A Baptism

Hi everyone. Today I'd like to show you a card that I made for our little neighbour who will be baptised in a couple of weeks...

The colours I used were Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy, NIght of Navy, Real Red and Bashful Blue. The letters were cut with alphabet dies. The background was created with stamps from the Little additions stamp set, stamped in VersaMark ink. The onesie was stamped using the retired Baby Tees wheel. The sentiment is from the retired Vintage Labels stamp set. It was punched out using the Jewellery Tag punch. There stars were created with the Small Star punch.

Now to clean up my craft room, which looks like a bomb hit it. I guess that's the downfall of being so craftfully productive lately. :(

Catch you all soon.

Babies Everywhere!

Yes, there seem to be new babies everywhere at the moment, and there could be nothing nicer than that!

And so it is that I have another baby card to show you. It's much like the one in my previous post, except for the colour scheme...

This time I used Crumb Cake, Night of Navy, Cheery Cobbler and Whisper White. Not traditionally baby colours but I like to be different. :)

That's it. Nice and quick.

Catch you again soon. Good night.

It's a Baby Boy

I received a message from a friend yesterday asking if I wouldn't mind making a card for her new baby nephew, as she hadn't seen any that she liked at the shops. Are you kidding me? Would I mind? I'd love to! And not just one either. I just had to make two for her to choose from.

I dropped them off to her this morning, but of course I took some photos before letting them go.

First up I made this card using images from my new Bundle of Love stamp set, the "Congratulations" sentiment from my new Love & Laughter stamp set, the little sentiment from the Little Additions stamp set, and paper from my new Subtles paper pack. New, new, new! Gotta love new stuff!

If you look carefully you can see that I stamped the smaller images from the Bundle of Love in Bashful Blue ink onto the Bashful Blue paper. Cardstock colours are Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and Whisper White. The image was stamped on watercolour paper with black StazOn ink, was coloured with ink pads and an Aqua Painter, and was embellished with silver brads. The circles were punched with various circle punches.

The next card was inspired by this card that I found whilst surfing the net.

This card was completed using various punches: Star Punches, Owl Punch, Scallop Circle and Circle Punches, Large Oval Punch and Square Punch. The largest circle was embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.

Cardstock used was Chip, Bashful Blue and Whisper White. The sentiment if from the Little Additions stamp set.
