Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop: March 2013 Edition



Sometimes, after a loooong day, it feels sooooo good to just get your fingers all inky! It’s been a busy couple of weeks but it felt great to have an excuse to lock myself down in my craft room for an evening! After all, I needed to create some projects for you for this month’s Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad Hop!!


This month, our theme is Spring and all things related to it -- Easter, Baptism, Confirmation, Baby, etc.

The participants this month are:

  1. Shellie G. of Craft Smashup
  2. Annie L. of Love Me Cards
  3. Nancy B. of Lady Stamps-A-Lot
  4. Rose C. of Stamp with Rose
  5. Tonya B. of Stampin' with Tonya
  6. Dawn S. of Dawn's Creative Chalet
  7. Darcy J. of DJ's Stampin' Place
  8. Pamela W. of Stinky Tofu
  9. Kim R. of Stamping with Kim
  10. Heidi B of Stuck on Stampin'
  11. Jennifer B of NW Stamper
  12. Bree of Craft-somnia
  13. Diana E of Stampin' Fun with Diana

I know of a bunch of babies that are to arrive later this Spring so I thought I'd better get a head start on some cards to welcome them!


I rolled the Baby Tees Wheel onto my Whisper White cardstock and then picked my favorite onesie to color. I then cut it out and "hung" it on that super-cute hanger!!

That "gingham" technique is super-cool! You use your brayer to ink up the raised parts of your embossing folder and then run it through the Big Shot. Then you repeat the process a second time. Such a neat effect!
