Cardmaking Technique: Baby Wipe as an Inkpad

Hello my friends! Today I’ve got a cardmaking technique: baby wipe as an inkpad; did you know you can do that?! This card technique is also fun for creating backgrounds for your handmade cards. I’ve got TWO ways to use this technique today.

Right now, as you read this I am in Orlando, Florida at the Stampin’ Up! Annual OnStage event.  That’s just a fancy name for their annual convention!!! I have seen the new Occasions catalog that comes out in January and it’s FANTASTIC!!!

I had best intentions of getting a few new videos done before I left, but life got a bit busy and, well, it just did not happen as intended.  So, I am sharing one of my favorite techniques that I posted in the past.  If you have not yet tried stamping with baby wipes, this is something you have got to try. It’s so fun and you can mix and match any colors!!!! Give your greeting cards some pizzazz!

If you are new to my blog, this post is new to you…..if you have been following me for awhile I hope you enjoy seeing it again or maybe you have forgotten about it OR maybe you never knew about the second way I demonstrate in this video and now you are ready to review give it a try!!!

Here is a video showing 2 different ways to use BABY WIPES and Stampin’ Up! REINKERS.

Aren’t these leaves beautiful??? Who wouldn’t love to get handmade cards like this in the mail?? Are you wondering how to make a handmade birthday card unique?! Try this and change up the sentiment!! Or create this for your host/hostess for Thanksgiving.

Baby Wipe Technique Instructions

• Place baby wipe on non-absorbant surface.  I just fold in half and put on my large clear stamping block.

• Select 3 different reinkers.  For this card I used:  Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry

• Place about 3 drops of each reinker on baby wipe.

• This becomes your stamp pad.  When inking the stamp,  you will want to tap it around a little bit to “blend” the colors.  (see video)
• That’s it–just stamp and create!  Look how gorgeous these colors are on the leaves!

• Check out the black “SPECKLES.”  See the video to learn how I made them!
• Make sure to stamp the inside!

Card Recipe

• Cajun Craze Card Base:  4 1/4″ x 11″
• Basic Black:  3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″
• Whisper White:  3″ x 4 1/4″
• 1/4″ Copper Trim

NOW WHAT???  You have this nice “inky” Baby Wipe!  Just pick it up and “swipe” it onto a piece of cardstock to make this fun background!  Make sure to watch the video (scroll up in this post) to see how I did it!  WARNING:  YOU WILL GET INKY FINGERS!
