With You In Mind

 Hello & welcome,

I am back after a very busy week, but had a fabulous time at Stampin’ Up! On Stage in Brisbane for 3 days. 

I am showing another card today using the Baby Wipes Technique, as shown in a post on 4th March. When I do this technique I stamp a variety of images to be able to use at a later time as I dont like to waste the ink.

The sentiment and butterfly were both stamped with this technique. “Happy Birthday” is from the With You In Mind stamp set (#164747). The butterfly is from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set (#163490). The butterflies were cut with the Sketched Butterflies dies (#163491). The small butterfly was cut from Azure Afternoon card (#161728).

The Real Red card and the sentiment were cut with the Textured Notes dies (#165555). The Azure Afternoon card front was dry embossed with the Soft Waves embossing folder (#164695) and attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

The Real Red card was taped to the card. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment & butterfly. The small butterfly was attached with a Mini Glue Dot (#103683). The Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs (#161954) were added to the card.

Memorable Blooms

 Hello again friends,

As I write this, the wind is starting to build as the cyclone comes closer to the Queensland coast and is expected to cross the coast tomorrow night. My craft room is the most exposed so we have boarded the windows and doors, just to be on the safe side. It is very rare for a cyclone to come this far south, so we are hoping it isn't too vicious. I hope everyone in the affected areas will be safe.

I have used the Baby Wipes technique again on today’s card. Check yesterdays blog for all the details on this technique. I usually stamp a variety of images when I use this technique so I don't waste the ink I have used to create the “ink pad”.

I stamped the image from the Memorable Blooms stamp set (#164816) onto Basic White card (#159228). This was cut with a Textured Notes Die (#165555).

The Real Red card (#106578) was dry embossed with the Modern Herringbone Embossing Folder (#164908) and attached to the Basic White base card. The stamped image was attached to the Real Red card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Congratulations” from the Translucent Florals stamp set (#162243) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). The sentiment and the Azure Afternoon card (#161728) were also cut with Textured Notes dies. These were taped to the card. The Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987) were added to the card.

Baby Wipes Technique

 Hi friends,

Today’s technique is the Baby Wipes Technique to give the lovely rainbow effect on the small butterfly & the Lace image.

For this technique you need alcohol free wipes. I used a double layer and placed it in a spare stamp case. Then using ink refills I squeezed the ink in strips along the wipes as shown below. I used 5 re-inkers - Azure Afternoon (#161668), Real Red (#103287), Coastal Cabana (#131164), Peach Pie (#163819) and Daffodil Delight (#119672) and repeated the colours. This is now your ink pad.

I used the lace image from Chantilly Lace stamp set (#163683) and stamped this onto Basic White card (#159228). I cut this card and the Azure Afternoon card (#161728) with the new Textured Notes dies (#165555). I also dry embossed the Basic White card with the (retired) Softly Sophisticated embossing folder. The 2 cards were taped together then attached to the Basic White Base card.

I stamped the larger butterfly from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set (#163490) with Azure Afternoon ink (#161663) onto Azure Afternoon card. The smaller butterfly from the same set was stamped with the Baby Wipes “ink pad”. Both butterflies were cut with the Sketched Butterflies dies (#163491).

“Happy Birthday” from the Adventurous Sky stamp set (#163439) was stamped with Azure Afternoon ink, then cut with a (retired) Happy Little Things die.

The blue butterfly & sentiment were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108). The small butterfly was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The Iridescent Faceted Gems (#163368) were added to the card.

There are now new products & kits available in the online exclusives, including the Textured Notes dies,  so make sure you check them out -
