Fabulous Friday ( A little late)

Hello Stamping Friends,

(Yes, I know today is not Friday, but I didn't get a chance to post this for Friday, so I decided it's better late than never.  Besides I think this card turned out so cute that I couldn't keep it all to myself. It must be shared with all of you.)

This week at Sisters in Stamping we were to make a card that moved.  There are so many great movement cards out there. The card I finally decided on (it was difficult to choose) was a waterfall card. They are so fun for kids to receive, so I went with a little boy theme as well. I hope you enjoy it.

 

What little boy doesn't love a space theme? I know my Jonah loves all things space. His room is even done with a space theme with a wall with glow in the dark "stars."  I think this blast off stamp set is so fun.  I used the coordinating wheel in whisper white ink for the background.  Looks pretty cool already, but keep reading because you are going to love what this card does.

Okay, see those model fingers?  lol  Not at all but anyway, you pull on the bottom of the lucky limeade cardstock (as shown) and the images create a waterfall look.  The key is scoring the limeade piece (you cut the limeade to be 1 1/2" by 8 1/2" and then score at 4 1/2", 5 1/2", 6 1/2" and 7 1/2", you place the stamped images on each of the 1" score spaces and attach the bottom 1" space onto the daffodil delight strip of cardstock).  If you want book a workshop and I will come and make this for you and all your guests can make it as well.

 

And here it is pulled down all the way.  Pretty neat, right?

 

And I wanted to use the little space guy but he was to big for the outside squares (white cardstock is 1 1/2" squares) so I decided to place a piece of white cardstock on the inside and stamp him and the countdown to blast off image.

Time to Grow Up

Today at Sisters in Stamping we are continuing our tour through the sections of the catalog.  This week our stop is the Growing Up section. There are so many cute sets from baby to teen.  I decided to go with a little boy card today because I know that is what I am most often asked to make and I always find it a little challenging. Go figure, I have 2 boys myself but I find boy cards challenging. 

I used the cute little set, I Dig You, which is great for little boys that are into the big Tonka type trucks. Oh heck, even for the little girls who like to play with them, too. I know growing up my sister loved to play with her Tonka trucks more than her dolls.

Isn't it a great "Dirt" day card? (Sorry, just couldn't resist the play on words from the set) I used four of the new 2012-2014 In Colors to create this card.  I also decided while making this card that I need to challenge myself to not use the big shot on a project. Gasp, I know!  It's really hard for me to not add some texture to everything I make now. Oh well, who wants plain cardstock when you can have nice textured cardstock? Not me, that's for sure!

I stamped the presents on a separate piece of cardstock and cut them out. They are attached to the top of the dump truck with a dimensional (like I needed to tell you that part). I really like the dimension on them and the fact that they are going "off" the top of the cardstock the truck is stamped on.

Don't forget to head on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for even more great ideas using the stamps from the Growing Up section of the 2012-2013 catalog.
