Ink Swipe Technique Card Technique Tutorial

Do you enjoy learning new technique that you can use in your projects? I know I do and fall is a great time to dust them off and use them since they can create a wow factor to your projects. So today I’m sharing a Ink Swipe Technique that I recently shared with my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers at our October Team Meeting.

This technique is quick and simple to do using some of your favorite colors for fall. And why not pull out that Very Vanilla card stock too? I love using this card stock during the holidays as it has a warmer less bright feel to it.

Want to see how I created this card? Check out my video tutorial and PDF.

Loveliest Tree Ink Swipe Technique Card & Technique Book Page PDF

Not only does my PDF contain everything you need to create this card, it also has a fun technique page for a technique book you can build to keep the tutorials in.

I don’t know about you, but when I first started stamping I kept every card as a reference, which was silly since I should have been using them! These technique book page is something I share in my classes just like the card sketches. So why not join me for a class and learn some fun new things?

More Amber Autumn

Today’s card shows off both sides of it’s Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper (165882) with a simple fold.

The images from the Amber Autumn Stamp Set (165883) have been colored using Stampin’ Blends for a bold look and instead of using the traditional Memento Tuxedo Black the image has been stamped in Early Espresso Classic Ink.

This Joy Fold Card has a bit of a twist. Instead of using the card stock as the left side of the card as is traditional it uses the layer of Designer Series Paper instead. Open the card and it shows off both lovely patterns.

Simply take your traditional card base and adhere the 6″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Designer Series Paper that has been scored at 4″ onto the card front. Then add your focal point panel (a piece of Old Olive card stock that measure 6 1/2″ x 3 1/2″; scored at 3 1/4″) to the card front as desired. Open the card base and you still have a large area for your message too. Cool right?

Did you know that you can use our Classic Inks when coloring with our Blends? Since they are water based you can use any of the Classic Pads to customize your look, why not give it a try for your next project?

If you enjoyed this little twist on the Joy Fold card why not try it for a card you’re making? I love swapping with my fellow demonstrators and learning new little things like this so I can share them with you!

Don’t forget to stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a fun tutorial with you that is perfect for fall!

Label Me Grateful

Fall is here and the leaves are turning quickly creating a wonderful pallet of colors on the trees here in North Georgia. How about in your area? But the cooler days and nights make me this fall so today’s card is celebrating this new season.

This card uses the fun Label Me Grateful Bundle (Online Exclusive 166112) which is filled with wonderful sentiment and coordinating images for this time of year.

And this card was inspired by the creation Stampin’ Up! shared with us. Don’t you love being able to CASE (copy and share everything)? And why not change it up a bit to suit you and make it yours like this card does?

This card uses not only the Label Me Grateful Bundle (Online Exclusive 166112), it also uses the wonderful Need for Tweed Designer Series Paper  (Online Exclusive 166144) a pack of paper that is filled with tons of texture making it perfect for this project.

More texture has been added with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder (164049) in the background and fun little embellishments that include Linen Thread (104199) and Pressed Flower Motifs (165215).

Wonder how the sentiment was created? It’s simple stamp your sentiment onto a strip of card stock the height you’d like and then run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss using the Die to coordinate with the die cut Designer Series Paper. Yep, it’s that simple to create those wonderful sentiments for this project.

Rustic Crate

Today’s cards use the Rustic Crate images for Autumn. This set is one of those with lovely images and sentiments that you can use through the fall, winter and even spring. Simply switch out the image that fills the crate or use it on it’s own.

Today’s cards use the fall image on it’s own. This first card teams up two of our In Colors, Copper Clay and Pebbled Path.

The Artistic Mix Decorative Masks (159178) add a bit of interest to the background and the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim (161637) adds a bit of texture to the card. And this next card has a more traditional autumn color pallet.

Stampin’ Blends have been used to create bold color on the image and a bit of color has been added to the panel using our Blending Brushes (153611). A bit of the Burlap Ribbon found in our Combo Pack (160386) has been used to add a bit of texture and the crate image has been stamped in Pecan Pie to create a tone on tone back drop.

Gathered Wheat & More

With the cooler mornings and the hay rolls dotting the fields I think of the fall harvest. So today I’m sharing some lovely cards with you made with sets from our Mini Catalog for the fall. My first swap card that I’m sharing with you uses the Gathered Wheat stamp set (159841) from page 51 of the Mini.

This stamp set not only has a coordinating die set (159842) it also contains some wonderful sentiments that can be used for different occasions.

These next two cards use the Hello Harvest Bundle (159644) from page 50 of the Mini. This first card is a fun easel fold and uses Stampin’ Blends to add color to the images.

And this next fun fold card teams up the die with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder (159847) and Stitched Greenery Die (155451). Don’t you love how all our products work together?

The beautiful gold foil pumpkin has an embossed design that is built into the die and it picks up the foiling from the Festive Foils Specialty (159536) paper. Beautiful, right? And this final card is another fun fold.

This card uses the Good Feelings stamp set (158737) and the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper (Host 159913)

So simple, but a bright and cheerful thank you card.

Feeling a bit more like fall? Well ready or not here it comes, this year fall equinox falls on Thursday the 22nd.
