Sweet Sunday Sketch

I followed the sketch below for the top image. I love the card and planned on keeping it that way but I got more requests for Mother's Day cards so I turned this into one.

I used The Stamping Boutique's Audrey with hearts in her apron digital stamp. I colored her with Copics and added Stickles to the hearts. The sentiment is Sweet N Sassy.

GDT Cangrats Baby Card

I am guest designing for Card Mania this month. The challenge this week is embossing. I am using an image from our sponsor Sassy Studio Designs.

 Here is a cute baby congrats card for a mommy to be that came out super cute.

This image is so cute.I colored her with Copics. I cut her out with my Spellbinders and added a lacy oval behind her to make her pop.

I embossed the pink cardstock with hands and feet. I used my buffing block to back it stand out a bit more. The charm says its a girl. The sentiment is a Jaded Blossom Simple Saying set.

Baby Shower Items

 I co-hosted a baby shower for a friend and wanted to share what I made. This are the gift bags for the prizes.

I used my Cricut 9 Months cartridge for the onesies. I added some dots with my gel pen. I used a variety of pink and purple papers that I found in single sheets and in paper packs.

I added a lot of curly ribbon to everything. The roll I bought had a ton and I wanted to use as much as I could.

These are the thank you for coming gifts. They were the biggest hit because people could not believe I stamped every kiss. I tried to jazz up the plain basket the best I could. The sign I used Bugaboo images.

 I used a Jaded Blossom die to cut out the toppers and Jaded Blossom candy stamps for the bottoms. I used a couple different sets. The baby one and some other thank you stamp.

 I added some baby confetti to them since that was in the invitation.

 The babies room is light purple so I found a matching elephant to give her. This is my gift bag for the babies gift.

 I used larger onesies and embossed them. More ribbon!

  I added the gel pen dots again and used a brad in the center.

IS Girly Congrats

 It doesnt get much girlier than this! I used Bazzill Vintage Marketplace paper pack for the DP. I used s sentiment from Inspired Stamps Perfect Sentiments for the congratulations.

Hymn Girl June is such a cute image. I stamped her twice. Once in pink then green on top. Then I hand cut her out. I like to use a nail file around the hand cutting to smooth it out. I added a little twine but thats it. I like to donate cards to OWH so off to the soldiers this one goes.

Riley CAS

It has been awhile since I played with my Riley stamps. I saw the clean and simple challenge this week and thought I would join in. This card is just that. I added some shimmery green paper that I had in my scrap collection onto this patterned card. Riley is colored with Copics. I added a Sweet N Sassy sentiment that goes well with this cutie. I embossed a small piece of the green paper which look so good on here. Added a few metal embellishment and there you have it. I am sending this one in to OWH. Hopefully it will make someone smile.

Mojo Scraps Card

I love playing along with Mojo Monday so I made a quick card with this weeks sketch. I used a Pink by Design sentiment. The gold paper looks good in the middle. It was in my scrap pile along with the blue, white and brown strip. I have way too many scraps and keep them in a basket close by so I will use them up, I hate to throw away paper. Adding a few metal elements and the pearl in teh middle of the flower helped give the card a little more wow factor.  Since this card is going to OWH I tried to keep it flat and glitter free. So hard for me :)

This cute fairy is The Stamping Boutique's Birthday Fairy I colored her with Copics and added Stickles to the cupcake, head dress and wings for a little sparkle.

This sentiment is from a set I bought at Michaels the other day from Stampedous. I used a circle punch to cut it out and inked the edges.

Inky Recycle Super Girl Card

Inky Impressions challenge this week is recycle, use something you wouldn't normally use on a card. 

 It took me awhile to come up with an idea. Then I saw the index cards in my drawer and thought, cute background paper. So I took a hot pink index card and use a border punch on the top then embossed it.

I used Super Girl Lili. I colored her with Copics. I would love to add glitter but this beauty is going to Operation Write Home. I home this super girl reminds someone of somebody they love.
The sentiment is Jaded Blossom.
