I just love the Zoo Babies stamp set and I’m so happy to see that it is staying in the catalog for another year. I’ve been trying to challenge myself to always have a card with this stamp set in my Card Maker’s Class. This is the current card choice and my Card Maker’s class is on Friday, April 24th –
It uses the Sweet Dreams Designer Series Paper in the Occasions catalog. The colors are Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Sahara Sand and if you want a girl version then switch out the Lost Lagoon for Crisp Cantaloupe and turn the designer paper over.
I used the File Tabs Edgelits to cut the top of the card. The bottom strip is punched with the Hearts Border punch. And the little hearts were added to the card too. A pretty bow made with the Sahara Sand Lace Trim – it’s also in the Occasions catalog.
A sweet little baby card. Enjoy.

Here is my creation when I paired the Crazy About You stamp set & Framelit Bundle with the Flower Pot Designer Series Paper.
I really love how this card turned out. It is a great way to use up different sizes of Designer Paper – you don’t need to have the same shape with equal borders around every layer. Just pick up whatever sizes you have and layer them up – mixing the patterns and colors. I created a bunch of variations that I used for a swap this past weekend.
The die cut HAPPY is added to the skinny strip with some staples using the Stampin’ Up! stapler – don’t miss it in this week’s WEEKLY DEALS! And don’t forget to add the extra staples to your order too.
The leaves are stamped in Garden Green and then hand cut – I used 3 leaves instead of the full image. At the base of the leaves I added a button – the ones I used were from the Sale-A-Bration pack but you could pull from various colors in our Designer Buttons in the catalog. Or make your own using the clay and molds. Here is a close up of the button –
Do you know where the twine that I tied through the button comes from? It may be a little hard to figure out. Remember the Two-Tone Trim from the Holiday catalog – we had White & Tangerine Tango and it actually carried over into the Occasions Catalog – its’ on page 49. I took the trim and untwisted it to separate the colors and then used about 4 or 5 strands two go through my button. I used both the white and the tangerine tango throughout the full assortment of cards that I made. I thought it was a fun way to use it and get solid Tangerine threads in there. The trim also comes in Natural & Old Olive.
I hope you like this card as much as I do. Below is the full list of supplies that I used – click on any of them to go straight to my online store.

The highly popular Butterfly Thinlits Dies will be here soon! Here is the latest update from Stampin’ Up!:
Butterflies Thinlits Update
We have received notice from our supplier that the container with the Butterflies Thinlits Dies was finally unloaded from the ship; however, there is a shortage of trucks, which has delayed the container being picked up. We have secured a truck to pick up the container, and, as of now, it is scheduled to be delivered to Stampin’ Up! on Friday. We will post an update as soon as they are available.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we continue to await their arrival!
So once they turn them back on (Friday it sounds like but I’ll update you for sure on my FB Business page – so make sure you Like my page and select get notifications so you will know) there is going to be a special! Here are the details on that:
We realize you may be disappointed you were not able to purchase the Thinlits in time to receive Sale-A-Bration rewards–especially in the discounted bundles. Therefore, from the day Butterflies Thinlits are again available through April 30, we are bringing you two special offers:
- Get the Butterflies Thinlits at a 15 percent discount–just $21.20!
- Buy any of the Butterflies Thinlits Bundles at the already-discounted price and choose one of three FREE Sale-A-Bration items (only available while supplies last)!
I hope one of those offers appeals to you!
Now back to my card that I created using the Butterfly Basics stamp set and the thinlits.
I used Pear Pizzazz and Blackberry Bliss for this card and created a collage like effect in the background. And I just realized the pearl fell off of the butterfly before I took this photo! well if you look closely you can still see the glue dot where the pearl is supposed to be – darn.
Here is the supply list:
