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?

  • A cute Spooky Halloween cards


    I created this special card using the Spooky Halloween suite. I absolutely love this scene!

    I used the largest circle die in the Spotlight on Nature dies to create the mask around the large moon. I blended Petunia Pop ink onto a piece of White card stock. Then added the yellow die-cut moon. Next I sponged Secret Sea ink on the upper portion of the card.
    Lastly I added a curvy hills (cut with a scissors) and the die-cut house and fence pieces from the bundle.

    Check out those sparkly stars and die-cut bat! I heat embossed the word ‘spooky’ with White embossing powder and then colored the embossing purple with a Blends marker.

    You can see this neat bundle here.

    It includes 10 projects with photos, directions. a supply list and measurements for each project. You can see this suite here.

    I created a card I want to share with you. I think it’s beautiful!

    My colors are Black, White & Gold. I used multiple sheets of the Modern Christmas Designer paper. Notice that some of the trees are raised. I fussy cut a section from the designer paper and added it over a die-cut circle of another set of trees. I layered that onto a Black die-cut circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies. Finally I added one of the new gold hoops around it all. Tip: adhere the gold hoops with tiny dashes of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Works great!

    I hope you like this card; it’s one of the free projects included in the free PDF tutorial for anyone who orders from me in October. Click here to order!

  • Easy box to gift or store cards in with free project sheet


    I’m thrilled to share this fabulous box to gift or store hand made cards in. It starts with a box from our Kit Collection. They’re sturdy and look what you can do with one!

    I shared how to make this on last week’s Live video. I know many of you have purchased kits from Stampin’ Up! and hopefully have a few of these saved. The inside organizing sections are made with the thin card board from our designer paper packs. Recycle!

    I created a free project sheet so you can replicate this at home. I truly hope you do! Click here to download or print this project sheet and also watch the video below to see how it’s made and see my tips for success too.

    The photo above shows the two sets of cards I made with the Gathering Moments stamp set – 2 sets of colors too! Which do you prefer?

    Here’s the other version of the box I shared:

    Below is the video where I shared how to make the 5 at a time cards shown in the box and the box itself.
