Month: January 2023

Today I created two baby cards using the Stampin’ Up Elephant Parade bundle and the new Alphabet A La Mode dies (Stampin’ Up Mini Catalog January – April 2023). These elephants are the cutest! 

I made one slim card (8″ x 3.5″) for a baby girl and one slim card for a baby boy both using Basic Gray cardstock. To create the background I cut a 7.5″ x 3″ piece of the Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper (DSP). To create the blocks I used the Subtles 6×6 DSP and one of the square dies from the Stylish Shapes dies. The letters B – A – B – Y were die cut out of Basic Black cardstock using the Alphabet A La Mode dies. The color combination I chose for the baby girl card is Highland Heather, Blushing Bride, and Basic Gray. I colored the little elephant with the light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends marker and the Blushing Bride marker. And I colored the balloon using a Highland Heather marker.

I created the baby boy slim card exactly the same as the baby girl one except I changed the color combination. For the baby boy card I used the following color combination: Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam, and Basic Gray. 

Happy stamping!

 This week I had lots of fun making some cards using the Framed Florets bundle and the Count On Me stamp set. I just love how versatile the Framed Floret dies are and how cute the images are in the Count On Me stamp set. I used the little hearts from the oval frame that was die cut as embellishments. Here is a list of Stampin’ Up items I used to create this encouragement card: 

• Cardstock and Designer Series Paper (DSP): Soft Suede, Calypso Coral, Blushing Bride, Basic White, and Happy Forest Friends DSP
• Stamp Pad: Black Memento and Calypso Coral
• Markers/Blends: Soft Suede (dark and light) and Blushing Bride
