Oh Baby

The July Stock Your Stash Challenge at Reverse Confetti is .... Oh Baby!

 

The Reverse Confetti Cute as a Button is my most used stamp set for baby cards ... I just love those onesies.  This time the onesie is stamped in Ranger Archival Garden Patina on Yellow cardstock.

 

The base of the card is one of my alcohol ink experiments on glossy cardstock.  The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti Fancy Word Coordinates.  I finished with a scattering of enamel hearts.  

 

The layout is this week's Freshly Made Sketch.

Makeover Monday - Hawkeye Baby Card

For today's Makeover Monday I'm doing a Congratulations Card for the Stock Your Stash Challenge at Reverse Confetti.  

 

I went all the way back to October 2016 for this cutie as my inspiration.

 

I decided to keep the layout and change-up the colors to use the hues from the Just Us Girls Color Week Challenge ... they might seem like odd colors for a baby card, but if you live near the University of Iowa, you know those are Hawkeye Colors, so they are just perfect.

 

I combined both metallic gold and the color gold for my design starting with a piece of Black and Metallic gold designer paper from a Christmas Collection with two other golden scraps of paper in my scrap box.

 

The adorable Reverse Confetti Onesie from Cute as a Button in Wendy Vecchi Ranger Archival Buttercup Ink.  I added some enamel hearts and dots for accents and finished with the typewriter congratulations sentiment from Reverse Confetti Fancy Words Coordinates.

The perfect baby card for a future Iowa Hawkeye.

New Little Bundle

My goal at the annual Art Camp Lauren & I had in the fall, my plan was to go home with lots of Gel Press Prints I could use on cards.  In past years I had made lots of fun prints, but the using the large Gel Press the scale was off for smaller card making.  I am glad to say I succeeded and have had a lot of fun incorporating this last round of prints into my designs.

The current challenge at the Unity Stamp Company is New Beginnings ... since I needed a baby card for my stash, I inked-up the never-before-used Bundle Congrats Itty Bitty.

 

I stamped them on a light blue cardstock panel that coordinated with my Gel Press Print background and then paper pieced the clouds and used a red marker on the hearts.  That font is so itty bitty it's almost hard to read (at least for these old eyes).  I was afraid to stamp it more than once or it wouldn't be legible.

I finished with a few enamel dots for texture and attached the panel with foam tape.

Baby Baby

Another baby card using the MFT Die-namics Baby Onesie Die and this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge.

 

I die cut the Die-Namics Baby Onesie from adorable Rockin' Monkey Paper from the Basic Grey Oh Boy collection and Blueprints 33 Die-namics with coordinating cardstock.

 

Sentiment is from MFT More Essential Sentiments.

Blessed

Tonight I needed a baby card, so I started with the current Paper Craft Crew Challenge Sketch.

 

I love the vintage Baby Carriage from Impression Obsession.  I didn't have any sentiment stamps that were the right proportion, so I used sentiment stickers.

 

Baby Baby

Tonight I realized I had absolutely no baby cards in my stash ... how does that happen?  So baby cards are on the creative agenda.

I started with Taylored Expressions Bubble Greetings - Baby.  I paper-pieced the sweet little onesie.

I used the Stitched Journaling Card Die from Lawn Fawn for the DiesRUs Challenge.  The tiny typed sentiment is from Memory Box Big and Little Words with some Valentine's Day Designer Papers (perfect for tiny little girl cards).

I'm also linking-up at the Simon Says Stamp Think Pink Challenge.

Oh, Baby!

The theme for the July Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash Challenge is Oh, Baby!

 

I pulled out my favorite baby stamp set - Cute as a Button and a sentiment from Congratulations.  I added some fun little baby buttons to finish the design.

 

The colors are from the CAS Colour Challenge.

 

The layout is the Fab Friday Sketch.

 

Baby Baby

I needed a congratulations card for a new Grandma of twins.  I went to my favorite Reverse Confetti Cute as a Button stamp set for the win.

 

 

The layout is from Feeling Sketchy, sentiment is from Reverse Confetti Posted Note Sentiments & the papers are from Reverse Confetti Pattern Play.

 

Embrace the Journey

The theme at the Impression Obsession Challenge is Feathered Friends.

 

 

I thought about some penguins ... but settled on a stork to add to my baby card stash.  I stamped the Impression Obsession Stork in gray and then built my card around him using a paper from My Mind's Eye Cut & Paste - Flair.

 

The sentiment is from Impression Obsession Words for Art and the Sketch is this week's Freshly Made Sketch.  I really like the strip of grey cardstock on the left side of the design ... need to remember to incorporate more of that.  I repeated the circle theme of the paper with some Eyelet Outlet Enamel Dots.
