WHO wants to see a cute card?!

Owl Card
I just love this Scallop Trim Border Punch! It is very easy to line up and it comes in the new punch style. You can get it by ordering $50 during Sale-A-Bration until March 31st or you can wait until the new Idea Book & Catalog comes out in July. Can you wait that long?!
The owl is from Fox & Friends. They are even cuter when they are combined with the punches and they fit inside most of them. Also available, in Nursery Alphabet Decor Elements. Find this set in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog.

Build-A-Bear Boy

Build-A-Bear
This is the Build-A-Bear that I got to make at the 2009 Stampin’ Up! Convention. We got to cut out the bear and then pick out some clothes from Pawsitively Prints DSP to put on him or her. I chose for it to be a boy. This isn’t the fanciest card and it is technically unfinished but I still like it. His shoes are tied with thin strips of Whisper White Cardstock.

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Creamy Caramel
Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Bear Die, Stampin’ Up! Beary Essentials Die, Pawsitively Prints DSP, Sizzix Big Shot

Animal Stories – Elephant

Elephant Baby Card
This was the card we made at my open house. I changed the main color to Crushed Curry so that it could easily be either a baby or thank you card. It is hard to see in this photo so I may take another one but the white background has been dry embossed using the Sizzix Big Shot so everyone got to do that themselves. They also used the Cutter Kit to distress the edges of the paper.

Stamp Set: Animal Stories
Cardstock: Kraft, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, Whisper White
Ink: Melon Mambo, Basic Black
Accessories: 1 3/4″ Circle Punch, Sizzix Big Shot, Texturz Plates – Stampin’ Up Backgrounds 1, Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Cutter Kit

Teddy Bear Thank You Card

Teddy Card
So I guess it takes me a few days to make a card. Again, I stamped the teddy bear days ago and watercolored him in. I was actually working on a different card but couldn’t get the placement right so I tested out the teddy bear instead of the image I was using. It looked alright so I added some Crushed Curry to the bear and colored his ribbon Dusty Durango to match. I guess you’ll see the other card I was working on in a few days.


Stamp Set: Teddy & Train
Cardstock: Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Staz On Black, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip & Dusty Durango Marker
Accessories: Dusty Durango Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Sizzix Big Shot with Circles #2 and Texturz Plates Stampin’ Up! Backgrounds 1
