Welcome Little One

Today I made a baby boy card with the new baby2stamp set.

Here is the inside of my card.

These sentiments come with the baby2stamp set.

The paper, ribbon and epoxy heart are all available from The Stamps of life.

The oval dies and Stitched oval dies are from The stamps of life too!

That's it for today...just a quick card to share!

Another Banner

Did you see my "Love" banner that I shared yesterday?

Well today I flipped it over and decorated the back side.  I love creating dual purpose banners so that I can get more use out of all the paper that it takes to create a banner!

I created a baby banner on the backside using the same 3.5" Uppercase Alphabet dies.

For the end panels I used the Onsie4baby stamps and dies.

This banner die would make a great card too!

Hmmmm.....stay tuned :)

Welcome Little One

This little carriage is so cute and perfect for a boy or girl!

Here is the inside of my card.

Created with Rectangle dies and sentiment from the Baby2stamp set.

I hope you enjoy the inspiration!

Congratulations Baby

So...I made this sample months ago!

Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep a secret when I know a fantastic set like this is coming?

I knew that everyone would love it!

This is baby2stamp.

I stamped the inside with one of the sentiments in the set.

This is an adorable set that I know I will use again and again and I bet you will too!

For my Hero

Today I have a cute Father's Day Card that I made for my daughter to give to her husband.

He's in the Navy and is away while my daughter is visiting us for a month.

They have an adorable little 5 month old so this is perfect!

I used the Onsie4baby stamp set and matching die.

For the inside I used Momanddad2love.

I hope you are getting a little inspiration for your last minute Father;s Day Cards.

Season's Greetings

Happy Friday High Hopes Fans!

I colored the rest of her with my Prisma Colored Pencils.

(Peach, Crimson Red, Light Umber, Aquamarine, Spring Green, Silver)

The paper is Doodlebug Designs.

The trim is May Arts.

The sentiment is Seasons Greetings.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Baby Shower

My daughter finally got through the first trimester and made it Facebook  official so I am thrilled to share that my daughter is going to make me a grandma for the first time in January!

Things have changed since I had my kids...apparently they can tell the sex with a blood test waaaay earlier than when I had my kids!

So....we know it's a boy and since she lives in SC we are bringing her out for one last trip to CA before school starts (she's a teacher).  And that means we are throwing a early shower which means I got to make shower invites!

I made 24 of these!

Luckily this adorable Crawling Baby Boy is quick and easy to color!

I colored the image with Prisma color pencils. (peach & pink) and blended with gamsol and blending stumps. I used copic marker B000 to highlight the diaper.  I colored the sentiment with B41 copic marker.

I used classic rectangle and classic oval scallop and regular dies from Spellbinder.

The adorable bottle is Jolee's Boutique stickers.

If you have any mass production baby cards to make this stamp and the girl version are the perfect image because it's quick and easy to color!

I hope you enjoyed today's inspiration.

A Gift For Baby

Today I just have a quick gift bag to share with you!

I got the pink bag and matching ribbon from the local dollar store and made the tag using the new stamp set, Rubber Duckies, from Stampendous.

The image was colored with copic markers.

I fussy cut out the duckie and then popped her up with 3D foam dots.

Super quick and easy!

It's a girl....now!

I have another cute card to share using an image from the new High Hopes release.

So...there is an interesting store to this one...

This image is actually Swaddled Baby Boy.

I had stamped a bunch of images and was coloring them while watching TV one night and I colored the blanket pink before I realized it was a boy image.

Well...I wasn't going to throw it away so I made it into a girl!

I stamped the bow from the Swaddled Baby Girl image onto patterned paper and cut it out.

Once added to my image, it looked like it was always supposed to be a baby girl!

The paper is Debbie Mumm.

I colored the image with colored pencil and paper pierced the baby's shirt.

I used the It's a Girl sentiment and offray ribbon and Prima Mktg flower.
