Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Laura Mackie Papercrafter: reinker technique

Stampin' Up! Gorgeous Leaves - Autumn Card Making

Welcome to our Autumn Blog hop, we

our a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from

all over the world sharing Card Making & Papercraft

ideas and inspiration using Stampin' Up! Products, you're

currently with me Laura Mackie a Demonstrator from

the United Kingdom

I LOVE Autumn cosy dark nights, the

changing of the leaves, visiting our local

Pumpkin Patch and yummy winter dinners. I love summer

but nothing beats being in your PJ's by 5pm

hehe dont judge me lol!

and in my craft room by 7pm!

Here is the card I made

This card began by creating the background,

I saw a cute card with cute Mice and

gorgeous background on

Instagram by Paper Pretty Boutique

her background was divine and instantly I wanted

to try and recreate it, and this was the outcome,

Pale Papaya cardstock with Rich Razzleberry Ink

and a Blending Brush

I then had no idea where my card was headed so reached for

a new Stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Gorgeous Leaves,

I decided to stamp some leaves, to create the leaves

I used the Baby Wipe Technique with Reinkers

to create my own custom ink pad, this

is how you get all those fab colours in one stamp!

I used reinkers in

Pale Papaya

Rich Razzleberry

Bumblebee

Cajun Craze

Crushed Curry

If you havent had a go making you own ink

pad with the Baby Wipe Technique you

definetly should, I lay two or three

folded Baby Wipes on top of each other

on to Clear Block E

then add generous drops of ink randomly!

I've tried to create the look of falling leaves, and added

a few little leaves stamped directly onto my background

My sentiment is heat embossed in white

embossing powder onto

Basic Black cardstock, Sentiment is from

the Flowers of Friendship stamp set.

Champagne Rhinestones and a bow tied in Crumb Cake

Bakers Twine to finish,

Card Base - Crumb Cake.

All the supplies I've used today

I hope our hop inspires you today and gets you ready

Welcome to this months Stampin' for Christmas Blog Hop,

we are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators

from all over the world sharing Christmas

card making & Papercraft ideas with Stampin' Up! Products

Here is what I made for todays hop

using the Stampin' Up! Snowflake Wishes

Stamp set.

To create my card I cut a Thick Basic White card base

measuring 29.7cm x 10.5cm, scored in half at 14.8cm

I then cut a Smoky Slate layer slightly smaller

measuring 10cm x 14.4cm

I then stamped lots of the snowflakes

in varying sizes onto the Smoky Slate

layer in Versamark ink which I then heat set

with Silver Embossing powder.

While I was playing I couldnt

resist grabbing some ink Refills and a baby wipe

to create the card below, Known as either

the Baby Wipe Technique or Reinker Technique.

Its a fun technique and the colour combinations

are endless and the finish is beautiful!

Inks refills used

Highland Heather, Smoky Slate,

Seaside Spray, Coastal Cabana

and Gorgeous Grape

I flicked the background again with

Frost White Shimmer paint and also with my

Highland Heather Dark Stampin' Blend

I love the result of this just taking away that

stark plain backdground, the Frost White Shimmer

paint adds a lovely

subtle shimmer which is beautiful.

Heres a close up of the splattered / Flicked Background.

Finishing my Smoky Slate card...

Once I'd heat set the Snowflakes

I then used Smoky Slate ink pad and a blending brush

to darken the 4 edges of my embossed layer,

to finish my card I flicked the embossed layer

all over with Frost White shimmer paint and also with

my Smoky Slate Dark Stampin' Blend,

Both cards I've added Basic

Rhinestones to each of the centres

of the snowflakes. and a bow tied to

the Silver embossed Sentiment layer in

Whisper White Crinkled ribbon.

I hope my cards inspire you to

make a christmas card today, Its never to early

to start making your Christmas cards you know!!??
