Cute and Cuddly Baby Card

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Do you like these un-traditional colors for a baby card?

I had a plethora of the striped paper left over from the ‘Autumn Traditions’ designer series paper and I am a sucker for stripes and baby cards!

I do love this bear and ‘I’m kind of a BIG DEAL’ stamp really does say it all when it’s your own brat, right?  The set is ‘Cute and Cuddly’ (#113682, 6 stamps for $26.95) and includes a ‘Baby Shower’ invitation stamp (which aren’t easy to find anymore).

The flourish stamp is from the awesome ‘Priceless’ set (#115052, 11 stamps for $28.95) which I hope NEVER retires as it has fabulous elements of design including two great flourish stamps.

Sets:
Cute & Cuddly, Priceless
Accessories:
5 ½ x 8 ½ Sahara Sand cardstock
5 ½ x 3 inch Artichoke cardstock
5 ½ x 2 Autumn Traditions DSP stripe

Teddy & Train Baby Card

Stampin' Up! Set 'Teddy & Train'This adorable new set ‘Teddy & Train” is gently watercolored with the Earth Elements watercolor crayons and layered with the ‘To the Nines Specialty” designer series paper (#114038, $11.95)

Stampin' Up! Set 'Teddy & Train' click for larger imageI brought out the Sage Shadow stripe in the designer series paper with a horizontal ‘laced’ edge as a border between the dots & stripes.  The edging was achieved with the Eyelet Border punch (#113692, $15.95)

TTeddy&TrainDetailhe bear is stamped on Whisper White cardstock and the bow is white taffeta (109070, $6.95 for 10 yards) held on with glue dots.

I like to color and it just took minutes to watercolor the bear and stamp the greeting.

Be sure when watercoloring to use Black StazOn (#101406, $7.95) so that the ink doesn’t run (READ: don’t try that with just any black ink pad).

Enjoy… now to find a baby that needs a card, LOL!

Nursery Necessities Baby Onesie Card

Friday, February 20th, 2009

How do you like my new “look”?! I’ve been working on it for over a month and decided to take the plunge.  My Gallery is still not completely with the program, but I decided the greater good was to keep it up and running until I move it into the blog format.

Baby Onsie CardBaby Onesie Card (Top View)

This adorable baby ‘onesie’ card has been shamelessly CASE’d from a swap I got from Kevin Theesen, SU’s first male demonstrator!

In searching  for a baby card idea, I found this adorable card in the shape of a baby ‘onesie’ and remade it in Amethyst and the new Designer Series Paper ‘Tea Party’.

CORNER CUTTING ALERT:  I make the card four inches wide (instead of the regular 4 1/4 inches) so that I could maximize the Designer Series paper.

I am bummed my scanner is broken or I would share the template, but it really isn’t a difficult card to re-make. (Everything electronic is working against me!)

The colors are Almost Amethyst & Barely Banana. The stamped image is from Nursery Necessities.

So, besides from that… how DO you like my new blog design?!
