Card Making: How to use a baby wipe as an ink pad!

Yes, you read the title correct…we are going to be card making using a baby wipe as an ink pad!!!  I have an easy technique to share with you that uses your stamp pad re-inkers along with baby wipes.  This technique has been around a long time; I think I remember doing this about 20 years ago!!!!  But it’s always fun to bring it back out as I know a lot of people have not tried it.  And it’s perfect for making fall colored cards!

We are using a new stamp set from the Holiday Catalog called BEAUTY & JOY.  I think it’s a little hidden gem that I missed the first few times I looked at the catalog.

First I made some pretty quick and easy cards using note cards and a little bit of designer series paper.  And then, I played around some more and stepped it up bringing in the stitched rectangle dies (my fav!) and some layers and a little more “stuff.”

Now, let’s take a look at the cards:

The above were made using the Note Cards & Envelopes that I often use since they are quick and easy.  I added a little coordinating color strip of Designer Series Paper from the 6 X 6 color collections, and BAM–DONE!
