3 Christmases and 2 Babies

 The first three cards are Christmas cards. I was just playing in my crafty room. Love them all!!!

Below is the inside of the card.

This card is for a pair of the cutest twins ever to come into this world. Doesn't hurt that they are my oldest and dearest friend's great nieces either. Congratulations again Tai & JR.

The giraffe stamp is from Whimsy Stamps and the DSP is from Close to my Heart.

New Baby

This is a card I made for my niece and nephew on the birth of my new great niece, Aubree Angelina Rivera. The face of the card is my own design. If I can ever figure out how I did it, I will try my hand at a tutorial. All I can tell you right now is I started with a Daffodil Delight 12 x 12 sheet of cs. I cut it down to 5 1/2" x 12". Then from the short end (5 1/2") I measured 2 1/2" from the edges and cut at a diagonal towards the other end of the 12" side. Then I accordian folded the yellow piece and adhered it to a 4.125" x 5.5" card blank of Pumpkin Pie. All the dsp is Stampin' Up! Twitterpated and the images are from MO's Digital Pencil. I colored with Copics. I know Aubree is a sweet little girl baby but sometimes PINK just doesn't work for me. I love green so I decided to stick to the color I know. Hope you enjoyed looking. Sentiments are from Verve.

JFF - small Wonder baby Jackson

 I downloaded the PDF file from The Cat's Pajamas to make this little gift card. I followed most of the directions until it got to the decorating of the card. I used the Ice Cream Parlor kit from Stampin' Up! It's just too cute not to use for a baby or child's card. My card will hold a gift card for a baby shower gift. The baby's name will be Jackson when he is born. I hand cut the pennant pieces. Sheesh what a pain! The buttons are also from the Ice Cream Parlor kit. The sentiment comes from the Whimsical Words set.
Below is a view looking down on the card.

Happy New Baby - C4C68

Happy New Baby - Crazy 4 Challenges #68 - Celebrate Something! = My niece is expecting her first child in April, a boy, Jackson Walter. I made this card. I had to use my Stamp-a-ma-jig to put the birdie in the stroller as they are two separate stamps from the same Stampin' Up! set # 113500 Fun & Fast Notes. I stamped behind the image and sentiment with SU set #111634 Fresh Cuts using Pear Pizzazz. I colored the image using Old Olive, Early Espresso and Real Red, then I added some silver glitter gel pen to the wheels and the legs of the stroller. I matted with some Early Espresso cs. Added 2 buttons tied together with twine. DONE!!!

Hi Baby - MOJO151 & PPC-CC25

Hi Baby - Mojo Monday #151  & Picture Perfect Creations Crafty Challenge#25 - so saffron, pink pirouette, and perfect plum. The image is a digi from Baby Bud Designs. It's colored with Copics. I added the little buttons to the wheels on the carriage. I just had to add a little green as there is a vine with flower in the image. Otherwise I think I stayed pretty true to the color combo. I stuck as close to the MOJO sketch as possible. The only thing that is off is my sentiment but I didn't want to put anything really big on the card as it is a welcome baby type card.

I used the D'Vine Swirls embossing folder and then I swiped the Regal Rose ink pad from Encore! Metallics over for some dimension on the swirls.

SoftPencil Designs Sentiments - Happy Birthday

Today is again wonderful Softpencil Thursday. This week we are creating with Elizabeth's new digi-sentiments collection for brithdays! For my welcome baby card I used Feliz Cumpleanos (Happy Birthday in Spanish). These sentiments work so well with any images. I recycled a simple, one dimensional shower invite into a full on greeting card with a front, inside and back. I used the polka dotted border from the original and cut it down to fit a 4.25 x 5.5 inch piece of kraft cardstock. Then I stamped my image and colored it with ink and my aqua painter. I added the little buttons with the silver fiber for accent and for the wheels on the carriage. I used the word Baby cut from the original and added the SoftPencil sentiment and called it done!
For my cupcake card I used Fijne Verjaardag ( Happy Birthday in Dutch). I colored the image with American Crafts stamp markers and the sentiment with Spicas. I doodled on the flower shaped card base with my Spicas. Added the sentiment, a ribbon and a heart brad. Then it was complete. This card is entered in the challenge at Fab 'n' Funky Challenges #30 get in shape, which SoftPencil is sponsoring.
Thanks to Elizabeth for the fun sentiments. Note*** the birthday sentiments are available in several different languages.

Special Delivery - SNBSC1

Special Delivery - Stretch N' Bubbles Sketch Challenge #1. For this challenge I decided to go for a baby card. My hub's 2nd cousin is expecting her first baby, a boy, Jaxon. So I made Ashley this sweet card. I made a special request of Alison; could she please draw me a bird with a baby. Well, I was so happy when I received an e-mail from Alison with a selection of 4 images to choose from. I immediately fell in love with "Baby On Board". I used my PaintShopPro program and colored her in, then resized her to fit on the postage stamp die from ProvoCraft. You can see from my photo that I used all of the embossing folders in the set in duplicates to make my card. I added the buttons to the first carriage so that it would make it a little more obvious this is a welcome baby card. I also wanted to keep this card CAS so I used barely banana and whisper white cardstock on the front. Inside I added some light turquoise to matte my sentiment. To finish off my card I added some ribbons and a little silver rattle charm (inside).

My internal sentiment says :

Babies are cuddles and memories to keep, (three a.m. feedings and too little sleep).

Babies are laughter and smiles to share, (and bottles, and booties, and bibs everywhere)!
Babies are sweet, and though they are small,

Babies fill up your heart - and your house - wall to wall.

Every time a baby is born, God smiles,

the angels dance, and a new star of hope lights up the skies.

Jaxon is here, and heaven is cradled in your arms.

Enjoy each and every once-in-a-lifetime moment!

Congratulations,

Ashley & Jeremy on your new baby!

Little Mother - sk021310

PCP Sketch Challenge 021310 - Little Mother. Meet Lucy, she's another digi from InStyle Stamps - Retro Collection. I swear these are some really juicy cute images!!! Pattern paper was a RAK as were the little baby carriage brads. Heart border punch is Stampin' Up! Zig Zag border is from Martha Stewart. Cabuchons are by Mark Richards, hubs found them at Hobby Lobby. Cardstock is Stampin' Up! and Bazzill. The sentiment is in my own handwriting, which I don't usually like, but I think it looks okay here.
