Oh, Baby

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

I've loved sharing the cute new baby cards with you this week and now they've received the card that I shared on Monday, I can tell you that the birth of a friend's granddaughter, Elowen Freya, was the inspiration for all the cards this week. That and wishing that the season of new arrivals, spring, would finally appear, but so far no luck on THAT one, here at least!

To close out "baby week", today's card is another for a baby boy, created with another of the sentiments from the adorable Baby We've Grown stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Card: Whisper White
Ink: Pool Party and Tempting Turquoise
Stamp set: Baby We've Grown
Tools and embellishments: Labels Collection Framelits, Dazzling Details, Stamping Sponges and Stampin' Dimensionals

Stamp the bunny image from the Baby We've Grown stamp set randomly in Pool Party ink over a panel of Whisper White card cut slightly smaller than the base (I cut mine ¼" smaller). Sponge the same ink onto the edges and attach to base card.
Stamp the Oh Baby sentiment from the set in the same ink onto a snippet of Whisper White. Cut using the second smallest Labels Collection Die. Sponge Tempting Turquoise ink onto the edges and pop up onto the base with Stampin' Dimensionals
To add a bit of sparkle, add Dazzling Details onto the bunnies bow ties and the binky.

Now it's that time of the week when I ask if you have a favorite from the week's creations. Click on the images to be taken to the post in another tab...

Once again, I'm not sure if I can choose a favorite. Can you?

Celebrate Your Big Day

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

I created the card I'm sharing with you today using one of the FREE stamp sets, Big Day, that you can get during Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Bration event. If you missed yesterday's SAB and Occasions catalog launch post, you can see it here).

It's the first time I've used the set and I love it! There are five stamps in the set and I've used them all to create the card; the 3 I've used for the sentiment panel, the tiny candle and the fifth, a delicious birthday cake which is hiding inside for the recipient to find...

I've stamped everything in what else but Crumb Cake ink, then colored the lettering and banner with my Crisp Cantaloupe Stampin' Write marker from the 2013 - 2015 In Color set, and I then layered the Whisper White stamped layer onto a Crisp Cantaloupe panel. To add a finishing touch of glitter I've used Dazzling Details on the candle flames, although the photo doesn't shown this well, I assure you it's there!
