FAR OUT BABY SHOWER GIFT | with Kathy

My friend's daughter is expecting her first child... a little boy!  We are all so excited for them!  When I received the shower invitation and saw that the theme was outer space, I knew I had to use the new So Much Pun - Far Out Stamps to make her something!  I decide to make her a first year mini album, and a little box card featuring some cut files from the So Much Pun Collection.

I started with the So Much Pun Space Ship File which is available in SVG in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop as well as in the Silhouette Store.  I worked with the flat file and transformed it into a box card.

I love this little alien!! I added a piece of transparency to the bubble part of the card to make it more sturdy.  I then added the little star and a speech bubble sentiment.  The card folds flat to fit in an envelope.

For the Album, I started by stamping all of the images from the So Much Pun Far Out Set a few times.  I heat embossed the images, colored them using my Copic Markers and cut them out using the coordinating dies.   For the cover, I created a little space scene with some of these images.

Each page of the album is actually an envelope.  You can slide a photo into the top, making it look similar to an instant photo.  I added some stamped images to each of the pages.

On the back of each album page is a note card to record the baby's monthly statistics.  I created a page for the birth picture, then one for each of the first 12 months.  Here are some close-ups.  I used some coordinating Teensy Type Stickers to add the months.

The Far Out Stamps were really perfect for this project!

I created a Silhouette Cut file for the pages of the album.  You can access it for free on my blog here.  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

STAMPING AND INTERACTIVE CARDS | with Barbara

Hi everyone, Barbara here with a couple of cards using the 'Far Out Doodle Stamps and Doodle Cuts. And one card even has a little action going on!



My first card is pretty Clean and Simple with a play on words using an image as part of the sentiment. I started by creating my galaxy background by sponging ink and splattering with some slightly watered-down white craft paint. Then I stamped the moon image, cut it out with the coordinating Doodle Cuts and colored it with Copic markers. I placed it temporarily where I wanted it and then arranged the stamp around it, heat embossing it in three steps — I can’t bear to cut up stamps so I did some creative masking with a stamp positioner :)

Once I had the sentiment done, I adhered the panel to a white card base with foam tape then popped up the moon on foam tape for the finish.

My second card is interactive. The rocket blasts off out of the clouds when one pulls on the pull strip.To create my background, I again splattered some watered-down white craft paint on blue card stock from the Jewel Textured Cardstock Assortment, did some measurements, and cut the slider channel for the rocket. The pull tab mechanism was created and I drew the up arrow on it with a black pen.

Images from Far Out Doodle Stamps were stamped, cut out with coordinating Doodle Cuts and colored with Copic markers. I added some rocket vapor clouds, the two back ones cut from Gingham Linen Rainbow Petite Prints 12 x 12 and the front from white card stock with the sentiment stamped on it. The above photo shows the rocket at the lowest point…

…and this photo shows it at it’s highest.

Here’s a little video that shows it in action:

How fun it that??? Once the slider mechanism was done and covered with the white vapor cloud, I popped up the moon and planet on foam tape.

And that’s it from me today! Thanks for stopping by! I hope I’ve given you some ideas for using YOUR Far Out Doodle Stamps and Doodle Cuts.
