Bonanza Dies

Blogging Friends Blog Hop – Baby Come Rockin’

· 4 Comments

Hello and happy Friday!

How has your crafting mojo been?

How about a blog hop to inspire you?

Our theme this month is Baby Come Rockin’, a card for a baby.

I had to think about this one……..until I remembered I had this cute little Welcome Easter stamp set that also has a baby sentiment in the mix! Just look how adorable –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up!, Welcome Easter, Ornate Floral EF, Bonanza Dies, BFBH

What makes this card? This adorable embossed background, its the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder! It’s just too sweet, soft and perfect!

The little fussy cut lamb is adorable too!

The banners are from the Bonanza Dies. It just adds to the cuteness!

I hope I inspired you today to mix up you products! Check out the others on the hop for more great inspiration!

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

Optional Theme : Jungle Fever

I stretched the theme with my card –

libbystamps, Stampin' Up!, Label Me Bold, Bonanza Dies, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Birthday Bonanza DSP, Classic Label Punch, TSOT

Toucans are in the jungle, right? Lol!

This was such a fun sketch that I just had to take it in a fun way!

I used the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper for most of the card, including the toucan himself! One of the patterns is miscellaneous toucans that can be cut with a coordinating die from Bonanza Dies.

The cute little toucan sits on a Stitched So Sweetly die cut shape.

And, the sentiment is from Label Me Bold. Simple, effective, and not over powering.

Check out out the other Design Team cards on our Try Stampin’ on Tuesday blog or Facebook page. You can also play along with our challenge and show us your cards on either site.
