Baby Card and Older Card Projects

My friend is expecting their first baby over Easter Weekend. 

Such a great and wonderful blessing! 

This is the card that I made for them. 

I used Stampin Ups retired sets called Baby Tee's Gumbo wheel and 

Curly Cute. 

I rolled the gumbo wheel twice and cut out the

baby onsies and water coloured them. I then used pop dots to raise them

up off the card to give dimension. 

I really liked how this card turned out and I hope my friend likes it too. 

Now onto some older card projects. 

Easter Daffodil Trifold Card

 I used Tonic Studio Dies to create this card. I shaped the flower 

dies with my Heartfelt Creations Flower Shaping Tools. Then hot glued them to the card.

 Watercolured Hydrangea Card

 To create this card I used For the Love Of Stamps-

Flowering Hydrange stamp set. I masked the main flower and then stamped the leaves. 

Added glitter accents to finish off the card. 

Sympathy Card

I don't think anyone ever likes creating these types of cards. 

I used the For the Love of Stamps-In My Thoughts stamp set. I stamped the background

 images and the heat embossed the main flower image. 

Messy Watercolour Dahlia Card

 For this card I used For the Love of Stamps- Delightful Dahlias stamp set. 

I heat embossed the main flower image and then masked the flowers off and stamped and heat embossed the leaves. I then watercoloured the 

flowers and leaves drying between each layer of colour. 

Fairy Card

 This card was made using Tonic Studio dies and stamps. 

Floral Card

 This card was made using Tonic Studios dies and MFT stamps. 

Fairy Card

 I love this Fairy girl, love how its the back of her and she is walking away. 

Floral Dress Birthday Card

I used Tonic Sudios Dies and some random stamps for this card. 

Added pearl accents to finish it off. 

Thank you for looking and hope you are inspired to create.

Halloween Pictures and Cards

Happy Autumn to everyone.
So sorry I have not posted anything for some time.
I have been very busy. So I am trying to play catch up on a few things.

Good news though, I have been asked to create the banner for my wards
Christmas party this year :)
I am Very excited about being able to do that :)

Also I have joined the PTA at my daughters school, and will be helping them with their Christmas fair, they are trying to have more homemade baked goods this year, so I will be doing a lot of baking, as well as helping out on the craft stalls for the kids. So I am going to be busy for the next few weeks :)

Anyways, since I am trying to catch up on projects and cards I have made over the past few months, I thought I would get them all posted today!!!!

So to start things off I thought I would post the pics of my kids at Halloween :)

David, Derek and Emma Halloween 2010
As you can see my oldest son David didnt feel like
dressing up this year :(

This is my beautiful daughter Emma in her very cute witches outfit :) She said "witches have green faces"....so that is what we did...and I dont know if you can tell, but she has a black mole drawn on her face , she said" mommy witches have big black moles by their noses" Can you tell how excited she was :)

And this is my youngest son Derek as a dead school boy hehe had
a lot of fun doing this outfit and his make-up.

Had a very good Halloween, was not too cold this year and it did'nt rain !!!
I made a huge pot of homemade chilli, and when we got home we had that and watched movies :)

Wedding Anniversary Card

This is a card I made for a friend of mine, she wanted male colours but for it to be a bit feminine.

I did her lips in Red before I stamped , if you do this give it a few minutes to dry, or it could possibly smear when mixing in other colours.

Birthday Card

I got asked to make a birthday card for a woman that was turning 60. I was asked if it could be black and white with pearls. Well I am not used to making
black and white cards period lol.......so this was a bit of a challenge for me!!
But I was up for it!! And it turned out way
better than I thought it would !!
And the woman that asked me to make it, thought it was very elegant:)
Which made me feel very good !!

Items used:
White and Black cardstock
LetterPress with Black ink
Sizzix texture plate
Self Adhesive Pearls
Flowers from stash
Nesties

have been getting married...am sure its something in the water !!! :)

Roses from stash and I took a Promarker around
the edge of the roses to highlight them.

Going Back to August hehe

This is the card I made for Emmas teacher when they returned to school. She was so excited and nervous at the same time about going back because her brother Derek had left the school and gone into highschool:( Gosh how they grow!!!
So she asked if I would make something for her class and her teacher and this is what I came up with.
Since her teacher this year is a male...I didnt think giving him a card to match her Top-Note basket would be ok lol......so I made him the card above. And he really liked it:)

The Top-Note basket I made on my cricut machine.
I found a design, but it wouldnt work!!
So I sat and sat and sat some more and designed a basket that pretty much matched the one I had tried to use.

The lollipops inside are covered with a strawberry lollipop holder,
that I also cut on my machine.
There was enough in this little basket for 27 kids and 1 teacher :)

Baby Carry All Front View

Told you there was lots of woman having babies this year !! This is one of the Baby Carry Alls I made. Again I had found a cut file to use. But upon opening it, I found out that it was the wrong type of file for my program:(
So again I sat and sat and sat some more and re-designed this file! And came up with this, which is pretty close to the one I tried to use!! So I am happy!!
And my friends that have had babies this past summer have loved them !!

Side View

Another Baby Card

I designed this Baby card for a teacher....she didnt know what she was having and didnt want to find out until the baby was born....didnt think anyone did that anymore hehehe
So I used colours that would be ok for a boy or girl!!

Cri-Kit Gel Pens for the Cricut

Ok so I had not bought any craft stuff for awhile!! Talking like 4-5 months !!! So when I seen these I thought omg how cool are they !! And they are very cool!!

So what do they do ?
Well they are pens that come with a case and are magnetic at one end and fit right into your cricut machine . They allow you to draw the images , or wording!!
And if you have a program like MTC or SCAL not sure if its the same in Cricut design studio....but it allows you to draw and then cut out the image !!!

So that is what I had done above....with the gel pens , it drew the image, and then I change the holder back to the cricut blade and cut the image out on the cricut.

I coloured in the ears, toes and flowers with my Pastel Sakura pens.
They turned out really nice :)

Thanks for looking:)

Baby Boy Card

What wonderful weather we are having !!
So so nice outside. I have been out doing
stuff with my kids, and not crafted a whole
lot in the last few days !! To nice to be in-doors :)

Been busy doing other stuff as well...we tore
down an old storage building in our back garden .
And re-laid paving stones . Been doing a bit of
Spring cleaning in the house as well....went and
bought new nets for the windows ,and I am going to go
thru my kids clothes this next week...how do they
manage aquireing soooo many clothes !!! But not only
that...all 3 of my kids are going thru growth spurts
at the moment!!! My oldest son is 14 and if he grows
another inch..he will be taller than me :( And I am 5'9"
So by the time he is 16-17 he is gonna tower over me haha.
They grow up way way way to fast !!

Anyways , onto the card :)


I made this card useing the Pickles and Onion stamps,
From the Daisy and Dandelion stamp range.
Pickles is a very cute elephant. I really like his
big butterfly type ears :) And he was fun to colour.
I wanted the card to be simple and
not over powering since it is a baby card.

Items used :
Cream ,white cardstock
DCWV glitter papers
Glitter ribbon ,blue buttons and eyelets from stash
Sizzix texture plate

Stamp:
Pickles from Daisy and Dandelion range
I used WhisperStrokes markers as water colour on him ,
and also used Sakura glitter pens as watercolour
to give the ears a very soft blue sparkle.
Not sure if you can see it in the picture but
its very very pretty !! Sakura Glaze pens to do the eyes.

Thank you for looking :)

Baby Boy Card

I am going to be an Aunt again . My sister-in-law has found out she is having a baby boy. So I made this card for her.

I hand-stitched Baby onto the white cardstock, made from a template I had made. Once I had that done, I went over the thread with a Blue Sakura Stardust pen , to give it a bit of sparkle .



Items used:
DCWV papers
Blue,white,and cream cardstock
Blue Brads from stash
Flowers from Papermania

Baby Doll Dress Cards

This set of cards I made with a template I found online. I really like it....the apron of the dress lifts up, to reveal your message :)

I used brads, ribbon, buttons , and some star flower sticky gems.

I dont remeber where I found the papers from.....but they were from an online blog or site to download for scrapbooking.....so I took a piece of cardstock that had a pretty print on one side.....and then printed the paper on the other side.....so when it is all cut out and fixed....you have the 2 patterns .
But now they have papers that are double
sided ...which are great for this project !!!
The baby doll dress is mounted onto a piece of cardstock
..you can not open this card up....hence the apron effect :)

Thanks for looking :)

Baby Card
