Pals Blog Hop – Cute Critters with Kangaroo and Company!

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Cute Critters” – showcasing their card/project with adorable animals, birds, or insects for any occasion. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

The critter I chose for this “Cute Critters” hop is the adorable kangaroo from the Kangaroo & Company stamp set. This set is so cute and economical. When you run the kangaroo through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, the pouch is cut so you can add the baby kangaroo, flowers, presents, hearts, or an envelope! The sentiments can be used for welcoming a baby, happy birthday, thank you, or just a note

Kangaroo and Company Card Instructions

Cut

• Balmy Blue Card Base – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″

Stamp

• Place the polka dot stencil from the Decorative Masks set over the large piece of Basic White cardstock. You can tape it down on your work area.
• Use the Balmy Blue ink and blending brush to blend the ink onto the paper. Place larger amounts in the center and blend outwards. Remove the stencil.
• Using the Stamparatus positioning tool, stamp the kangaroo from the Kangaroo and Company stamp set with Black Memento ink on the 4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock
• Stamp the sentiment with Black Memento ink on the 1″ x 1-3/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock.
• Stamp the butterfly and flowers on the 4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White with Black Memento ink.

Color

• Color the kangaroo with light and dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. Color his nose with the dark Black Stampin’ Blend.
• Use the light Balmy Blue, light Flirty Flamingo, light Daffodil Delight, and light Granny Smith Green Stampin’ Blends to color the Flowers.
• Color the butterfly with light Flirty Flamingo and Black Stampin’ Blends

Die Cut

• Use the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine to cut out the kangaroo, butterfly, and flowers.

Assemble

• Run some Stampin’ Seal on the back of the polka dot card stock and adhere it to the Balmy Blue card base.
• Glue the sentiment on the small piece of Balmy Blue with Stampin’ Seal.
• Place the flowers in the Kangaroo’s pouch and adhere with a glue dot.
• Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Kangaroo and sentiment to the card.
• Use Stampin’ Seal to glue the butterfly above the sentiment.

I think you will love the Kangaroo and Company stamp set as much as I do!
