Hello Honey Duck for Paper Players #197

Hello and Happy Sunday! LeAnne has designed a really fun sketch for us this week at The Paper PlayersI always enjoy having a great sketch as a starting point for a card. It really helps get the creative mojo working. 

I really wanted to play around with some of the new In Colors that will be in the upcoming Stampin' Up! catalog. The Moonlight Designer Series Paper Pad has some awesome patterns with the new colors, so I started there. Lost Lagoon and Hello Honey are two colors that look SO pretty together! Perfect for a baby card, using the new Something for Baby set, too. That little duck is so stinking cute! 
The little banner sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set and it was the perfect size. I added the Lost Lagoon ribbon at the very end because the card needed something there to fill the space. Since this card will be paired with a gift for a friend, I thought that layer with the ribbon kind of looked like a gift box. Maybe? Just me? Ok, I tried. Ha! I really like how this one came out and I hope you do too. Leave me a comment and let me know. I'd love to hear from you. :)

Something for Baby for Paper Players #195

Hello stamping friends! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! This week at the Paper Players, we have a fun color trio brought to you by Sandy. I decided it would be a fun to make a baby card with the brand new Something for Baby stamp set, which also has coordinating die cuts to go along with it. It will be coming out in the new Stampin' Up! catalog in June. The sentiment is also from a new set called Something to Say.
For my layout, I was inspired by Narelle's awesome sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches
There are lots of layers on this card. Shocking, right? Ha! I also had a little trouble getting the sentiment to fit, so I stamped it on the little wooden circle for something a little different. I haven't used those little wooden accents yet and I really like how it adds an extra pop of dimension to the card. I added the little silver hanger at the last minute and after I did all I could think about was maybe I shouldn't have. Did you see the movie Mommie Dearest? Wire hangers are NOT necessarily always a good thing. Eeek! 
Here is a quick look at the inside of the card. I smudged a little ink on the bottom left corner, so I added the punched detail so I wouldn't have to redo it. Phew!
