Baby Wipe Techniqe

Hello everyone!  I hope this week is being kind to you!  I have a sick hubby at home, so  my week has been full of soup making, and tending to him.  Today I am sharing the second technique we learned at January's Technique Night.  Technique Night is a monthly class I offer, where we learn two new techniques, make two instruction sheets, and 4 cards.  You can see January's other technique here.

January was all about the baby wipes!  For our second technique we did the Baby Wipe technique.  Basically, you are using the baby wipe to create your own, custom, multi-colored ink pad.

Here is our instruction sheet.  I chose to use Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, and Crisp Cantaloupe for this technique, for a bright, cheery look.  The stamp we used is from the Sale-a-Bration set called Petal Parade.

This was the first card we made with this technique.  We put a sheet of vellum cardstock over the top of our technique sheet, and stamped the Happy Birthday from Another Great Year in Staz-On.  We also used quite a bit of the 3/8" Ruffle Trim.  I love the fun, almost skirt like look it gave to the bottom of the card.  My favorite thing that I learned while designing this card is that our 2-Way Glue Pen is the perfect vellum adhesive.  I went completely around all four edges of the vellum to attach it to the whisper white technique piece, and you can't see it after it dries!

This was our other card for the baby wipe technique.  For this card we used the arrow/feather stamp from the Petal Parade stamp set to make our own background.  The greeting is from Lots of Thanks.  I am in love with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, available only during Sale-a-Bration.  It has such a fun, simple background.

I have included a full supply list to recreate these projects below.  You can shop for these items day or night over on my Stampin' Up! website.That is all I have for you today!  Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great day!
