Ink Drip Technique Cardmaking Tutorial

October 25, 2025 2 Comments

Hi friends! I’ve got another great video to share with you today, and yet another technique inspired by the fabulous Andy Skinner. If you recall, my last video was the Stamp on Paint Technique — and I’m still blown away by all the kind comments on that one, so thank you! 😊

Well, today I’m back with another Andy-inspired gem — the Ink Drip Technique — and oh my goodness… this one is SO FUN. It’s beautifully unpredictable, organic, dramatic, and the results are different every single time. If you love loose, artsy, painterly techniques, then I promise you are going to enjoy this one!


So let me just tell you… once I started playing with this technique, I didn’t make one card… or two… or even five. I made over FIFTEEN cards because I simply could NOT stop! That’s how ridiculously addictive and FUN this technique is! 😂

The first time I filmed it, the video ended up over two hours long because I just kept going — drip, dry, stamp, repeat! I finally said to myself, “OK Tina, pull it together!” So I decided to create a full class (more on that below!) and refilm a shorter video for you, where I made FOUR more cards. Oh. My. Goodness. This technique is just too awesome.

Here’s the full video so you can follow along and try this technique at home:

In today’s video, you also saw a little peek at several extra cards I created using this same technique. Well… I’ll be honest — I got completely HOOKED on the Ink Drip Technique and I just couldn’t stop creating! 😂 Because I had so many ideas, I decided to put everything together into one complete step-by-step resource for YOU.

If you’d like to keep playing with this technique alongside me, I’ve created a full Ink Drip Technique Class, where we’ll dive even deeper with more tips, variations, layouts, inspiration, and creative ideas you didn’t see in the video.

On that note, my friends, I’m off to spend the evening with my hubby and a good movie. He’s been just a wee bit neglected while I’ve been hiding out in my craft room, making these cards, filming videos, and putting this class together. 😂 I secretly think he doesn’t mind one bit though — when I’m in full crafting mode, he gets the remote all to himself and can watch whatever he wants on TV! LOL!

Until next time, HAPPY STAMPING and big hugs!

I joined Stampin' Up! the first night they arrived in Canada, April 2002, and what a ride it's been! At the time I just wanted the discount on all of the fabulous stamps and accessories - why pay full price if you don't have to, right? But little did I know where my journey with Stampin' Up! would take me. Read More…

    Tina, I love your blog even more now that you are independent. Following SU Demos has been a source of inspiration for me these past few years, but also caused me to buy far more stamps and dies than I really need. I’m realizing that my enjoyment of crafting is now clouded by a sense of pressure or maybe even guilt that I have bought so many things that I’ve yet to use. The products are great, don’t get me wrong, but there will always be great new things coming out and I will drown under the deluge of them all if I don’t stop buying. Now, you’re all about “use what you have”, and I find that we have a lot of the same things or similar things, so your projects are inspiration without pressure or guilt! I will be spending more time watching your videos and being inspired by what you create. Thank you!

      Oh AnnMarie, your comment just made my day — thank you so much for that. I know exactly what you mean. I’ve been there too, feeling like I had to have every new thing that came out, and somewhere along the way it started to take the joy out of creating.

      That’s why I’m loving this new season of just using what I already have — it feels so freeing, doesn’t it? There’s so much satisfaction in pulling out an old favourite and giving it new life. I’m really happy my projects are inspiring you again without the guilt or pressure.

      Thanks for being here and for all your support — it truly means the world to me. 💖 xoxo
