Baby Boom -Part 2

Here's another baby card that, when I saw it, I had to make .

I have used Baja Breeze cardstock and Designer Series Paper along with Apricot Appeal cardstock and ribbon. The baby's face is just a circle that I drew a face on and his/her hair is a piece of frayed Chocolate Chip ribbon. The blanket is made with a scallop that I cut using a Nestabilities die in my cuttlebug. This one took no time at all and looks great I think.

Thanks for visiting. More soon.

Baby Boom

My niece is having a baby shower on Saturday and I needed a card. I don't have many baby stamps in my collection (something I need to fix I think ) so I went trawling the net to find some inspiration. Well I found dozens of card that I loved so I have made 3 and will decide which one I will give on the the day.

First off I have to show this one. How cute is this. It's called a gel card and you use a zip-lock bag with some hair gel in it. There is a tutorial here and the card I CASEd is here (but I must say I like mine better!).

I've used patterned paper from the Baja Breeze Designer Series Paper layered on Pink Pirouhette and Baja Breeze card. The flowers are Prima flowers from my pre-Stampin' Up! days.

I'm happy with how this one turned out. I'm sure it will make my niece smile.

I will share some more cards soon.

Happy Stamping.

More Cupcakes

Well I don't know what's going on with the calender but it sure does seem to be skipping days here & there. I think I just lost the whole of June !!!!

I have hardly had a chance to update here but I'm determined not to let it go completely. So let today be the start of the rest of the year.

Here is a card using the set called "Crazy for Cupcakes". I'm finding this set really useful for boys, girls and adults too.

I showed a card before using just the balloon stamp. This card is using the cupcake stand for a pretty girls card.

Colours used here are Apricot Appeal, Close to Cocoa and Pretty in Pink as well as Whisper white. I have used the Oval punches and some matching ribbons and I have added some glitter to the cupcake tops (I don't think that shows up too well in the photo).

Hope you like this one and hopefully I will have more to show you soon.
