Kangaroo & Company & Valentine's Day

My favorite stamp sets are ones you can use for many different things! 

One of those stamp sets is Kangaroo & Company! It includes so many cute sayings and comes with stamps to set the scene for a baby shower, thank you note, thinking of you, etc! 

Truthfully, I'm also a sucker for baby animals and the joeys are too much to handle! <3

I am in the mood for creating for Valentine's Day so made a cute little Valentine's/Anniversary Card using this set. I re-purposed some of the 'Tis the Season DSP, but there are several other red/pink printed DSPs that you could replace with--including a super cute striped/dotted one from the Field of Flowers Sale-a-Bration item! 


To make this card, I used a Whisper White Card Base. I placed a piece of patterned red paper on the back, leaving about 1/8" around. I used my Stampin' Cut & Emboss to to cut out two of the Stitched So Sweetly rectangles and I used the Playful Alphabet to cut out "LOVE." When I cut the word LOVE, I placed it on a sheet of foam adhesive to make the letters pop!

I reversed stamped one of the Joeys and filled both in with soft suede light, ivory (ears and bellies), and dark granite gray (noses). For the girl kangaroo, I used some of the Snail Mail Pink Twine tied in a bow and attached with a glue dot, and a Light Melon Mambo Stampin' Blends color for her cheek. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to make them the focal piece of my card!

I fussy cut the Kangaroos, completely forgetting that I owned the dies for this set...

To finish the card off, I generously applied wink of stella to their 'lovestruck' eyes, cheeks, and all the hearts between them. I also added some red resin hearts! 

I love it so much! If you would like to see reverse stamping OR a demo of the foam adhesive sheets, message me or comment below! I'd be happy to make a video for the blog!

Falling in Love with Soft Seedlings

Image
 It's fall! The cool, crisp weather is starting to arrive (at least in the mornings and evenings) and everyone in my neighbor has embraced Halloween decor.  In honor of the season and to slow myself down from full speed running into Christmas, I have made four lovely, Fall projects with the Soft Seedlings stamp set (p. 53 Jul-Dec Mini Catalog).  I made these at a virtual event this October and wanted to share all the details and measurements with you!  I usually stage my photos in a more pleasing way, but you will have to forgive my photographic shortcomings--it's an entirely gray day and I have just a bit today to make this post happen!
