New Baby Card | Pink and Main - "Just Ducky" Stamp Set


Hello!

Pink & Main's "Stamp of The Month" subscription for July features adorable duck images and punny sentiments in the "Just Ducky" Stamp Set! I decided to create a ‘congratulations’ card for my niece who just had her first baby two weeks ago and the inside of this card reads, "I see lots of rubber duckies and bath toys in your future!" I added an action wobbler under the duck for some interactive fun!

I stamped, colored and die cut the duck image; backing it with two extra blank die cuts since I was using the action wobbler. I ink blended a piece of white card stock with "Salty Ocean" Distress Oxide Ink, spritzed it with pearlized spray, cut it with the A2-sized stitched rectangle die and attached it to the front of an A2 card base. Two additional panels were ink blended - one with "Tumbled Glass" and the other with a combo of "Twisted Citron/Mowed Lawn" DOI's. The green panel was die cut with a grass edge and glued to the "Tumbled Glass" piece.

I die cut light yellow card stock using the largest size of the Reverse Scallop Circle Dies and stacked/glued several of these cuts together. Using the negative cut, I traced the circle onto the sky/grass panel and hand cut the shape. I added a die cut piece of the pale blue glitter paper from the "Summer Glitter Paper" Pack to the bottom to create my duck pond and glued the yellow scallop circle on top. The circular scene was attached to the card front and the duck was attached with the action wobbler. The sentiment from the "Butterfly Sketches" Stamp Set was stamped, fussy cut and glued to the front: a few blue sequins finished up the card!

New Baby | Alphabet Challenge "B" is for Bird | Ellen Hutson - "Backyard Bird Friends"


Happy Friday!

I've got a CAS design for you today that's really for the birds! And that's because over on the Alphabet Challenge, "B" is for "Bird" this go around! I've got two nieces (sisters in fact) who are both pregnant right now and I am lucky enough to have more great nephews on the way this summer! Yippee! So this card is going with the shower gift for the younger of the two!

I inked a panel with Pink & Main's "Cracked" Stencil using Tumbled Glass DOI, spritzed it with shimmer mist, trimmed it to 3.75" x 5", and attached it to a top-folding A2 card base. The images from Ellen Hutson's "Backyard Bird Friends" were stamped, water colored and die cut. I wanted the egg to be a bit bigger than the one in the stamp set so I just drew one with a marker and fussy cut it to fit into the nest!

All of the images were glued onto the stenciled panel, the sentiment was stamped using the MISTI and I added several sequins to finish up the card. We are looking forward to seeing your birds in our gallery!

Take care and have a wonderful weekend!!!
