More Animal Crackers

Here's another card using Animal Crackers, which retires at the end of the month.  The Designer Series Paper is Close to Cocoa Prints.  It's retired, but if you want a pack I can get one for you.  It's great for more masculine or, in this case, Autumn looking cards.  This DSP was also used on the trifold shutter card using the retired set Backwoods (see tags).

This card also uses the Trio Flower Punch (retiring), Boho Blossoms punch, several oval punches and brads from Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware (love that stuff).

Baby Cards

I cannot believe that I have only posted one other card using the adorable stamp set Animal Crackers (which retires at the end of the month).  I use this set lots!  Here are two baby cards I made.  Perhaps I didn't post them because I used some retired supplies and the one card uses a non-SU alphabet set.  The other card uses Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I use that set so often that I don't usually bother to tag it.

Correction (added 1/13/11):  The sentiment on the first card comes from Fun and Fast Notes (not Teeny Tiny Wishes, which does have a baby stamp that says hello baby).  I used my marker to ink up only the words on the baby carriage stamp.

Easter Fun Class (SAUMC Preschool Fundraiser)

Here are the projects we will be making at the Easter Fun Class on Wednesday, March 24.  You can come at either 9:30am or 6:30pm.  This class has 3 cute projects that adults will enjoy making, but would also be good for kids.  All kids must be accompanied by an adult.  Half of the registration fee will be donated to the preschool at St. Andrews UMC, which is a wonderful program that has won awards and has a fantastic staff.

There are two cards and a carrot cone.  The cone can be given as is, kind of like a 3-d card or you can add treats for that special someone.

While I love designing my own projects, sometimes there's no sense re-inventing the wheel.  I got the ideas for all three of these cards from other talented Stampin' Up demonstrators.  In fact, if you become a demonstrator, you'd have access to thousands of ideas that are only available to demonstrators.  Plus you'd get a discount on all of your Stampin' Up purchases and earn money on any you sell.  As if that's not good enough, the starter kit is 15% off through the end of March, plus comes with a free stamp set (up to a $47.95 value).  I'd be happy to tell you all about it.

The chick card was copied, but modified from one done by Mary Jo Price Williams.  The carrot cone is nearly an exact copy and the punch bunny card is modified from a scrapbook page.
