Something for Baby card

This is a catalog CASE. Can you find it in the previous Stampin' Up! catalog? It is very close to the original, other than the colors.

All of the pieces are stamped and then die cut with the matching framelits. Love those framelits!

I used Pool Party, Marina Mist and Daffodil Delight for the inks on this card. I used Pool Party cardstock for the card base and Whisper White cardstock for all the background blocks and to stamp the images on.

I used the stamp set Crazy About You for the sentiment.

Something for Baby Card

Stampin' Up! Something for Baby baby card 

This is a quick card. It should take under 10 minutes. Cut and fold a Whisper White card base. Adhere 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" chocolate chip card stock to the front. Cut a 3" x 5 1/2" Whisper White card stock piece and use an aqua painter to apply a stripe of Coastal Cabana ink (either use a drop of reinker or squish the lid on the ink pad and pick up the color from the inside of the lid).

Use the small grunge splatter stamp to stamp some splatter across the card. I think I may have stamped it off one time before stamping to decrease the intensity. Stamp the baby buggy with chocolate chip ink and the hello baby also.

Adhere to card front about 1/2" from top, there should be about 3/4" remaining at the bottom. Apply the Washi tape across the bottom and a strip above the buggy and you are done! Wasn't that easy?!

Thank you for joining me in my craft room today!
Happy Day,

Happy Stamper's New Catalog Blog Hop

Hello!
Welcome to our blog hop, thanks for stopping by.

I have one sweet baby card to share with you and a Masculine card that would make a nice card for a birthday or Father's Day.

For the baby card I used the new baby stamp set, Something for Baby. This set is very sweet and the new word set, Something to Say, coordinates with it perfectly. I love it! I also used the new decorative heart mask. It comes in a set along with a star mask. I lightly sponged the entire front with hearts and on the inside I chose to sponge the hearts just along the bottom edge. The mask brings a design element from the front of the card to the inside of the card and is the perfect finishing touch! I used a 2010 Mojo Monday Sketch (#147) to create the layout for this card.

  
For the second card I made a Masculine card using the stamp set, Travelers. I also used the new Maritime Designer Series Paper. To bring the design from the front to the inside, for that perfect finishing touch, I added a strip of the Maritime Designer Series Paper along the bottom edge. I also used a 2010 Mojo Monday Sketch for this card. Can you tell I like to try Mojo Monday Sketches? I like to enter their weekly challenges, but I also like to go to their archives, choose a layout and design a card around it. There are years of layouts to choose from.

One of my lucky blog readers will receive this Decorative Dots embossing folder and a 6" x 6" stack of retired Designer Series Papers.
