Little Elephant baby cards - GDP206

September 15, 2019

Little 3x3 love notes are the perfect sized card to attach to baby gifts. Such a nice size for a small present and easy to make! It seems like I have so many friends having babies lately. These cards have come in handy!

Funny enough, I used this GDP206 sketch to make these cards. I’m playing along this week instead of designing for the Global Design Project. I was a little late getting my projects posted. OOPS!

Last night to play along. More info on the Global Design Project Blog.

Trick or Tweet - just for fun

September 30, 2018

It’s the last day of September. High time I get my Halloween on. Check out this little 3x3 gift card. The elephant in a bat costume has to be one of the cutest Halloween images I’ve seen this season (from the Trick or Tweet stamp set). Love him. I created a simple 3x3 card to pair with a Halloween gift. I love how deep and saturated Rich Razzleberry looks with Gorgeous Grape, a perfect color choice for Halloween. The bats come from the Spooky Sweets stamp set.

Water & ink. I used water and classic ink to create this soft pastel card. Paper: watercolor paper. I used a variety of flower punches from my collection to create the multi-layered flowers. This card has so much dimension and is meant for hand delivery! 🤣 Use your stash! #stampinup #useyourstash #cardmaker #cardmakingreel

When I think of pastel I think watercolor. For this month our 'Use Your Stash' theme is PRETTY PASTEL. I pulled out the 'Good Greetings' stamp set and heat set the large greeting with white emboss powder. This greeting is so pretty. Then, I water painted a peachy color over the top for a soft & airy look. For the flowers I painted a few pink and peach multi-color washes and then punch out using various flower punches. The flower centers are irridescent rhinestones. Stampin' Up! products you can still purchase: Basic White cardstock, Fluid 100 watercolor Ink colors: Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Cloud Cover I can't wait to see what my friends pulled out from their stashes for this challenge. UYS is a monthly instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we have on hand to create a project around a certain theme. Use those supplies!

Cute little chicks lined up in a row … I was eyeballing it to try my hand at stamp alignment with this new Stampin’ Positioner tool. My free form is not perfect, but it doesn’t matter in the end when you mount your card crooked. 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 🤣 Stamp set is called Easter Basket and it’s on the last chance list. Stampin’ Positioner tool coming May 5th #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels

Hey Chick! I used the sketch from #gdp542 as a starting point for creating this simple card. The cute chick does all the work, like usual! Play along with @global_design_project and create a project from our challenge sketch. The little chick image is from the Easter Basket stamp set. The greeting is from the Sending Salutations stamp set. #stampinup #easterbasketstampset #cardmaking
