Ridiculously Awesome and Baby Wipe Swipe

Ridiculously Awesome jumped out at me when the last catalog was brand new. I loved the sayings and the fonts. I was truly disappointed when it hit the retiring list. I thought it was such an awesome set that it would be around for more than a year. Boy, was I wrong.

Well, I had to use it before it was gone for good. I made these three cards (and others that have been shared before) before it retired but I am just now getting around to sharing them with you. 

To create the background on this card I folded up a baby wipe a couple of times and place several drops of Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry on it. I used this as my "ink" pad to create some other cards. When I was done stamping with this "ink" pad, I picked it up and swiped it across some Basic White cardstock, making this background. I did make this card on one of my Facebook Lives. The replay of that live is HERE for you to watch if you'd like. 


For this background I folded the baby wipe again into a smaller rectangle. I placed a couple of drops of each color next to each other and then swiped it across my cardstock in a wiggle motion. I used markers on the greeting to get it multicolored. 


This background is another baby wipe swipe. This time I did one color at a time, refolding the wipe to get a clean area for the next color. I did a Facebook Live creating this card. You can watch that HERE if you would like. 


Baby wipes can do more than just clean up your stamp room! They are pretty fun to create with too. I hope you give it a try!

Happy Stampin'!

Purple Posy

I have to admit to not using Purple Posy much until lately. I had a hard time with this color because of the lack of a stamp pad. When this color was introduced 2 years ago, the ink kept changing colors no matter what Stampin' Up! and the manufactures did to it. Stampin' Up! then decided to pull the ink pad and leave all the other goodies. I felt like I couldn't create much without an ink pad. Boy, was I wrong!

I really enjoyed working with it to create these 3 cards. I used Highland Heather ink to stamp Buffalo Check on the background and blends to color the images for this card. The flowers and boots are fussy cut. I watch TV when I'm fussy cutting so it doesn't bother me much but I know many don't enjoy fussy cutting. Sorry!


I again used Highland Heather so that I could stamp the flowers and greeting. The greeting I stamped off first so that it gave more of the Purple Posy color that I really wanted for this card. I stamped the Purple Posy cardstock first and then cut it apart for my card. I used blends to color the pearl accents. 


The Playing with Patterns designer series paper helped to make this card. I used Misty Moonlight and Gorgeous Grape markers to color on the stamp before stamping the greeting.


Good-bye Purple Posy! Enjoy your retirement!
