Congrats on Your Little Nugget

Hello!  Today is release day for Trinity Stamps and they have some of the cutest new goodies.  One of my favorites is the Nugs and Kisses Stamp and Die Collection.  There are a few stamps that are just perfect for a new baby card that is a fun step away from the usual images.  I have linked my YouTube video down below if you would like to see a more detailed process to make this card.

For this card, I used the Outdoors Borders and Scene Builders Die to create my background.  I cut two layers of grass and the foliage for the trees out of a medium green cardstock.  The picket fence is cut from white cardstock. I used one of the pieces meant to be part of a tree to create my bushes using a lighter green cardstock.  

I always like to dust the edges of my stand alone die cuts with a little ink to soften the edges and give the piece a little more depth and texture.  The for the grass, bushes and tree top, I used Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink.  I did add just a little Gathered Twigs to the tree trunks.  

I used the Puffy Cloud Layers Stencil to lay in some clouds using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink.  

Once the background is created, I cut it down to do 5.25" x 4.0".

I have colored my little nuggets using Copic Markers in the following colors:

• Y08, Y19, YR23 - Cheese Sauce
• Y26, YR23, YR24 - Nuggets
• R27, R39 - Hearts
• E30, E51, Y23 - Sauce Container

I heat embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder on one of my bushes.  

I popped up the sentiment bush and nugget family using foam squares. As I was putting it together, I felt like the top of the card was just bare.  I had originally thought about using an older die called Build A Banner.  Alternatively, you could go back to the Outdoors Borders and Scene Builders Die and add a few birds to fill i the space.

I think this is just a really fun and unusual baby card and can't wait to send it the next time I need one of those cards.  

Thank you for stopping by today!
