Stamping Country

Zoo Babies

The Zoo Babies stamp set by Stampin' Up! offers a variety zoo babies as well as 2 baby greetings.  With 6 sons and 6 grandsons, I'm experienced in Rough and Tumble Boys projects.  It's time to brush up on my Fru Fru and Frill skills.  We're expecting  our first granddaughter in 2 short weeks.

My Baby Girl Card wouldn't be complete without the "cutest baby ever" stamp from the Label Love Stamp Set.  Coordinating punches are 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch and the Artisan Label Punch.

I chose the Rhino from the Zoo Babies Stamp set for my tag.  She's stamped with Daffodil Delight ink and instead of painted nails she sports Melon Mambo horns.  Her sassy Flower is punched with the Itty Bitty Punch Pack and centered with a Candy Dot. Both my Gingham Garden Tag and my Rhino tag were cut with the Chalk Talk Framelits.
