Baby Prints Thank You Cards

I made these thank you cards for my daughter who just had a birthday.  She loves finger painting and when I saw the CAS(E) This Sketch #48, I knew exactly what I was going to do.  I pulled out the Baby Prints and Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! and I went to work to create some clean and simple cards that were easy to reproduce.

Tags 4 You Mummy Card & Weekly Deals Starting Today from Stampin’ Up!

I saw this cool mummy card made by Carrie Rhoades out on Pinterest and loved it!  It is really easy to do, just rip the strips of card stock and sponge the edges then layer them.  I used the Tags 4 You stamp set from Stampin’ Up! for the sentiment and a few of the circle punches for the two goofy eyes.

My card design was inspired by Retrosketches #84 and The Paper Players #166 and the colors were inspired by the Dynamic Duos #73.

CAS I Am Me Birthday Card

Hope that you were all able to send some pictures to Stampin’ Up! for World Card Making Day yesterday.  Good luck to everyone who entered!

I pulled out some of the I Am Me DSP from Stampin’ Up! to create my card share for today.  The Freshly Made Sketches #106 was a clean and simple design so I thought some layers of the DSP would work perfectly for a masculine birthday card.

My holiday money holder card front was inspired by Retrosketches #82 and I used the Very Merry Tags and Wishing You stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to create it.
