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.

  • Beautiful Fall card swaps!

    Look at these stunning swaps made by my Team.  Our theme for September's swap was autumn cards. 

    Annette created this first one using a innovative sponging technique

    I'm sure you cannot guess how she did this …..! 

    It features the Welcoming Woods stamp set seen here. She used a variety of colors like Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Misty Moonlight.  

    Here's how she did it: She gathered up a sheet of plastic wrap and dabbed it in ink a few times.  Then she dabbed it horizontally across her stamped image piece.  With each color change, she re-rolled the plastic wrap & blended the previous one a bit to achieve a beautiful sunset look.

    She added some of the leaves from the stamp set to the inside as well.

  • Gorgeous Leaves paired with the Timber embossing folder

    Today I get to share two cards made by my talented Team members who used the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves bundle seen here.  I shared a bunch earlier this week as well. Click here to see them. 

    First is a beautiful card made by Marilyn.  Her colors include Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Old Olive & Crushed Curry.

    It's hard to see in this photo but after she stamped the background she ran it through the die-cutting machine with the Timber embossing folder.  

    Her die-cut leaves are darker than the normal hues since she sponged the corresponding color over each one.  Neat effect! 

    Measurements: 

    • Crumb Cake 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5" & Stitched So Sweetly die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 5/8"
    • Vanilla 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" & 2 1/8" X 3 1/4"

    Next is a lovely card made by Deloris. She also used the Timber embossing folder seen here. 

    She also added a strip of the Cork specialty paper.  This paper can be found in the Holiday catalog on page 55.  It sure adds a neat touch to autumn or men's cards!
