Thank Heaven for little girls

Thank Heaven for little...

... girls.

This Papertrey Ink stamps set is just adorable. I just had to use the sentiment... for little girls today, next time will be for little boys.

Below are two versions of the same card.

The baby footprints stamps is a Recollections one carried by Michael's.

The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and the heart embossed background is achieved through a Cuttlebug embossing folder,

The frames are made with Nestability.

Until next time...

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...

Baby Footprints

 BABY...

... footprints.

How much more beautiful does it get? It doesn't need much more to make a simple little card. A ribbon, a bow....

There is not much to it, really... may be trying to decide what ribbon would go?

Barely a heartache...

I used a Recollections baby footprints stamp and went through my stack of ribbon and found a few that would do the trick.

The sentiment was printed beforehand.

Until next time....
