I love the swipe technique and especially liked swiping in a Chevron pattern since that is such a trend right now.
ReplyDeleteI left a message on Facebook and Claudia Brawley is my closest consultant. I would use this to create shapes and use them as embellishments on scrapbook pages. I also love the idea of making smalleer background to anchor stamped titles made with the alphabet on pages.
ReplyDeleteI plan to use the swipe technique on Christmas cards. It looks like lots of fun :)
ReplyDeleteI just love this technique, right now I am working on Christmas and halloween cards, i would use this technique in them.
ReplyDeleteI love that swipe technique!
ReplyDeleteClosest consultant to me is Kathryn Cunningham!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun technique. :)
ReplyDeletewow....the swipe technique! Love it.

A great new technique I've got to try...
ReplyDeleteI love the swipe techniques! So cool to use on cards or LO's for a nice textured effect!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't find the swipe hype video, but it looks like a great technique! Melanie Brown is my CTMH consultant :D.
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the Swipe Hype and then schedule and found the video. Hope this helps you.

DeleteThis technique would be awesome to use on my cards. Congratulations on the 3 lucky winners too.
ReplyDeleteLove how easy it is! I would use it on a title. Maybe a beach page
ReplyDeleteI just recently saw this technique and I love it. The movement it gives and the "less than perfect" feel would fit in for any distressed works. I also think doing an up and down motion or the "V" version on large leaves would give some texture. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteclosest consultant is Trisha Rodriguez.
ReplyDeletelove how youc an make a distressed look with it!
ReplyDeleteI shared this giveaway as well (facebook.com/itmakestotalcents.ctmh.com)
ReplyDeleteI shared this on facebook and said how easy it is
ReplyDeleteShared the video and technique on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/betseylou
ReplyDeleteFantastic, who would have thought? I think I will try this for my next class, the students are still pretty nervous about making stamping "mistakes" so I think this might just help put them at ease!!
ReplyDeletegreat technique. I liked the cheveron motion stamp technique, will have to try that. I would like to do that in different colors 2-3 alot of motion would look great,
ReplyDeleteDawnRI
will share on face book using the video as my shout out,

I also tweeted about this cool technique.
ReplyDeleteDawnRI
I guess it's more about what COULDN'T you do with such a fun technique! I'll be trying it for sure.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun technique that's super simple to just step up stamping! I would totally do this with any solid stamp on my scrapbook pages and my cards! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI shared the link to this video on my FB page.

ReplyDeleteI love this technique for titles. I shared this on facebook.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a simple technique I can't wait to show all of my friends!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll try it on some solid pumpkin stamps!
ReplyDeleteI located myself because I'm a CTMH consultant!
ReplyDeleteI love this latest technique video. The stamped letters being swiped added so much visual interest, so that it appeared to be patterned paper. Way cool! I tweeted and facebooked this info. today, as well. http://www.scrappinbliss.ctmh.com/
ReplyDeleteOh yeah this is a wonderful technique! I can so see myself using this technique on shabby chic projects and Tattered projects, something you want to make look aged. I think that it would best work with stamps that are solid or block type, an image that has hardly no lines in it. I could be wrong tho and I'm going to try with all types of stamps. Can't wait to try it actually, I'll be starting a project this weekend and plan on trying it then.
ReplyDeleteI have just shared this on Facebook = )
ReplyDeleteI went to Close To My Heart find a consultant web page and they could not find an exact match for my address but rather found about 5 matches I believe and I will share all five names:
ReplyDelete1. Sharon Quella
2. Patti Schmitz
3. Julie Ott
4. Marge Shuppe
5. Mary Kay Knoll
So I have a choice when I decide to make a purchase.
Suggested consultant is Anne Hayden

ReplyDeleteThis gives new dimension to the alphabets instead of a solid color. Now you could create letters that look weathered looking, like wood or scratched. These ideas would be great for a mans page, camping, outdoors. The possibility is unlimited.
ReplyDeleteI really like this technique. It's simple, but I like the gradated interest it gives to page and card headers. I have some bold solid flower stamps that I'd like to try this on because I think it would give the look more dimension. In fact, it might be interesting to go a bit further and wipe (swipe) off the ink on different items rather than just the stamp pad. I wonder what that might do? :)
ReplyDeleteShout out to my local CTMH consultant, Desiree O'Leary in Monrovia, CA. I got an order just today that had the Cricut Artiste cartridge in it (among other things). Woohoo!
great video and technique, soooo many things I want to try this on!
ReplyDeleteGreat technique. I'm planning to use it to add some spook to my Halloween layouts.
ReplyDeleteMy nearest CTMH consultant is me, Rebecca Brown!
ReplyDeleteAlso just shared with the world on Facebook. Good luck to all!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is classy! I can think of so many ways to use this dimensional technique. And I thought I couldn't learn anything new and fun! Thanks for sharing. My closest CTMH consultant is Morgan Vogt.
ReplyDeleteJanice Zakis, South Elgin, IL
What a cool technique and so easy! I'm going to have to go give that a try on my next card!
ReplyDeleteI thought the swipe technique was great! I'll definitely be trying it. Would love to win the stamp set. Sheila sbkzb@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be using the swipe technique to make my cards and pages stand out even more!
ReplyDeleteAwesome technique!
ReplyDeleteThe swiping technique would give a wind-blown look.
ReplyDeleteThe closest Close to My Heart consultant is Dee Spitler
ReplyDeleteOf course I shared it on Facebook! Love the acrylic stamps!
ReplyDeleteI love the swipe technique for titles, especially of "action" pages!
ReplyDeleteI shared on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteMy closest consultant according to the locator is Jennifer Manning.
ReplyDeleteGreat technique! I'd use it for titles for those many action shots I take of my kids (soccer, running, Tae kwon do...). Love the feeling of movement this technique allows - thanks for the tip!

Wow - I have been stamping for a while and have never heard of or seen this technique - thank you for demonstrating it for us! I think it looks great on the alphabet stamps! I have some clouds and tree tops that are full coverage stamps and I think this technique would work so well to give some more interest to my cards. Can't wait to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteMy closest CTMH consultant is Pegge Harris!!!
ReplyDeleteI would use the swipe technique to make cards! The fabulous Amie Kiger is my consultant!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the idea of the swirl swipe. That could be used on waves, trees, sky. Lots of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteLove this technique, can't wait to try in on my layouts.
ReplyDeleteI shared on Facebook!
ReplyDeleteThis is cool, I would like to try some type of 'swirling'. Would have never thought of doing this! Thanks CTMH!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great technique to add to my card-making skills!
ReplyDeleteMy closet consultant is Niccole Kulig
ReplyDeleteShared on FB.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a cool technique, it would look great on outdoor layouts.
ReplyDeleteI loved the technique, I would use it for making cards!
ReplyDeleteGreat technique! I would use Swipe Hype to create tone-on-tone background paper for cards and 3D paper projects because you can take one solid stamp and create many subtly different looks easily.
ReplyDeleteLoved this episode. I loved the technique and would definitely use it on my scrapbook pages and cards.
ReplyDeleteI loved the chevron technique Monica demonstrated! I can see this gracing my boys' pages to show the constant motion they are always in.
ReplyDeleteFacebooked and Tweeted!
ReplyDeleteMy closest consultant is Trisha Morton :)
ReplyDeleteI would use it to do the title on my next page!:)
ReplyDeleteWow! I had no idea that you could add so many great textures to stamped images just by moving it around on the ink pad! I could see using this to make titles for layouts about my daughter doing horseback riding or playing volleyball to echo the movement! TFS!
ReplyDeleteI posted on facebook about the series and gave details about this week's "swiping" episode (as Ruth Suttie Gauss.) I'm really hoping my crafty friends check it out!
ReplyDeleteNanette Gudenkauf is the consultant who lives closest to me.
ReplyDeleteI am huge into creating mini albums about family moments because as my son is now in high school it's all about taking each moment by moment before I become an empty nester. The other thing is my son is always on the move so a stamping technique that carries that theme throughout my mini albums is very close to my heart! Thanks for sharing this technique. It is sure to become a favorite in my current albums.
ReplyDeleteI love using the "swipe" technique! It reminds me of a chalkboard look. I like using it with letters and words the most in my cards and layouts.
ReplyDeleteI shared it on FB and tweeted about the giveaway! https://twitter.com/Lauraleelien/status/246661598096269312
