ssink - quick and easy

It's quick and easy cards today at the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog. I love how easily these two baby cards came together...both using the same layout. I needed a handful of "congrats baby" cards and really wanted something I could create in a snap! After deciding on this layout, I just changed up the colors to match whether it's for a boy or girl!

Stamp Sets	Zoo Babies
Ink	Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Smokey Slate
Paper	Melon Mambo, Bermuda Baby, Smokey Slate, Whisper White, Brights DSP (Daffodil Delight Chevron)
Accessories	SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Melon Mambo 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Bermuda Baby 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Pearls
Tools	Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Circle Framelits, Bitty Banner Framelits, Bitty Heart Punch

We'd love for you to stop by to see what other cards the SSINK designers have created that are quick and easy! Click on the picture below to head on over for a visit!

ssink - two step stamping child's birthday card!

It's Technique Tuesday at the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog and I have a quick and easy card to showcase that technique. I used the Zoo Babies stamp set and wanted the bird to sit on the back of the rhinoceros. This is where the two-step stamping comes in. I first stamped the rhino and then the bird on top of him. The set I used was clear mount, but my perfectionistic ways wouldn't allow me just to "wing it", so I pulled out my trusty Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line the bird up just right!

Two little buddies hanging out together!

I used the Circle Card Thinlits, so the card swings open to reveal the second part of the birthday greeting on the back with just enough room for someone to sign their name.

Stamp Sets	Zoo Babies, Remembering Your Birthday
Ink	Pumpkin Pie, Sahara Sand
Paper	Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Sweet Taffy DSP
Accessories	SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Rhinestones, Brights Candy Dots (Pumpkin Pie)
Tools	Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Circle Card Thinlits, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig

I am also linking up this week for The Paper Players Clean & Simple Challenge featuring a child's birthday theme!! I think this would be the perfect card for a child's birthday!
