Happy Valentine’s Day my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Is anyone doing anything special today or tonight?
A co-worker of mine asked me to make her a baby shower card for her daughter who is having her first baby. The only thing she told me was to make it blue since they are having a boy. So I pulled out something old and something new. I used some of the new Designer Series Paper from the Coordination products. Here’s what I came up with.
I joined in with Inspire. Create Challenge #062. Here is their challenge for the week.
I started by adhering a panel of the Coordination Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper to a Soft Seafoam mat using Snail. I adhered the matted panel to a Whisper White mat using Snail and then to a Balmy Blue card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the Kangaroo image from the Stampin’ Up! Animal Outings Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink. I colored the image in using my Crumb Cake, Ivory and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Animal Friends Dies. I stamped the umbrella image on a panel of Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper in Soft Suede Ink. I stamped the umbrella handle on a scrap of Soft Seafoam cardstock in Soft Suede Ink. I punched the umbrella and the handle out using the Umbrella Builder Punch.
I used the 2nd largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies to cut a circle from Whisper White cardstock. I adhered the stitched circle to a scallop circle which I cut using the Layering Circle Dies in Soft Seafoam cardstock using Snail. I adhered the kangaroo to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the umbrella handle to the umbrella using a Glue Dot and adhered it to the kangaroos hand using a Glue Dot. I adhered the artwork to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins. On a thin strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Under My Umbrella Photopolymer Stamp Set in Balmy Blue Ink and made it into a banner. I adhered it to a Soft Seafoam banner mat using Snail and then to the left side of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Heart Epoxy Droplet which I colored using my Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker.
Next I made the card base. I scored a 4 1/4″ X 11″ panel of Balmy Blue cardstock at 1 3/8″, 2 3/4″, 8 1/4″ and 9 5/8″. I folded the sides in and then back so that it would look like this:
It’s kind of like a Z-Fold on both sides.
On the inside I stamped the sentiments from the Animal Outings stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the kangaroo image from the Animal Outings stamp set over the sentiment in Crumb Cake Ink stamping off once. I stamped the umbrella and handle images from the Under My Umbrella stamp set in Soft Seafoam Ink in the kangaroos hand. I colored the umbrella in using my Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Soft Seafoam mat using Snail and then to the inside of the Balmy Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On the right side panel of the card base, I adhered a panel of Coordination Pleased As Punch DSP which I matted on a Soft Seafoam panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the card front to the left side of the card base using Tear & Tape Adhesive.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the kangaroo image from the Animal Outings stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the envelope front. I stamped the umbrella image from the Under My Umbrella stamp set in Soft Seafoam Ink attached to the kangaroo. I colored the images in using my Crumb Cake, Ivory, Smoky Slate and Soft Seafoam Stampin’ Blends Makers. I adhered a panel of the Pleased As Punch DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
