Baby Pull Toys by Stampin UP® Little Girl's Birthday!

So glad you stopped by my blog today! I love creating Baby shower cards but this time I wanted to make a special birthday card for a little girl!  I wanted it to look like pictures on a bedroom wall!  The Baby Pull Toys was perfect for this design. I did have to cut off the little wagons that the animals were in but it worked out with the picture frames. 

This set is in the Mini Catalog and won't be available after the Mini Catalog retires in June. 

I also used the Layering Squares and Layering Ovals which sadly are retiring on May 3rd. Just one week away!  Ah!!!!

Let me know what you think of this card by leaving me a comment below!

Thank for popping by today!  I love animals so anytime Stampin UP® comes out with a stamp set with animals I'm all in!  This stamp set in particular spoke to me as I have several friends who own Dachshunds.  I think it works for anyone who owns a dog!

For this card I combined the Hot Dog stamp set with elements from the Playful Pet suite! Sadly this suite is retiring May 3rd 2021.  

I also used the some other soon to be retiring items.  Quite Curvy Stamp set, The Layering Square dies, the Playful Pets ribbon and trinkets.  One more item that I used that is not retiring is the Stitched with Whimsey Dies.  They are an embossing die that puts a beautiful stitched pattern onto your paper.

Ride the Range "Masculine Thank You Card" Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop April 2021



 

Welcome to our monthly Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop!  This is one of my favorite Blog Hops as we get to see cards made from Demonstrators around the world!  Our theme is always a "Thank You" card as we all believe that its important to send out Thanks to those who do so much for us!  I'm sure you will be inspired by all the cards you see today!

I decided to do a Masculine Thank you card today! 


 I don't know about you but I always need a masculine card and I don't do many masculine Thank you cards so I thought I design one for this Blog Hop!
 I used the Ride the Range and Peaceful Moments Stamps sets. 
The card base is Crumb Cake, Panels are Early Espresso (which I roughed up the edges) and World of Good Specialty Paper (which is retiring).  I added the Denim ribbon, made a rope out of the Linen Thread and used a button from a the retired True Gentlemen Buttons. I'm sure you can find a button that will work! 

Here are the cuts sizes:

Card Base - Crumb Cake- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Panel 1 - Early Espresso - 4 x 5 1/4 (edges roughed up)
World of Good Panels - Bottom - 2 x 3 7/8
                                     - Middle layer 1 - 2 1/2 x 3 7/8
                                     - Middle Layer 2 - 2 x 3 7/8 (Wrapped Denim ribbon on each edge)
Inside: Early Espresso - 4 x 5 1/4 (Edges roughed up)
            Crumb Cake - 3 3/4 x 5
