How to achieve the Inked Block Technique; you only need 3 things!

March 31, 2022

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.

Save

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.

Sweet Easter Baskets; Quick & Easy

March 26, 2021

Need a quick project for Easter? Or May Day? Or to make something fun with a child? This is it!

Save

I made these on a recent FB Live and it couldn't be easier!

Start out with a square of paper. I chose to use White card stock for the one above since I wanted to stamp my own background with the Circle Celebration stamp set. I chose to use Magenta Madness, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue.

I used a 5 1/2" square of White CS for it so I could get two baskets from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" paper. Score it at 1 3/4" on all sides. Cut up two sides and fold them up to form the basket. Add a strip of CS for a handle and something fun on the side.  Here I used the Oval Occasions stamp set.

Save

For the butterfly basket on the right I used a 6 X 6" square of Butterfly Bijou designer paper. Unfortunately this paper is sold out now. They hoped to have enough through May but we all loved it so much they ran out! I'm so sorry about that.

Save

The 6" basket is just slightly larger than the 5 1/2" basket; both work wonderfully for holding treats!

You can see the video here. It's a FB live replay; scroll towards the end to see the basket project.

On last week Tuesday's FB live I created a bunch of projects featuring the Circle Celebration stamp set in the Spring catalog. You can see it here.

Save

The Triple Time Stamping technique is when you stamp on three pieces of card stock all at once. I layered just the White pieces in place and adhere them together slightly. This holds them in place while stamping with the fun circle images.

Then you adhere them to the larger Navy card stock pieces. Watch the video below to catch my tips. It's the first project of three in the video.

I used the Tailored Tag punch and the Best Year stamp set for the greeting with a few loops of Daffodil Ruched ribbon.

Save

The colors in the card above are Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate. It is my Creative Card Color Combo last week.
