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.

  • Darling Donkey’s Birthday card

    The Darling Donkey's stamp set (seen here) is one of the most popular sets in our Sale-a-Bration promotion right now.  So I chose to use it for my card clubs in January.  We made this cute but easy card: 

    Darling Donkey Jan Save

    The colors are Pool Party, So Saffron and Black.  That cute designer paper is called Flower & Field and is also from our Sale-a-Bration promotion that runs through February.  See it here. 

    FLOWER & FIELD 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    Both are free with any $50 order!  I love Sale-a-Bration where we can earn free items with an order.  

    Sale-a-Bration traditionally runs through March. But this year it's one month short because they're offering another one in July & August!! So we actually get an extra month this year!

    Measurements:

    • Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • So Saffron 2" X 4 1/4"
    • Flower & Field DSP 3" X 5 1/2"
    • White die-cut 2 1/2" X 4" 

    I used the Balloon Bouquet punch with this DSP for a quick accent.  I glued the Black & White twine down with liquid Multipurpose Glue.  The donkey is colored in with Blends markers.

  • Striking cards with Pretty Perennials with True Love DSP

    If the True Love designer paper hasn't caught your eye yet look at these cards:  

    Pretty Perennials True Love.. Save

    I paired it with the Pretty Perennials stamp and dies bundle for a recent FB Live.  I used Bermuda Bay, Real Red and black. Simple Stamping at it's best!  No die-cuts or punches either!  Sometimes it's fun to just stamp and layer.

    You can see the measurements below. I try to share the printed list in my videos so they're easy to jot down.

    Lastly here's the stepped-up card I made using heat embossing and the Perennial Petal dies.  See the Pretty Perennial bundle here.

    I also used our new Blending Brushes to add color to the white flowers.  Love these so much!
