Today's Featured Stamper is shirlb19. Congrats, Shirl! Of course, I thoroughly enjoyed browsing Shirl's gallery. I was looking for inspiration for a baby card and I went WAY back to this one. I love the idea that I could make a square card without wasting paper. I cut the 8.5 x 11 sheet in half and then just folded to make a 5.25 x 5.25 card. I went looking through my stamps for something good for a baby card and realized this sweet Paper Smooches stamp was also perfect for Tracy's DTGD challenge. I stamped the elephants and cut out a mask. I masked the outside of the elephants and sponged the inside. Then I stamped the image over the color--a little off for a highlight on the top. Inside the card, I repeat stamped an SU Baby Talk stamp and for the outside background, I sponged plaid and drew some black lines through it to complement the image. Thanks for the inspiration, Shirl!

Awesome CASE. I thought for sure those panels were both dp. Your plaid is fabulous -- it's those black lines that really made this look printed instead of stenciled. And great stenciling. Love that sweet image and it looks fabulous against your plaid and text bg. Adorably cute card for some new parents.

Love this square shaped card so much, Jen. So happy to have inspired this beautiful baby card. Wonderful hand made plaid and how fun to be able to combine with a DTGD challenge of Tracy's. I still want to do some too. That print stamp is really sweet. Thanks for honoring me with this. It means a lot!
