Happy Birthday Gator!

I'm a little sad to see the set Wild About You on the retired list. I just love those goofy animals. I made this card the other day using the alligator (or is he a crocodile, I can never remember how to tell) and the bird. I combined him with the wheel Funky Forest and thought it turned out to be a really cute card. This would be great for a little boy. The sentiment Birthday celebrations is from the Upsy Daisy set. I don't usually combine so many sets on one card but it was kind of fun to mix and match to see what goes together!

stamps:Wild About You, Funky Forest, Upsy Daisy
ink: kiwi kiss, pacific poing, chocolate chip
paper: kiwi kiss, pacific point, whisper white
other: chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon

Happy Baby Card

I made this card to pass around for a co-worker who is expecting a baby. Since I'm not sure if they're having a boy or girl, I made it bright colors and as gender-neutral as I could. The animals are stamped from the Wild about You stamp set. I love using this set to make baby card and cards for kids. It's such a cute set and is really perfect for it. I usually just make my cards out of a half sheet of cardstock but since this one was going to be signed by a bunch of people, I found a larger envelope and measured it to fit. I think it ended up being 4.25 inches wide by 7 inches tall. This worked out perfect since I had more room to stack the animals!

The dotted swirls are actually from the trendy trees set, it's one of the tree tops but I thought it would make a fun background image. Then I stamped the sentiment "happy new baby" from a retired set since I don't have a lot of baby word stamps. I punched it out and attached it to a scallop circle with a dimensional and added it to the card. The ribbon was actually inspiration for my color palette and is from Michaels.

stamps: Wild about you, trendy trees
ink: kiwi kiss, summer sun, pumpkin pie, tempting turqouise
paper: whisper white, kiwi kiss, summer sun
other: striped grosgrain ribbon (michaels), dimensionals, scallop border punch (fiskars)

Birthday Wild Ones

Besides it being my grandpas birthday this week, it was also my little brothers. I made him this card with the Wild About you set. I started with pumpkin pie paper and used the Boho Friend wheel to make a background. Then I stamped my 3 characters on squares of whisper white with blue bayou, pumpkin pie and wild wasabi. I then mounted the three of them on a piece of wild wasabi and did faux stitching on the edges. Last I added the birthday hugs and wishes sentiment. I like how simple and cute it turned out.

stamps: boho wheel, wild about you, hugs and wishes
inks: blue bayou, pumpkin pie, wild wasabi, black
paper: whisper white, pumpkin pie, wild wasabi
accessories: white gel pen, paper piercing tool

Thanks so Much...

I made this card with my newest stamp set, Wild About You. I earned this set for free by achieving a demonstrator incentive from Stampin' Up! , one of the cool bonuses of being a demonstrator.

For the background, I started with certainly celery paper and used the Petals jumbo wheel with Certainly celery ink to roll across the bottom. The thank you circle stamp is from the Riveting hostess set. I'm going to miss this, It's my favorite hostess set this year...but I'm sure the new hostess sets will be just as great.

stamps: Wild About You, Riveting, Petals Jumbo Wheel
paper: Certainly Celery, Brocade Blue, Barely Banana, Whisper White
accessories: Dimensional to pop circle off card, circle punches
