap I joined in.

    I created a free project sheet for this card Click here to download or print it. There’s also a video tutorial below as well.

    The Nature’s Walk designer paper is filled with textured patterns. I love the colors in it; the blues & greens are just my style.

    Here’s the video tutorial for you. I also share another pretty card idea featuring this beautiful bundle.

  • Merry Christmas to you!


    Merry Christmas! I hope you are able to spend it with loved ones.

    It’s my favorite time for our family! Our kids are coming as usual and we have a good time playing games, making puzzles, lots of sweet treats and good meals too. We also play Minute to Win It games and have an appetizer showdown too!

  • Pretty Bridge fold card with Snowflake Kisses with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It features the Elegant Pine Snowflake designer paper and the Snowflake Kisses bundle.

    My colors include Pretty Peacock, White & Lost Lagoon above. The Elegant Pine Snowflake designer paper is beautiful and can be seen here.

    I created a second card with Secret Sea as the card base instead of Pretty Peacock. Which do you prefer?

    This card is a bridge fun fold layout. It starts out with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base but requires two extra cuts from the center score line down 1 1/8″ from each edge. It’s easy with our Paper Trimmer. Watch the video below to see how it’s done.

    I created a free project sheet for you with photos and measurements. Click here to print or download it.

    I hope you try one. If you haven’t made one before please watch the video below. They are quite fun to make & open!

    The photo below shows the card closed, the main panel lifted and the inside! Tip: We used a handmade stencil to sponge snowflakes on the inside. *cut snowflakes from a piece of card stock and sponge or blend ink through the windows.

    Below is the video tutorial which includes a second card with this bundle. I hope you watch it! Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here.
