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.

  • The new Swirled Designs bundle is super fun!

    I had to point you to the new Swirled Designs bundle in our newest Online Exclusives release. It has the neatest sets of dies and stamps in it!

    Save

    See what I mean? The extra layers on the dies make them super playful and the stamps will be great for stamping backgrounds. Basic shapes like ovals and stars are something we’ll always use for multiple occasions.

    Look closer at this card made by Stampin’ Up! I love when we get new product that’s unique and we haven’t seen before.

    Save

    See what I mean? You can use the stamps to add the details to the inside of the die-cut shapes like above. I just love this card! See this bundle here.

  • The Branching Out bundle is retiring! Check out this fun fold card with video tutorial!

    We made this card earlier this fall and I realize I haven’t shared it with you yet. I also made a video too – scroll down….

    Save

    The colors include Pecan Pie with Crumb Cake, Early Espresso & Shaded Spruce. I used various wood-like designer series papers for the side panel. See how it has a double fold?

    Also notice the ‘white’ snow on the pine boughs plus snow in the background. You can achieve that without heat embossing. We used White Craft ink and stamped over the pine. Easy & a fun accent!

    Save

    The stamp set is retiring but the dies are not. The bundle is on the last chance list now. Click here to see it.
    It’s been one of my favorite products in our Holiday catalog this year. It’s timeless and can be used for fall, winter or Christmas!

    I’m glad the dies are not retiring but I have to say the stamp set is among my top 5 favorites!

    Below is the video tutorial which gives you tips on stamping the branches with the pines and pine cones.

  • Easy Holiday cards made from tags! Free project sheet & video tutorial.

    I look forward to receiving my Paper Pumpkin boxes each month. November’s Wrapped in Cheer kit featured holiday tags and I couldn’t waste an opportunity to make cards from them. I need a lot more Christmas cards than I do tags!

    Save

    I didn’t change the tag from the original except for the linen thread bow at the top. But I did add it to a Basic Beige textured layer and then onto a Cherry Cobbler card base.
    Now that is an easy card!

    Save

    To create the colored leaves inside the card I used the empty piece of paper from the kit where the leaves had been removed. I’m always looking for easy ways to add to the inside of my cards.

    Save

    There were two different tags in this kit. Aren’t they pretty?

    I used the embossing folder called Traditional Wreath 3D folder; it can be seen here. It’s discounted and available while supplies last.
    *The greeting is from the stamps in the kit.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and more information on Paper Pumpkin.
