Regency Park with the Baby Wipe technique!

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?  

1. A baby wipe or two
2. At least 2-3 colors of ink refills
3. 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.

  I asked my Flowerbug's Team what the best part of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrators is.  I loved hearing their thoughts!

  • Discounts on stuff I would want to order anyway! 
  • Getting to see and order from new catalogs before everyone else!
  • Ordering what I want, when I want at a discounted rate and getting hostess goodies.
  • Social gatherings with friends & meeting new friends is a bonus!
  • I like that there's no pressure to sell, sell, sell. If you are motivated (and there is support to keep you motivated) the sky is the limit. But if you are in it for the joy of a creative outlet you have support for that too! Supportive upline and peers.
  • In no particular order: discount, first glance at catalogs, meeting with and creating with new friends, lots of support for taking your business where you want to go.
  • My favorite perk is discount with early sneak peeks, but I love the friendships made, with the help, support and sharing of ideas amongst each other.

  If you have a big wish list and/or place regular orders you should REALLY consider joining my Flowerbug's family so you get a discount off everything you purchase! 

   

  The starter kit is only 99.00 and FREE shipping, and you pick out 125.00 in Stampin' Up! product of your choice, PLUS just for June you can add on ANY Bundle for free! That's HUGE! 

  You also get a FREE Paper Pumpkin kit (valued at $21), free catalogs (8 each of 2 different catalogs) and other business supplies like order forms etc.  Look!

• Jar of Flowers Double Flap Fun-fold card with video!

  June 26, 2020

  ---

  The Jar of Flowers bundle is pretty neat and easy to create wonderful cards with.  We made these cards at my June card clubs.  It was sooo great getting together with my gals again. North Dakota is open to events again but we are still being cautious too.  

  Save

  You can really see the details on the card in this close up view.  That neat texture is the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  The colors are Misty Moonlight with Bumblebee and the In Good Taste designer paper. 

  There are sooo many wood, texture and patterns in this big pack of In Good Taste paper.  It is amazing!  Here's a good view of this paper.  

  Save

  Here's another version of the card using the jar and water image but the flowers are from the Tasteful Touches stamp set.  This card was for those who didn't want to color. We added punched flowers using the Confetti Flowers Border punch seen here.  After punching we added a dot of Navy ink for the centers. 

  Save

  For this fold all I did was trim off an inch from the card front and add a flap that is hidden by the strip of In Good Taste DSP.  This flap is what the front panel is adhered to. Watch the video below! 

  The cards are finished off with a greeting from the Lovely You bundle – this is one of my favorite bundles!  I love the Pick a Punch and the Lovely You stamp set is full of wonderful greetings. 

   

  Measurements:

  • Bumblebee card 5 1/2" X 7 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    In Good Taste DSP 1" X 5 1/2"
    White – front and inside 4 1/8" X 3", scrap for greeting is 1/2" wide
    Misty Moonlight 3 1/4" X 4 3/8", flap is 1 3/4" X 3 1/2" scored at 1/2"
