Baby card

Hi,  Today I am showing you a card I made for a friend of my husband who he plays basketball with and his wife just had a beautiful baby girl.  Baby cards can often be a little difficult as I don't have suitable baby stamp sets.  Anyway I decided to use one of my favourites, Wild about You.  I know it is retired but the animals are so nice in it.  To make it girly I have chosen to use Blushing Bride, a colour I have been trying to avoid but have fallen in love with, just a little late as it will be going at the end of August.  Have to stock up on some paper there I think.  I have only boys so I think why do I need another pink, but evidently I do.

I have used the gorgeous twitterpated dsp, the Scallop duo die and Curly Cute stamp set for the sentiment.  The ribbon is Pear Pizzazz and just lifts the card from being too pink.  The flowers are non Stampin' Up! and are just from my stash.

Well I hope you like it and hopefully suitable for a baby girl.

Thanks for visiting.

Wild About You

Hi,  Hope all is well.  I have had a busy week with everything going back to the normal routine.  And I have had time to make a few cards.  Well maybe some other things just didn't get done but sometimes you have to just do something for yourself and I needed some birthday cards made so it was the perfect excuse.

My six year old had a twins birthday party on the weekend so I wanted to make two different cards but which were also similar (didn't want one to think one was better than the other).  I decided to use the Wild About You stamp set from Stampin' Up! which has retired, but is a favourite of mine.  I ended up making four cards while I was on a roll, so I thought I would share all of them with you.  I have listed the colours next to them if you are interested.  The Happy Birthday stamp is from Punch Bunch which was from this year's Sale-a-bration.

Colours used:
Real Red, Old Olive, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White.
The ribbon is non SU! from my stash.

Colours used:
Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss (retired), Real Red, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip.

Colours used:
Whisper White, Marina Mist, Real Red, Old Olive.
The marina mist stripe is embossed with the square lattice embossing folder.

Colours used:
Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Tempting Turquoise.
The ribbon is non SU! from my stash but looks like pumpkin pie.




I am not sure which is my favourite but we gave the twins the Crocodile and Lion.

Enjoy the rest of the day.

Thanks for visiting.
