Today I am sharing 2 different ways to use the Baby Wipe Technique on your cards to achieve some beautiful results rather easily. I am also super excited to have my daughter Jesi home to help me with this video. The baby wipe technique has been around for years but it’s always so fun to bring it back and get your fingers a little inky!
I have 2 different ways to show you how to use baby wipes and stamp pad reinkers in your card making. I just know you will be running out to the store to grab a package of baby wipes to play with these techniques.
We are not only sharing this fun technique with you, but we are also showing you how to use your FUN FOLD TEMPLATES! If you have been following along with our monthly Fun Fold Class, you will recognize this card idea from Volume 1.
If you’ve missed our fun fold making classes, make sure to check them out.
Baby Wipe Technique 2 Ways | Video Tutorial
Not only will the video teach you 2 different ways to use your stamp pad reinkers and baby wipes but we also have an easy fun fold card for you. It’s one of the Fun Fold Templates from our Volume 1.
I hope you enjoyed our silliness that came out while doing a video with Jesi. It is fun to have my girls home helping me share fun card ideas with you. Show Jesi a little love for her video debut by leaving a comment! (I know she will be reading them!)
Baby Wipe Technique #1 – Fun Fold Card
Let’t take a closer look at the card Jesi made….
This technique is super fun and the results will be totally different each time. I like to use 3 different colors, but you can play around using either more, or less. Just be careful that you don’t use too many and it ends up being a “muddy mess.”
This is an easy fun fold that works great with any stamps, paper, and ink. Use the layout over and over! Here are the measurements. If you made the templates from our Fun Fold Class, you will already have these measurements!
- Card Base (Crumb Cake): 7 1/4″ x 5 1/2″, score at 3″
- Card Flap (Crumb Cake): 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″, score at 1″
- DSP (left side): 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
- DSP (right side): 3″ x 4″
Then add any shape focal point. You can make this card as simple as you want, or get all fancy with lots of layers, embellishments, etc… We added a Linen Thread bow and a few embellishments.

Baby Wipe Technique #2 – Make a Background
After using the baby wipe to ink up your stamp, you can use it to make a great background. As I am creating, I like to make a bunch of background pieces and set them aside to use later. This is where your fingers get a little messy. If you don’t want the ink all over your hands, you could use some rubber gloves to protect them.
Then just stamp on top of the background with any images or greetings to create some quick and easy cards. For this one, I used the Stamparatus to stamp the greeting several times to get a really nice dark image.

Two thumbs up for the Baby Wipe technique. Heard of it, never saw how it’s done. Thanks for the tutorial. And, thanks Jesi for helping mom and getting your hands messy.
Glad you enjoyed the tutorial… hope you give it a try! It’s a fun (and messy) one!
I tried the baby wipes technique and I love it! The part where you drag the baby wipe across the cardstock is truly amazing! In fact, I just tried it today for a Global Design Project challenge. And you’re right, you can make LOTS of backgrounds… because the ink on the baby wipes lasts a long time!
Totally in love with this technique!
Thanks so much for sharing!
I’m so happy you love it! It’s such a fun technique to get a unique look!
Thanks for a great reminder show – loved it!!
So happy to hear you liked it, thank you!
Oh darn, now I have to buy that stamp set. 😊
Seriously, though, those cards are really nice. I didn’t like the leaf until I saw the baby wipe technique. Plus, I love that fun fold and the plaid paper!
The leaf is so perfect with this technique! Makes the leaf look so real life and perfect for the fall colors coming!
Really loved this card technique and the camaraderie between you and your daughter Jesi. Look forward to seeing more xxx watching you in Perth Western Australia so you really go world wide xxx
Thanks for the support all the way from Australia!
I’ve seen the baby wipe technique before. Thanks for the reminder just in time for Fall cards. What I hadn’t seen before is the messy technique. Great job, Jesi!! Hope to see more of you💗
The fingers sure do get messy, but it makes for such a great and unique background! Totally worth the mess.
Jacquie,
Is there a certain type of babywipes, i.e. with or without alcohol?
Loved watching this technique and you and your daughter stamping together!!!!
Stamping Hugs,
Charlene
Hi Charlene, this technique should work with any type of baby wipe!
Love your swipe technique with the reinker baby wipe. So much fun!! Great job, Jessie.
Glad you like it!! It is a lot of fun – along with a lot of messy! But totally worth it.
Hi,
My name is Karen an I was hoping to find measurement and instructions on how to do this card. Can I still get that information?
Thanks,
Karen Y
Hi Karen! The measurements are listed in this blog post, but here they are again. And then the instructions to assemble are broken down in the video!
Card Base (Crumb Cake): 7 1/4″ x 5 1/2″, score at 3″

What a fun fast way to color cardstock. I used gloves cuz I didn’t want dirty hands. And I found using watercolor paper worked best for me
Gloves were definitely a smart idea! Happy to hear you gave this technique a try and had fun!
