Elephant Emboss

This should be fun - Can You Handle the Pressure has a "baby" twist for this round, I don't make too many of those!
I decided to pull out my Wildly Happy set from 2021, that shows the various baby animals with their moms (or dads, could be, lol.)  I don't think I've done the elephant pair before, and I wanted it to be super simple, so I could feature the embossing.  I decided to use one of our new Basics Trio folders, and I have decided to start calling this one the elephant folder, lol, because the DE-boss side looks JUST like an elephant hide!  So cool!  I colored these cuties with my blends, and then ended up coloring my tiny sentiment, too, for a tiny pop of color.  After I added those Pebble Enamel Shapes, it was just all gray, all the way, and I needed to break it up!

Very cool - what a great day to celebrate at Festive Friday #130 - International Children's Book Day!
It was rough to realize I didn't have much in the way of BOOKS for this one, sigh.  But I pulled some things I'm really happy with from the list - bright colors, alphabet letters, patterned paper and square!  I tried to make it look a little like kids alphabet blocks, with a congratulatory "parents" sentiment below!  I let my brights theme carry through, too, and added the last missing color to my envelope - very cheery!

Super cute theme this round at Cardz 4 Guyz #306 - teddy bears!
I have several BEARS in my stamps, but turns out I only have ONE actual teddy bear, lol.  I pulled this cutie out of my old Baby Bundle set from 2011 - still my fave baby set!  I kept this card super simple, with a pretty Pool Party Timber background, and a cute baby shower tag on top.  I really love the look of this!  Hopefully I get invited to a baby shower soon, lol...

Awww!  We're all about the little bundles of joy this week at As You See It #282!
I almost always go back to some retired favorites for baby cards - I've always been smitten by a cute onesie, lol.  But since we have just the sentiment in our Happier Than Happy set, I decided to play some current critters on this one!  The coordinating DSP is so adorable, I couldn't resist a major feature today - check out this cheery scene!  I added some Linen Thread for my baby tag, and a few spots of light with some Brushed Metallic Gold Dots, but really, this is all about the paper, lol.  I like that this could girl OR boy, too!
I can't wait to see YOUR baby creations this week!  Meet you at the challenge!

We have another scrummy recipe for you this week at As You See It #275!
I had to dig deep for this one - the Something Shiny was almost my undoing!  I was super excited to roll out the new Happier Than Happy suite for it - B is for Bear!  There were even some subtle colors in the DSP, thought I didn't choose the best sheet to show that, lol.  I tried to soften things more by adding a Timber-embossed background in So Saffron, some Soft Sea Foam trees, and my baby tag is in Pool Party.  Such fabulous dies!  Then I hit on some shiny gold ribbon to finish things off - mission accomplished!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our little cooking challenge - meet you at the challenge!

Goodness, how cute is the "oh, birdie" cupcake at this week's Cupcake Inspiration #522?!
I dug around a little for some "chicks," but the ones I found weren't quite right.  But then I remembered that I have Birds & Branches, which has this lovely nest in it AND dies to go with!  And well, I hardly ever use this set, lol.  Winner winner!  I decided to make a sweet congrats card, and show some pretty eggs in the nest, with the proud parents looking on.  This pretty sentiment from Many Messages, which I also don't use enough, seemed just right!  So cute!

I'm stoked about this week's CAS on Friday #204 - I don't often have the chance to make baby cards, and this is good push!
I can't resist pulling out my Little Elephant set for this one - I love these guys!  I decided to go gender neutral with some greens today, too - so here's a look at Soft Sea Foam with with our new Soft Succulent - pretty!  I kept things pretty bare for the CAS brief, but I couldn't resist a few of these Soft Sea Foam Epoxy Dots I found - at least I hope that's what color they are, lol.  Let's hear it for the elephants!

Awww, Less is More #438 has a baby theme for us this week!  I don't get to do too many of these!
I decided I wanted to use my Wildly Happy stamp set - I really don't ink that one up too often, AND, I've never stamped the pandas!  Time to fix that!  I quickly figured out that it was harder than I though, lol.  Pandas, so simple, all black and white, how hard can it be??  Argh!  Coloring in the markings too much obscured all their cute features, and the "sketchy" nature of the image.  I finally settled on some water painting to add rough color, leaving in some detail with brushstrokes that I hope match the line art a little.  I'm still on the fence about how much I like the finished look, lol.  I couldn't resist a few silver pearls, too - there's no color!

We have a lovely tri-paneled sketch from Inspire Create Challenge #056 today -  and I think I can sneak in The Sisterhood of Crafters' "Forest Friends" challenge, too!
So when I think "forest friends,"  I can't help but go straight to our sweetly gorgeous Wildly Happy set.  I love all these animal families snuggling for us!  I really wanted to do the fox and her kit today, and the foxy colors made me want to pull out this retired Painted Seasons DSP - I have gobs of this stuff so I never run out, lol.  I've actually been trying hard to kick the hoarding habit, but this pack set off all my "mine!mine!mine!" reflexes!  I think this sheet makes a sweet background for our pretty vixen!

Another fun challenge from CAS on Friday #164 - animals!
A set I haven't used much is our new hostess set, Time For Tags - we have an awesome punch for all the tag shapes included in this set!  I even had my choice of animals - there's a little "for you" birdie, too, lol.  Anyway, this giraffe (well, AND the pineapple, lol) are the whole reason I got this set, and, as is typical of me, I haven't used either one yet, sigh.  But today is the day!  I kep it pretty CAS - naked card base, a simple popped-up tag, and well, I decided to add a little bunting with our Scalloped Linen Trim - love this Purple Posy color - I'm hearing rumors that the stamp pad will be here soon!
Time For Tags Stamp Set; Purple Posy & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Purple Posy, So Saffron & Crumb Cake Blends Markers; Large Polka Dots EF (retired); Timeless Label Punch; Scalloped Linen Trim in Purple Posy; #CASOF164.
