Baby Wipe technique and the easiest Shaker Card ever! Tips for success & Video Tutorial

This card was cased from my good friend Susie Wood; creating comes naturally to her.  She's fast and super talented.  See her cute card here.  

I used the Tropical Leaf bundle in the Online Exclusives section of our online store.  I also wanted to feature the baby wipe technique.

The colors include Parakeet Party, Bermuda Bay and a tiny bit of Granny Apple Green.  The designer paper inside the clear envelope is Pretty Prints.  Here's how I created the clear envelope shaker:

My Pretty Prints designer paper layer is 5 1/4" X 4" and our clear envelopes are about 1/2" larger.  For the shaker elements to stay on the front side of the envelope it has to be tight and smaller.  So I added tear & tape to the back edge and folded the extra over tightly. Now, insert your shaker elements on the front pocket and fold down the end flap. Wallah!  You have a shaker card front!  

This DSP is from the Pretty Prints; soon to retire from the Annual catalog.  See it here.

It includes some of my favorite colors – Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen.  

The CS layers on the front are added on top of this shaker element so you still get the feel of a real card; not all slippery.  Watch the video here or below to see how it's done.  It's the 2nd project of 3.

Now to create the baby wipe leaves I made my own ink pad with a folded baby wipe.  

Tips for success of the baby wipe technique:

  1. Fold a baby wipe into a thick layer; at least 4 layers thick. Make your 'pad' as large as your largest stamp image.  Place it on a plate.
  2. Drop multiple drops of each color of ink refill onto the baby wipe, leaving room between colors for another color.
  3. I recommend at least 2 colors and up to 4 at the most. 
  4. Choosing colors?  Find complimentary colors in similar shades – blues/greens, yellows/oranges, oranges/pinks etc.  
  5. Choosing stamps? Solid images work best; outline images will not show off your colors well. 
  6. Ink your stamp in the new colored pad by tapping up and down in the same approximate place. Traveling while inking may muddy your colors. 
  7. Huff on the image and stamp.
  8. Depending on how much ink you added you can use your new 'ink pad' multiple times. Add more ink drops as needed.  

Here's how the inside was stamped:

  • A Stunning fall card with Gorgeous Garden; with a video tutorial and free project sheet!

    We added fall colors to the die-cut using Blending brushes.

    If you're interested in these dies now is a great time to purchase them.  Add on another item or two and you'll qualify to receive a Mystery Box from me!  *see details below

    The card base is Vanilla as well as the die-cut.  Ink colors include: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat.

    We started with the two darkest colors – Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive, adding a few splotches of color leaving many open areas for the remaining two colors. I prefer to add the lightest color of Wild Wheat last, so it can fill in any open areas without covering up the previous colors. 

    Watch the video here or scroll down to see it below.

    The stamps & leaf die-cuts are from the Autumn Leaves bundle seen here.  It's a big favorite of mine this season.
