Kangaroo Just For You Cards

I hate to tempt you with these Kangaroo Just For You Cards because the Kangaroo & Company Stamp Set is sold out. But I loved making these even though I was a little late to the party with ordering the stamp set and dies and even later in using them. I’m sure you have seen plenty of samples of the Kangaroo cards. There are so many cute ideas out there!

If you already have the Kangaroo & Company Stamp Set, but you don’t own the Kangaroo Dies, I would encourage you to order them now! They are on the Last Chance List for the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and are HALF-PRICE! Sometimes dies are just an extra expense when we want so many things, but for this price, I would get them.

Kangaroo Dies #154334

Just search for “Kangaroo” or else the item number #154334 for them to come up.

Here is another card I made a little while back. This stamp set and dies can be used for birthday cards, baby cards, general “thinking of you” cards, all kinds of fun occasions! As I said, the stamp set seems to be sold out, but if you already have it, you might want to get the dies at half-price.

Sometimes when I make cards, I like to make several at one time while I have all the supplies out and mainly the idea for the design! For this set of cards, I just chose several colors of cardstock and started stamping and die-cutting! If you make cards assembly-line style, stamp all the kangaroos, stamp all the flowers, stamp all the card bases, do all the die-cutting of each thing, etc. it goes pretty fast. You develop sort of a muscle memory while you are doing it! This is especially useful for Christmas cards!

Check out the Last Chance products, some discounted, before the end of June if there are any retiring products you want from the Spring Mini!

Kangaroo & Company Baby Card

Kangaroo & Company Baby Card

Who doesn’t love the image of a kangaroo and a baby in her pouch as on this Kangaroo & Company Baby Card? Although I’ve had this stamp set and dies for a while and thought it was such a cute set, I hadn’t been using it. If I had waited even longer, I could have gotten the dies on a steal right now on the Last Chance list for the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog! But you can still take advantage of this Bundle. Actually, it is a better deal to NOT buy the Bundle and to buy the stamp set and dies separately because the dies are 50% off, while supplies last!

This card uses the Kangaroo & Company Stamp Set (sold out now) and Kangaroo Dies. The stamp set comes with so many cute little stamps from hearts to packages to flowers, even a party hat. And many greetings to use for all kinds of occasions! So the kangaroo doesn’t have to be just for kids or babies! You can get by with just the stamp set and just do stamping or even cut things out by hand, but at the 50% off price for the dies, I think they are well worth it!

To make this card, I used a Soft Suede Cardstock card base and a layer of Daffodil Delight patterned paper in the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper. I used one of the Scalloped Contour Dies (one of the best dies sets we’ve ever had!) to cut out a Basic White scalloped panel and then stamped the kangaroo on it for the card front. I decided to add a layer of Soft Suede underneath to help it stand out from the designer paper.

A fun thing you can do with this kangaroo, is cut a slit in its pouch in which you can insert on of the stamps in the set, whether the baby kangaroo, flowers, heart, or whatever you want. You could maybe even write a message on the back so the recipient can pull it out of the pouch and read the message or insert it but adhere it with a Glue Dot or even a Stampin’ Dimensional to have it pop up a bit.

I colored the kangaroos with Stampin’ Blend, mostly in Light and Dark Crumb Cake and maybe a little Soft Suede. The group of hearts was stamped and colored in with Real Red and also Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends. You can use whatever colors you like! So many choices!

The “Hello Baby” greeting is stamped and die cut with the die in the Tasteful Labels Dies. I also cut one in Daffodil Delight, then trimmed down the greeting die-cut to fit layered over the yellow die-cut. For some bling, I added some Resin Hearts Embellishments, 50% off now in the Last Chance Sale! For half-price, you can have a package of stick-on hearts to use for many occasions just as a little embellishment. The hearts come in white and red.

You could make this same card and just change the greeting and send it for occasions other than a new baby! The Kangaroo & Company Stamp Set is very versatile, cute and fun to use, so take a look at it in the Spring Mini Catalog before it retires and while they are still available, I would consider the half-price dies as well!
