Welcome Baby Giraffe Digital Stamp Handmade Card

Welcome to a new Cards By Kendra blog post!  

Today I wanted to share with you this cute "Welcome Baby" card that I made! If you saw my last blog post, you'll notice I used the same background since I've been experimenting with Distress Oxide inks.  I wanted to try using a different giraffe stamp this time.

  

This was the first time I've ever used a digital stamp and I am totally thrilled with the results!!  This cute heart spotted giraffe digital stamp is from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.  I printed it on #80 Neenah Solar White yardstick and colored it using alcohol markers   The background was made with the giraffe stencil from Whimsy Stamps. I taped the stencil to the back of a sheet of 4"x6" photo paper and applied Distress Oxide ink in Walnut Stain using a Picket Fence Life Changing Blender Brush.  I immediately removed the stencil and wiped it with a wet paper towel to remove the cloudy pigment coating. I trimmed the photo paper down to 4”x5.25” and attached it to a top 110# Neenah Solar White cardstock base cut to 4.25” x 11” and scored at 5.5” using Tombow Adhesive..  

I used the stitched circle nested dies to cut out both the giraffe on white card stock and the frame from designer paper in Flirty Flamingo from Stampin' Up!.  I used "Well Written" dies from Stampin' Up! for the "welcome" and "baby"sentiments. I cut out two white and one pink layer for each of the words and glued them together to give it depth and a shadow.  I adhered the die cuts to the card using 3D pop micro dots (0.12").

I brushed the die cuts with clear Wink of Stella.  I added a banner made with Soft Suede card stock.  I layered a stitched banner on top made with Flirty Flamingo card stock.  I embellished it with a matching button.   

I think I'm going to have to look into more digital stamps!!  Have you ever used a digital stamp?  Let me know in the comments!

I hope you like my "Welcome Baby" card! I'd love to read your comments!  If you make this card (or one similar), I'd love to see a photo!
