Shaving Cream

Colleen used this technique a while back in one of her classes. This is technique that has been around for awhile & used a lot by those who are a regular with either Close To My Heart or Stampin' Up. Give it a try.. it's easy & sooo much fun. You'll be hooked & the hubby will be out of shaving cream!



Supplies needed:

Shaving cream
2-3 Dye inkpad re-inkers
Wooden stick (or something like it to mix/stir with)
Container (We used a washed meat tray)
Cardstock
Paper towels



Step 1.

Fill your container with shaving cream and use your wooden stick to smooth it out a bit.


Step 2.

Add several drops of each of your re-inker colors to your shaving cream.

Step 3.

Mix shaving cream and re-inker in a swirling motion.
Step 4.

Continue to mix until you like the design/swirls you see.

Step 5.

Press your cardstock into the shaving cream. Make sure the card front is completely coated.

Step 6.

Pull cardstock out of the shaving cream.

Step 7. (optional)

Lay another piece of cardstock on top of your shaving cream covered one. Press together then pull apart, giving you two shaving cream coated pieces of cardstock.

Step 8.

Take a paper towel and wipe away the shaving cream in a swirling motion.

Step 9.

Let dry.

Step 10.

Finish your card/or use for background paper. Either layer an image on top or stamp directly onto the background for cards. You can also use this for matting your photos or background paper for scrapbooking! Have fun!
