My Cinco de Mayo Workshop started with a challenge from my Downline, Kathryn M. to build 2 baby cards from the below paper picks. We have mutual friends that are expecting this fall and we wanted to put together some easy card designs that we could use for both boys and girls — by just a color switch.
The stamp set we both really liked was the “Moon Baby” set which is a retiring product and will unavailable on 31 May! I couldn’t believe they were pulling this set because after putting these cards together I fell in love.
CHALLENGE 1:
We choose MELON MAMBO and WHISPER WHITE to frame some lovely soft pink paper that Kathryn had in her workshop. The paper is not a SU product; but I am always amazed at how well SU colors can be combined to work with other brands.
I used the STAMPIN’ BLENDS markers to color my image and the BROTHER SCAN N’ CUT to cut our images. When working with easy line images like these which do not come with framelits, I like to stamp a sheet on Whisper White and use my Scan n’ Cut. I used PINK PIROUETTE (light) for the face and both LIGHT and DARK for the clothes. IVORY was used for the hair. I used a POWDER PINK SHIMMER RIBBON type to hang the cloud from the top of the card. the sentiment was stamped on WHISPER WHITE and cut with the TREE BUILDER PUNCH.
CHALLENGE 2:
Use the PAINTED WITH LOVE Designer Series Paper (145580) (5″ x 3.75″) to create another card. Here I used POWDER PINK as the base card (5.5″ x 4.25″) with GOLD FOIL as the layer piece (5.24″x 4″) which when I punched with an old retired STAR BORDER punch from SU…made a great “starry starry night” background for the card. I added a strip of glimmer gold ribbon (a retired SU product from last year’s OCCASIONS Catalog) just to add some more sparkle. With “Wink of Stella”…for even more shimmer on the moon…the card was perfect!
