Hello everyone! Stamping 411 has a new Saturday Sketch for you this week!
These little squares are so easy to do when you use Stampin' Up! Punches! I used the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" Square punches for my "Welcome Baby" card this week. It makes quick work and a cute project! Especially nice for a baby card, I think, as it lets you bring in all the soft images and colors!
As you can see, I took some liberties with the sketch by turning it on it's side and adding a bit of trim and ribbon!
The stamp sets are Fox & Friends and the Level 2 Hostess Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog, Something to Celebrate. I stamped the images wth Versamark Ink and then sponged the color over them. A little Emboss-resist is the perfect soft technique for a Baby Card!
The colors are Daffodil Delight, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Marina Mist and Whisper White. The ribbon is 3/8" Whisper White Taffeta.
Here's This week's Measurements:
- Layer One -- Daffodil Delight cut at 5.5 x8.5", scored and folded to form the Card Base
- Layer Two -- Certainly Celery -- cut at 3.5 x 5.25"
- Layer Three -- Whisper White cut at .5 x 5.25" -- use the Scallop Trim Border Punch (or another Border Punch) to trim and attach to the back of Layer 2. Run ribbon across and attach to the back of layer.
- Punched Elements -- punch out the two different sizes of cardstock and attach to each other -- mount on the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Well, that was quick and easy, wasn't it!
Don't forget to check out the Stamping 411 Blog to see the gorgeous creations that the other Operators have done this week! You'll be glad you did!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I do hope you'll come back soon!
Gretchen this is the perfect baby card, the sweet little images & soft colors...love it!

When I saw your use of the square punches I knew I had to enter this weekends' sketch challenge and make those wonderful little lacy squares using your tutorial on the edge and border punches together. That's all I knew until I picked my colors out. Thanks for being such an inspirational leader to me! I'm having a blast as a Demonstrator!

sorry for my ignorance, I thought when you used Versamark and put color over it, the monkey or whale will be the color of your sponge. But how did you get the background color? Thx you
