Happy Tuesday!! I am just popping in at the last minute to post some baby cards I created. I was inspired by this weeks badge from the Inspired By #166 challenge for the colors of my cards and the theme.
My first card is a top folding card. I used Lawn Fawn "Little Bundle" stamps and matching dies for the little baby clothes.
The Inspired By photo below is my inspiration:
I die cut my patchwork squares from paper scraps using the MFT Pierced Squares (retired). I knew I had to use the color scheme from the photo because it used ORANGE!!!
My die cut sentiment is from PTI-Wonderful Words Baby.
I am going to enter this into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Two or More Pattern Papers as well.
My second card is similar to my first. However, I loosely based it on the Inspired By Sketch.
Here is the Inspired By sketch:
As you can see, my patchwork is not laid out like the sketch and I did not use a circle under my sentiment. Instead I made an imaginary circle sentiment block by surrounding the die cut with the little baby items. Can you see it?
I have not made baby cards in AGES and these were SO FUN to create. It was a fabulous way to use up some of my paper scraps too!!!
In other news, I am STILL moving my craft room. I cannot tell you how much stuff I still have and how much I have gotten rid of!!! I do need to get my new room in order, though, which means cleaning off shelves from my old room to haul the furniture upstairs to put all the organized crap that I have in containers all over my floor!
Part of my cleaning this weekend was getting a huge amount of scrapbook pages in actual albums. It has made miss scrapbooking and I might have to take it up again.
Well, I want to get this posted. I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a GREAT night!
I like the sweet mix of patterns you've used to create your quilts! These are adorable, Nora. Thanks for joining us at IB!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I love both cards so much and clearly see your interpretation of the sketch too! Your patchwork is so fun and these are perfect paper hugs for a little one’s arrival! Thank you for inspiring us this week @IB!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet, elegantly pretty cards, Nora.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of scraps. They often get treated like the unwanted guests of the paper crafting world, but I think they're fantastic and reach for my scrap container often. Indeed, I'll frequently try to use up some of the pieces in there before cutting into pristine products.
