The Swipe Hype

Distressing is such a great way to add texture to a project and give it an antique look. One way that I love to distress my projects is by stamp swiping. I just love the movement it gives to the stamped piece! The technique is easy to do: simply load your chosen solid My Acrylix stamp image on our clear blocks, hold the block in one hand, place the Exclusive Inks pad on your work surface, and then swipe the stamp across the ink pad. If you want to see some examples of stamp swiping like the scrapbook page shown here, watch the latest episode of the My Craft Channel online series “Clearly the Best.”

  1. This was a great video to watch. I've accidentally swiped before but didn't realize it could be turned into a technique! Awesome!

    P.S. Would love to see a close-up image of the other scrapbook page in the video next to Kristine. It's so exciting to have Close To My Heart be a part of the craft channel! :)
