How to achieve the Inked Block Technique; you only need 3 things!

I shared the Inked Block technique on Tuesday's Facebook Live video.  It's fun, easy and you need just 3 things!

I chose to feature the Garden Wishes stamp set & a variety of colors. This first one is Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape & Pacific Point.

You need a clear block, Stampin' Write markers and a spritzer filled with water.  Below are the measurements for the cards.

Watch the video here to see how it's done.  It's the first of 3 projects I share.   

Tips for success:

  • Use Stampin' Write 'water based' markers on your block; do not use Blends which are permanent markers.
  • Start with the lightest color first so you don't get a dark color on your marker tip
  • After filling up the block with ink (I colored on the diagonal) spritz it with water until dots form. 
  • The more water you add the better the inks blend.  But don't do too much or the colors blend too much. 
  • Press the block directly on your White card stock and hold for a few second. 
  • Have a tissue or paper towel ready to dab up excess water off the paper. 

The Stampin' Write markers I used on this next card are Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana and Pacific Point.

The card below has a softer feel.  The colors are Pale Papaya, Pumpkin Pie & Polished Pink.

  • Thoughtful Journey Suite showcased by Judith; our Artist of the Month

    Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  This month Judith chose the Thoughtful Journey suite to showcase. 

    Today I'm sharing a few of her pretty cards. 

    May Judith diagonal Save

    This card has is a fancy fold card that has two folds. The Pretty in Pink card base is cut off at an angle and DSP is added. The White front layer is actually a folded piece that folds down over the front diagonal layer.  Very cool and not difficult either.

    Measurements:

    • DSP 5 3/8" X 4 1/8" cut in half on the diagonal

    • DSP – front is4 1`/4" X 5 1/2" and left side is 3 1/8" X 5 1/2" 
    • White inside 3" X 5 1/4" 

    Lastly today is a neat idea with scenic designer paper – add a frame to highlight the scene.

    Judith added a frame made from the Perennial Postage dies seen here. 

    A simple greeting an an extra die-cut and you're card is done.  Letting the pretty designer paper work for you is so smart!

  • Under the Moon scenic card with free project sheet & video

    Today I'm sharing the second project I made on last week's video – both feature the beautiful Under the Moon stamp set. It's a scene builder which can be so fun to create with.

    My colors include Night of Navy, Azure Afternoon, Peach Pie & Pool Party.  

    You might wonder what die the Navy shape is around the greeting.  It's from the Unbounded Love dies – it's a small greeting shape that I cut in half and added to each side. 

    The large white die is from the Deckled Rectangle dies. The greeting die and the fun Navy shaped die are both from the Unbounded Love bundle seen here.  It's one of my new favorites.

    Here's the video of the inside of these two cards.  One birthday and one sympathy – these stamp sets are both so versatile!
