Sweet Baby

Good morning!

It's our new challenge at CAS-Colours and Sketches this week, and it's a sketch...

Isn't it a fabby sketch? I decided to add to my stock of new baby cards....

I used my favourite baby set, Sweetest Gift. I stamped the sentiment onto the Vellum Cardstock in Baked Brown Sugar, and coloured the letters to match the lovely Lullaby DSP.

I added the circle sentiment which I heat embossed in Clear Stampin' Emboss after I cut it out, to give it a little shine. The Pumpkin Pie Chevron Ribbon and pearls gave a lovely finishing touch, don't you think??

What will you make for your entry? Remember to keep it CAS and follow the sketch...we can't wait to see! :)

New Baby and New Catalogue...FREE!!

Good morning and a huge welcome to my newest follower via Bloglovin...Susan! Thank you for joining me here in blog world...I hope you enjoy my creations and waffling!

It's new sketch day at CAS-Colours and Sketches this week and it's time for a sketch with a difference!

I took my inspiration from the shape shown here, mainly as that is about the only shape Framelit I have big enough to make a card!

I used the cute Sweetest Gift (retiring) stamp set for this one, mainly as I knew the mobile would 'hang' perfectly!

I coloured the stamp using Stampin' Write Markers and 'hung' it using nail pearls. The card base was die cut using the Labels Collection Framelits, and was embossed using the Chevron EF. I trimmed off the bottom so it would stand firmly.

Do you have a copy of the brand new catalogue yet? No?

 Well if you place an order either through me, or my online shop, between now and 8pm on June 30th I will send you one for FREE! Not only that, but you will also receive one of my cute little bookmarks with all the yummy new In Colours for 2014/16! 

What do you have planned for today? I am working, shopping and crafting...wonder which I prefer more... ;)

Adopted New Baby

Good morning everyone! I am back from Berkshire, all refreshed but missing my family. I hope we get to see them again really soon!

Today is Thursday which means it's time for a new sketch at CAS - Colours and Sketches...

So here is my cute little card...

I used the cute Cuddles and Kisses and Sweetest Gift stamp sets, very simply stamped.

The paper is printed from MDS (can you tell I love my printable papers?) and I distressed all the edges using the distressing tool. I finished with Candy Dots.

If you would like to order any of the products I have used here, please click on my shop link (over on the right!), or contact me to place your order for you.

It is Keiran's birthday today, so I may not get any crafting done, but I'm sure I'll be back soon with something for you!

New Baby in a Box card

Hello everyone!

I have a really special card to show you today...I made this for my gorgeous new niece's arrival.

This really was a labour of love! It took me a few hours to make but I really enjoyed making it! I have used stamps from various current and retired sets and attached them using strips of Window Sheet. 

The DSP is printed from MDS, as is the main sentiment panel and the 2 side panels have lovely little verses from 2 of the stamp sets.

If you would like instructions on how to make a card like this, feel free to see my post here.

I am going to enter this card into a couple of challenges...

SU-per Challenges - Birth

Stampin' Royalty - Oh Baby

I think this is a really pretty card and I hope it is treasured long enough for little Evie to see it!

Have a lovely day!

A prettyful thank you!

Good morning!

Have you had a good weekend? I have been working, gardening, (yes it's that time of year again!), and I did manage to fit a little crafting in last night...

This card was one of those cards that just kind of built itself...after I got it wrong the first time! I used Summer Silhouettes and Sweetest Gift for this one. Don't you just love these tiny flowers?

The trellis, leaves and tiny flowers are from SS and the sentiment and punched panel are from SG. I created the sentiment panel by stamping and punching the main part out of Vellum Card Stock, using the Decorative Label Punch then I stamped and punched the sentiment using the Large Oval Punch to make it stand out. I used Tombow to adhere the vellum...it is awesome...totally invisible!!

I do rather like it when a card suddenly comes together...makes crafting worthwhile! I am entering it into the colour challenge at Dynamic Duos this week...

I's love it if you pop back tomorrow to see the card I sent my brother to celebrate the birth of my new niece :)

Adorable Baby

Good morning!

I love Saturdays, don't you? Especially as I have the day off and I'm re-organising my craft room, with Jen's help! We went to Ikea last night to get my new furniture. It should have been uneventful, but it wasn't! We got stuck in the lift! It is my first time and I can tell you, it will be my last because I do not plan to go in a lift again!! (or at least for a very long while!)

Another good thing about Saturdays is the new challenge at Less Is More, and this week it's 

NEW BABY

Now, as it happens, I made a new baby card for my DT card for our new sketch at Sketch Saturday this week, so I am entering it into this challenge.

I have used a stamp from a Stampin' Up! set called Sweetest Gift. It's stamped in Wisteria Wonder and I paper pierced the edge for interest.

I embossed the bottom half of the card blank with the Perfect Polka Dots EF and the banners are created using two of the FREE Sale-a-Bration products...Banner Blast stamps and Banner Punch.

I love our sketch this week and I hope you do too!

Baby, baby!

Hiya!

I have not one, but two cards for you today! Although, they are the same, just 2 colourways.

I have used a really cute stamp and sentiment from the Sweetest Gift set and simply stamped one in Pink Pirouette and the other in Soft Sky, with Basic Gray outlines.

I stitched the edges and mounted them on matching card blanks. I used the layout at CAS(E) This Sketch as inspiration for my card.
