[@terriconrad4612]

Gotta go and swink now! Never thought I’d be a “swinker”..... but hey! I’ll give it a go! Very fun ! 💕🙋‍♀️

[@LaurelBeard]

HAHAHA, yay! SWINK AWAY!

[@CatLady16]

I never knew how much I needed "Swinking" in my life!!! Thank you for being so much fun and showing such new and innovative card design ideas!!

[@LaurelBeard]

You are so welcome!

[@lyndahill468]

Jiggly swinking, lol! Thanks for the giggle this morning. Love the video and tfs.

[@LaurelBeard]

Jiggly swinking for my jiggly body, lol!!

[@lyndahill468]

You made me swiggle 😉

[@sylviecarpentier5008]

Je viens de vous découvrir et j’en suis très heureuse. Votre dynamisme me fait du bien et vos trucs vont me donner confiance dans mes propres créations. Merci et bonne continuité ❤

[@aprilwoosley1342]

You're energy is amazing! I'm not a card maker or scrapbooker but I could totally use this swinking technique and of course the jiggy swinking too for visual journals. You crack me up!

[@dianeloughrey7808]

This video is exactly why your tagline is perfect.

[@LaurelBeard]

And thank YOU for the tag line!

[@MitchCarsonOfficial]

I was not knowledgeable about this area of creativity. Thank you for the easy-to-follow methods.

[@LaurelBeard]

HAHA, thanks Mitch.

[@ThingsIDoful]

Something new for me. LOVED IT! Thanks for sharing

[@bertas-cards]

Love both videos. Laurel you are too cute. I will be posting my swinking, swiping inking fun.

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Loved your video! Must have a go at swinking,looks so fun!

[@annwittrock2298]

Love your videos and your silliness!

[@sgrenis]

Thank laurel, love swinking and your designs. It reminds me of another technique with wax crayons. Color sand paper with a heavy layer of wax then iron on to paper. You can get 1-3 prints this way.

[@TRoth858]

You are not only mega creative, you're a hoot! I found you last night, and I am so bloody happy abt it. I love that you create amazing cards with minimal supplies, cause not everyone has the money to have a bazillion stamps, dies, etc. I am going to have a go at swinking Christmas cards. Thx so much! Have a fab weekend! 🤗

[@BettyBrett]

Great term .... Swink really is my maiden name!!!

[@LaurelBeard]

Love the “SWINK”!

[@glorialoungeway1138]

Those are great backgrounds! And awesome cards you made with them. Had done a little of the pad to paper, but you have a lot of other great ideas! Thanks!

[@LaurelBeard]

Thanks Gloria!

[@fernzazzetta4651]

Loving the “stinking” 🤣 Thank You for sharing your ideas Laurel 👌🏻💕🐨🌺

[@craftandseewithlaurab1870]

Hi!! New subbie as of today and this is already my 2nd playlist. I'm in total AWE of your talent!! I do have a question regarding the sealing spray onto the slick surfaces; do you apply that before the stamping?

[@vscards884]

Love making up my own words!

[@lisadelong1455]

I never thought I would become a swinker, but hey your only young once. Lol. I love all these backgrounds you created, even the ones you got ziggy with. Lol. That very first one you did with the white ink dots, I thought it would look great just framed as it. Kind of abstract or organic art. I wish I could find a Harry Potter stamp set. If anyone knows where, please give me a shout-out. I love how all your finished cards came out. Also love your sense of humor, we need more of it these days! Oh yeah that sentiment about eyes popping out, I cracked up. So appropriate right now.

[@LaurelBeard]

I wish I could find that harry potter stamp too, but i guess the company went out of business... Grrrrrrrrr

[@craftyourwaytopeace]

LOVE this & I'll definitely be "swinking" this weekend🤣🤣

AWESOME SWINKER. Thanks from Australia

[@kayfunden5545]

Love it

[@junesefscik5801]

I love this technique and going to give it a try. I did not see the link come up on the screen for the blending blushes from Amazon...and I looked at your list of supplies and didn't see them there. Can you forward me the link? I've looked at some, but really want to be sure to get the ones you are using. THANKS

[@LaurelBeard]

OOps, i forgot to link them. I updated the list - but here you go. They are awesome, and come in different sizes. smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FAH2KDW/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&tag=laurelbeard-20

[@zoedoodle]

I've done some of this and it does turn out well I think. I didn't find a link to the finish you used. Would Ranger Distress Glaze work?

[@LaurelBeard]

I updated the supply list, I had forgotten to link it. I'm not sure about the glaze. It acts as a sealer right? BUT it isn't a spray so if you blended it onto your panel, it would smear the ink...

[@mandy.austin]

Oh yeah. It would be the perfect swink companion, just swink your groove thang (your dauber or distress embossing ink pad) right over the page.Distress glaze is translucent so great idea.

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Getting swinkie with it! 😂 I’m glad this technique has a proper name. Lol! Love it!

[@lisascountrycreations334]

What ink are you using for the dots?

[@mgknow]

This is too cool ... thinking I’m ready to Swink 🤓

[@LaurelBeard]

Yay!

[@TedMattos]

"I swink, therefore I am." LOL

[@liliyakamala2348]

Well with a bit of winking its A- okey to go Swinking around. I bet that with a bit of zest ,pzazz and zting it will catch on and like a stamp ...cling

[@LaurelBeard]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

[@marybethcully5883]

Stinking away…added a littte jiggy too!🤣

[@juliemiller0618]

Great video! Can you tell me the source for the rainbow stamp? Thanks!

[@LaurelBeard]

It's is from Ellen Hutson and was a freebie with purchase. I am hoping it gets offered at some point!

[@Nika-sq5dm]

Do you use normal white cardstock or watercolor or other specialty papers when swinking (lol), especially when adding water droplets?

[@Nika-sq5dm]

Especially wondering what type of paper to use for jiggy swinking... gosh, that is fun to say! 🤣

[@LaurelBeard]

If you are using little bits of water (like droplets) I use regular cardstock! :)

[@Nika-sq5dm]

@@LaurelBeard and for jiggy swiping?

[@karenblackburn7453]

Wondering, do you use a color wheel to choose which inks you’ll use?

[@LaurelBeard]

I use it for everything!!!! ink colors, watercolor colors, what I wear, lol

[@Dotalina33]

Really cool! I’m running to my artroom to swink away! Love the sentiment “ hugging til the eyes pop out”. Where do I find that? Thanks so so much for the cute vid!

You can click on the link in the supply list that's in the description and its there for yoU!

I think I'll just slink away here to fo some swinking

[@LaurelBeard]

LOL! YES!

[@fionnawheatley9095]

I have to laugh...swinking is cute, but does sound a little “dirty” but every time you say jiggy jiggy, I think of Indonesia....it means doing the dirty there!

Oye, does it really! HAHAHAHHAHAH

Love it just a little too fast:(
