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.

  • Adorable Poppin’ By card swaps

    Today I'm sharing 3 adorable cards made with the Poppin' By bundle from our latest Online Exclusive release.  

    Candace made this amazing fun fold card for our May team swap:

    She folded her card front into a box and added lots of sponged popcorn and the cute box on the lower front.  Note his sunglasses & shoes!  They're part of the stamps & dies bundle. The corrugated card stock on the front mimics a box so well.

    Do you see the window sheet strips on the two pieces of popcorn coming out of the box? They flutter when you move the card. She also added a 'wobble' to the top piece of popcorn.  Love this so much!  

    Here's the Poppin' By bundle – stamp set & dies.  So cute! See it here:

    I received a few cute popcorn cards with my Disney swaps.  

    This first one is made by Marcia Besecker.  She added so much detail to her card!

  • Back from Disney World – the 2024 Stampin’ Up! incentive trip

    We had a wonderful time on the Stampin' Up! annual incentive trip to Disney World.  We got home late last night and even though we hoped to have a restful trip we were quite exhausted. These North Dakotans were not ready for 96 degree heat!  

    I'll share a few of our favorite photos today and more of Stampin' Up! products tomorrow. 

    This is what we saw on the TV screen when we arrived to our room: 

    Welcome Save

    Below is the view from our room in the Grand Floridian Resort at Disney World:

    Welcome Save

    This basket was found in our room at the end of the first night there.  A super neat felt basket (that folded flat) filled with some of our favorite snacks & beverages (a survey was sent to us last fall).

    The beautiful nightly fireworks we could see from our resort. We spent many evenings at the outdoor cafe visiting with our friends and enjoying them.
