skipping stones design tip/technique hop


Welcome to the Skipping Stones Design Tip/Technique Hop, I sure hope you have enjoyed what everyone has shared! I am the last stop on the hop is you have started on the Skipping Stones Design Blog, if you din't be sure to start there and hop around. Heather is giving away a free stamp set to one random persons comment. You have until Wednesday, September 16 at 5:00 PM EST to comment.


I have used the Skipping Stones Design stamp set Breathtaking Butterflies, Healing Wings, and Birthday Purses.

word art wednesday: anything uplifting goes



Now, let's talk about the tip I am sharing, I have used Avery File Folder Labels to label my ink pads with the exact color for better viewing and choosing. 


I cut the label in half down the middle, turn it over and press on the side of ink pad and lift. 


It puts a neat color swatch on the label and then I write the name of the ink of there too and adhere to the ink pad.


I store my ink pads upset down so the ink is always to the top of pad and not in the bottom. So quick, easy, and cheap; it makes the inks looks sooooo gorgeous! Add a little glimmer to your life....sparkle & shine!

  12. I also label my ink pads with a color sample so I can easily choose my color combos. Makes it so much fun when I know what I'm using! Your card is just gorgeous with the layered flowers and splatter background!

  13. I don't have very many ink pads yet so I can keep pretty good track of the colors but this is a good tip for the future. When I saw your beautiful card I thought that it was like jumping into a cool pool on a hot day! Love it!
