Little White Dress

Good morning crafty friends!

This little angel is the reason I haven't been back in a couple weeks :)

My newest little grand baby Emily was welcomed to the world last week. She is the sweetest little lady and love her to death already! This makes four for me now with another one due in a short ten weeks!!! I am the luckiest Grammie in the world to have the most amazing growing family. 

Fitting in with the baby theme, I wanted to make a sweet little girl card. The picture really doesn't do it justice, so please forgive me for that. I just used some white 120 pound card stock and cut down the sides like I do my baby onesie cards. This time I used an embossing folder to make the lacy design and added some ribbon, a bow and a pearl in the center for that extra elegant look. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful crafty day! 

Spring Flowers

The Paper Players Challenge #185

Happy Hump Day Bloggers!!!!!

I am so happy to play in the Paper Players Challenge today. 

The challenge this week is for "thankful cards and spring colors". I decided it would be fun to do another flowerpot card...can't get anymore spring than that in my opinion. 

I used SU Sahara Sand cardstock, the new "Sale-A-Bration" " sweet sorbet" collection and a few miscellaneous thank you stamps. Punched the flowers and adhered a 3/4 inch circle and some buttons from my stash. 

If you wish to play too or just see some beautiful inspiration for thank you treasures, head on over by clicking the link above!

Have a great day everyone...Thanks for stopping by!

Spring Tulips

HAPPY SPRING!!!!

Oh wait..I forgot..spring is hiding somewhere!

This card is actually for a spring swap I am in. I wanted to do something different than just a regular card so I figured everyone's day can be brightened up with some flowers :)

I used So Saffron paper for the pot and some scraps from a baby Deja View stack I had. The leaves were just cut free hand and all glued and popped up together :)

The insert pops out to say "find joy in the little things". 

I hope she loves it as much as I had fun making it.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Special fold cards

Today was a day to just play with different things. I had lots of time to myself and thought I would make some more tedious cards today. Though in the long run, they really didn't take me as long as I figured. It was nice to make some different types today.

My first card is a criss cross card. I used a really old SU set of mine called touch of nature. I love taking out the old ones from time to time. This was one of my favorites so now that it's at the top of my pile, I am sure I will be pulling it out quite a bit for a while. Using it just reminded me how much I love it.

My other card is a scallop circle card. I was making this one and it just wouldn't come together. Somehow it just came together for me at the end. I really love how it turned out. The butterfly is just a K&Co embellishment and some ribbon from my stash. I added some pearls to finish it off.

I hope you love my "fun" cards and have a wonderful rest of the day!

Baby onsie cards

Hi everyone. I everyone is having an enjoyable week thus far! I have been having fun creating these cute little onsie cards for a friend of mine. She needed some baby cards for her collection and I thought these were fun little boy cards to keep on hand. They are too cute! The striped card is just made with some DCWV paper and added a little pre-made sailboat embelishment. The white one is from a stampin up set bundle of joy. I hope you like them..I will leave a quick tutorial below just in case you would like to try one for yourself. I hope they are clear enough.

1. Trim cardstock tfor card 4 1/4 x 11

2. Score at 5 1/2 to make card

3. Punch with 1 3/8 punch half circle for collar

4. Measure down from top on each side 1 3/4 inches (mark)

5. Measure across from previous mark 3/4 inches (mark)

6. Trim with scissors or craft knife from inside mark to bottom corner of card. (both sides)

7. Using 1 3/8 punch, make leg holes (trim a little off bottom to make crotch even)

8. cut from cardstock 3 circles with 1 3/8 inch punch

9. using scallop circle punch, punch around circle cutouts to make scallop trim (3 times)

10. adhere trim to collar and leg holes and trim excess

11. trim 2 pieces 1 3/4 by 1/2 inch and adhere to arm bands.

12. decorate as you wish.

I hope this makes sense :)

Bubbles and birthdays!

Hi everyone and VERY happy Friday to all of you!

I couldn't be more thrilled that it is Friday today. This weeks has just been one of those weeks! I was so happy to sit down and just play and have fun making something different.

My first card is made with some new paper I picked up yesterday from "my minds eye". It's from a 6x6 paper stack from the Stella Rose collection. It was finally the perfect size paper pack so I don't have too many scraps leftover! May I also add double sided... score!

My stamp is an old stamp I had of those adorable changito monkeys..I don't know what it is, but I can never get enough of them :) I added some fun little rain bling just to finish off my card.

My second card is an easel card. I decided I wanted to try a scalloped circle easel this time. Once we moved passed all of the work on the image, it was actually quite simple to make. Even shocked myself! The image itself is one of CC Designs and she is called "cupcake Kiki" I added my sentiment to the inside middle for the base holder and punched a cutie cupcake...all decked out with glitter of course! I have no idea what paper it is..just one of those paper mat stacks..the cover fell off so long ago, but I am guessing it's DCWV. I just realized today those are the perfect size stacks to fit the large scallop..bonus for me..It only took a few years.

Well I wish everyone a happy and safe weekend and hope you can make it back tomorrow for the next super Saturday sketch!
