Hello baby

I seem to be making at least one baby card a week at the moment!  There's a lot of Spring babies this year!!     Here are three cards I have recently made.  I need to make a pile of these to have on hand for future requests!

Supplies used:

Stamps: Four Frames, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Fox and Friends (Retired)

Inks: Pretty in Pink, Baja Breeze

Card Stock: Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Daffodil Delight

Papers: Subtles Designer Paper Stack

Punches: Itty Bitty, Decorative Label, Circle, Scallop Circle

Equipment: Perfect Dots Embossing Folder

Embellishments: Taffeta Ribon, Bakers Twine, Itty Bitty Buttons, Pearls

Baptism card

Here's a quick post to show you a baptism card my friend asked me to make.  It was for her friends seven year old son, Elliot, and she wanted something bright and fun rather than something religious.

I used the Big Shot and letters dies to cut out the name and printed out the sentiment.  The papers are some retired ones (Play Date) and the leaves are punched out using the bird builder punch.  The owl stamp is from Fox and Friends!

Cheeky monkey

Yet another birthday card commission and this one was for a 2 year old boy.  I got out one of my favourite stamp sets - Fox and Friends and selected the very cute monkey stamp...

I was asked to personalise the card with the little boy's name so I used the Just Perfect Alphabet stamps using the Stamp-a-ma-jig to perfectly position the letters (kind of!!!).

Stamps: Fox and Friends, Just Perfect Alphabet

Card stock: Old Olive, Crumb Cake, So Saffron

Inks: Soft Suede

Equipment: Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Scallop Border Punch, Simple Numbers Dies

New baby card commission

I was asked by a friend to make her a card for a new baby girl.  She wanted something un-fussy, any colours except neutrals, and to include the baby's name. This is what I made for her (I hope it's not too 'fussy'!)

The cute little giraffe is from the Fox and Friends stamp set.  I used the Big Top Birthday papers for a colourful background and I printed out the baby's name, date and sentiment and punched these out with the jewellery tag and word window punches.

Congratulations to the new parents!!!

Big Top Birthday

I just love Stampin' Up!s  Big Top Birthday papers - so fun and vibrant and perfect for children's birthdays.  I wanted to make up some sample cards and party items to show how versatile the papers are, and perhaps give people some ideas of how they can create a DIY kids party!

I made a birthday card, invitation, wrapping paper & tag, bunting, rosette age badge, pin wheels, popcorn boxes and treat flags.  I combined the Big Top Birthday papers with matching card and ribbons, the Fox and Friends stamp set (another perfect one for kids) and the pennant parade stamps with the petite pennant builder punch .
