Baby Baby!

Good morning all!

It's Monday & it's time for the new challenge over at Eureka Stamps!

This weeks fun theme is

#187 Baby Cards

I've made a 1st Birthday card using the oh so sweet image,

digi 40204 Baby Animals

I coloured up the image using my promarkers.

I'll let you in to a secret...........

I've been under the weather for a couple of weeks and

while I was making this card, I made a big boo boo & stuck it all on 

the wrong way round! I managed to salvage it though & 

the card has now turned into an 8"x8" project.

The papers I've used are from Lidl, they're great quality & I'm

 not sure if you can see but they are embossed too!

The stars were punched from the papers using different sixed xcut punches.

I hope you can play along in the challenge

I'd like to enter this card in a couple of challenges:
Scrappy Hands -  Babies
Crafting with Dragonflies - baby card
Crazy 4 Challenges - little critters

Good Morning all, it's Wednesday lready!

Happy Hump Day!

I don't have a card to share today but I do have this!

A friend at work has recently become gran & this was a little something

I made for her grandson.

I tried not to make it too babyish so it could be displayed for longer

I aplogise for the photo, it's not the best  but I'm sure you get the general idea.

The frame is from Ikea & the buttons are from my stash.

The background is Kraft cardstock from my stash.

I got the little mdf shapes at the Ross Papercraft Show in Edinburgh recently.

The Scrabble type letters are by Papermania.

This is my first try at making a button monogram. It was fun to do so I think 

I will be making a few more! Watch this space!

Good morning all!

I hope you're well!

Todays's card is to welcome a Brand New Baby Boy

I used a deoupage download from La Pashe.

Good Morning all!

Todays little card was made using the brand new La Pashe 

Watercolour Wishes range which was on Create & Craft TV the other week.

It's not available on the La Pashe website until the end of this week.

I made an A5 tentfold card from an A3 sheet of cardstock then added the

background image directly onto the card front. 

I cut out & added the decoupage then used some of the extra bits from the 

elements sheet to decoupage the baby vest & toys on the shelf too!

I added a couple of layers of lace & some ribbon at the side.

I reckon this design would be perfect for  boy or a girl!

Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Bath - La Pashe

Hi all,

Here's a little card I'd like to share with you today!

I made it a while back but I found it hiding in a folder on my PC

This is Baby Bath from The Best Of  La Pashe 2014 CD Rom. 

I cut the easel section of my card with Grand Nestability 

The decoupage was cut & layered.

The paper & sentiment I have used are also by La Pashe

I've added a double bow & some buttons from my stash!

Sweet & simple!

Thanks for popping in, I hope you like it!

Baby Drum

Good morning all!

It's been ages since I've shared a Just Inklined 

card with you but I have one to share today!

I was asked to make a card with a teddy, for a first grandchild.

The image I have used is Baby Drum.

I've coloured the image using a mix of flexmarkers & promarkers.

The papers are from Southfield Stationers

The sentiment was made on my pc.

The heart border was made using a Martha Stewart punch.

Here's a closer look at the image.

Isn't he just a total cutie?

Thanks for looking!

Leave me a comment & I'll visit your blog too!

Welcome Little One

Hi all,

I have another card to share with you!

Sorry, it's a fairy! They seem to be right on trend just now! lol

This card is my DT card for the challenge over at

The Crafting Cafe. This month's, theme is 

Welcome Little One!

I've gone a little bit out there this time, with a little fab n funky style!

My card base is a 6 x6 scalloped square.

The DP I have used is from Lidl. 

I always buy a load of these when they have them!

This image was supplied by our sponsor this month

The Stamping Boutique

I used a Martha Stewart Heart punch for the border, wrapped some 

button twine around, then made the flower by layering up some 

hessian flowers which came in a bag from Poundland,

& added a button centre.

Here's a closer look at the image!

I coloured her up with my flexmarkers then cut out with an

oval nestie. I inked with a chalk inkpad then matted onto a scalloped oval.

A little side view to show the decorated inside too!

The sentiment was created on my PC!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you like my little card!

Good morning all!

My goodness, I can't believe it's Thursday already!

That's what happens when you go gadding off for long weekends abroad! lol

So, it's time to share a card with you all for Just Inklined

Here's what I made

 A First Birthday Card for a baby boy!

The image I have chosen this time is

Baby Drum

Such a cute image, whenever I saw him I new I had to have a play.

I coloured him up with promarkers & flexmarkers then

added a little bit of Antique Linen Distress Ink.

I did think to ink all the panels but I didn't like the look so

I started again! lol

I used the sketch below for my card

Try Stampin on Tuesday

I added a panel which was embossed with a Honeycomb embossing folder

behind the image. The papers I have used are from Southfield Stationers.

The script paper is the Nursery Ryhme Little Boy Blue.

I thought the sheep paper was the perfect partner.

The sentiment was printed out with the image & cut with a

Spellbinders Die. I also added a couple of buttons threaded with twine,
(my favourite embellishments) from my stash.

Thanks for popping in, I hope you enjoyed your visit!

A Baby Is Born

Good Morning lovely blogger, I have  card to share today!

The current challenge theme over at The Crafting Cafe is 

A Baby Is Born!

Interpret as you will, create a project & link it up so we can all 

come over to visit your blog & Oooh & Ahh over it! lol

Here's my creation!

I've made a little shaker Christmas card.

The image is AKV Nativity Baby Jesus from our sponsor 

Bugaboo Stamps.

The base card is 5"x5" Kraft & the papers are from my stash!

I've had them for ages but don't know who they are by as they came in a goodie box 

as far as I can recall! I added some good old Peel Off borders which are 

actually the waste from between bubble border strips. The little dots are

also waste from the middle of the bubbles.

Sorry about the photos but it was really windy outside where

I normally take my pics & the card almost blew away several times.

It has gotten so shaken up that the glitter has gone a bit static

& is clinging on to the acetate! lol.

There is actually a little silver fibre bow at the bottom of the shaker

window but I'm not sure you can make it out in the photo! lol

Thanks for popping by! I do hope you can play in the challenge!

It's just adorable isn't it! Perfect for a girl or a boy!

I coloured the image up with ProMarkers & FlexMarkers.

I wanted to have it quite subtle but to "Pop" as well!

Not sure where I got the sentiment from, I've had it forever!

I cut it out using a Sizzix die, threaded with ribbon from my stash

& added a few little self-adhesive flat backed pearls!

A little double  ribbon bow to finish off.

Morning all!

I have a card to share!

I couldn't blog about it before as the person it was

 intended for may have seen it!

The image is from Pink Gem Designs

She's so yummy you could just eat her!!!

The layout for my card was a sketch

from My Time Made Easy

I coloured up the image with promarkers & added some 

Anita's 3D Glaze to the bubbles!

I distressed all my edges with a pair of scissors & an ink pad!

The sentiment was made on my PC.

Embellishment wise, I added some brads, ribbon bows,

& layered Papermania flowers with brads at the centre.

Finally, a few little buttons from my stash!

I do hope you like it!
