Zoo Babies

This is such a cute stamp set.  I've used Stampin' Up! markers to colour directly onto the stamps.  This means you can easily achieve different colours in your images.

I've first punched my images out using the postage stamp punch then attached to a Soft Sky Scallop Square. The card base is Pacific Point with a mat of Tempting Turquoise.  I stamped a banner of flags on the background from Banner Banter.  The sentiment also comes from this set.

I love these little critters such a shame they are now retired. 

Take care. xx

Hello Baby Blessings!

Happy Saturday Evening!  

I'm flying in past with my card for this week's challenge over at  Less is More which has a theme of "New Baby".  

I decided for my card to go with neutral cards as last year I had plenty baby girl cards but all the new babies in the family were boys! 

So I've started with a Crumb Cake base and added Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron as accent colours.  The designer paper is actually from the Christmas set - Seasons of Style.  As you can see a super set of double sided papers and not just for Christmas.  I mounted it onto a mat of Pear Pizzazz.  

The tag is Whisper White with the nest from Take Care stamped in Crumb Cake and Blessings stamped in Pear Pizzazz.  The eggs are stamped in So Saffron and popped up on a Dimensional.  The ribbon is 3/8" Pear Pizzazz Taffeta.  I also attached the tag with Dimensionals. 

The sentiment is from Sweet Essentials and stamped directly on the card base in Crumb Cake. 

Remember to check out all the special deals before they disappear! 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.  x

Precious Baby Just the Ticket

Another clean and simple baby card for you.  This one was for a 1st birthday for a sweet baby boy. 

So easy with a few party balloons from Party This Way and this cute little ticket from That's the Ticket punched out with the co-ordinating punch.   

Yesterday was a day of errors.  Hubby had a real bad start to the day when reversing into his parking space at work he broke his back window.  Jess (our puppy) didn't notice that her puppy pad had been lifted so I could hoover and did a pee anyway which I then didn't notice and walked through it!  My daughter who has just had her ears pierced when cleaning them dropped one down the sink.  So Mum to the rescue took off the u bend making sure I had a basin under it.  Yep not so daft!  Found said ear ring and poured the dirty water back into the sink whilst I still had u bend in my hand.  Yep really daft!!!  Only one who didn't have a disaster was my son.

Hope your day goes without calamity!  xx

Baby Boy Baby Prints

Good Afternoon.  

We have a sunny afternoon which is lovely to see.  I need a baby boy card for our new great nephew.  We are all so excited because we get to meet him on Saturday!  Yay cuddles!! 

I've followed the colours at Dynamic Duos - Bashful Blue and Midnight Muse.

Aren't baby feet just the cutest?  And these are from a fabulous set called Baby Prints.  I've stamped these in Bashful Blue on Whisper White mounted onto Midnight Muse.  The navy bow was made using my bow maker - see here.  The panel is popped up on Dimensionals.  I've attached some Very Vanilla Designer Paper from the Neutrals Stack to a mat of Midnight Muse onto a card base of Bashful Blue.  The little sentiment is from the same set stamped in Bashful Blue.  You can change it to say girl if you want.  It's punched out with the Curly Label Punch. 

Last day to take advantage of grabbing a starter kit of £155 for £99.  What a bargain!  But better be quick.  Drop me a line if you want to discuss this further and see if it's right for you. 

Thanks for visiting.  x

Baby Prints Boy and Girl

Two more baby cards to share today.  I did say I just love this new stamp set!  

I was delighted to see the theme at Less is More for this week is Baby or Child.  So a great excuse to reach for Baby Prints again. 

My first card has Blushing Bride baby hand prints and Regal Rose for the sentiment.  Love the font in this set.  I placed a partial mount of Blushing Bride below and corner rounded the top corners.  

My second card has the hand prints stamped in Sahara Sand.  This was to look like baby hand print moulds.  Mounted the panel onto bashful blue.  The sentiment is from Curly Cute also stamped in Sahara Sand and mounted onto Bashful Blue.  I then added a little scattering of Bashful Blue hearts punched using the Owl Builder Punch.

It's our school May Fair today and for the first year both children have gone on their own with their own pocket money and met up with friends.  The freedom!    

Have a good day. x

Baby Boy Fox and Friends

This is a card we made at my card class this week.  A baby boy card to go along with the baby girl card I posted here. 

I started off with a Crumb Cake base and added a mat of Bashful Blue with the corners rounded. 

I then stamped some of the cute animals from Fox and Friends in So Saffron on Whisper White and punched out using the 1 1/4" Square Punch.  I also punched out 3 squares of Beau Chateau Designer Series Papers.  The squares were arranged and attached to a Marina Mist mat before running through the Square Lattice Folder. 

The sentiment is from Baby Prints and I've just inked up the word "baby" in Marina Mist and stamped onto Whisper White.  I corner rounded one end of the tag and snipped the other for a ribbon effect.

Let me show you the Baby Prints stamp set.

Baby Prints is one of the many new fabby sets in the Summer Mini Catalogue.  Aren't those little hand and foot prints so cute?

Baby Prints in Pink

Isn't this a cutie?  I fell in love with the Baby Prints stamp set as soon as I saw it in the new Summer Mini.  I don't need a baby card at the moment.  My niece is pregnant but not due till July and we have no idea of the sex but I just wanted a play.  I'll make a baby boy one too so I'm covered either way! 

When I saw the sketch over at Simply Stampin' this week I knew it was perfect to use with this set. 

I started with a Crumb Cake card base.  I punched out a Lace Ribbon Border in Pink Pirouette and attached this onto the base card.  Then stamped those cute foot prints in Pretty in Pink then matted it onto the same coloured card stock.   This was mounted onto Dimensionals and attached.  I stamped cherish the moments in Pretty in Pink on Whisper White and attached to the side.  Finally I added a pink bow of Grosgrain Ribbon. 

I can't believe it's the weekend already.  I still have a lot of things to catch up on before the week is over so must dash.  Hope you have a lovely Friday.  Catch up with you soon. x

Baby Quilt

Good Morning!  Hope the sun is shining where you are today.

I've a baby card to share with you.  The Friday Mashup are asking you to

Make a project using the "Quilted Cards Technique"

Or Make a project using "Something that's been forgotten (sitting in your stash forever)"

Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Quilted card with something you've forgotten about"                            

So I had great fun making my quilted card.  I stamped Fox and Friends animals in Bashful Blue, Marina Mist, So Saffron and Certainly Celery.  Then punched out the animals using 1 1/4" Punch.  I also punched another 4 squares.  Then die cut the letters using Timeless Type Junior Alphabets and attached these to the squares.  I also punched squares out of Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper and cut these in half.  Then formed a pattern onto copier paper and attached the squares to it.  I ran this through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  Then further trimmed my "quilt" to fit the card base.  

I added a border of So Saffron and edged the bottom with the Scallop Edge Punch.  Then added another border of Certainly Celery before attaching to a Marina Mist card base. 

To finish I attached a rhinestone brad to one corner, which is my forgotten item.

Thanks for dropping by today and Welcome to Victoria.  I appreciate you following my little blog.  Hope you pop by often.

Baby Tees

Good Evening Everyone.  

Here is my second baby card for this week.  I know of  two baby boys that were born last weekend! 

For this one I followed the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and teamed Bashful Blue with So Saffron. 

I love the Baby Tees Wheel as it's so quick and easy to create a background or cut out the individual tees.  You can colour them or leave it plain as you wish.  

For my message tag I used welcome baby from the retired set Punch Bunch and added Congratulations from Occasional Quotes (also now retired).  To make the pointy end, I placed one end into one of the corners a square punch.  The welcome baby tag is popped up on some Dimensionals and a Basic Pearl finishes it off.

That's it for me this evening, it's been great to play around in my crafting supplies again.  Happy crafting everyone! x

Baby Love

Hi Everyone.  

Finally managed to do some crafting after our family holiday in Florida.  We had a super time visiting Mickey and friends, going on rides and shopping.  Also managed few trips to Michaels and Joanns.  

So now that the family are back into routine I thought I would get cracked on with some new baby cards that I need.  Here's my first one which fits the Less is More challenge this week to use polka dots.  I'm hoping that my mojo came back with me and isn't still partying it up in Florida!  It was really strange picking up my crafting tools after such a long break.

Here's the details of my card - 

The card base is Crumb Cake.  I used some patterned paper from Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper.  I stamped Fox and Friends in Bashful Blue, Crumb Cake and So Saffron on Whisper White which was then mounted onto Crumb Cake.   "baby" and "love" were stamped in Bashful Blue from Pennant Parade.  Linen Thread was used to hang the tags and a small Basic Pearl finishes it off.

A little tip to share.  I was literally becoming swamped in scraps so decided to sort them out into rough sizes.  I now have several plastic boxes (chinese takeaway boxes worked fab, used them all. must eat more Chinese hee hee) with varying sizes of scraps.  Took a whole evening and a numb posterior!  But much easier to look for small pieces for tags etc.  

Hope you are having a great week!  Take care. x
