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?

  • Easy Pinwheel ‘Patch’ cards with video!


    Last night I featured Pinwheel cards on my FB Live 'Stamp with Me'.  I shared my method of making these easily in the video below. 

    Here's my favorite!

    The card above is made with Polished Pink CS, Pattern Play DSP, Dots & Checks embossing folder duo and In Symmetry stamp set.  I colored the white ribbon with Polished Pink blends.  

    Here's the video: 

    This next card featured Bumblebee with the 2020-22 In Color prints and the cute buffalo check (Pattern Party Hostess DSP seen on page 171). 


    Below are the cards I made featuring Sweet Symmetry DSP seen here.  It's one of 9 designer paper packs that will be on sale in July! 

    The card bases are Calypso Coral, ink and layers are Night of Navy.

  • Hat’s Off; a neat bundle with so many possibilities. Video tutorial too!


    The Hat's Off bundle was a bit of a sleeper to me when I first saw it.  But seeing what other's created with it made me buy it.  

    Once I played with it, I absolutely loved it!  See this bundle here.

    I created this card for my June card clubs.  

    I chose these colors; Gray Granite, Real Red, Crushed Curry and Misty Moonlight.  I stamped the background stars with Versamark ink.  I love the tone on tone this ink pad provides. 

    The stars are from the Stitched Stars dies and the texture is from the Checks & Dots embossing folder duo seen here. 

    Scroll down to watch the video. 

    Can you see the stitched detail on the hat and the emblem?  These dies are fabulous!  This bundle is a fabulous price point; just $35 for the set & dies!

    Measurements:

    • Gray Granite card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
      Real Red 2" X 5 1/4"
      White greeting 3/4" X 3 1/4", inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
      Misty Moonlight & Bumblebee CS for die-cuts

  • Annual HUGE Stamping Sale is Saturday!!


    Each year my customers and I host a HUGE crafting sale. We sell our excess product to make room for more; or to make money to buy more! 

    This year we have over 30 people participating and this is what is looks like!  Remember most but not all is Stampin' Up! but it is all paper crafting items.  

    This first picture is just a quarter of our 25 tables.  There's lots more inside and out. 

    It's in Minot, ND this Saturday, June 26th from 9-3 pm at 429 Cedon Drive.  People who shop at our sale are so happy with the deals they've gotten.  They never want to miss one.

    It's absolutely amazing and the selection and prices are crazy!  It's actually hard for me to see some of the Stampin' Up! products sell at these ridiculous prices.  But then again, what good does it do sitting on a shelf?!  

    Here are some photos of our set up this year: 





    If you live near me in Minot, ND I hope you can come.  If you don't, well I sincerely apologize for teasing you! 

    I hope you understand, but I cannot shop for anyone long distance.  There just isn't time as we are open for just a few hours & tear down immediately after the sale while everyone is there to help. It takes a lot of people for this sale to run smoothly. 

    *If you want to come next year we traditionally hold it the last week of June. 

    I am planning a BOGO the end of July and hope to offer my retired products online to everyone.
