Love to Craft Challenge Blog; July Challenge


The challenge at the Love To Craft Challenge Blog (LTCCB)as always is Anything Goes. For this month, I decided to make some cards using the Baby Wipe technique.

The technique is to create your own ink pad. To do this, you need to drop ink on a folded baby wipe. I used five different reinkers in fall colors and dropped ink around the baby wipe closely together.
I know it doesn’t look like much but wait until you use it. I used three different foliage stamps and stamped randomly on two white pieces of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2” cardstock.

Then I used a neutral ink pad & dauber to add shading around the edges

Once I did that, I cut those pieces into 2” and 2 1/4” strips. I matted each with different colors and adhered to the card fronts.

I stamped two different sentiments, added twine and some Nuvo drops to complete each card. I love them so much. I love the variety of leaves when making your own ink pad - so pretty!

I used three stamps in my Nature stamp drawer. If you are a regular follower of my blog, I’m working on a new series called “Bash Your Stash”. Click on the label on the right to see more posts. Can you believe this is the first time I used these awesome stamps!?! Yup...keeping ‘em!

Now it’s your turn, create and link a project of any kind to the LTCCB site before the end of the month.

  1. I am so glad I popped over. Your cards are Gorgeous! Love that you should how you did it with the inks. I have never tried that before. So neat. I love the sentiment that you used on your first card. I wish I had that to make my Mom a card. She has been so down because of the virus. Thanks for sharing your pretty cards. Happy Day to you!
