Fun Fold Baby Card

This past weekend I was feel adventurous and looking for some Fun Fold card ideas when I came across this one from Lisa Curcio from last summer!  This was so easy to make and Lisa has a very easy to follow video on her page.

Her card was for a little boy, so I had to find my colors and patterns to go with a little girl.  The frit one I made was the Grapefruit Grove, but I felt it was too much Grapefruit Grove, so I made a second one using Blushing Bride.  Like I said, they are very easy to make!

Recipe:

The Card:
Blushing Bride - 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Line up the folded edge of the cardstock on your trimmer at 1 1/4".  Cut down to the 1 1/2" mark.  
Flip the cardstock over and repeat on the other side.
Connect the two lower cut lines to create the top opening of the overalls

The Straps:
Blushing Bride - 1 1/4" x 2 1/4" - Cut Two
Use the Detailed Trio Punch to round the bottom corners of the two straps

The Pocket:
I used the 2018-2020 In Color Designer Series Paper - 1 3/4" x 1 3/4"
Trim the bottom edges to form a pocket.  I just used by scissors but you could also use the Tailored Tag Punch.

Run the front of the card and the strap pieces through the Big Shot with your embossing folder of choice.  I used Quilt Top and did my best on the 2nd card (the Blushing Bride) to line the straps up in the same place as they were for the main card so they lined up nicely.

Stamps - Sweet Baby Bundle - 
Stamp the baby and appropriate headgear for your baby choice (boy or girl) and color with Stampin Blends then cut with matching dies.  THIS SET IS RETIRING - so be sure to grab it before it's gone!

I attached the baby to the inside of the pocket - oh and remember - you don't have to color all of the baby, just the part that will be sticking out.  Pop the pocket up with Stampin' dimensionals.

Isn't this just adorable!?  Thank You Lisa for such a cute project and great details.

Thank you all for checking in today.  Be sure to take a minute and say hello.  I love to see your comments!

The Bunny Is Back!

Remember the bunny announcing "it's a girl!"?  Well, here is the "boy" version.  To see the first edition, check HERE.

I just love this darling bunny.  Although, I'm working on a project now that's requiring cutting this little darlin' out, so I may feel differently when I'm finished fussy cutting - LOL!

 

Recipe: 

Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4" - Coastal Cabana
Whisper White 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"
DSP 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White 2 1/2" x 4 1/2"
Coastal Cabana 2 7/8" x 4 7/8"

No Pink Elephants...

How about a pink giraffe instead?  Her bow is a bit big, but oh my goodness, the ribbon used here is so soft and fun to play with!  You simply have to try it!

 

The ribbon is our new 1/4" Cotton Ribbon.  It is smooth and so soft and easy to work with.

New Grandma with a Convertible

We have a new Grandma at the office!  Perfect time to play with my new Something for Baby stamps and Framelits. 

 

I saw the idea of cutting up the DSP for the background and loved it, so I decided to play with it on this card.  I cut in one inch from each side of a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of DSP and then pieced it back together on Crisp Canteloupe.



 

 

On the inside I stamped the Sweet Girl stamp from Baby, We've Grown.  I like to put something inside, especially when I don't have a sentiment I'm using inside.

 



Thank you for looking in today!  I hope you like what you see and come back again for more!

Baby, They Multiply

There's a Baby Sprinkle this weekend... What's that you say?  Well, I wondered the same thing and then I found out and I think it's adorable!  A friend is having her second baby later this year and since she has the basic baby things so she doesn't need a "full blown baby shower", she just needs a sprinkling of things.  Isn't that cute?

So, here's the card for the party.  In case you couldn't tell, a baby boy is expected.

I just love these adorable bunnies from Baby, We've Grown out of the Occasions Mini.

Stamps Well With Others Recipe:

Card Stock:  Midnight Muse, Pool Party, Basic Black, Very Vanilla
Stamps:  Baby, We've Grown (w-133086 / c-133089)
Ink:  Soft Suede, Midnight Muse, Pool Party, Marina Mist, Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake
Embossing Folder:  Sale-a-Brations - Decorative Dots.

Thanks for looking in today.  Have a fabulous Thursday!

It's a Boy... and a Girl!

First let me wish you a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving filled with family and friends.  Remember to count your blessings and be thankful for what you have in your life.

A co-worker has two new things to be thankful for!  TWINS!!!

It's a Boy and It's a Girl~  We have two new babies in our office family and they both came at the same time!  

I just threw this card together very quickly, but I do like how it turned out.

Do you recognize the little overalls and dress?  YES, it's the Owl Builder Punch.  I think that the Owl Builder Punch has simply ENDLESS possibilities!  This is one of the easiest ones, just punch out in Pirouette Pink for the girl and Soft Sky for the boy, then snip a little in the middle to make the outfit into "shorts".  I added little snippets for straps to be able to "hang" them on the line.

Stamps Well With Others Recipe:

Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Soft Sky
Ink:  Pink Pirouette, Soft Sky
Stamps:  A Dozen Thoughts (w-131056 / c-131059)
Tools:  Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder (117335), Clouds embossing folder (drats, it's retired! - need to put a sticker on that one!  Sorry!), Owl Builder Punch (118074), Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246).

Welcome Baby

I just realized I didn't have a post for Friday, guess I spent more time preparing for my Friday Stamp-a-Stack than I thought!  Sorry kids!  

So, after Stamp-a-Stack on Friday, Linda stayed around for a bit and helped me with some cards for my "card project" I'm working on.  She made 2 for boys and 2 for girls.  I think they are both adorable.  Tell me what you think.  As I see cards I want to CASE I save them for creative time and these two cards were really very quick and simple to do.  These were from Marla Reed.  Thanks Marla for the great idea!

Thanks Linda for staying, it was fun spending stamping time together and getting some great cards created!

Brittney's Workshop

Saturday we had a great gathering for Brittney's workshop.  I'd say it was very successful and Brittney's friends helped her reach her goal of earning a Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine!  Woo Hoo!  Thanks ladies, it was great having you over to the house for some stamping fun.

Above we have (l - r around the table) Brittney, Berta, Kristi and Mary.  They all know when I have my camera anymore and won't look up... I'm going to have to get creative.

Here we have (l-r again) Marie, Barbie, Mary and Melanie.  This was Melanie's first time at a workshop!

Can you say Wish List?  This one is pretty big and it even goes over to the back side!

And last but not least, Brittney' furbaby, Maggie.  Brit couldn't move without the white one following her everywhere!  She's a good dog though and makes a good foot warmer in the winter.

Today's projects are below.  We made the card on the right with Chocolate Chip rather than the one with Rich Razzleberry.  I like them both though.

We also made this adorable baby bottle card.  I posted this in an early blog post, but wanted to post it here too as today's project.

Thanks for looking in.  Hope you had a fabulous weekend.

Hello Baby

I find myself amazed everyday by the creativity that I see in the Stampin' Up Community.  Thank goodness other people's creativity lights a fire under me to attempt their projects and ultimately come up with my own creations with a twist from theirs.

So, I saw this adorable idea on SplitcoastStampers for a baby girl card and I knew I simply had to give it a whirl.  Boys seem to be the most frequent baby arrival among most of the people we know lately, so I decided to make it a "boy" card.  (I'm sorry the stockings are bit washed out, this was the best picture I could get.)

Recipe for this card:  
Paper:  Bashful Blue and Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White card stock and Nursery Nest DSP;
Stamps:  Stitched Stockings (w-123782 /c-123784 - available September 1st in the Holiday Mini), Teeny Tiny Wishes (wood only -115370)
Inks:  Bashful Blue and Marina Mist
Accessories: 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon Whisper White (109070) and Bakers Twine White (124262); Soft Subtles Buttons (retired from a special set).
Cool Tools:  Lace Border Punch (122362) and Stocking Builder Punch (124095 available September 1st); Word Window Punch (119857) and Modern Label Punch (119849).

I can see a lot of this card being made - it's just so cute, who could pass it up??

Have a great day... The week is half way over!!!
