Today’s tutorial on SCS is a spin on a basic technique: Striped Baby Wipe. I called it Striped Wipe for short.
that I shouldn’t show.
For my sample I used Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango and Pacific Point reinker.
I added stripes of these reinkers on my folded baby wipe and swiped it over my 3 7/8″ glossy white cardstock square.
The grass from Inspired by Nature was stamped in (are you ready for it…are you sitting down) Eggplant Envy! No…I felt fine, but my friend Cheryl dared me to. And guess what? I think I like the dark purple on this card.
The glossy cardstock was layered on a 4 1/4″ square of Eggplant Envy cardstock and the edges were paper pierced. Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon was tied around the bottom.
For the sentiment I stamped one of the sentiments from Inspired by Nature set in Eggplant Envy on Whisper White cardstock and punched it out with the new wide oval punch. That was layered on a 1 3/4″ Pacific Point circle. The Eggplant tab on each side was made by punching a label with the Designer label punch, cutting it in half and taping one half on each side of the Pacific circle. (I saw this layering somewhere and I can’t remember who did it. I apologize for that!)
I added a large Filigree Designer Brad to the top left of the sentiment layers and attached it with a Ruby Red Brad. The sentiment layers were attached to the image layers with dimensionals. Then I adhered the image layers with dimensionals to the 5″ square Tangerine Tango card base. Last I added a dotted border with the white gel pen to the card base.
I made a card for another variation of this technique. Unfortunately there is something like TOO MUCH KIWI. So…if you are brave enough to check out the card LOL….click on more:
I feel really daring showing you one of the cards that I usually wouldn’t show. LOL
I do like how the background came out, but I could not make it look quite right. I tried all of the colors I used as card base.
For this background I folded the baby wipe in triangles, added the ink refill and then twisted the baby wipe. Next I unfolded the baby wipe and pressed it down to the glossy cardstock for a Batik/Tie dye look.
Okay…enough staling. Here is my “There is a Thing as too much Kiwi card”:

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
love this! it looks like a sunset at the beach! i’m going to have to try this technique. thanks!
No such thing as too much Kiwi – it’s kind of yellow,and we all know how I feel about yellow:)
No way! I love them both! What a great technique!
Oh my, I love that top card. Makes me feel as if I were sitting by a lake at sunset. There seem to be so many techniques that use re-inkers, I think some time I will have to get a few just so I can play.
Oh my goodness, this is fabulous! Talk about inspiration; I can’t wait to give this awesome technique a try. Thanks so much for sharing.
I think it’s cute, and I love to see you embracing your inner purple!!! 🙂
Oh WOWWWW, this looks like a fun technique. Looks fantastic!!
WOW! this is absolutely gorgeous, i have the new SU reinkers and all i need is some baby wipes and i’m ready to go =)
Both cards are fabulous!! I want to try!!! Glossy cardstock here I come! Thanks for sharing Beate!
I checked out the tutorial, so simple yet so cool!!!
Oh my gosh…both of these are soooo pretty and amazing!! Love, love, love them!!
What a fun technique!
I’m not sure what you see wrong with your Kiwi card…I’d be thrilled if I came up with something that cool! LOL! Girl you crack me up! I’m going to get some baby wipes tomorrow…no time today but I WANT to try this look!
Cool technique! I actually like the tie-dye look very much! Not too green for me, but then again, I do love green… The pop of red is very nice. 🙂
Love how you highlighted the Hi with the circle punch, too. Can’t do that with the “bonjour” (French version), but I did use my Word Window punch to use only that word on my Club project for tonight. (To be posted on my blog later.)
TFS!

Your sunset card is absloutly lovely! Good for you using purple!!! Its a nice color, tho I will admit sometimes its hard to work with.
I think your Kiwi card is fine too, but I know what you mean…the first time I did the shaving cream technique I used Old Olive refill with an Old Olive card and it just looked gross! haha!
Beate, beide Karten super schön.
Wunderschöne Stempel hast du benutzt und diese Technik sieht genial aus…;-) Die erste Karte erinnert mich an Sonnenuntergang… TRAUMHAFT!!!!! Always! Liebe Grüße…
ach…;-) Ganz herzlichen Glückwunsch zu sooo vielen Besuchern auf deinem blog…
Ich kann sie verstehen…;-)
This is such a cool technique. I will have to try it. Love that filigree brad, too! 😀
Love the sunset card and even though the other one is green what is wrong with it?
WOW ~ Stunning! Totally GORGEOUS!
Beautiful Beate!!!
I LOVE this set!!!
…and I LOVE the purple too!!!
I love both cards, Beate. I’ve never tried this baby wipe technique. I love using glossy paper, so I should try it out. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! This is beautiful! I’m going to have to go check out the tutorial so that I can learn how to do it. Amazing!
I can’t wait to get inky and try this. Beautiful results, thanks for making this look so easy!
Way cool Beate! You did an amazing job with this technique! Hugs, Deb
I absolutely love how you used the top of the grass on your card….genius !!!
What a marvelous background, Beate! Love the depth!

These are awesome Beate! I can’t wait to try this technique!
I love BOTH of these cards – even the one with “too much” kiwi! *wink* This technique looks like fun – and I certainly have lots of baby wipes… lol. I’m afraid of brayering but I think I could handle this… 🙂 Thanks for another great tutorial on SCS!
This is so cute!*!* The colors look beautiful together..
Thanks for sharing!!!!
SaVaNnAh~
Oh, I love the colors of your card. I had to give this technique a try this afternoon…posting tonight:) Thanks for the inspiration. Enjoy your day
I think both cards are delightful! And I love the technique – used it on my SCS WT card today!
I like the Elegant Eggplant for the silhouette color; sometimes black just doesn’t do the trick!
Both are really pretty!!
I love that “too much kiwi” card *laugh* …. the batic dye look came out great!
Absolutely beautiful, Beate! Both cards are just fantastic!
Beate, thanks for going to all the trouble of publishing your tutorials for us! they are awesome- YOU are awesome! I actually tried this tutorial yesterday (twice)as soon as I saw it and I LOVE it. What a neat look- I am so glad you showed me how to do this. I will try it again and again.
Ohh I really like the “too much kiwi card” It’s so bright and cheery. What if you used a white ribbon instead? Would that tone it down so you liked it better? Love the background technique… waiting for some reinkers….
TFS!
