Distress Ink Stripes with Hello Bluebird Stamps

Image
Hello crafty friends! I wanted to share a video featuring the adorable stamps from Hello Bluebird Stamps .  I was so excited to color all the images from the Jungle Littles stamp set that I decided to some up with a clean, simple, easy card design that would allow each critter to star on their own card. I decided on some Distress Oxide Ink stripes. Some simple Post-It Note tape masking made these quick and fun to create. Each animal for a unique color of stripes and an accessory or two from the stamp set to finish off the card. The large sentiment is from the Spring Script stamp set .

I was inspired to start with Wild Ones because it was a birthday set featuring my favorite thing to color: critters. I decided to make a card, a cake topper, a treat bag, and a name plate. For more information check out my video below: I decided to come up with a simple soft color scheme that could be used throughout and was inspired by the animals as well as the treats I had. I kept my cake topper simple because it is essentially disposable after the party, but I wanted the scale of it to match the cake and be noticed. I pulled the yellow of the animals into the ensemble a bit more with some yellow candies and again kept the decoration simple as the candy is really more the focus. However I felt like party guests would get a kick out of a personalized name tag and took a bit more care with this piece. I would make the name tags longer or shorter to accommodate the length of...

Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial featuring Doodlebug.
