Adorable Baby

Good morning!

I love Saturdays, don't you? Especially as I have the day off and I'm re-organising my craft room, with Jen's help! We went to Ikea last night to get my new furniture. It should have been uneventful, but it wasn't! We got stuck in the lift! It is my first time and I can tell you, it will be my last because I do not plan to go in a lift again!! (or at least for a very long while!)

Another good thing about Saturdays is the new challenge at Less Is More, and this week it's 

NEW BABY

Now, as it happens, I made a new baby card for my DT card for our new sketch at Sketch Saturday this week, so I am entering it into this challenge.

I have used a stamp from a Stampin' Up! set called Sweetest Gift. It's stamped in Wisteria Wonder and I paper pierced the edge for interest.

I embossed the bottom half of the card blank with the Perfect Polka Dots EF and the banners are created using two of the FREE Sale-a-Bration products...Banner Blast stamps and Banner Punch. 

For more information about Sale-a-Bration, or joining my Stampers Six club, please contact me and I'd be very happy to help!

I love our sketch this week and I hope you do too!

Baby, baby!

Hiya!

I have not one, but two cards for you today! Although, they are the same, just 2 colourways.

I have used a really cute stamp and sentiment from the Sweetest Gift set and simply stamped one in Pink Pirouette and the other in Soft Sky, with Basic Gray outlines.

I stitched the edges and mounted them on matching card blanks. I used the layout at CAS(E) This Sketch as inspiration for my card.

Have a great day!

Sweetest Gift

Good morning!

Are you all ready for the big day? I am just about! I have the food to get today and then apart from housework, I think I'm all done...yay!

So I have time now to show you a something...

This is the baby card I made for my friend who had a baby in November, but hadn't got round to blogging!

I made it using the new Circle Card Thinlits and a stamp from Sweetest Gift set. The Thinlits are brilliant! Such a quick easy way to make a spinner card! The papers are printed from MDS and the sentiment on the reverse was created on MDS too.

I hope you aren't too stressed with Christmas by now and hopefully I will be back tomorrow! Have a lovely day!

Babies Fill Your Heart With Happy!

Hello all!

It's time for a new challenge at CAS - Colours and Sketches, and this week it is a sketch. 

This a one of my 'go to' sketches when I am struggling to create a card...it's quite adaptable I think.

So here is my card...

I am desperately short of new baby cards for my stall so I may be making a few over the next few weeks. For this one I have cut my aperture out of Whisper White card with one of the hearts framelits, then embossed either side using Adorning Accents EF.

Then, using my Stamp-a-Majig for perfect placement, I stamped the sentiment from Cuddles and Kisses into the aperture, directly onto my Strawberry Slush card blank. I finished with some of the lush Ruffle Stretch Trim before popping the panel up on Dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by and I really look forward to seeing how you use my sketch! :)

A new baby Down Under!

Hiya peeps!

How is your week going? I'm having a busy one, but then I always seem to be busy lately! It's a good thing, honest!

I had a request for a new baby card the other day, with a rather unusual name request...

The card is to be sent to a Great Auntie and Great Uncle in Australia, who sadly will never be grandparents, so they are being Grauntie and Gruntle!

I have used the sadly retired Bundle of Love stamp and stamped it on Very Vanilla, Wisteria Wonder and Pink Pirouette card stock, then paper pieced parts of the pram. I added a little dimension with stitching, liquid pearls and a Basic Gray Candy Dot, and finished with a computer printed sentiment cut out with one of the framelits from the Chalk Talk set. The Basic Gray card was punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch.

The background papers are available for My Digital Studio, which I am loving! I haven't created a card with it yet, but I am loving the printable elements! It is available with a FREE trial so why not give it a go? It comes with several elements included to get you started, including stamps, sentiments, papers and embellishments.

If you would like to purchase any of the products I have used here, please do visit my online store where you can also be entered into this month's Mystery Hostess club for your chance to win this month's hostess freebies!

Alternatively, please feel free to contact me with your order, or any queries you may have.

Good evening!

I am going to quickly post this and come back and finish writing it up after I link it to the challenge at Dynamic Duos, as I only have 6 minutes!

Ok, done it! Phew...thought I was going to miss it!

Right, about the card...

I have used the lovely free Hostess Stacks of Wishes set again this evening. I stamped it in Basic Black with a cute little Tempting Turquoise duckling.

I then doodled a border using the same colours and finished with 3 of the Itty Bitty Buttons, one of which is tied with Whisper White Baker's Twine. I then matted the panel onto Tempting Turquoise and added it to a 6x6in card blank.

Supplies

Cardstock - Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise

Ink - Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise

Stamp - Stacks of Wishes (Hostess)

Other - Baker's Twine, Itty Bitty Buttons

I love my Stampin' Up products, almost more than anything else in my craft stash and I started out with Stampin' Up as a customer. I was part of a Stampers 6 group and spent just £25 a month for 6 months at first. I loved the products so much that I eventually decided to just go for it and become a Demonstrator, and I wouldn't look back now! I have fun showcasing the products, experimenting with them, and showing people how to use them! And into the bargain, I earn my own free stuff and get commission on sales too! All in my own time, as and when it suits me!

If you would like to enjoy these benefits too, why not join up now? There is an even better incentive too...if you join up before 22nd March you'll also get an extra 25% in your starter kit! So that's £165 worth of wonderful goodies for the unbelievable price of £99 including postage!! I can tell you, if I could join again, I so definitely would!
