Welcome Baby Boy

Bitty Babies retired stamp set from TAC, paper from my stash

(I am not sure of the name of the pack), Dazzles borders from

Hot Off The Press, Epiphany Crafts button punch, Spellbinders

die, gold embossing powder, Inktense Watercolor pencils,

Wink of Stella pen, and bling from my stash.

This is another of the baby cards I have made recently for
one of my colleagues who was having a boy.
I love the Bitty Babies stamp set, and this card was so
fun to make. I have been experimenting with
different kinds of dimension on my cards. I thought this
turned out very cute.
Next in line is a card for twins, and then after that, another card
for a baby but do not know if it is a boy or girl yet.
I keep telling the girls there not to drink the water!

Hello!

 

Amuse cardstock, Neena white cardstock, Janie's Girls

 Stamp Set from Hot Off The Press, Spellbinders Die,

Hello Die from Amuse, Copic Markers, Wink of Stella pen,

Spica pens, Irresistible Pico Embellisher,

Washi tape from my stash.

 

I wanted to create an everyday card and love this stamp set from

Hot Off The Press. I have used the Janie's stamp sets a lot.

I also have been using die cuts a lot and love the idea

of layering the dies to create depth as in the hello.

I also edged the inside and outside of the frame with black

to create some depth. You can't see it clearly on this image but

the Pico Embellisher (like Glossy Accents but doesn't puff up as much)

has glitter in it.

This card makes me think of my granddaughters and that always

makes me happy.

I was browsing for challenges and thought this fit the Sketch Saturday

challenge very well so I joined it.

cardstock, Bazzill cardstock, designer paper from my

stash (don't remember name), ribbon and bling

from my stash, Wink of Stella glitter pen,

My Favorite Die-Namics Pierced Rectangle Dies,

We are having a baby boom at my office lately and I have

been making quite a few baby cards. This is one of
the ones I made recently for a coworker who is

having a baby girl.

I have always loved this stamp set so it is a

go to for me.

This was my first experience working with Gamisol

but I liked the outcome.

The Wink of Stella was a perfect touch for a little girl.

With Deepest Sympathy

Cardstock from my stash, papers from Hot Off The

Press called Artful Watercolor, Dazzles Sympathy and borders from

Hot Off The Press, stamp set from Gina K Designs called You

Are My Favorite, Spellbinders oval die cut, and pearls

from my stash.

 

I recently had a very dear friend who had a death

in her family and I wanted to send a Sympathy card.

I love the papers in the Artful Watercolors paper pack,

and the stamp set from Gina K seemed perfect.

I was aiming for peace and serenity with the card.

It was sent off last week along with prayers for her

family.

 

 

 

Cat Sympathy

Ice Silver and Stardream Metallic cardstock from

the Paper Cuts, Cat Sympathy stamp set from

Our Daily Bread, heart paw print from

Janie's Furry Friends from Hot Off The Press,

Silver Dazzles from Hot Off The Press, die cut (I don't

remember who from), and

transparent embossing powder.

 

This weekend we had our Stamping Convention in

Collinsville IL, and I had so much fun there. I met up

with some friends I always go with when I got there.

It wouldn't be the same without them! I missed you Marian!

 

Just as I arrived I received a phone call from my

mother stating that her cat had died yesterday.

The first stamp set I purchased was this one with

my mom in mind. I absolutely love it!

It will go out to her today.

I love this cardstock with it's shimmer, and couldn't

wait to use it. Thank you Marian for introducing me

to it!

Puppy Love

 

Amuse cardstock, Neena white cardstock, stamp

image and sentiment from Hot Off The Press Janie's

Furry Friends, Copic markers, Irresistible Pico

Embellisher, stitched dies, bling from my stash.

 

This card was CASED from a YouTube video I

saw by Jennifer McQuire. I loved the way she had recessed

part of the inlaid frames and wanted to try it.

 

This is the CUTEST stamp set! I fell in love

with it as soon as I saw it. There is nothing

that can make you feel more loved or feel better

than a cuddle and wet kiss from a dog. Makes me

miss my Sugar a lot.

You really can't tell from this picture, but the Pico

Embellisher is shiny like Glossy Accents, and

has a little sparkle to it also. It is on the hearts, the girls bow,

and on the word Love.

Just love the way it turned out.

Hello Deer

Side step card from Hot Off The Press, Woodland Beauties Dazzles

from Hot Off The Press. paper from my monthly Dazzles kit (not

sure of the name of it), and various Wink Of Stella pens.

 

I've been staying at my son's house watching his kids for the last

week while he took his wife on vacation for their 10th

Anniversary. They went to Colorado and posted lots of pictures

of Elk and Moose, and went on hikes. I thought this might be a perfect

card for them. I made it last week before I came to their house.

I thought I would have the kids sign it for them.

It has been fun, the kids and I have really enjoyed ourselves.

It did however take me back to the days of raising my own

kids and running all over the place!
