Baby, oh Baby! Theme Challenge #TGIF99

Who's ready for a THEME challenge? This week over at TGIF challenges the design team is exploring the theme BABY.

Now, we are super excited around here. A new baby will be joining our extended east coast family later this year. We have baby on the brain. We've been invited to a gender reveal party, my first. Gender reveals were not really a thing when I was having kids. However I'm all about another good reason to celebrate and make a card. Woohoo!

I made a congratulations baby card for this challenge. This card could work for either gender although it does feel a little more feminine the more I look at it. Maybe that's a sign? Hmmm.

For this card I used the Better Together stamp set from the Stampin' Up! catalog. The WELCOME phrase comes from the Vertical Garden stamp set that is available in the Occasions mini catalog.

Here for You - What Will You Stamp Challenge #107

Are you guys ready for another fun What Will You Stamp challenge? This week we are sharing creations made with the Here for You stamp set. Here For You is a verse only set that works perfect with just about any image set. Today I've paired it with the Avant Garden stamp set from the Sale-a-bration catalog.  There is only 2 more weeks of Sale-a-bration and then these free sets are gone forever.  I'm a little sad.

Hop on over to the WWYS blog for more inspiration using this set. Thanks for stopping by.

Delicate Details - What will You Stamp

Happy Monday! Welcome to another week of What Will You Stamp. The stamp set we are focusing on this week is Delicate Details. This set is not available for purchase but can be earned for FREE until the end of March with any 50$ Stampin' Up! purchase.

My card today uses every image in the stamp set. That doesn't happen very often, like almost never! I stamped each border in an alternating color to create the background on the card. Boy did the colors really pop! I wanted to mute them down a bit for a softer look so I added a glassine sheet over the top. I love the super soft effect the glassine created.

Check out what the team created over at the WWYS blog. Play along with us and share your Delicate Detail project. Thanks for visiting. Have an awesome day!

Rose Wonder - Stamp Review Crew

Welcome back! Today the Stamp Review Crew is stamping with Rose Wonder. This is a large stamp set with many different occasion verses included in the set. The set has coordinating thinlets. Both are available in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  I chose to create a wedding card and used the Wedding Wishes phrase. The lace border image along the bottom comes from the Delicate Details stamp set, which is part of Sale-a-bration and can be earned for free with any 50$ USD purchase.

A note about this card ... I likely won't be recreating anytime soon. I had this great idea to use the negative spaces from the large rose thinlet as the primary image for my card. I really love the look of this but, boy, it was a time suck. It also uses a fair amount of foam adhesive or Stampin' dimensionals. 

To create the flower I die cut the large rose and left all of the pieces carefully in place in the die. Next, from the back side of the rose I added foam adhesive to all of the negative pieces. Some of those negative pieces are super tiny so I needed to cut down the dimensionals a bit. Then I adhered the rose to the card front and carefully pulled the positive rose image away from the negative rose image. Viola! Looks so simple but it really took forever.

Are you ready to be really inspired? Hop along to the talented Rochelle to see her lovely project. If you are traveling backwards visit Charlene, another amazing stamper! You can always start form the beginning at the Stamp Review Crew blog.
