Boy Birthday

Posted on January 28, 2011 | Leave a comment

I usually like to make cards that are pink and frilly and glittery, but wanted to have something on hand for a little boy. I used the sketch from CPS #202 to create this cute card. I had some DCWV Animal Crackers paper that I used for the background and embellished it with an elephant stamp. I had never tried paper piecing with a stamp before and I’m proud of how my elephant came out. I stamped the image on the kraft circle, a piece of plaid paper, and a piece of blue paper. I cut the elephant body out of the plaid paper, ear out of the blue one and glued them to the kraft one. Not too hard so I will definitely try to do this again!

Thanks for looking!

Baby Card

Another baby card! Oh no! : ) Just kidding…I know a lot of people having babies so I’m really on a roll making cutesy baby cards. This one was inspired by the Card Patterns sketch #98. I used baby style paper from DCWV and stamped Sweet Baby and tried to make it look like a tag. The card is 4×8 which is a size I always forget about using. I love the way it looks. I think its pretty different because I always seem to make 4×6 or square cards.

Thanks for looking!

Baby Congrats Cards

Posted on January 5, 2011 | 2 comments

Okay, I’m back crafting. I think one thing I have the most trouble with is balance in my life. I have a 16 month old little girl, husband, house, mostly full time job and my passion for crafting. I’m so blessed, but have so much trouble finding time to do everything I want to do in a day. If only I didn’t need sleep. 🙂 Oh well, here are a few baby cards I’d been working on. The first one I made using the CPS sketch #199. I made the card for a coworker who is having a baby girl in February. I love the background paper! Its so cute and colorful. I have also had this pregnant lady stamp forever and have barely used it. I hope my coworker likes it.
