Be You

 Hello! (Chris here)

I loved this stamp as soon as I saw it.  First off... it has giraffes.  What is not to love?   The obvious of baby cards came to mind, but then I started thinking about spotlighting just one giraffe to make it stand out.   I wanted to make make it unique.  What a better way than to color it blue!   

 I thought this would be a fun reminder to someone that they are special.  There is only on you.

My Big Giraffe Love Family Snark!

 

I love my friends, family, dogs, giraffes and snarky stamps! Today's card celebrates several of those things: giraffes, family and snark! The Giraffe love stamp was great for the outside AND inside of the card. The sentiments used here are two of the sentiments from the 10-piece Inside Out: No Good Advice Set.

Congratulations Baby Cards with Giraffe Love

Hello all and Happy Saturday!  We all need a new baby card at times.  Today I am sharing two cards I made - one for a baby boy and the other for a baby girl - using Giraffe Love and one of the sentiments from Floral Framed Sentiments.  

• First, I stamped Giraffe Love on two pieces of white cardstock.   Then I die-cut them using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, and colored them using some yellow, orange, and brown tones of markers.    

• I made 2 top-folding A2 cards - one baby pink and one baby blue.  Then I adhered a piece of fun foam behind each of the colored Giraffe Love pieces and glued one to each card front.   I used the 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die to cut another 2 pieces of white cardstock and I adhered one inside each card where a message will be written.   

• I stamped Congratulations twice from Floral Framed Sentiments, layered them on a piece of blue and pink cardstock, added a button and crystals, and adhered them to the card fronts.    

Here are the two cards - one for a boy and one for a girl.

I hope you have enjoyed these card ideas for a new baby.  Make one of these and they will be kept for years and years.  Remember, if you go shopping on the Technique Junkies website (www.techniquejunkies.com), you can save 10% at checkout by using my discount code - TJ10Michael.

Simple Pleasures

 These two new stamps from Technique Junkies Wild Poppies and Enjoy were made for each other!  I stamped the flowers, colored with watercolor and added some white acrylic splatter.  Mounted on a simple easel card base with the sentiment visible when the front is tucked behind the ribbon as a stop.  Use my code TJ10FAITH for a 10% discount on these and all the other great new releases at TechniqueJunkies.com.

Simplicity

Sometimes just keeping things simple is a good thing

Today, using the new 'meadow sprigs' stamp 

embossed in white onto kraft cardstock

a wee bit of sponging around the edges

Then for something completely different - the saying is wider than the card !!!  We all seem to stay within a certain box...lets go beyond !!! 

The 'happy birthday' is from an inside out set..

couple of butterflies and we are done.

Thanks for stopping by
