Hello my stamping friends. Today I have card for you featuring the shaving cream technique. This is a messy technique, but you can make really cool backgrounds with it. I got my shaving cream at the dollar tree so it was really inexpensive 😁. You start out with some shaving cream (enough so that it's bigger than your layer) and add 2-4 colors of reinker. You randomly add a drop all around your layer of shaving cream, alternating the colors. Then you take a knife and swirl the reinkers into the shaving cream creating a marble effect. Lay your cardstock layer on top of the marbled shaving cream and tap it down into the shaving cream. When you pull it off of the shaving cream, you will have excess shaving cream. Take a paper towel and dab it off of the cardstock. You don't want to rub it or else your marbled colors will become one solid color. Once you have the excess shaving cream off, let it dry and then cut it down to 3¾ x 5. Save the scraps for the inside of the card. For these cards I used Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather reinkers. I show you how I made these cards in the video below.
Measurements:
Highland Heather: 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½
Gorgeous Grape: 4 x 5¼
Basic White: 4 x 5¼ *2
Flowering Zinnias DSP: 1½ x 5
Blackberry Bliss: 2½ x 3¼ cut with the Greetings of the Season dies
Silver & White Sheer Ribbon: about 9"

Hello my stamping friends. My next couple of videos will be about different stamping techniques. Today's post includes baby wipes. This is an oldie, but goodie. Take a couple of baby wipes and fold them in half. Add 2-3 different reinkers to the baby wipes and you now have a multi-colored stamp pad. Today we are just using it to add color to a border, but you can use it with your stamps as well. I have the supplies and a video below for you.
Measurements:
Basic Black: 4¼ x 11 scored at 5½
Coastal Cabana: 4 x 5¼
Basic White: 4 x 5¼
Basic White: 3 x 4 for stamping
Basic White: 1 x 5¼ die cut with Elegant Borders
Black & Very Vanilla Large Check Ribbon: 6½" & 4½"
The complete supplies list can be found HERE and I have the video below.

Hello stamping friends. I am back today sharing the cards we made in my May card class. I do an in-person class once a month and they usually make 3 different cards. For May I had a request to do a One Sheet Wonder so I used the 2024-2026 In Color designer paper and had them request a color with their RSVP. I did the die cutting for them to save on time and I show you in the video how I packaged them up. I also had two samples made up so that each table had a set of 4 to work off of. It ran really smooth and they were done with their cards in about 2 hours. I made a template for each stamper and asked them to bring their paper trimmers as they cut their own designer paper. I have that template for you as well.
I have the measurements for each card below along with a picture of four of the colors. I used Shy Shamrock, Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Petunia Pop. (sorry Summer Splash, I didn't have an extra kit for this color).
