Baby Wipe Technique Card Samples
In an earlier post this week, I shared another handmade greeting card using the baby wipe technique. See that post and card by clicking here. When you use this technique, you're able to stamp many different card panels to cut and use to create other cards. I can stretch the ink and get possibly 20 additional panels. This provides me backgrounds I can use at a moments notice. Today, I share several samples of other cards I made with the baby wipe technique and Stampin' Up!'s Gathering Moments and Simply Said stamp sets. I like these ideas because they are simple and easy to re-create. Details and Measurements Cherry Cobbler cardstock base...
Gathering Moments Baby Wipe Technique

(In some versions, I've substituted Old Olive._ These colors really say "fall." Then, use the inked baby wipe as a...
Spooky Sweet Gift Bag
Oh, my gosh, can you just see yourself giving some of these cut treat bags to friends and co-workers and trick-or treaters? These bags easily hold a variety of candy and non-candy treats. I originally created these little bags (inspired by the Plaid Poodle) with Stampin' Up!'s Gathering Together 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper, one of my current favorites. See that post here.

Details and Measurements Below, I offer some cutting and scoring directions. Be sure to watch the video to...
Gathering Together Gift Bag
It's not a secret that my favorite patterned-paper-of-the-moment is Stampin' Up!s Gathering Together 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. I love the foil accents and the rich fall colors. And, I love that I get a chance to use my Cajun Craze card stock. I made these for a team gathering with different papers and belly bands, adorned with a Gold Foil leaf embossed with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder. I've used this Designer Series Paper in a number of projects throughout the last month.
