Hello everyone! I’m excited to be joining Simon Says Stamp in a blog hop featuring their Beautiful Days release !
VIDEO
I have a video that you can check out down below or HERE on my Youtube channel.
My card today is doing a fun inky technique that I learned from Jennifer McGuire over at Online Card Classes during their Stenciled 2 class. It includes water reactive ink, a stencil and a baby wipe!
This is the card I’m featuring in the video. It is using the Chunky Knit stencil and Rustic Wilderness Distress ink. It’s suggested to use a super dark ink which is why I chose Rustic Wilderness.
Look at the fun reactive pattern the stencil leaves when run through with a baby wipe!
I added the Leafy Sprig in the center die cut from 110 lb white cardstock.
For the sentiment, I foiled one of the sentiments from the Reverse Sisters sentiment strips using Champagne Deco Foil. Normally, I use these strips as is, which is black but I thought it would be fun to foil it up. I’m showing how to do this in my video.
This next card is one I create previously and sent in to Simon Says Stamp. I used the same technique and supplies except for the color of ink. I believe I used Lucky Clover for this one .
This is such a fun technique and works great with any stencil!

Great new release and card using that awesome stencil.
I like the simplicity of the card. Great movement with that stencil, and the green die cut makes a statement. I like that this can be for male of female cards (Is there such a thing LOL?)
Wowzer, Mindy!!! I will have to pop over to You Tube so I can give your video a big THUMBS UP! I love everything about the technique and the card. I already have the Distress inks and the new pick from SSS, but now I have to have that sprig die too. Great job!!
Great ideas, thanks. Such pretty cards!
Absolutely love your cards!
Mindy, I don’t see my comment I left earlier, but I tried to click on the link to order the sprig die and it didn’t work. I was able to click on your link under the YouTube video, so it’s in my cart! Love, love, love this card and technique!
Love your stenciling on these projects! That chunky knit stencil looks like it would be a good buy for me; I knit and crochet, and I love the look of that knitted texture. I bet I’d get a lot of use out of it. I loved seeing what you’ve done with it!
Stunning cards! What a great technique.
Love the choice of green ink color you used. Amazing results.
I’m LOVING that chunky knit stencil and the special baby wipe technique you used.
What a fascinating technique. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video. I learned a few good tips today.
Wow! Great technique to try. Thanks for sharing.
I love how you used the chunky knit stencil! I signed up for Stenciled 2 also, but haven’t had a chance to work through it – now I know I’ll need this stencil!
Beautiful cards, Mindy!! ♥️♥️♥️
These are beautiful!
Great use of the chunky knit stencil – so creative!! It really adds to the beauty of the white leafy sprig.
Beautiful cards. This technique is amazing! Thank you for sharing Mindy.
This card is really stunning, Mindy. It’s so simple and yet very striking! Can I just say the green ooze had me thinking of celery juice which, in my honest opinion, is just nasty!! 🙂
Always love your inspiration thanks for sharing
Especially love the teal one
Hola, Mindy! What amazing cards!

This is so cool! I love the look of this.
Love this card! The stencil is already in my cart.
