Scrappy Tails Baby Card Crazy hop

I don't know about you but I love getting more out of my supplies.  A fellow Scrappy Tails Crafts design team member came up with an awesome idea.  Using non baby themed stamps to make a baby card!  The Sweet Bear stamp set is just perfect for a baby card!


I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and stamped the bear all over using a light gray dye ink.  I then took the trio of hearts and stamped those to fill in the areas between the bears.  I did some dirty masking using scraps of paper.  No need to get fancy!

Then I grabbed a paint brush, water and some Distress Oxide inks.  Milled Lavender, Scattered Straw, Bundled Sage, Hickory Smoke and Black Soot.


Next I stamped several bear masks.  I cut them all out and placed them on the colored panel.  Then I took a blender and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.  I used a very gentle hand to add color over the entire panel.  Once I was happy with the coverage, I peeled off all of the masks.  There was a tiny area that I chose not to fussy cut out of the mask.  I grabbed a BG000 marker and colored it in.  It is a great match to Tumbled Glass.  

I cut the panel down using a scalloped rectangle die.  I added foam tape to the back and added it to a top fold, A2 sized gray card base.  Next I grabbed Crystal Stickles.  I added the Stickles to all of the big hearts.  I also chose to add glossy accents to that cute bear nose.

While those pieces were drying, I grabbed the dies that spelled love from the Flower Vase Pop Up die set.  I cut the letters out four times from the same gray cardstock as the base.  I even remembered to add Stick It adhesive to the cardstock before I cut the letters out.  This made it so much easier to glue all of the layers together.

I added the letters in a jaunty layout.  I thought this made it look more whimsical.  I also dabbed on some Frost Shimmer stix to add a little more sparkle.  That's it!  One super cute baby card complete.




The good news is that my card is part of a hop.  Some of us have videos and some of us have blog posts to share.  I hope you'll join in on all the fun.  And a little added bonus - if you comment on every blog post & video along the hop, you'll be entered into the chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the Scrappy Tails Crafts store!  Your next stop is Teresea Plunkett right HERE.
