Baby Card with Bears

From time to time, I feel like making newborn cards.

This Martha Stewart bear punch embosses at the same time.

I glued my line of bears between two embossed lines made using the Sizzix embossing folder in my cuttlebug.

I added a mini bow made using a fork; this way it always comes out very regular.

Rounding the corners of the card softened the look of it.

Until next time!

It's a Boy!

It's a Boy.

One more! It doesn't get any simpler than that!

A little blue onesie on a hanger, a very light blue ribbon to underline the printed sentiment...

I rounded the bottom corners.

There you have it!

Now... How cute and versatile is that quote? 

It is perfect for so many occasions: you could make it a wedding card, a new baby card, a graduation card, etc,  etc...

Below are two of my takes, a wedding card and a new baby card. I am sure I will use this again in a near future.

Just in case you want to do the same, I added the image below.

Let me know if it is easy to download and use.

For my first card, I had a craving for flowers and dragonflies. This is what came out!

Here is a close up of the printed sentiment...

 I love the flying  birds in an infinite sign pattern.

The dragonflies are printed in white on silver card stock and I added some dimensional glittery paint on top of the body.

The flowers are punched paper and the centers are made with a Paper-Pen from Viva, in 3D paint Sunny yellow. Any dimensional paint would work there.

I used a Martha Stewart stamp for the flowers stems, and a Martha Stewart edger punch for the bottom of the silver panel.

The finish touch was a simple bow in clear ribbon.

And now, for a totally different use of this sentiment, a new baby card.

I just can't get enough of this little Recollections baby footprints stamp. I used Nestability to cut a simple circle and a scalloped one to frame the printed image.

 It is then propped up with some foam stickies.

Et voila!!!!

Until next time...

It's a Boy/ It's a Girl

IT'S A BOY...
... or it's a girl.

I had those two sentiments in mind when I designed the next four cards.

A couple of days ago, I played with my new stamp/die cut set from Papertrey Ink and made a few pieces of baby clothing but I had no definite idea of a card. 

Yesterday it hit me...

Below is the result of that "bon sang mais c'est bien sur".

Two sets of cards, with the "boy" and "girl" version for each...

The stamps and die cuts are from Papertrey Ink.

The two different fonts I chose are Kozuka Gothis Pro and England Hand DB.

I just love to mix fonts...

Until next time...

10 Little Fingers, 10 Little Toes

BABY CARDS...

... they are like babies and puppies... cute as a button.

This is the one kind of card I cannot run out of ideas for.

Just thinking of a new one put a smile on my face.

My biggest challenge is to slow down the avalanche of ideas that come to me when I think Baby card.

I started with a window card from A Cut Above.

I used the Stubbies stamps from Stamps by Judith, and colored them with Copic markers.

The "10 little fingers.." stamp is from Sparkle and Sprinkle.

I also used some 3D paint for the pearls in the corner of the top stamped image.

Part of the top flap has been embossed with my cuttlebug folder.

Until next time...
