Welcome baby Cale

I made this card following this weeks MFTWSC11 and also in celebration of the birth of one of my friends baby boy. I flipped this sketch onto it's side to accomodate the set I wanted to use.

I pulled out my new "who's that girl" my how you've grown set. I paired this lovely set with some "new arrival" paper by Pebbles. I purchased some of this paper in both the boys and girls line...it's sooooo cute! I paper pieced this "mom's" pj pants and the baby's little onesie. I coloured the rest using my Copic markers. The main image is popped up onto dimensionals and some ribbon and baby braddies finish off my design. The sentiment is from A Muse and I used the "Trust yourself. You know more then you think you do" sentiment from the set. So perfect for new parents.

Supplies: Stamps: My how you've grown (MFT), sentiment (A Muse). CS: chocolate chip, creamy caramel cs (SU!), Neenah solar crest cs, PP: New arrival (Pebbles). Ink: Momento. Access: Copic markers, Ribbon (May Arts), brads (Recollections), and dimensionals.

Ciao!

Baby Wynn

I pulled out my Baby bump stamp set from MFT to make a card for my good friend who is expecting her first baby. (I just love this set). I also made her a matching 3X3 gift box using the template from MFT.

The main image I mirrored the template design sample from MFT, I just used different patterned papers and designed the card layout on my own.

The paper flowers on the card I made....check them out! They are sooo cute ((I was very proud of myself I might say)) and worked out really well. I punched 2 bashful blue pieces using the scallop punch from Stampin Up, and punched 1 chocolate chip. Then I crumpled them up over and over until they got really soft and really worn. I simply layered them on top of each other, layered my sentiment flag and a bow on top and then stitched a button through it all and then attached the whole thing using a glue dot.

I once again used my new arrival patterned paper by Pebbles. This paper is soooo sweet for those sweet bundle of joys. You can check out the first card I did using this paper and stamp set here. The kraft panel is embossed using my swiss dot's embossing folder and the main image panel is popped up using dimensionals. I had to use the "rock the bump" sentiment because my friend is definately rockin her little bump! She looks like a million bucks, feels great and only has 1 month to go!!

Supplies: Stamps: Baby bump (MFT). CS: whisper white (base), kraft cs, chocolate chip cs, bashful blue cs (SU!), Neenah solar white cs, PP: New arrival (Pebbles). Ink: Momento. Access: Copics, swiss dots embossing folder, cuttlebug, scallop punch (SU!), wooden button (time 4 crafts), ribbon (May Arts), old map, old book page, 2way glue pen, dimensionals and glue dots.

Thanks for checkin' out my newest!

Rock the bump gift set

I have 2 very close friends who are both expecting their first babies in March. Both friends are having boys and I knew I had to bust out "baby bump" from MFT, and use their 3X3 box template (available here). For the box, I pretty much duplicated the design exactly (I am gonna try my hand at another and will change it up a bit). If you have not followed one of the MFT templates before, let me tell you...they are so easy! So well laid out, with such great instructions and so worth the very small price! What are you waiting for? Go get yours now!
Here is a close up of the card. I paper pieced her top and shopping bags, coloured her with Copics (the sidewalk too). I added a chocolate blossom, layered with tulle, wedding confetti flower and a wooden button. The main image is popped up with dimensionals.
The patterned paper is new arrivals by Pebbles and I absolutely L-O-V-E it!! I bought both the boys and girls prints....so adorable!


Here is an up close shot of the 3X3 box (template by MFT). What I love about this little box is you could make it for any occasion! I want to re-state that the design of this box was designed by MFT. The box lid panels were embossed with the cuttlebug, the little flowers I sewed with sequins are wedding confetti flower's from Michaels.




box supplies: Baby bump template from MFT. Stamps: baby bump (MFT). CS: whisper white, basic grey cs (SU!) PP: new arrival (Pebbles), text background (October afternoon), phonebook page, map from internet. Ink: Momento. Access: Copic markers, 2way glue pen, ribbon (May Arts), tulle (American Crafts), button (MM), wedding confetti flowers, sequins (Michaels) and dimensionals.

Now I just need to make another set for my other friend. I plan to put some diaper cream (it's actually a balm from Lush that I use on my baby and it is the best ever!) and maybe a couple pairs of little socks in the box for them.

Thanks for checkin out the newest and have a stamp-happy weekend!
