Elephant Zoo Baby Card

I'm sharing a baby card using the cute Zoo Baby stamp set. I added watercolor splatters using the splatters from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.

I inked the elephant stamp up really good with Pacific Point ink. I used a stamping tip that someone passed onto me. They recommended stamping over a mouse pad or some other foamy pad when using the photopolymer stamps to get better ink coverage. It definitely helps to get that good solid ink image.


Supplies:
CS: Whisper White, All Abloom DSP, Pistachio Pudding
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Memento black
SS: Gorgeous Grunge, Zoo Baby, Sweet Essentials
Big Shot: Stitched rectangle framelit (Lawn Fawn)

Have a blessed day!

Soft Watercolored Wedding

Today I’m sharing a card using a watercolor wash over a section of the card front panel, using Crisp Cantaloupe and Daffodil Delight reinkers. I stamped the “bride” sentiment over the Crisp Cantaloupe and the “groom” over the Daffodil Delight washes.

I lightly sponged the same colors onto three punched Five Petal flowers. To get the little embossed punched floral centers, I embossed a piece of heavy vellum with the Snowburst embossing folder.  I punched the center of the stars with the scallop from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, which fit perfectly.

I hope that you're having a wonderful day!

SUPPLIES:

INK: Crisp Cantaloupe, Daffodil Delight, Memento Tuxdeo Black

PAPER: 100 lb smooth watercolor paper, heavy vellum, Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pear Pizzazz

Baby Elephants

The inspiration for this cute baby boy card came from a sweet card Kim S. made using elephants. I used her three elephant idea which I created using My Digital Studio's Nursery Necessities stamp set, and stamped the "Hello Baby" sentiment from the Sweet Essentials stamp set.

 I love hybrid cards because the printer produces rich evenly stamped images, as seen
 in the elephants above.

The color combination in the Sweet Sorbet DSP has a nursery look and works well for a baby boy or girl card. I pulled out SU's retired star punches to make an embellishment for the upper section of the card.

So glad that you stopped by!

Supplies:

INK: Pool Party, Pistachio Pudding, Summer Starfruit, Basic Black

PAPER: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Pool Party, Black, Sweet Sorbet DSP

SS: Sweet Essentials

So Very Grateful Baby Card

Today I'm sharing a baby card which was inspired by Lin Brandyberry's card. This is my first time using the So Very Grateful stamp set, which I thought was so cute when I first saw it.

The colors in the Sweet Sorbet DSP were perfect for this little girl baby card. I fussy cut the floral images and then cut apart one of the floral images so that I had the floral thing going along the topside of the white scalloped border. 

This is a fun stamp set to watercolor.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look!

Supplies:
Paper: Sweet Sorbet DSP, Whisper White, Crisp Cantaloupe
Ink: Black Stazon, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pool Party, Pistachio Pudding, Summer Starfruit
SS: So Very Grateful, Sweet Essentials
BS: Large Scallop Edgelit, Delicate Designs EB folder
Punches: Itty Bitty Shapes (scallop)

Trying out another color combination (Basic Gray, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding) using the Secret Garden and Sweet Essentials stamp sets.

I stamped the flowers in Basic Black on vellum, cutting them out using the Secret Garden framelits. I colored the backs of the flowers using Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral and then cut coordinating Whisper White flowers behind the vellum, trimming them shorter than the vellum. I added white accents around edges of the flowers, leaves and Crisp Cantaloupe Fancy Fan embossed panel.

I'm glad that you stopped by!

Today's card uses the Mosaic punch to create a couple of ornaments for the card's embellishments. I originally made the card only red and white, but my husband said it needed some greenery, so I added Old Olives leaves from the Secret Garden framelit set. I think he was right, I like it a lot better with a touch of green.

I'd seen the cute cut-out bottom for the Modern Mosaic embossing folder on a card by Kerry Bunting and loved the look, so incorporated that idea into this card. I had a strip of the striped Season of Style DSP which fit perfectly in giving the card a festive look.

...............................................

Today's CAS card share is a baby card I made for a friend. I was inspired by a baby card Laura Haffke created, so I used her half-embossed folder idea to create this fun card using the new Tape-It, Sweet Essentials and Six-Sided Sampler stamp sets.
The Tape-It stamp set gives a Washi tape look to your cards, plus you can stamp the tape look in any color you want along with different tape designs. I did use my old faithful Stampamajig to make sure I got the stamps lined up straight.

 I used a bright pink Sharpie pen to color my rhinestones so that they would match the Strawberry Slush ink.

So glad that you stopped by! Have a wonderful day.

Supplies:

CS: Whisper White, Strawberry Slush

INK: Strawberry Slush, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black

SS: Sweet Essentials (126457), Tape-It (130715), Six-Sided Sampler (130956)
