Today’s cards were made using baby wipes, Stampin’ Ink Refills and the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. This technique is super easy and you’ll never get the same results.
I made these cards while I was staying at my mom’s and I didn’t have all the colors of ink refills that I wanted but I did have Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight so I went with those two colors. Ideally I would have liked to use Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry. I took four baby wipes and folded them in half and then placed them on a non porous surface. Then I started adding drops of ink refill all over the wipes. This acts a stamp pad! Then I inked up the leaf stamp into my homemade stamp pad and then stamped it onto Basic White cardstock. I did add additional drops to get a deeper color. It’s all experimental and there’s no right or wrong way to do this technique!
I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut the leaves “out” and tried using a variety of cardstock colors and embossing folders. For the card above, I used the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Basic White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze ink using the stamp set, Soft Seedlings. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the leaf piece before adding it to the card. I also used Iridescent Rhinestones on all four cards..
For this next card, I used Cajun Craze cardstock for the base of my card and again used the Scalloped Contours Dies.
This next card has a Daffodil Delight card base and I used the Twigs & Springs Embossing Folder (which also comes with a die).
For this last card, I used a Cajun Craze card base and the Twigs & Springs Embossing Folder.
I hope you’ll give this technique a try! I’d recommend picking three colors and go for it!

I want to say thank you for the outpouring of kind words for the recent passing of my brother in law, Steve. All of your emails, cards and comments have meant so much to Mark and I. We knew we would lose Steve but as anyone who’s lost a loved one knows, it’s hard to be prepared when it actually happens. We’re still in shock that he’s gone. It’s part of life to lose loved ones and something we’ll all experience but it’s never easy. Words of kindness and understanding are very appreciated during hard times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Before Steve, passed away, I had been working on card kits to include in orders $50 or more so let me explain all about them. But, first, I want to say that I very much appreciate every single order placed through me. Unfortunately mail costs, like everything else these days, is quite expensive. When I have a “special” where I will be mailing something, such as card kits, I limit it to orders $50 or more to help offset the cost of the mailings but ALL orders are very much appreciated!!!!

If you live in the U.S., Happy 4th of July!
Today’s card was made using Rings of Love 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. This is a Sale-a-Bration product you can earn with a $50 purchase! I absolutely love these little birds and I knew I wanted the least amount of birds to be covered up!
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I added a piece of Rings of Love Designer Series Paper to a piece of Night of Navy cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Before adhering it to the card base, I wrapped White Baker’s Twine (included in the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack) and wrapped it around the two layers, twice, and tied a bow. Then I added adhesive to the back and adhered it to the card base.
I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Night of Navy ink using the new stamp set, Soft Seedlings (I love the font style of the sentiments in this set). Then I cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies and I cut a larger circle out of Night of Navy cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together and then added two Stampin’ Dimensionals at the top of the Night of Navy circle and two at the bottom ( I do this so that the dimensionals aren’t sitting on the twine). Super simple card but if you have a great Designer Series Paper, your card doesn’t have to be complicated!
