Stampin’ Up! Duck Duck Takes a Selfie With Basket For You

Well – it’s done.  I’m officially in Savannah.  And it’s officially hot as all get out here.

It actually went up from here to 102F.  But at that point, my phone was just lying limply on the seat of the car, too hot to even care. 🙂

I was going to show you a picture of my packed Soul – which was also going to be my load-plan to get it all back home.  My hubby can PACK A CAR.  Like….seriously.  But – hot.  Too hot for photo ops – and I wanted to get back inside.  So I forgot to take my load plan pictures.  I drew a sketch.  It probably won’t help.  But I tried, okay?

I got everything unpacked and set up.  It’s Deja Vu all over again…..

So – I’m cooking with gas and ready to rock!  But…slowly and only inside.  Cuz…hot!

On to the card for the day.  It’s a selfie of Duck Duck.  She got all dolled up and draped a pretty ribbon around her neck and…hitched herself to a wagon full of posies.  Weird – I do not know where she got that wagon….And she asked me to make a card with the picture – so I did.  And it seemed like the gorgeous host-exclusive set – Basket For You – was just the thing to complement her Chinese-goose self (yes, I’ve finally nailed down her….type).  Take a look-see:

She takes a nice picture, doesn’t she?  Didn’t even have a selfie stick.

Or…arms… 😉

Okay – enough of that!  I can’t believe I had you all fooled with this.  Duh – obviously this is a stamp!  Not a Stampin’ Up! stamp – but one that my mom sent me and I think it’s awfully cute, so I wanted to use it.

The layout comes from challenge #244 over at Freshly Made Sketches:

I started by SNAILing a panel from the A Little Foxy DSP Stack to a mat of Peekaboo Peach.  For the art work, I stamped the goose in Soft Suede on a piece of Whisper White card stock.  I cut it out with a die from the Oval Layering Framelits.  I used successively larger dies to make the multiple mats – some scallop, some straight.  Then I SNAILd the white ovals to their Peekaboo Peach mats.

I colored my goose with a number of Stampin’ Write Markers – in Pink Pirouette, Flirty Flamingo, Wild Wasabi and Peekaboo Peach.  To assemble the card, I SNAILd the largest oval directly to the card front and then wrapped a piece of Peekaboo Peach 3/8″ Ruched Ribbon around the card front, securing it in the back with scotch tape.  Then I popped the goose-y ovals over the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I made a little bow with the Ruched Ribbon and stuck it on the card with a Glue Dot.  I also added a little heart in Peekaboo Peach from the 2016-2018 In Color Enamel Shapes pack.

The sentiment is from Basket For You, stamped in Peekaboo Peach on Whisper White.  Then I cut it out with the matching die from the Bunch of Banners Framelits set.  It’s adhered to the card front with Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

On the inside, I had a little fun with the striped image in Basket For You.  First, I stamped it in Smoky Slate across the bottom of a Whipser White panel.  Then I came back and stamped it again – offset a little (it’s photopolymer, so it’s easy to line up) – and stamped it in Peekaboo Peach.  I stuck a sticky note over that image and stamped the little posies in Soft Suede all across the bottom.  When I pulled off the sticky note…

I colored the flower with Daffodil Delight, Pink Pirouette, Flirty Flamingo and Wild Wasabi Stampin’ Write Markers and then added another little enamel heart.  I SNAILd the panel to a Peekaboo Peach mat and into my Smoky Slate card base.  I popped the front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done! 🙂

On the front of the Whisper White Medium Envelope, I repeated the Basket For You stripes in Smoky Slate and Peekaboo Peach.  The stamped image isn’t as long as the envelope, but that’s okay – I just centered it on the front.  The flowers are once again stamped in Soft Suede and colored just like on the inside of the card…

…and I used some more of the A Little Foxy DSP Stack paper to make a custom envelope flap cover.

Et Voila!  I think this is just a darling little stamp, don’t you?  And Basket For You doesn’t need any hype, does it?  We all know it rocks!
