New Arrival Olivia Maeve

Hi All

One of my neighbours has just had a beautiful baby girl.  I made a card to commemorate her birth and also a quick card for big sister Tilly.  I hope you like them.

I matted some patterned papers from my stash onto pale pink pearlescent card stock.

The bottom layer was made to fit a 6 x 6 card and the the two smaller layers were added in a haphazard style onto the card.  

I coloured onto an MDF baby girl that I bought from CleverCut using Copics and attached this to a piece of the pearlescent card stock and attached to the card front.

I stamped A Special Delivery Calendar which I bought a few years ago from Pink Gem Designs, as it was so long ago I'm not sure if it is still available. I cut this out using a circle punch and cut a slightly larger mat again using a circle punch from the pearlescent card stock and attached to the front of the card using foam tape.

 Buttons were added to two corners and a third to the spine using pink and white bakers twine.

I finally added the name by handwriting onto MDF tags from CleverCut which I attached with bakers twine, but I also glued them down to keep them in place.  

This is the box lid for Olivia's card.  I matted some more of the patterned paper onto the pink pearlescent card stock over the whole lid.

I stamped the Baby Girl sentiment using a set of stamps from Buzzcraft, I'm not sure where I bought them from but they are item no 466 which is a Birth/Christening set. Again this was matted on the pearlescent card and added at a jaunty angle to the middle of the box lid.

This is the card I made for Olivia's big sister Tilly.

I used the Stamp and Scratch Congratulation set from Stamps By Me Ltd.  

The main image was stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured using Copics.

I matted this onto lilac card and and rounded two opposite corners but left the other two square and added gems to these.

I matted an A5 card using two different patterned papers from my stash and covered the join with some pink lace. 

I stamped the sentiment on the top section of the card, and added gems to all 4 corners.  

I wrote 'Big Sister' in the balloon and covered this with a scratch off sticker.

I then attached the main image using foam tape.

Thanks for popping in.

Lots of Love

Cheers

Triplets

Hi All

I was recently asked to make a card for the birth of a set of Triplets.  This is what I came up with, I hope you all like it.

I used the Stamp and Scratch Congratulation set from Stamps by me Ltd.

I stamped the complete image once using Tuxedo Black Momento Ink and cut it out,

I then stamped the balloon portion of the stamp again using the same ink two more times and cut them out.

To make the elephant and all 3 sets of balloons fit on the card I had to cut the balloons from the complete elephant too so I could re-position them.

I coloured the images using Copics (apologies I didn't take note of the colours I used as I was playing).

I wrote the names of the three baby boys onto the balloons.  (This was a big step for me as I hate my handwrting - lol).

I matted a 6x6 card with some green polka dot paper and stamped the sentiment in the corner using Generation Inx Back to Black ink pad before mounting the elephant and the balloons onto this with foam tape.

I stamped A Special Delivery Calendar stamp from Pink Gem Designs using Generation Inx Back to Black ink pad on the same polka dot paper and cut out using a circle punch and attached to the card with foam tape.

Finally I covered the names with the Scratch off stickers.

Thanks for popping in.

Lots of Love
