The Card Concept Challenge #13 and Simon Says Stamp "Work it Wednesday"

Happy Tuesday!!

It has been an exhausting last four days for me. My sister had a graduation party for my nephew. It is hard to believe he is eighteen!! We had lots of family in and one of my cousins stayed here for one night with her family. It was so much fun!! I don't see them that much as they live in Georgia but when we get together it is like we have never been apart. Char had a blast with the kids and was sorry to see them leave.

As usual, I created this card last week for the Card Concept Challenge #13 and never photographed it.
I seem to fall by the wayside with challenges by not photographing my creations immediately after I finish them. By the time I take the picture, the challenge is often over. I have to figure out a way to be more organized I guess.

This CC #13 challenge closes tomorrow so I wanted to make sure I actually uploaded the card on time. The challenge was to create a baby card in one of their styles. I am entering into the "Clean and Layered" category.

I started this card by knowing that I wanted to emboss a simple border on the pink panel in white. I used a Studio Calico stamp to do this technique. I then die cut a scrap of Doodlebug Design patterned paper and used foam adhesive to adhere it to the front of the card. Next I die cut and stamped the elephant using a PTI stamp. I layered this over the patterned paper, making sure I left room on the bottom for the sentiment.

I then stamped and embossed a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp onto a piece of die cut green apple card stock. I adhered this to the card using foam adhesive. The last steps were to adhere some enamel dots and a google eye.

Isn't it cute? I love the google eye and the fun sentiment.

I am also going to enter this into Simon Says Stamp "Work it Wednesday" challenge.

I thank you for stopping by and hope that you have a wonderful Wednesday!!

Sizzix-Doodlebug Framelits Baby Card

Hello Peeps!! I hope your day is going well. Just popping in to show you a baby card I created using Sizzix-Doodlebug Design Framelits Die Cutting Template and Clear Acrylic Stamps Baby Boy set. I think the images are adorable and can be used on a girl card as well as a boy. In fact, I chose to make a tag and card set for a baby girl.

I started by die cutting and stamping two giraffes. I then colored them in using the Copic markers below.

Next I printed out my sentiment on an 8 1/2" by 11" piece of white card stock. If I don't have the right sentiment stamp, I will often print one out on a piece of card stock. I used MS Word and estimated where I wanted the sentiment to go. I then cut out the card front and rounded the edges. My next step was to layer a piece of herringbone embossed paper, the doily, the scallop die cut and one giraffe onto the front. The last piece of the puzzle was to add the hearts. I then thought it needed a little something more so I used diamond Stickles to kick them up a notch.

Isn't it cute? My twelve year old daughter told me I should have only used one exclamation point on the sentiment. "It is not proper grammar Mom." Sigh. She is right but I think it looks adorable.

I then die cut a tag, 3 hearts and a banner out of white paper. I layered the banner over the tag, adhered the giraffe using foam tape over the banner and then adhered the three hearts. Like the card, I used diamond Stickles to add a little something more.

That is all for today. I hope this inspires you to create your own baby set. Have a great day!!

More Baby Cards!!

I don't know what it is about baby cards lately. I seem to be addicted to creating them!! I bought the adorable Sweet Baby stamp set from Paper Trey Ink and I just had to use it. 

The first two cards were inspired by a card from my favorite PTI designer, Dawn McVey. 

I used some old October Afternoon patterned paper I had, the Sweet Baby stamp set and dies by PTI, as well as PTI Half Note and Border dies.

For the second card I used the same basic design but changed up the yellow. Not sure which one I like better.

I used a TON of different patterned paper scraps for this card and chose to make it especially for a girl. Isn't that elephant cute?

The last card I created for a friend that I haven't seen for a while. All the stamps are from Paper Trey Ink and the lace paper I created using my Silhouette digital craft cutter.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today!!
