BABY WIPE STAMP PAD TECHNIQUE - AN OLDIE BUT A GOODY!

Hi Stampers!

I enjoy trying new stamping techniques, but I also enjoy using techniques that have been around for a while. Today’s technique is one of the first I learned when I started stamping over 15 years ago. The baby wipe stamp pad technique is easy to learn, and lets you create a uniquely colored ink pad for your project. 

Here are some cards I created using the baby wipe stamp pad technique:

The feather image was stamped using Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, and Sahara Sand inks. The subtle color variation provides some depth and dimension as well as a monochromatic look.

The feather image is from the TASTEFUL TOUCHES stamp set. This stamp set is featured in the Stampin’ Up!®️ 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

BABY WIPE STAMP PAD TECHNIQUE

SUPPLIES:

* Ink Refills; 3-4 colors

* Silicone Craft Sheet, Clear Block (I recommend Block D or larger), a plate, or other non porous surface.

* A baby wipe - fold it in half twice.

HOW TO:

1. Add 8-10 drops of one color to the baby wipe.

2. Do the same with the second color.

3. Do the same with the third  color. If you have chosen a 4th color add it.

4. Use you baby wipe stamp pad just like any other to ink up your stamp.

5. Stamp the image as usual.

6. If you are stamping a background panel, continue stamping until the panel is finished.

7. Use the stamped image / panel on your card.

For a more noticeable color differentiation use a very light color, a medium shade, and a dark shade. Below is a card I made using Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, and Gorgeous Grape for the floral images, and Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves. I used the HYDRANGEA HAVEN stamp set found the Stampin’ Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

This technique is easy and the “stamp pad” will have enough ink to make several cards. I hope you give the baby wipe stamp pad technique a try.

That’ all for today. Thank you so much for stopping by.  Until next time…

Stamp Happy!
