Baby Wipe technique – 2 great swaps by my Flowerbug’s

Our March card swap theme was to use a technique with a re-inker or an ink refill.  There are lots of fun techniques out there that you need ink refills for. 

These first two feature the Baby Wipe technique; one of my very favorites for getting multiple colors on solid images! 

This first card was made by Marla where she featured the Love for You bundle seen here.

I believe her colors include Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo and Calypso Coral.  She even stamped her greeting in the baby wipe technique.  Watch my video today here   (or later on my YouTube channel here) to see how it's done.  It's absolutely fun!!

Next is a pretty card made by Jacki with the Art Gallery stamp set and Floral Gallery dies.  

Save

I believe her colors include Navy, Garden Green and Tahitian Tide.  Her White layers are textured with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder seen here.  

Come back for more tomorrow! Click here or on the photo below to watch the video.

• The pretty Citrus Blooms dies

  August 28, 2024

  ---

  While I was creating for my Live video projects I wanted to show off the pretty Citrus Blooms dies. 

  Save

  The colors include Night of Navy, White & Old Olive.  I added a small strip of the Mediterranean Blooms DSP under the Greeting of the Season white die-cut label.  See these dies here; you will love them! 

  You can see the two Citrus Bloom dies I used to create this White & Olive frame in the photo below.  I like that stitched die a lot; it can be used alone or with this leafy die. See the Citrus Bloom dies here.

  Below is a video where I share a few more ideas for the Mediterranean Blooms DSP.

• You’ll love this easy sketch idea for a quick & pretty card

  August 27, 2024

  ---

  On last week's Live video I focused on the pretty Mediterranean Blooms designer paper and this pretty color combination: 

  Save

  My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy, White & a touch of green in the pretty Mediterranean Blooms DSP.  It's on sale for a few more days! See it here. 

  The card base is 4 1/4"X 11" scored at 5 1/2". The Lemon Lolly is 4" X 5 1/4", DSP is 2" X 5 1/4", Navy strip 1/4" X 5 1/4" 

  Each month in my Flowerbug's Team we have an optional challenge that features a sketch of color combination. This is the current sketch and it inspired me to create this pretty card. 

  Save

  Card sketches are drawings or images that can help inspire your creativity. They're a starting point. Use the basic design and change it any way you'd like.  

  The greeting is from the Nested Essential dies seen here.  The pretty embossing folder on the Lemon Lolly layer is called Dashing Designs and can be seen here.

• A Pretty Diamond Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  August 26, 2024

  ---

  This card fold looks a bit tricky but it is super easy to make!

  Save

  It features the beautiful Mediterranean Blooms designer paper. My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy & White.

  This card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4"; score at 5 1/2" & 8 7/8". 

  How did I get that square to pop up on the end?  Watch the video to see!  But basically you trim off the outer corners from the scored and folded end. 

  Save

  I fussy cut the lemon bunch from the designer paper. The Citrus Blooms bundle coordinates with this pretty DSP but I didn't use them here.  The greetings are from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set.

  Here's the inside view:
