Party Pandas for Baby

There’s hardly anything more adorable than the trio of party-going pandas in Party Pandas, one of Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Sale-a-Bration incentive items. This stamp set of pandas can be earned with a $50 order – and you can earn plenty of other items with every $50 you spend. To learn more about Sale-a-Bration, please click here. For today’s project, I made a super-sweet, super-simple baby card. What a great way to welcome a new little one. Here’s my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Party Pandas. I’m in love with these guys – and I’ve been “working” several of my customers and team members to convince them that these black-and-white herbivores need to be in their craft rooms. It’s been a fun challenge! 🙂 Here’s a look at this fun Party Pandas stamp set:
  

  Party Pandas, Stampin’ Up!

  I love the simplicity of the stamped images – they are crisp and clean with beautiful, solid lines. I love that I don’t really have to color the images in – maybe add a little color to the balloon or hat or envelope, but there’s no need to add color to the animals. That makes it so easy to add to a clean-and-simple project.

• A Little Panel for Panda. I often set my uninked stamps in the corner of my grid paper to determine what size of panel I need to showcase an image. I only needed a 3-1/2″ x 2″ panel for my adorable panda. He fit perfectly in the panel (I stamped him there with my Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement). Because that left a large white space in the top, right corner of the panel, I added two sweet banners to the lower, right side of the panel. This helped me to balance the panel a bit by adding a little more weight to the bottom of the panel and by pulling your eye away from the large white space a bit. See! I tricked you – you didn’t even see the white space. I’m good! Here’s a closer look at this sweet guy:
• Sweet Colors. The Sweet Soirée Specialty Designer Series Paper has me reaching for Marina Mist a lot lately. I’ve always reached for Pool Party and Soft Sky for my “soft blues,” but I’m getting a soft space in my stamping heart for Marina Mist as of late. Here’s a look at the patterns and colors in the Sweet Soirée Specialty Designer Series Paper: I pulled three colors from this speckled page to build this sweet card – Marina Mist, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight. If you like these colors as much as I do, please save this:

In April, Stampin’ Up! is hosting OnStage Local events for demonstrators all over the world. One of the local events will be local to me – here in Atlanta, Georgia! I’m hosting a Spring stamping event the day before OnStage – and I’m calling it Brian’s Spring Stamp-Along. This event will be Friday, April 6 at Cobb Galleria Centre. I’d love for you to join us!

Registration for the Spring Event will open today to a limited number of demonstrators – and the day will be FILLED with fun.
