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.

Happy Valentine’s Day! A Sweet Treat Pouch; easy gift!

February 14, 2020
Here's a super neat way to give a treat to a friend. My friend Marilyn made these for her club gals this month. Many of my gals like to make something special for their fellow club members when they are hostess. I love seeing their creativity!

Save

Isn't it cute? It's made from our clear envelopes! I think it's super clever. She found the idea online and changed it up so it opens at the bottom; no need to destroy the pretty topper to get to your treat!

The card stock and From My Heart designer paper are 'inside' the envelope. You can adhere your candies with mini glue dots to stay in place.

Watch the Facebook Live video replay below. I made one adding a nice big cookie. I placed the cookie in another clear envelope and inserted it into the outer one. I just checked it and it's still soft a few weeks later!

Save

Details:
- Clear envelopes – get 50 in a package for $6. See them here
- Card stock topper is 3 1/2" X 5" scored at 2 1/2". Rounded with the Detailed Trio punch
- From My Heart DSP topper is 1 1/2" X 4 3/4", bottom two corners are rounded
- Card stock inside the envelope is 4 1/4" square
- Designer Series Paper inside the envelope is 4" square
- Be sure to have the opening at the bottom for easy access to your treat!
- Stamps are from Little Ladybug, Heartfelt, Butterfly Gala, Stitched So Sweetly
- I stamped directly on the punched heart above; it's punched from the From My Heart Specialty Designer paper!
- Heart Punch Pack

Newest 5 sheet wonder with Positive Thoughts

February 13, 2020

I knew the Positive Thoughts stamp set would be perfect for a one sheet wonder but it's even better with my 5 Sheet Wonder!

Save

What is a 5 sheet wonder? See the templates above the cards here? Those are the 5 pre-measured templates you use for the layers on each of the cards. Absolutely no measuring here; just cut on the printed lines! My husband and I have created multiple 'wonders' with printed layers to make card making easy. See them all here.

The neutral 'one sheet wonder' template is what you stamp on, creating your own patterned paper. First you'll print the template on it then flip it over to stamp on. The other 4 templates are colored 'layers' for your cards. Cut on the printed lines for perfect layers!
