Ink and Drag Technique

Hi Beauty~

I hope you re having a wonderful day!  I have had a busy week, but I had to take time to show you this ink and drag technique.

It literally is a gift card/credit card type card that is placed on an ink pad and dragged across the paper.  I found this technique while looking into bible journaling.  I tried it on my planner and I felt it turned out just beautiful. 

 

Then I wanted to try it as a quick and easy card. 

 

It worked so well, that I had to share it via a card swap with all my Stamping WeStamp group (we do a monthly swap).  So I quickly made 11 cards and I couldn't believe how fast and easy it was to make this greeting card.  So I decided to a show and tell video to show you exactly how fast it is to make a handmade card.

Wasn't that fast and easy?  If you decide to try this technique, please share it with me via Instagram @JeanPiersanti or #BeautyandtheStamper

Quick & Easy Backgrounds for Handmade Greeting Cards

Hi Beauties~


Did you get a lot of Christmas gifts that came in bubblewrap?  I did, so I wondered if it would make a cool textured background for my hand made greeting cards.  The answer is yes!!!  I was so excited to see what a great background turned out.  First I tried it with ink refills and that came out way too messy and dark (too much ink).  Then I tried it by running it through the Stampin' Up! Big Shot in a sandwich bag.  That came out real nice.  I also tried it with the bubblewrap wrapped around a clear block and that came out just as well as the one I ran through the Stampin' Up! Big Shot.  So I decided that would be the one I showed you.  Very quick, very easy and such a great texture!  Here is the card I made along with a short video how to of how I did the background.
