Greetings!
Today's card features a technique that gives every card a unique coloring, called the baby wipe technique. As you can see this technique works equally well for images and messages.
Today's project features the Simply Succulents bundle. Notice the gorgeous label die that is part of this bundle! The rectangle die with the beautifully detailed stitched edge is from the Nature's Thoughts dies.
Soft, Colorful and Beautiful!
Here's how stamping with baby wipes work. I layered two baby wipes and then saturated them with drops of Stampin' Ink Refills. Here's the photo of what it looked like and the colors I used.
Notice the ink colors used appear much brighter on the baby wipe compared to the more subtle colors they are on the actual card.
I inked and stamped using this baby wipe for a total of 14 images and sentiments, so one inked baby wipe goes a long way!

Assembly Tips & Techniques:
- When inking baby-wipes, press the stamp onto the baby wipe so you can see how large of an area you need to fill with ink to ensure all edges are inked. Make sure all areas are covered so there are not white spaces.
- Score card base as noted above and fold so the tall peak is at the back. Your two peaks should measure 2-3/4 and 2" high.
- To adhere vellum to cardstock without adhesive showing through, I cut the tear and tape adhesive strip in half. This produced a thin strip that easily fits under the decorative stitching around the border.
- When attaching the framed piece, make sure that the top edge sits no higher than 5-1/2 so that it fits inside your envelope. An easy way to measure is to place the bottom edge of your card base at the zero line on your grid paper and place the top of your feature framed piece on the 5-1/2 grid line, center side to side, then press onto folded peak of your card base.
- To wrap ribbon with no exposed edge, apply adhesive on cardstock under the area that the label will cover. Press one end of ribbon onto adhesive, wrap around back, and press other end onto adhesive on front with a slight overlap. Press firmly. Snip off excess ribbon.
- Adhere label over ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals.
