You might have thought the Basket Bunch Photopolymer Stamp Set was only for Easter or spring, but no! The bunny in the stamp set is just too cute and I think is perfect for a baby card! A baby card for a baby boy with bunnies just by adding some blue touches or pink for a girl…or whatever pleases you.
This easy card starts with a card base of Soft Suede Cardstock, layered with a piece of Soft Sky Cardstock. Of course you could use any color that you like or that goes with a theme of a party or baby shower or with a gift. Then on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock I randomly stamped the bunny in Soft Suede ink. I could have colored in every bunny, but of course that would be a lot of coloring! I thought it would be fun to just color one like a spotlight on one bunny!
To color the bunny, I used the Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils. I love the Watercolor Pencils even from back in my early Stampin’ Up! days with the original watercolor pencils. These current Watercolor Pencils are even better because they are in Stampin’ Up! colors. Just color lightly with the pencils, then go over the coloring with a Blender Pen. This softens and blends the color. I love using the Blender Pens!
For a little greeting on the card, I turned to one of my most useful stamp sets, Teeny Tiny Wishes. I’m SO glad this stamp set is not retiring! I have used it a lot over the years that it has been out. I prefer the wood-mount set with small images like these small words and phrases. The greeting is stamped on Whisper White and punched with the Classic Label Punch. Now to make a layer, just adhere this greeting to a larger piece of Soft Suede and then cut around it ….or vice versa, cut the greeting piece smaller after punching out a layer of the Soft Suede Cardstock. For a little accent, I used the little hearts in the Subtles Enamel Shapes package. I believe the twine I used is retired but I had it in my stash!
There is only about a week left of the Retiring Products being available from Stampin’ Up! so don’t delay if there are products you want! Here is the math on the Basket Bunch Stamp Set and the Basket Builder Framelits Dies: Stamp set on sale for $16.80, Basket Builder Framelits Dies on sale $15.50 so the total for the stamp set and dies would be $32.30. The Basket Bunch Bundle actually costs $46.75 so in this case it would be cheaper to buy the stamp set and dies separately! Quite a savings for a stamp set that has a very useful and versatile basket stamp and die, flowers and dies, chicks, bunny and bow that can be used in SO many projects! As long as you can look up a product in the Online Store, it is still available, so that is a good way to check rather than look at the list or wonder.
I hope you enjoyed this way to use the bunny in the Basket Bunch Stamp Set to make a baby card for a baby boy or girl or maybe even just a young child’s birthday.
