RainyDay Stamper

Retired stamps

yes, I have a few that I keep, and thankfully I kept the Baby Tees wheel, I needed a baby card and yes, I could have used Zoo Babies but I have used it a lot.  I rolled just one onsie, cut it out and added just a bit of colour. 

Yes, you are right I used yellow because we don't know if it is a boy or girl.  Crushed Curry is bright and I added a bit of Basic Black to tone it down or make it look more like a sports team colours (don't know about that!)

Have a great weekend and stamp a little.

 

Happy Stamping,

With a baby

there is lots of laundry, so check out this card

 
Though I don't think our nephew will be hanging the baby's clothes on a line.  I inked up the wheel with Black Stazon and used Shimmery White cardstock.  The onsies are colored using my Aquapainter and Watercolor crayons and then cut out.  A piece of Linen thread is the clothesline and then I used Tombow multi to attach the onsies.    The card base is Whisper White and a piece of Pink Pirouette ran through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polkadot impressions folder is the background.

Wheels & Embossing

I love my Stampin' Up wheels, jumbo, regular or even the builder wheels.  Stampin' Up has so many different designs that one will certainly become your favorite.  Today I used the jumbo wheel, Baby Tees and ran it with Versamark so that I could emboss the images. 

  Using a 12 x 12 piece of Crumb Cake I scored at 2 1/2" on all sides to make my box base.  The top is a 8 3/4" square scored at 3/4" on all sides.  The images from the Baby Tees wheel are embossed using Silver Embossing powder and then using Daffodil Delight, Pretty in Pink, Marina Mist and Certainly Celery markers I colored just bits of the tees.  Since I had a couple of Tees leftover, I cut them out and used them to make the card

Baby Tees Jumbo Wheel

 
When you have a little one, you need lots of these!  This wheel has the cutest onesies and since our neighbour is due any day and she thought that that baby was a boy, I decided to make a Boy card using this wheel.

I used Black Stazon ink and rolled out three of the onesies, watercolored using my Watercolor Crayons and my Aquapainter and cut them out.The card base is Whisper White with a 2 1/2" strip of Whisper White ran through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dot Impressions folder.  Bashful Blue scalloped strips run along the edges of the strip and the onesies are attached with dimensionals.  Just wait, soon the baby Girl card will be coming, she had a girl!!
