Creation Station February Blog Hop--Cute Critters

Welcome to the Creation Station February Blog Hop! Whether you've landed from Sara Levin's blog or have just started the hop, I'm glad you're here. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from every part of our global community. Every first Sunday of the month, we hope to inspire you with projects created on a theme. Be sure and hit the next link at the end of each post to hop around and see all of our projects created for you.

Our theme this month is Cute Critters. I couldn't find any cuter critters in my stamp stash than the sweet mother/baby images in the Wildly Happy stamp set (#149408). I used each of the mother/baby images to create a set of monochromatic cards:

The cards were designed with the same layout, using different colors and greetings. Each top layer became a wallpaper-like background for a greeting. The layer was stamped randomly with one of the stamp set images and then embossed with the Subtle 3D embossing folder (#151775). The top layer was layered on a coordinating piece of colored card stock and then on a Whisper White Thick card base.

The panda card was created in Misty Moonlight. The greeting is from the Wildly Happy stamp set. It was stamped in VersaMark #102283), heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder (#109132) and die cut using a Stitched Rectangles die (#151820). Misty Moonlight 1/4" ribbon (#153624) completes the card.

The foxes were stamped in Terracotta Tile. The greeting is also from the Wildly Happy stamp set. It was stamped on a piece of Whisper White card stock, die cut with the smallest circle in the Layering Circles dies (#151770), and layered over a circle die cut using a Tasteful Labels die (#152886). The ribbon is from the Ornate Garden ribbon combo pack (#152479).

The elephants were done in Gray Granite. The greeting was created using the Word Wishes dies (#149629). Three of each word were die cut using Gray Granite card stock and one of each word using Silver Foil (#132178) embossed with the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder (#152718). The words were stacked and glued together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then glued to the card front. Gray Granite 1/4" shimmer ribbon (#152463) completes the card.

The bunnies were created in Blushing Bride. The greeting was created from the Word Wishes dies just like the elephants' greeting but in Blushing Bride card stock and Blushing Bride Foil from the Love You Always Foil Sheets (#154286). Blushing Bride 3/8" metallic ribbon (#154283) completes the card.

I hope you've been inspired to create a few simple, monochromatic cards today. Now it's time to be inspired by my stampin' friend from Australia, Vicki Boucher. Head on over to her blog by clicking on the link below:
