Stitched Stocking baby boy booties

Only a few days left before the Summer mini retires & with it goes the Stocking punch & stamp set. Remember this baby card here. This Baby Boy card is the same except obviously Blue (Bashful) & I've used the Doily Triple Layer Punch to frame the Largest Oval die cut from Ovals Original Die instead of the non SU! scallop frame, now making this card all SU! I punched out 4 Doily's cut them in half & adhered with tombo to the back of the Oval. We will be making this card in tomorrows class.

Up in the Air

 "Up in the Air" hostess set was another stamp set that was waiting to be inked up in my cupboard over the festive season. I wanted to use more of the Everyday Enchantment DSP & just used co-ordinating markers to colour in the stamped images, I think the images are perfect once again for 3'x3" cards. The pretty Organdy Ribbon has a shimmer in it which dosn't show up in my pics but IRL adds a little dazzle. I'm yet to use the brads that also co-ordinate with the Sale-a-bration DSP & Ribbons, -it's wonderful to have more options this SAB which begins on the 24th Jan.

Baby Shower invites

I did 2 samples for baby Boy shower invites & this was the one chosen, took 2 hours to make 45. Colours are the same as this one here which would have been a little more work & simple was the request.

Nursery Necessities baby shower invite

No pastels & not to cute was the request, I hope I have created the perfect invite?
Love these colours together; Kraft, Night of Navy & Riding Hood Red. It didn't take long to put this together & my desk is not it's usually mess when creating & not to many left over bits either, lets just hope it's liked.

Nursery Necessities baby cards

I just found a little box! & inside were some of these cute "Nursery Necessities" cards I made for CCM mid last year, I realised I had forgotton to show them here on my blog, so thought it a good time since this set will be retiring, so farewell to this fabulous versatlie baby set but I might have to have one more play with it as I've been asked to do 50 baby boy shower invites.

Rock-a-Bye baby boat card

"Nursery Necessities" is definately a necessity for me when it comes to baby cards, I just can't seem to go past it! For the waves I used the wave stamp from "Just Surfing" & stamped it 3 times along side eachother & cut it out freehand, DS papers are Good Morning Sunshine - I stamped the boat image on the reverse of the paper to make cutting out easy & used a white gel pen to highlight the boat hull, colours are Pacific Point, Bashful Blue the sail is Kiwi Kiss on a Whisper White card.

Baby's 1st Birthday card

I was really excited with how the puff paint heated up! I bought some from Spotlight ages ago especially for this cupcake from "Big Bold Birthday" stamp set & finally got around to using it.
the card measures 4x4"'s & colours used are Pirouette Pink, Riding Hood Red on Whisper White, I used a little Bella Rose DS Paper as well & some Pink Pirouette Striped Ribbon & White Brads. If you haven't got any White Brads you can heat up a silver/Gold brad with your heat tool & dip it into White embossing powder & heat it again to set the powder , do this a couple of times & use tweezers to hold the brad.

1st Birthday cards

I purchased some more embossing folders for my Cuttlebug (can't wait for Bigshot to get here!) & this Paisley one was perfect for this Simple chipboard 1st Birthday card, Colours are Piroutte Pink & Riding Hood Red on Whisper White. I inked up the chipboard with white craft ink first & heat set to dry, I then inked it in a lttle Riding Hood Red purposely leaving some White so that when I dazzled it with Heat & Stick powder & Diamonds it wasn't to deep in colour. The scalloping I did with the scallop edge Punch & the card is finished off with Riding Hood Red Striped Ribbon & retired Hodgepodge Buckle.

The original #1 chipboard I dazzled was on raw chipboard which wasn't girly enough & even though I have no 1st Birthday boys to give it to but I wanted to use it & the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I cased this layout & loved it so much that I made 4 other cards (I already posted 2) -it's a great inspiration to start with a layout!













Tea Party DS papers for the monogram cards below were also perfect for the Christening & Teya's Reconciliation card. The T & S are embossed in silver & Dazzled with Diamonds with 2 way glue pen. Tea Party DS papers has Basic Grey in it so I mounted the letters on the Grey then onto the Scalloped Pretty in Pink & added Silver Brads to tie it all together.
Thanks Andrea for making it easy for me to make these beautiful cards!

Heart to Heart nursery card

I really love the way this cute little card turned out & it was super easy too! Colours are Kraft, Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, So Saffron, Baja Breeze & DS papers. The Elephant is cut out after stamping on scrap piece of Whisper White inked in Riding Hood Red & just snailed on, the hearts are punched using the Heart to Heart Punch & adhered with Dimensionals (the red one is just snailed) & I just drew the strings with my White Gel Pen.

All in the Family baby

Welcome to the world little one!
I had to get my "All in the Family" set out for this one now that we have the scallop punch, the little baby image mounted on it looks great & it would be a perfect size for the Love Notes, anyway this one needed another layer so I got out my cuttlebug & nestabilities -yes I do have other tools & supplies apart from SU but I don't use them nearly as much, SU has more than enough products to create the best cards! & more so now with scrapbooking as well. I used some DS paper -Spring Flowers, some Pink Taffeta ribbon which is just beautiful -you can kind of shape the bow & tails to sit how you want. I stamped the "Polka Dot" Background stamp on Pretty in Pink CS in versa mark & a teany bit of watercolouring with crayons finishes the card off nicely I think.
