Zoo Babies

My card today is a card I made for a friend who is expecting a baby - I don't know if it is a boy or a girl, but we will find out in late July/early August :-)

The colours are pretty in pink, pool party and early espresso and the stamp set is Zoo Babies - it is such a cute set.

First birthday

It was a special little girls first birthday a little while ago, and of course she needed a little girly birthday card.

I used the retired stamp set 'Under the Big Top' and coloured it would my Stampin' Write markers. It is framed with silver glimmer paper on Raspberry Ripple and Whisper White card stock.

The Raspberry Ripple card stock is stamped with the birthday candle from 'Cycle Celebrations' with Versamark ink.

Scalloped Tag Topper Punch card

Today is a very special Granny's 60th birthday so of course she needed a very special birthday card.

I used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch to make the card and it was super easy but looks really fancy :-) I saw this design on Leonie Schroder's blog.

The stamp set used is Papillon Potpourri and I used the Itty Butterfly punch and some ribbon.


The colors are Basic Gray, Pink Pirouette and Whisper White.

Here is a card in a box using the Sale-a-bration DSP which is available as a free product when you spend $90. It is beautiful!

The butterflies are stamped with Papillon Potpourri in versamark ink on Strawberry Slush cardstock and in Strawberry Slush ink on Whisper White cardstock. I then punched them all out with the Elegant Butterfly and the Bitty Butterfly punches. All got stuck on with Tombo glue. And then some Basic Rhinestones were added.

Emboss resist

Finally had time to be a bit creative today and made four cards, all same design but with different sentiments on - always a good idea to make more than one of a card where you have it all out anyway.

This card features the emboss resist technique. I stamped the flourish from Everything Eleanor on Whisper White cardstock with Versamark ink and heat embossed the flourishes with clear embossing powder. I then sponged Pool Party classic ink all over the Whisper White piece of card. The cardstock picks up the colour but the embossed images resists the ink and stays white. On the featured card i used a greeting and image from Elements of Style, which will retire on June 30.


The other three cards I made have sentiments from Perfectly Penned and Memorable Moments.

Don't forget that this is the last month of the 2012/13 catalogue and the seasonal catalogue. There is a long retirement list and things are selling out fast so get in quick. To avoid disappointment I would suggest that you Shop On Line at my Stampin' Up! website www.stampingmette.stampinup.net
