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 cards with the new Perched in a Tree bundle!

    This bundle was one of my first purchases from the new 2022 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  I love this birch tree die-cut and made a bunch of these cards for an online swap last month.

    Perched in a tree swap Save

    It creates a pretty window of birch trees that can be the star of the card.  I simply sponged a bit of Crumb Cake ink over a few areas and added it to a Pool Party layer. The greeting is also from this bundle and is stamped on a die-cut from the All That dies in the Annual catalog. The angled Soft Suede die-cut behind it is also from the Aspen dies in this bundle.

    PERCHED IN A TREE BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    My friend Susie Wood sent me this gorgeous card last week.  She created a fall themed card with Crumb Cake & Cajun Craze.  I LOVE her multicolored leaf! She inked it in a lighter color and sponged Cajun Craze over the upper edges before stamping and fussy cutting it. It and the greeting are both from the Soft Seedlings stamp set seen here.

    I hope you enjoyed seeing two totally different projects with this pretty bundle!
