Zoo Babies

This is such a cute stamp set.  I've used Stampin' Up! markers to colour directly onto the stamps.  This means you can easily achieve different colours in your images.

I've first punched my images out using the postage stamp punch then attached to a Soft Sky Scallop Square. The card base is Pacific Point with a mat of Tempting Turquoise.  I stamped a banner of flags on the background from Banner Banter.  The sentiment also comes from this set.

I love these little critters such a shame they are now retired. 

Take care. xx

Zoo Babies Makes Me Smile

Happy Easter! 

Have you got lots of yummy Easter Eggs lined up for tomorrow?  

Sorry I don't have an Easter card for you today but one for the Less is More challenge.  We are challenged to make a card with a theme of Makes Me Smile.  Now chocolate definitely makes me smile but that's for tomorrow.  

Instead I thought about our trip to the Zoo last Wednesday.  My father needed a lift to Edinburgh Airport so I thought I would take the children and add in a trip to the Zoo.  It was quite daunting as it's a 2 1/2 hour drive there and back and I'm not sure of the Edinburgh roads.  However we made it to the Airport and then the park and ride and onto the Zoo with no bother at all.  That definitely made me smile!  Phew!!

Loads more smiles as we had lots of giggles going round the Zoo.  Before the children get too old to come along with Mum (they are 14 and 12), it was great to have time together to share a memorable day.  That makes me smile.  

For my card I coloured the lion using Stampin' Write Markers - So Saffron and Peach Parfait and stamped on Whisper White.  I added a few lines of Sahara Sand so he wasn't floating.  This was attached to a card base of Naturals White.  I made a window panel of So Saffron using the Windows Framelits and rounded the corners.  The panel is popped up on Dimensionals.  

I decided to make this a birthday card as it will be our great nephew's 1st birthday in May and I thought this just looked so cute!  Itty Bitty Banners and the matching framelits made the sentiment with some Candy Dots to finish off.  Loving these Candy Dots, are you? 

Did you see the pandas?  I know you are asking.  Unfortunately no.  They were all booked up!  With all my planning and googling maps etc I didn't think to book a time slot. :(   

Just means we will have to return for another visit.

Just Sayin' Gee Thanks

A little card to share a big Thank You.  

This is my thank you card for last month's Stamper's 6 ladies.  I wanted to show that Zoo Babies can be used for more than baby cards.  

I used my Stampin' Write Markers to colour directly onto the stamps.  The sentiment is from Just Sayin' and die cut with the corresponding framelits.  The Whisper White panel has trimmed edges using the Tiny Wave Stampin' Trimmer Rotary Cutter.  This was so much fun to use.  I was almost searching round the house to see what else I could trim! 

It is always sad when a Stamper's 6 term finishes but it also means a new one is starting.  You are not too late to jump on board and be my newest member of the Virtual Hostess Club. Drop me a line.

Cheers for now.  x
