Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Baby Card!

Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Baby Card!

Hey there! Today I want to share with you the card I created for the gifts I gave to my daughter-in-law, Faith, at the baby shower I helped give for baby Wesley.

I found some adorable paper at Hobby Lobby to wrap the gifts, then looked through my stamps and dies to see what I had to coordinate. I decided to use the Enchanting Details Dies and Charming Sentiments stamps to create my card.

I started with a card base of Basic Gray, then added a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8
 layer of Mango Melody. Before I added the 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Smoky Slate I used a Blending Brush to softly swirl Basic Gray around the edges. I then added the garland die-cut from Balmy Blue card stock, the moon & stars die-cut from Mango Melody, and the Cloud punched from Basic White. I used a Black Stampin' Write Marker to add the faux stitching around the cloud and the sleepy face. To make adhering all of the die-cuts easier, I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the card stock before die-cutting.

Before adhering the moon & stars I sponged the edges with Mango Melody ink. I used the same Basic Black marker to add another sleeping profile face and a q-tip to softly add a bit of cheek color with Polished Pink ink.

I stamped the greeting from Charming Sentiments with Basic Gray ink. I added a single Heart Pearl to finish off the front.

I stamped another sentiment from Charming Sentiments on the inside and used the moon & stars die to cut a stencil to sponge the shapes on the inside.

Stampin’Up! Evergreen Silver Silent Night!

Stampin’Up! Evergreen Silver Silent Night!

Hey there! I guess you could say I'm on a "tree kick" right now. First I played with Serene Silhouettes and Lovely as a Tree, and today I played with a carryover list set, Evergreen!

Stampin_up_evergreen_1

I paired Midnight Muse cardstock with a Basic Gray mat layer (bet you thought it was Brushed Silver, didn't ya?) and Silver Encore Metallic ink from the Holiday Catalog.

Evergreen is so gorgeous! I stamped the solid trees on each side first, then breathed on the stamp again without re-inking to get the second and third stampings of the trees to give the illusion of depth and distance between the trees. The silver ink worked perfect with this simple technique!

The fine detail of the "Silent Night" tree stamp is just incredible:

Sometimes silver ink can be a bit gloppy, which I was afraid of with the tiny script of this stamp, but NO PROBLEM!!!

Stampin_up_evergreen_3

Inside I used the remaining two stamps in the set (this card is stamped ENTIRELY with the Evergreen stamp set) with Midnight Muse ink on the Whisper White layer, breathing on the stamp again to get several stampings from one inking.

That's all for now! It's "Friends & Family Day" at church this Sunday, which means I need to throw a lasagna in the oven to take for the "dinner-on-the-grounds"!

Here's your shopping list for this super-simple card:
