Wild About You gift set

I created a baby gift set a few months ago before the “Wild About You” stamp set retired. I was sad it retired because it’s an excellent baby and children’s stamp set. As you will see below, the stamps can even be used on fabric.


T-shirt card, mini mailbox, onesie

Stamp set: Wild About You
Paper: Green Galore, Yoyo Yellow, Real Red, Ballet Blue, Bashful Blue, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Real Red Classic ink
Accessories: Punches: 1 3/8” circle, 1 ¼” circle,1/16” circle, scallop circle; Circle Scissor Plus, glue dots, 2-way glue pen, SNAIL adhesive, dimensionals, paper cutter

I created my own template for this card, though you could probably find a similar template online.

Stamp set: Wild About You
Paper: Green Galore, Brilliant Blue, Yoyo Yellow, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Green Galore, Brilliant Blue, Real Red, Only Orange, Yoyo Yellow Classic ink
Accessories: Mini mailbox, SU! wrapping paper (retired), Whisper White grosgrain ribbon, Black gingham ribbon, scissors, punches: 1 3/8” circle, 1 ¼” circle, 1/2” circle, scallop circle; sticky strip, SNAIL adhesive, dimensionals, paper cutter

I used Stampin’ Up!’s retired wrapping paper to stamp on and wrap around the mailbox. It’s thinner and more pliable than our Whisper White card stock.

Stamp set: Wild About You
Ink: Real Red, Green Galore, Ballet Blue Craft ink
Accessories: Baby onsie, cardboard, scrap paper

I stamped the elephant on this onesie about three times to get the image as bold as I wanted. I think my craft ink was drying out. Let that be a lesson to you, always keep ink refills on hand! :)

I used the masking technique to stamp my flower so it looks like the elephant is holding the flower in his trunk.

Each of these projects was easy to make, and the results are a cute and fun baby gift set.

Edited:

Some of you had questions about these projects, so I thought I would include the questions and answers in this post.

Q: Love the mini mailbox, are there instructions on how to cover one? Or did you make your own template?

A: For instructions on how to alter a mini mailbox, check out my tutorial.

Q: really cute. tell me, does the colour run when you wash the onsie?

A: After you stamp on the fabric, you heat set it. You can put it in the dryer for several minutes, or lay a cloth over the clothing and iron it to heat set it (no water needed in the iron). Do not use bleach when you wash the clothing.

I hope these answers help. If anyone has questions, please ask me.

Have fun stampin’ and creatin’!
