Clear Block Stamping; a fun & easy background for quick cards!

October 13, 2020
Have you ever tried Block Stamping? If you have a clear block and ink pads you can do this!

I shared these cards on Facebook Live last week Tuesday. You can watch the replay below. Remember every Tuesday morning at 11 am CT I'm Live on FB here.

I chose a few different stamp sets and inks for the cards I made. I also have a few tips for you when doing this technique.

Save

The above card features Soft Seafoam and In The Pines stamp set. The White layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2". I inked the 'H' block in Soft Seafoam ink and spritzed it with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Champagne Shimmer Paint.

You can use water but that takes longer to dry and I wanted a bit of shimmer. Shimmer Paint mixes well with rubbing alcohol. I added random strips of Shaded Spruce CS across the card. Quick & easy!

Save

This card features Calypso Coral (2" X 5 1/2"), Petal Pink and the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set. The textured layer is from the set of Wrapped in Texture embossing folders.

Save

Can you see the marbling effect here? I inked the block in Seaside Spray ink and then added a few swirls of Misty Moonlight with a Stampin' Write marker. *Watch the video below.

I used the Snowflake Wishes set on this card and the Flowers for Every Season ribbon/twine combo pack. The colors are Seaside Spray & Misty Moonlight. The White layer is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and the Misty Moonlight is 3 3/4" square – a scrap I had.

Tips on the Clear Block Technique:
- Use a light color of ink
- Choose a block that fits on your card stock
- Ink it and spritz with either water or rubbing alcohol until it almost starts to puddle.
- Add a swirl of darker color with a marker after inking the block and before spritzing.
- Alcohol dries faster than water
- Add a bit of Shimmer Paint to your alcohol for additionals glitz!
- Whisper White card stock works just fine; no need for thicker papers
