Good Monday morning everyone and Happy Columbus Day. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for another great week. If you have off today, hope you have some fun plans and enjoy your day.

A friend asked me to make her a Baby Shower card, so I took a break from my holiday cards to make her one. I used the Stampin’ Up Animal Outing Stamp Set and the Buffalo Check Stamp which I made into a plaid. Take a look.

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped it using the Buffalo Check stamp in Petal Pink. Then I turned it into a plaid by adding Pool Party and Highland Heather lines using my Stampin’ Blends Markers. I saw this technique done by one of our wonderful team members Mary Deatherage from Stamps-N-Lingers. You can see hers here.

I stamped the Kangaroo from the Animal Outing stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on a small piece of Whisper White cardstock. I colored her in using my Crumb Cake, Ivory and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut her out using the coordinating Animal Friends Thinlits Dies. I cut the 2nd largest circle from the Stitched Shaped Framelit Dies out of Whisper White cardstock and sponged the edge with Highland Heather Ink.

I attached the Kangaroo to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I made a banner from the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper using my Banner Triple Punch and adhered it to the plaid panel using Snail. I adhered the plaid panel to a Highland Heather mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the artwork to the center of the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I then adhered the card front to a Petal Pink card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On the inside panel I stamped the Kangaroo from the Animal Outing stamp set in Soft Suede Ink, stamping it off 3 times to get a very light image, in the center of the Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Animal Outing stamp set in Highland Heather Ink over the top of the Kangaroo. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Pool Party mat using Snail and adhered it to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card off I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the Kangaroo on the bottom front left corner and colored her in the same as I did on the card. I stamped the Buffalo Check on the envelope flap in Petal Pink Ink. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you enjoyed my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping.
