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:

Tropical leaf shaker back Save

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:

  • Stunning cards in the New Horizons card kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial option

    I couldn't decide which Designer Paper to feature for my April card kit to go so I did a poll on my Facebook group.  The majority asked me to use the New Horizons DSP.  I was leaning that way myself but their overwhelming response sealed the deal.  

    Here's a peak at the cards in this month's kit.

    New Horizons kit to go Save

    This paper almost makes the card itself! The scenes are so beautiful you don't need much to finish them off.  Because of that this month's kit includes an extra set of 2 bonus cards for a total of 12 instead of the usual 10.

    This kit is what my monthly kit subscribers will receive.  Opt in for the pre-cut kit by April 18th. It's $28 plus shipping. 

    You'll receive the following in your kit:

    • 12 pre-cut cards, die-cut & punched pieces
    • 1/2 pkg of the New Horizons 6 X 6" DSP
    • a share of Pebbles Enamel Shapes
    • a share of 1/8" cotton combo ribbon
    • the PDF tutorial with photos, supplies, measurements & step by step directions. 

    You will need the following to complete the cards:

    1. Paper Trimmer, adhesives, Black, Blackberry Bliss & Evening Evergreen inks
    2. Stamps – I used the On the Horizon stamp set but you can substitute what you already own.  #Add on the stamp set or bundle at 10% off and it will ship with your kit! *message me here to get a total if you want to add on the stamp set or bundle 

    Click here to get the PDF tutorial.
