Something For Baby and Blog Hop Reminder

I was inspired by a card that Karen Gilbert made and posted in Splitcoast Gallery. Her card was larger than mine, had more elements on it and was actually a Thank You card. I wanted a card for a baby shower gift. This card matches a rag quilt I made for the new baby boy.

I hope you enjoyed looking! Please leave a comment for me to read. Any time you need Stampin' Up! supplies, just use my Online Store.

Card Details:

Colors: Tip Top Taupe, So Saffron, Mint Macaron, Whisper White

Stamps: Made With Love (Sentiment), Something for Baby

Framelits: Love Notes (envelope and card in envelope), Baby's First Framelits (toy, duck, onesie and diaper pins)

Don't forget to visit my blog tomorrow, when I will be participating in the Pals Blog Hop!

June Blog Hop!

We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month we are featuring projects that are based on “B“ themes such as Birthday, Bride or Baby. We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.
 
I have three friends who are having girls this next few months! I decided that instead of creating ONE "B" for baby card, I would get all three done at once. 

Three Onesies for 3 new baby girls!

I wasn't very excited about the new In Color, Sweet Sugarplum, but when I paired it with Smoky Slate, I liked it a lot better.

Card #1 has the Sweet Sugarplum banner embossed with the Elegant Polka Dots on a plain Smoky Slate background.

Card #2 has the Softly Falling background and a banner with home made DSP, thanks to the teeny flower in the Made With Love stamp set.

Card #3 has a Smoky Slate (Neutrals DSP Stack) background with a Large Polka Dot Embossed Banner. Teeny flowers adorn those large dots.

Which card do you like best? 1, 2 or 3? I'd love it if you voted in the comments below!

Baby Girl Congrats!

Hello everyone! So sorry that I haven't posted much lately. A  long vacation and just some busy weeks have kept me out of my studio and away from my blog. I hope you won't give up on me!

One of my customers had a baby recently, so I made this card to send her for congratulations!

I promise I'm trying to get some time in my studio. Please come back soon. In the mean time, won't you leave a comment or greeting? They make my day!

Baby Congrats for PPA255

I wanted to use the new Made With Love stamp set and these colors provided by Pals Paper Arts Design Team were perfect for this baby boy card. I wanted to stay simple, so I stamped those teeny "cartoon" stars in Sahara Sand all around like a border on my Sahara Sand card base. Inside the border I placed a Banner Framelit in Marina Mist that I stamped with tiny "cartoon" hearts in Marina Mist ink.

On top of the first banner I placed another banner made of a 1-1/2" rectangle of Whisper White that was cut using the Banner Triple Punch. I used the sentiment "congratulations" and stamped it in Early Espresso ink. My Marina Mist birdie has Early Espresso feathers and tail, which I colored using my Blender Pen and an ink pool on the top of the ink pad. 

The baby onesie is stamped in Marina Mist ink onto Sahara Sand card stock and cut out using the Baby's First Framelits. I colored those stripes using the ink pool technique described above. Very masculine looking stripes, I think! The onesie is popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Hello Baby!

Hello Baby! I love celebrating babies! Here is a card for a baby boy which will be accompanied by a rag quilt that I'm making. The stamp set Something For Baby and it's accompanying Baby's First Framelits make it a snap to put together a cute outfit on the front of a card! I didn't even use all of the many elements included in the framelits set.

The paper I used is from the upcoming Annual Catalog (debuts June 2nd!) and is called Cherry On Top Designer Series Stack. This is stack of 6" x 6" paper, so large enough to use in scrapbooking, card making or envelope liners and gift wrap. I'm so glad that the stacks are coming in this size!

Inspired by Jeni Kunselman, I created this Baby Boy card. I used her layout, but different colors and designer series paper. She also die cut a bib, but I used the necktie instead. I love the combination of Smoky Slate, Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight, so here is my card!

Hangar, onesie and tie are cut using the Baby's First Framelits and my Big Shot. The Ovals were cut from the Ovals Collection Framelits. The banners were cut using the Bitty Banners Framelits. What would I do without my Big Shot and framelits?? I put texture on the onesie with the Lucky Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The Whisper White Oval is textured using the Decorative Dots TIEF. I used prints from the Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper. The knotted string is the blue color from Painted Blooms Cotton Twine.

Hello Baby is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I used VersaMark and White Embossing Powder to make it pop off of the Smoky Slate card stock.

I hope you enjoyed looking! Please leave your comments below. I love reading them all.

Fab Friday 49 Something For Baby

I was lookin' for a challenge and I found on Fab Friday. Okay, it isn't Friday, but there's still time to play!

Hint: To color my ducks, I inked the stamp from Something For Baby in Daffodil Delight. I used the brush end of my Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Marker to swish over the bill. The Daffodil Delight disappeared while the Pumpkin Pie took over.

I love how these ducks are cut out so easily using the Baby's First Framelits set. How cute are they all "squared" up to greet a new little one?

Thanks for looking today! I hope you will take a moment to leave a comment for me. I love to read each and every one.

July Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the July Pals Blog Hop. This month we are featuring a New Hues Revue. Let the new Stampin' Up! In Colors for 2014-2016 inspire you - Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey and Tangelo Twist. We hope you find great inspiration from our creations.

You may be just starting the blog hop or you may have come from #17 Beth Beard's My Little Craft Blog. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

I chose to showcase the Hello Honey In Color. I like them all, though! My card base is Hello Honey, the new Satin Ribbon is Hello Honey and the "S" for a new baby, Samuel,  and is also Hello Honey. I used Lullaby Designer Series Paper and cut two vertical chevron lines from one of the prints and then added them to another of the prints. The baby onesie is stamped from the Something for Baby stamp set. I stamped it in Pistachio Pudding, which is one of the many colors in Lullaby Designer Series Paper. I cut it out perfectly and easily by using the Baby's First Framelits.  I cut out the "S" using Little Letters Thinlits. "hello baby" from Teeny Tiny wishes is stamped in Hello Honey ink.

The next stop on the Pals Blog Hop is #19, Dawn Tidd at Tiddbits from Dawn.  Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you next month! Please leave your comments below.

It's a Boy!

A friend of my daughter's just had a baby boy. I always make flannel blankets for babies and here is a card to go with the blanket. It's my first attempt using the Something For Baby stamp set, the Baby's First Framelits and the Little Letters Thinlits. I was going to place the letters over the ribbon across the bottom, but then I thought the negative punch out looked better with the stripes peeking through!

Please let me know what you think--I love your comments! Don't forget to post on THIS blog post to be eligible to win my Blog Candy! Only a couple of hours left to make the deadline!!
