Stampin’ Up! Zoo Babies!

Stampin’ Up! Zoo Babies!

Good morning! Another baby card for you today, this time with the Zoo Babies stamp set. This card is another from my monthly swap group, but I can't remember who made this one!

Zoo babies 1

This one is pretty basic, just stamp and punch, stamp and punch, stamp and punch with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch. (ALWAYS stamp FIRST, then punch!) Next layer onto Baked Brown Sugar 1 3/8" Circles. The "congratualtions" in included in the set, how convenient!

Zoo babies 2

Inside, more stamped Zoo Babies, then a verse from Cuddles & Kisses, and you are done!

Oh, and the card base and ribbon is Strawberry Slush, making this card perfect for either a boy or a girl!

That's all for now. I'm getting ready to go to a family reunion this afternoon at Lincoln, IL. Three hours in the truck each way gives me lots of time to work on some things I've had waiting for my attention for awhile! So nice my hubby prefers to drive!

Until tomorrow, which is Sunday Swap Day, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Gift Baby Girl!

Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Gift Baby Girl!

Good morning! I was looking back through my files and discovered I had not shared this GREAT baby girl card I received in the Convention swaps with my monthly swap back in July using the Sweetest Gift stamp set, Card Base Pop 'n Cuts, and Label Pop 'n Cuts Die!

This card was created by Raedean Shibata. She always goes over the top with her fabulous swaps!


Sweetest gift 1
The only additions I made to this card was the "it's a girl" greeting from the A Dozen Thoughts stamp set and the Dazzling Diamonds glitter.


Sweetest gift 2
Strawberry Slush, Whisper White, and Pink Pirouette cardstocks, 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Ribbon, Ovals Collection Framelits, and Stripes Textured Impressions Folder.

Yes, it's a great card all right. But wait! There's more! Lookie inside:


Sweetest gift 3
Isn't this just adorable? I love the way the curved edges of the Pop 'n Cuts Card Base add to the feminine feel of this card!


Sweetest gift 4
Again, my only addition is a little dab of Dazzling Diamonds!

The "congratulations  . . " phrase is also from Sweetest Gift, and the label layers are from the Deco Labels Collection Framelits.

Well, I've got to get moving. I'm heading over to Jessica's this morning to spend a little time with Jaxon while Jessica takes Cohen to his first day of Kindergarten! She has to stay for an hour of Kg. Orientation. Orientation for Maddie Kate and Ava was in the evening in years past, so this new way of having the moms come the morning of the first day, stay for the first hour, then having to LEAVE their child is not something she is looking foward to! She commented: "Did the teachers get together and decide "what can we do to make the mommies cry?"

I remember Jessica's first day of school like it was yesterday, instead of 30 years ago =(  ! I put her on the bus at 6:30 a.m. the first morning, then sat on my porch steps and cried with Kimberly and Troy on my lap. It was my birthday and I was 24 years old that day. I remembered thinking how could it be that I was old enough to have a child in school already? After 5 more kindergarten first days, 6 high school graduations, 4 college graduations (two more to come!), 3 weddings, and 6 grandchildren later, I still wonder how could I be old enough for all of this, but I KNOW I am exceedingly blessed!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

The Chix like to choose their next months' projects from my display, and this is one of the cards they chose to make today using the Secret Garden stamp set and matching framelits:

Stampin’ Up! Blushing Bride Owl Anniversary!

Stampin’ Up! Blushing Bride Owl Anniversary!

Good morning and happy Tuesday! Today I have another version of the Owl Builder Punch Anniversary card I showed you HERE. I re-did the card with Blushing Bride as one of the accent colors by a request from my upcoming Friday Night hostess, Cindy!


Owl 1
Changes I made include:

Blushing Bride was used for the focal image matting layer, the owl's vest & hair bow, and the heart on the Teeny Tiny Wishes' "happy anniversary" greeting.

The color combo was changed to Basic Black, Whisper White, and Blushing Bride with a splash of Strawberry Slush 3/8" Stretch Ruffled Ribbon for a little extra "pop"!

The new Pretty Print Textured Impressions Folder was used on the bottom layer instead of the Striped folder.


Owl 2
Inside I used a phrase and image from the new This Day Forward set on page 113 of the Annual Catalog. The image is interesting. I think it is  a butterfly, but makes a very pretty flourish too, don't you think?

That's all for now. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
