Waiting For Vincent Louis

There is nothing more special than awaiting the birth of a precious little baby.  I was asked to make a personalized baby shower card for a baby boy and had some fun digging through my stash to find a stamp I have not used in ages.  I've had this little baby stamp since I started stamping over 12 years ago and I found him in a dollar bin!

Supplies:
Stamps: Studio G 
Paper: Gina K Designs, DCWV
Ink: Archival Cornflower Blue
Misc.: Spellbinders Dies, Stampin' Up Oval Punch

For this card I decided not to do the usual baby blue colors and think this different combination was a fun one.

Wishing many blessings to the family and friends as they await baby Vincent's arrival!

A Visit From The Stork

Hi, guys! Today I am sharing a pair of baby cards I made this weekend.  I was asked to make baby boy cards for both these ladies.

The first one used an adorable House Mouse bunny image. I was asked to personalize this card with the baby's name as well.

Supplies:
Stamps: House Mouse, Lawn Fawn Banner
Paper: Desert Storm Card stock, Gina K Designs
Ink: Memento Black, Copic Markers, Distress Ink (Gathered Twigs)
Misc.: Lawn Fawn Banner Die, Spellbinders Circle Dies, Twine, Tim Holtz Pin

The next one up is for an attorney I work with.  I was asked to make a card for her shower, and know that she is having a baby boy.

Supplies:
Stamps: Rubber Stampede, Cloud9 Design
Paper: Gina K Designs, A Muse
Ink: Memento Black, Copic Makers, Distress Inks
Misc: Memory Box Dies, Corner Rounder

This week will be a busy one at work, and home.  I hope to start my Thanksgiving cards, and Christmas cards as well.  Sure don't know where the time is going!

Until next time!

It's A (Baby) Shower!

Hi, guys! What is more fun than a baby shower?  The anticipation, the adorable decorations and lots of happy, excited family and friends.  I was asked to make a baby shower card for a co-worker.  We aren't sure if it will be a boy or a girl, so I went with a neutral color palate of green and yellow.  I am entering this card in the COLOR CHALLENGE over at Simon Says Stamp & Show.

Supplies:
Stamps: Stampendous, Kolette Hall
Paper: Gina K Designs, DCWV
Ink: Memento Black, Versamark, Versafine (Black), Copic Markers
Misc.: Clear Embossing Powder, Metal Tab, Bakers Twine

I heat embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder to make it stand out against the patterned paper.  I found a metal tag in my stash that I thought would look cute on the card as well.

Hope you have a great day, and find a few moments in the day to do something you love!
