Have you ever done the baby swipe technique? It's so fun; playing with baby wipes and ink refills is a bit addictive!

I made this card for our March Team swap; the theme was to use a technique involving ink refills.

Save

My colors include Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink and Black.

Other products used:
- Potted Succulent dies for the greeting die-cut
- Dainty Delight dies – black die-cuts
- Penned Flowers dies for the scalloped edge
- Brass butterflies seen here
Save

Can you spot the shimmer? I used the Pearlescent paper from the Annual Catalog. See it here.

It was the perfect sheen for this technique as the moist ink did not absorb quickly like it might for regular card stock. Glossy paper would also work well.

After I added the color, I let it dry for an hour or so. Then I textured it with one of the embossing folders in the 3D Basics pack seen here. These are currently out of stock but they'll be back in May.

Save

Below you can see the difference in my cards; especially the colors. One is soft and subtle and the other more vibrant. This happens as you work with your baby wipe; the first few swipes are bold and the next few are much softer.

Tips for success:
- Fold and roll your baby wipe in a tube. Hold it tightly and add a few drops of ink refills.
- Add each color separately in a row. I tend to add enough for about 1/2" of surface.
- Start swiping off your paper and then onto it. You can do straight swipes or get creative and add curves or swirls. Let dry.
- Shimmery, pearlescent or glossy works best. But you can do it on regular card stock too.
- I suggest you use light to medium colors.
Save

Notice the colors of the butterflies? I colored the Brass Butterflies with a Polished Pink blends marker for the left card. I wasn't sure I liked it or not so left them uncolored for my swap cards.

Watch the video here or click on the image below to see this technique. It's the last technique I share in the video.

Regency Park with the Baby Wipe technique!

March 29, 2023
During March our Flowerbug's Team has been focusing on using re-inkers. I hadn't played with the 'baby wipe' technique for awhile. I chose the Regency Park suite when creating this cute card:

Save

It might not show up well here but the White greeting die-cut is 'caught' and held in place by the larger die & the outer two corners of flowers. These dies fit together perfectly! *you can see the dies in the photo below; the bottom most label nestles into the largest one with flowers on two edges.

Here's the Sentimental Park bundle as well, with the greeting & die-cuts. This bundle was one of my first purchases from the Spring catalog and I've used it a lot!

Save

The other bundle in this suite is the Petal Park bundle seen here. It includes the stamp set & coordinating flower punch. I used the solid flowers on the middle right for my baby wipe technique and added the outline flowers (top right) in Black.

Save

I had a die-cut dotted background piece (from Dots & Spots here) among my 'extra's and thought it would work well for my background.

Save

What supplies do you need for the Baby Wipe technique?
1. A baby wipe or two
2. At least 2-3 colors of ink refills
3. A stamp and card stock
Success tips for the 'Baby Wipe' technique:
- Choose colors that work well together. I tend to choose 3 of my favorites like yellows with pinks, blues with greens, purples with blues etc.
- Pick a stamp with a solid image; lots of rubber. An outline image will not show your colors well.
- Fold the moist baby wipe into an ink pad; I use at least 4 layers.
- Drop multiple drops of each color in each area. For example – 4 drops of yellow, move over a bit, 4 more drops of yellow etc. Then fill with the second color in the same manner. Fill in any empty areas with the 3rd or last color.
- When inking your image stamp it in your 'baby wipe' handmade ink pad multiple times, trying to keep it in the same place as much as possible. Moving the image around too much can muddy your colors.
- Huff the image and stamp!
Here's the inside of my card; I added a few more of the multi-colored punched flowers.

My colors include Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody.
