Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
My challenge for you this evening is the Bubbles technique.
To do this you will need:
Sandwich or larger sized tupperware container(s)
Dish washing soap (or other liquid soap)
Reinker bottle(s) of your color choice
Straw(s)
First cover the bottom of your container with liquid soap. Add desired
reinker color and mix well. Then, tip the container to pool the soap
into the corner. Insert your straw and blow bubbles. Come on, I know
you remember how to do this. Didn't we all do this as kids with our
milk? After your bubbles build up, place your CS into the bubbles.
Be careful not to drop it into the liquid soap on the bottom of your
container. Pop the remaining bubbles on your card with a pen if you
like or allow them to pop on their own as it dries.
Feel free to post here or PM me if you have questions about this
challenge and Good Luck!!

WOOOHOOO!!!! BUBBLES! The kids are still up at 9:45 EST and they are going to want to try this too - hmmm.....well, I'm off to have some fun! This has been a blast!
darn. I don't own any reinkers. I guess I will work to catch up on some of the other things.
Here's something to try - it might work - I don't know. Was an idea that just popped into my head when I read this....try inking up a cotton ball - alot of ink. Get it really slopped up. Then wet it and squeeze the water drops into the liquid soap. See if that does anything for those of you without reinkers. Ya don't need lots of ink - just enough to color the bubbles!

I can never get the hang of this. I guess it is too close to doing dishes for me. I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with!!! Off to work on the bonuses.

Just a thought...I'm not playing tonight, just reading along...if you don't have reinkers, would food coloring do? I used food coloring instead of reinkers for the shaving cream technique, and it's beautiful. Just a suggestion.
Have fun tonight!

No bubble dysfunction. You just blow them and get your paper in quick. I often get more of the little bubbles than the bigger ones. You can also try adding a touch of water, but don't add too much or it will weaken your color. Or add more soap.

I was having the same problem as you all. I added water adn then I put the paper on the bowl and blew the bubbles. It worked very well, you might get a little messy but it is worth it
I must be bubble dysfunctional too!! I've tried to blow bubbles, but they pop too quick, AND that was AFTER I added H20. BEFORE....I didn't get anything.
What kind of paper? Is that the trick?
Ok... have the soap & reinkers mixed in the glass container, pooled it in the corner, blew some bubbles, dipped the cardstock in... and nothing! My soap is totally saturated with turquoise and blue... I don't think I need more. What am I doing wrong?
