Zoo Babies for As You See It Challenges


Happy Friday! Another stamp set that is retiring from the Stampin' Up!'s 2014/15 Annual Catalogue is Memorable Moments. I decided to use it to make a birthday card for my granddaughter, Cedar's first birthday!  The card's layout is inspired by As You See It Challenges' new sketch for today:



The colours I used are Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride, Early Espresso, Whisper White and a retiring In Colour, Coastal Cabana!



  • I used the Early Espresso as a narrow matte on many of the panels to give contrast and definition. It also was great for the sentiments.
  • I stamped the elephant from Zoo Babies in Crumb Cake ink on the Whisper White panel, but also on the back of a sheet of the Blushing Bride polka dot design from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack (which, by the way, is also retiring, but making way for a new set of designs). I hand snipped the ear out with a little extra flap and added it to the elephant on the Whisper White. The flag made from the DSP backed with Early Espresso is actually passed through 2 vertical slits in the Whisper White panel.
  • I used the Memorable Moments set for the '1st' and trimmed it to fit the space. I used part of the Artisan Label punch to get the shapes on the ends. The heart is punched from Coastal Cabana cardstock using one of the Itty Bitty Accents punches.
Thanks for dropping by my blog today and if you stop back again Monday, I will have a sneak peek from the new 2015/16 Annual Catalogue for you!
