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. 

Which one is your favorite?

  • Hey Chuck; Artist of the Month cards. Part 1


    Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  For July it was Annette and she chose the adorable Hey Chuck bundle seen here.  You're in for a treat!  I'll be sharing her incredible projects for the next few days.  

    The card above shows that adorable rooster at it's best.  She paired it with gingham accents in Glorious Gingham DSP and our Black & White gingham ribbon. She colored her rooster with Blends markers.  

    Here's the Hey Chuck bundle she used.  The dies were unavailable for most of July; but they're back now and available!

     

    Next is a cute way to show the many rooster images in this stamp set.  The Masterfully Made designer paper set the color theme and works perfectly here!!

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"
    • DSP 4" X 4 1/4"
    • White squares 1 1/4",
    • Pumpkin Pie squares 1 3/8"
    • Crushed Curry layer 1 5/8" X 4 5/8" 

    Next is a Double Decker fun fold card!  Look at her blended background!!

    What a beautiful scene she created with her background blending and the stamps & dies in this bundle. The colors are Pecan Pie, Lemon Lolly, Old Olive and Pool Party. 

    I shared how to make one of these Double-Decker cards on last week's FB Live. You can watch it here.  

    Here's a view from the top so you can see the pop-up box that supports the White middle layer. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4", textured front layer 1 7/8" X 5 1/5", layer under scene is 3" X 4",  pop up box piece is 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" score every 3/4"

  • Earthen Textures card with video tutorial


    I made this card for last week's Live video.  I LOVE the colors and textures!  

    It features the Earthen Textures stamp set & dies bundle.  Unfortunately the dies are in low inventory so they may be unavailable soon.   But they'll be back I'm sure.  You can see them here.  

    My colors include Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie.  The designer paper for the background is the Earthen Elegance seen here.  I also used the Distressed Gold paper on the large pleated fan/leaf.  The die creates folds so you can add a lot of texture and dimension on your projects.  

    I stamped both die-cut vases in Pretty Peacock ink onto Vanilla card stock.  I then sponged Pecan Pie ink onto them.  I wrapped the tall vase 3 times with the Natural Wavy trim. I've been loving using this unique trim; it was unavailable for over a month but it's back now.  

    You can watch the video here.  Don't forget to subscribe to either my FB page here to join in the Live's each Tuesday morning.  Or follow me on YouTube here.
