Baby ‘Swipe’ Technique; two awesome examples!

March 22, 2023

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.

Crafters are always ready for new products, right? Even if you think you there will always be more that you 'need'! It's not hoarding or collecting if you actually use it, right?

Hopefully you have your new catalog now. If you do not have a local demonstrator let me know if you'd like one; they cost just $5 for shipping to you. You can see all of the new products here online.

Here's a card I made using all 5 of the beautiful new 2020-22 In Colors:

The card base is Misty Moonlight and the three 1 1/4" strips are Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Cinnamon Cider. I added the greeting die-cuts in White and Bumble Bee. These pretty die-cuts are from the Tasteful Labels dies on page 179; they're awesome and one of my favorites I've used a ton.

Quick Framed Panel card; three ways!

June 1, 2020
For last week's Stamp with Me Facebook Live I chose to make framed panel cards. There are likely many ways to frame a stamped panel but I chose to highlight three of them – Stamped, Textured and Designer Paper. Look!

Save

On these first two cards I stamped leaves on card stock using White Craft ink. The colors above are the new 2020-22 In Colors in Just Jade and Misty Moonlight. I used the Layered with Kindness (retiring!; see it here) and the brand new Forever Fern stamp sets. The punch is Label Me Fancy seen here.

Just look at the detail on the Distinktive images here on the Forever Fern stamp set. I'm in the middle of creating a new Wonder template for 8 quick, beautiful cards using this stamp set. I cannot wait to share it with you!

Save

I do not have the new Misty Moonlight ink yet so I used Night of Navy, stamped off once. It's close!

Measurements:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- long pieces are 1" X 4 1/4"
- short pieces are 1" X 3"
- stamped panel is 1 3/4" X 3"
- Navy layer is 1 7/8" X 3 1/8"
This next card is the new Cinnamon Cider with Bermuda Bay. I also used the new Forever Fern stamp set here. The butterflies are from Butterfly Wishes set.

Save

The next card is Seaside Spray with Night of Navy and features the Layered with Kindness and Butterfly Wishes. which coordinated with our Butterfly Duet punch. The Ornate Floral embossing folder is new and in the upcoming Annual catalog but it's available now.

Save

Lastly is one made with Garden Lane designer series paper (on sale right now) in Garden Green & Mint Macaron.

Save

Each week I share the measurements for our Monday stamp sessions a day or two early. Everyone preps their card supplies and create right along with me on my Facebook Page. They're loving my quick & simple cards; we make 3 each week on Monday nights at 7:30 pm CT. You can see the cards we're making tonight!  Join us here!
