Stampin' UP! Little Cuties

Have you seen the stamp set called "Little Cuties" in the current Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog?  It is a wonderful set that can be used for so many occasions.  Here it is:

 

 

Isn't it the sweetest?  You could create birthday cards, baby cards, friend and Easter cards.  I created this card today for my daughter's friend who will soon welcome a sweet little baby boy into her life.  She is a first time mom, but I know she will be awesome.  What I like about this set is that I could easily duplicate this card using yellow, light greens or pink depending on the gender of the baby. 

 

Here's what you need to create this card:

• pool party cardstock cut at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
• pool party cardstock cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
• whisper white cardstock cut at 3" x 3 1/2"
• Cupcakes & carousels designer paper cut at 2" x 5 1/4" (item #142744)
• Little cuties stamp set (item #142990)
• lucky stars embossing folder (item #135817) 
• stitched ribbon (item #140569) bermuda bay

Here's how you create the card:

• Fold 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" cardstock in half to create card base
• run the 4" x 5 1/4"  piece of pool party through the big shot using the lucky stars embossing folder. Attach this piece to the front of the card base.
• attach the 2" x 5 1/4" piece of designer paper to the middle of the embossed cardstock
• stamp the rocking horse onto the 3" x 3 1/2" piece of whisper white cardstock using staz on ink.  Color the image using the aqua painter or water color pencils.
• Turn the stamped image over and put a line of adhesive on the right edge of the card (this will be the left edge once you flip it back over).  Cut a piece of the bermuda bay ribbon and create loops, attaching it to the line of adhesive that you put on the right side.
• Place dimensionals on the back of the white cardstock and attach to the front of the card as shown
• attach 3 rhinestone jewels to the top right corner of the card

I hope you enjoy this card today.  If you need items to create this, or another project, I would love to be your demonstrator.  Please visit my store HERE
