Welcome Baby

This is another baby card; this one is also gender-neutral, using the colours in the designer paper for the theme. The paper was so cute I wanted to show as much as I could.

Inside I made a pop - up card using dies. decorating with die baby elements.

 Thanks for looking.

Welcome Little One

I was asked if I had any baby cards, which of course I didn't have so I made a couple for my stash of cards. I made this one a gender-neutral card.  Using the colours of the designer paper for the palate. 

On the front I have used the stamp image and made the inside with pop up dies. 

 Thanks for looking.

Celebrating a Baby boy

I made this card recently for the arrival of my grandson. 

I went stash diving for all of the supplies. I really liked the designer paper and wanted to showcase it so I have just put a few small embellishments on the front.

One the inside I made a pop up platform for all the baby images. I stamped and coloured all the babies and cut them to fit into one inch squares. 

Thanks for looking.

 

New Miracle

I made this card with the much awaited, miracle arrival of a baby girl, in mind. I just love this stamp set with the wonderful sentiment from Altenew. On the inside I made the fun pop-up sentiment with the die set, paper frames pop-up from Karen Buniston Designs

 Thanks for looking today.

Baby Shower

Today I am sharing the card that I made for my daughter's baby shower, and yes, we are expecting a little pink bundle later in the year.

I used this Mo Manning rubber stamp, that I have had for some time, it is a favourite of mine for making baby cards.

Inside I used dies from Karen Burniston, the parcel pop-up and baby charms. As you open the card the charms rise up out of the box as you open it.

 Thanks for looking today.

New Life

Hi Crafting friends.

It is time for the first challenge of the new year with the design team on CCEE Stampers blog.

I made the inside of this card with the Karen Burniston's  1183 - Little Labels pop-up die set. and the 1086 - Baby Charms set. I also used the 1186- Boarder blends - trims 1184 - Labels - Crosshatch for decoration.

On the front of the card I included some die cut elements with designer paper background.

Sweet Baby

Hi Crafting Friends,

It is week 3 on the Crazy4Challenges blog and that means it is time for a sketch challenge.

I was recently asked to make a welcome baby card, for a couple who were having a baby and liked pugs.

I didn't have any stamps of pugs, so I search clip art for my pug images. I created the inside of my card with the Karen Burniston photo collage pop-up. And added die cut words as embellishment.

Swing side to side baby

My card today is made for a challenge that I do with friends, so that we use our supplies each month. This month our challenge was to make a swing card.

I have used the My Favorite Things interactive swing die for my swing element and added the Gerda Steiner designs stamp set Hello Little one. 

When you tilt the card the baby swings side to side.

Lever action card

This is my card for todays challenge with the CCEE Stampers team.

I love interactive cards and my challenge today was to create a lever card using dies or a ruler for scoring and craft knife.

It has been quite some time since I have made a lever card, the design has been around for quite awhile. I used a die to get the measurement for the lever window. And used one of my old My Favorite Things boarder dies for embellishments.

Because of the dimension created with the internal square, this card is great as a stand alone card and for displaying upright.

A year in review

Looking back over the year to see what you have created can be interesting. Some months it was hard to choose just the one card and others their wasn't a choice. I have narrowed it down to 13 and it wasn't surprising to find that they mostly interactive.

Baby Tag Book

Welcome to this weeks challenge with the CCEE Stampers team.

Baby - Create a card using baby as your inspiration, example: new baby, baby shower, grand baby, baby animals or even just a baby sized card.

For my card I have used the picket fence Jungle babies stamp set.

For the inside of my card I used Karen Burniston's Tag Book Pop-up die set. Instead of making a tag book, I added it to the inside of a card. I have seen a few of the design team use this technique for their cards so I thought I would give it a try.

I love the way this has turned out, an unexpected surprise when you open the card.

Here is the side view of the center pop up tag.

Cute little Bunny

Welcome to this months challenge with the CCEE team.

Please use a fun fold of your choice....one may be  your "go to" fold, or you may want to try something new.  That's what I decided to do.  I love easel cards and found a tutorial on You Tube to make a "Double Twisted Easel" card.  Pretty easy and unique.

For my fun fold card today, I chose to use the twist panel pop up die set.

My card was decorated with images and papers that came free in a magazine.

Here is just another image of the card opened fully.

Supplies:
Karen Burniston dies The Twisted Panel pop-up set.
Make special cards issue 10 - free stamps, die cuts and designer papers
