Here is how to do it:
Take a baby wipe, and fold it into quarters. Add a couple drops of reinkers of 2-3 colors to the center of the folded baby wipe. Now fold the corners backwards to make yourself a little 'handle' to hold the baby wipe. Dab, pounce, or swirl the baby wipe onto either paper or the stamp itself. You can use either glossy paper or regular cardstock. Depending on how wet the baby wipe is, you can do several quarter sheets of cardstock. Also, if your brand of wipes is very wet, your paper may curl up due to the moisture....glossy paper is less likely to curl, but will a little.
I used Tidy Tykes brand wipes...they are a little drier than most baby wipes, so I was only able to do 2 quarter sheets of cardstock before reinking. [After 6 collective years of diapers for my twins, I have a small adversion to the smell and feel of baby wipes! But I can live with Tidy Tykes!]
I can't wait to see what all of you talented stampers create! There are lots of examples already in the gallery (search on baby wipes) for more inspiration. Have fun!

I have made several of these explosion cards, and they are really fabulous!
Here is mine that I just uploaded so I know it is still pending as of 12:40 EST
Thanks to Beth for posting this challenge--I love this technique!

Way cool - I've been waiting for this all morning! I'm on vacation this week so I'm stampin up a storm. I like this technique and think I need to do it again! That is really the best thing about these challenges - you learn so much!
Here it is - I had to bang it out quick before I went to get my pedicure (I love vacation at home!):
Location: In the great northwest! Is there anywhere better?

I just have to say this is horribly unfair that I can't play. :(
I haven't seen a baby wipe in 10 years.
I will have to go out and get some just so I can play.
If you don't have baby wipes and don't want to buy any just for stamping, you could try using the moist flushable wipes available for anyone to use. I think they are called "Cottonelle."
I just received a swap where someone used this technique and I couldn't figure out how she did it. Thanks for posting this challenge - I came on here looking for the directions. I only wish I wasn't at work so I could play, too!!
This was a fun technique. I didn't have any reinkers, so I used food coloring. It limits color choices, but I think they turned out OK. Here's my first one: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

This is a baby wipe card I did way back when....... I used a little different technique. I have done this on other cards also. I just dab an edge of the wipe directly onto ink pad and use a swiping motion. Works great. Nancy
Can you believe we're at technique challenge #20? This was a really fun technique (if a little messy - my hands are filthy - I picked up the wipes to swipe the glossy cardstock for the backgrounds of my cards!). Here are 2 I did tonight:
Here is one I did from the 1st VSN which seems like a hundred years ago already but it sure was a fun challenge and one I had been wanting to try for a long time:
This was so fun. I never would have thought to use baby wipes. I can't wait to demo this Thursday night for my stampin' groupies. I used metallic ink. This sort of reminds me of the polished stone technique but cleaner and less smelly without the alcohol. Thanks for the great challenge.
Here's mine from my gallery, I too used the baby wipe/inked as an ink pad and pressed my stamp into the babywipe. this card was from a stamp group I attended. I will try & come up with an original this week, but life is pretty hectic here right now... Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Thanks for looking!!
I hadn't done the wet wipes other than pressing onto the wipe with a solid stamp and transferring it to paper so this was a new technique for me.
My butterfly is what I used the technique on and in real life it looks more like marbled vellum. A very nice look! Here is the card.
I did several more yesterday with the baby wipes. Although I mainly switched to using the Cottonelle Wipes because my baby wipes had gotten too dried out.
These use the inked up wipe to swoosh across the cardstock and make a background: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
They also fit the Color Challenge for last week and one also uses Crystal Effects for the Ways to Use It Challenge from last week.
These two use the inked up wipe as an ink pad for the stamps and to swoosh or dab onto cardstock for a background. The one really looks awesome in real life, but the colors just didn't scan well. The other fits the Color Challenge from last week too. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
This final one was done with a baby wipe, but I think it was too dry, so the colors are really, really light. I just used the inked baby wipe as an ink pad for the stamps. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Well I did manage to combine TLC20 with CC18 by using old color re-inkers on the baby wipe and new color cardstock (bet you can't even tell). Here it is:
I finally finished my Baby Wipe card. I was sweating over the ribbon. Details on my description. My card is pending at 8:55p.m. PDT Should be there wed. a.m. Enjoy!
I have never done this technique before. It was kinda fun. Once I had the background done, though, it refused to cooperate with any of my ideas. So I finally combined it with this week's sketch challenge, and this is what I came up with. I like how it turned out, but it's missing something....
This is my first time with this technique and it's fun and easy. I just had a hard time trying to put it all together - what do I stamp on the background and on and on...
Ok so when I decided to try the baby wipe background I went a little bit crazy. I just wanted to see what I could come up with using different colors. Then after I had all those pieces I had to stamp stuff to go with them. I couldn't figure out how to put more than one link on here so I will just put my gallery link..just in case you want to see them. stampin4u's Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
TLC20 - Please play along! :)
