Baby wipe hydrangea

For this card, I revisited an old technique: the baby wipe technique. It's so easy to forget about these older techniques as we try out all of the new things that come along! I love how this turned out! When I created my baby wipe ink pad, I used mostly Baja Breeze with Marina Mist and just a few drops of Concord Crush. The secret to a good stamped image here is to make sure all of your ink drops are touching on the baby wipe and to really press the stamp into the baby wipe for a few seconds. I also used the same baby wipe pad to stamp the little flowers onto the card base.
I saw the looped ribbon border on Barb Mullikin's blog and decided to try it out. Punch the scallop trim border and then loop narrow taffeta through the scallops. I like it, but I think I need to loop the ribbon a different way to make the ends look better.
Supplies: Stamps: Because I care, Teeny Tiny Wishes; Paper: Baja Breeze, Marina Mist, Concord Crush, Wild Wasabi; Ink: Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Concord Crush; Accessories: word window punch, scallop trim border punch, Marina Mist narrow taffeta ribbon
Happy stamping!

Card set

Here's a set of 4 cards I made using Baroque Motifs and the baby wipe ink pad I talked about earlier this week. The colors I used were Regal Rose, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Elegant Eggplant. Each card is a white card measuring 5 1/4 X 8, scored at 4. The card is backed by a piece of colored cardstock measuring 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 (standard card size). The swirl image is stamped on the white cardfront. The center image is stamped onto white, cut out and matted on a Rich Razzleberry scallop circle. The center image on each card has a brad of some type in the center (either a Regal Rose brad or a rhinestone brad). I added some ribbon to each card. Because none of the cards has a sentiment, they can be used for any occasion or just for a note. They would make a great gift, and I'm going to make a holder for them. Look for that next week.

Happy stamping!

One Sheet Wonder

Have you ever made a one sheet wonder? A one sheet wonder is one big piece of cardstock that you stamp with multiple images, like making your own sheet of patterned paper. Then you cut the sheet into pieces and use them on multiple projects.
For this card, I used the baby wipe stamp pad from Monday's post(Regal Rose, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Elegant Eggplant) and Best Wishes and More to make a one sheet wonder. I filled in with the little stamp from Baroque Motifs in Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry.
Supplies (all SU): Stamps: Best Wishes and More, Baroque Motifs; Paper: Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry; Ink: Regal Rose, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Elegant Eggplant; Accessories: Rich Razzleberry grosgrain ribbon, baby wipes
