It's a Kiddo Surprise!

 Stampendous is challenging its design teams and YOU to play along in May, but creating something gifty...a set of cards, or a gift card holder...you get the idea.

My version this week features one of the newest Kiddo images, "Cling Party Hat Kiddo", and boy, is she fun to color! You really have to check out the line of new Kiddo images from Stampendous.

I decided to create a slide out surprise gift card holder. The outside folder is covered in glitter paper, with a stamped border, ribbon from American Crafts, and flowers. The sentiment is one from the Perfectly Clear Birthday Assortment, and says it all...'cuz who doesn't want their birthday filled with "lots of friends, family, food, and fun"? In keeping with the "food" idea, I tucked in a gift card for the Cheesecake Factory (yummy!). I created a fold over flap pocket at the bottom of the slider to hold a gift card, but you could also leave off the pocket and attach a candy bar or lollipop.

The slider itself has the Copic colored Kiddo, dressed in her bright, happy party outfit, which includes pink UGGs, pompoms on her party hat, and a ruffled pink tutu under her cute skirt. (When you don't have girls in your family to dress up, you have fun with your girly stamp images instead!) Oh, and she has glitter...lots of glitter on her hat and outfit...and now I do, too.

We hope that you'll come play along with us this month. It gives us the opportunity to see your talents, plus provide you with a plethora of handy gift cards and holders for upcoming events...birthdays, graduations, weddings, or just because. Remember to link your creations on the Stampendous Impressions site, or to the link at the bottom of my post.

As an extra incentive for playing along, one lucky crafter* (drawn at random) will receive this fabulous new Cling Jumbo Tropical Garden stamp set:
