Regency Park with the Baby Wipe technique!

March 29, 2023

During March our Flowerbug's Team has been focusing on using re-inkers. I hadn't played with the 'baby wipe' technique for awhile. I chose the Regency Park suite when creating this cute card:

It might not show up well here but the White greeting die-cut is 'caught' and held in place by the larger die & the outer two corners of flowers. These dies fit together perfectly! *you can see the dies in the photo below; the bottom most label nestles into the largest one with flowers on two edges.

Here's the Sentimental Park bundle as well, with the greeting & die-cuts. This bundle was one of my first purchases from the Spring catalog and I've used it a lot!

The other bundle in this suite is the Petal Park bundle seen here. It includes the stamp set & coordinating flower punch. I used the solid flowers on the middle right for my baby wipe technique and added the outline flowers (top right) in Black.

I had a die-cut dotted background piece (from Dots & Spots here) among my 'extra's and thought it would work well for my background.

What supplies do you need for the Baby Wipe technique?

A baby wipe or two
At least 2-3 colors of ink refills
A stamp and card stock

Success tips for the 'Baby Wipe' technique:

Choose colors that work well together. I tend to choose 3 of my favorites like yellows with pinks, blues with greens, purples with blues etc.
Pick a stamp with a solid image; lots of rubber. An outline image will not show your colors well.
Fold the moist baby wipe into an ink pad; I use at least 4 layers.
Drop multiple drops of each color in each area. For example – 4 drops of yellow, move over a bit, 4 more drops of yellow etc. Then fill with the second color in the same manner. Fill in any empty areas with the 3rd or last color.
When inking your image stamp it in your 'baby wipe' handmade ink pad multiple times, trying to keep it in the same place as much as possible. Moving the image around too much can muddy your colors.
Huff the image and stamp!

Here's the inside of my card; I added a few more of the multi-colored punched flowers.

My colors include Polished Pink, Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody.

Window cards!

July 7, 2020

A few weeks ago on my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Live we made window cards. I called them that because I punched or die-cut a window in the front to reveal the greeting below. Here's one version:

I chose to use the pretty Flowers for Every Season designer paper for this card. There is such a wide variety of patterns, colors and styles in this pretty paper! For the card above I used the Tasteful Labels, the Medium Daisy punch and the Lovely You stamp set.

Here are all three cards I made to get them started. I post the cards, measurements and supplies list a few days before the 'Live' so they can prep and gather their supplies. Or if they cannot stamp with me Live, they can just make the cards using my ideas. Check it out here.

Save

For the card below I used the Forever Fern stamp set in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Crumb Cake.

I punched a 2" circle from the White layer and added a die-cut from the Tasteful Labels dies.
