Stampin up all for baby cards

Pale Papaya, one of Stampin' Up!'s new In Colors, is a lovely pastel colour to use for a baby card. For today's card, I teamed Pale Papaya with Crumb Cake and Basic White. The dotty background paper, from the Hand-Penned Petals Designer Series Paper pack, has been sponged around the edges in Crumb Cake ink. I stamped the teddy in Crumb Cake ink (making sure first that my inkpad wasn't too juicy). After die-cutting the bear, I placed him on a Basic White Scalloped Contours die cut, that had…

Two new babies arrived this past week, one the son of some friends and the other the daughter of the folks who live a few houses away in our neighbourhood. This seems to have been a year for babie…

It's wonderful to be in my 70's and still have friends who are having babies! Lillian Marie arrived 6/30/21 at 5:30 AM. This is their first baby and I can't wait to meet their li'l Lil! So, here's the card I created for them using the All for Baby Stamp Set and matching Baby Clothes Dies. This is a new, never-before-used set so I'm entering my card at NBUS #28 Challenge. Thank you, Beth McCullough and Steve, for your inspiration! It was fun being involved in creating your card on FB Live…

As soon as I saw this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches (a large curve along one side of the sketch), I knew I'd be using the Basic Borders Dies to build a sweet card. As I reached for the All About Baby Bundle to add some sweet baby clothes

Tonight I am taking part in a weekly Colour Creations blog hop, with some Stampin' Up! friends. This week the colour we are focussing on, in our creations, is Blushing Bride. I have made a baby card, with lots of texture and sweet details ... and, surprisingly, I have used no ribbon or gems! I started off with a Crumb Cake card base, and added a layer of Basic White card that I'd embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. You can see that embossed background through the…

The Little Dreamers stamp and die bundle from Stampin' Up! is pretty darn adorable! I have had a lovely time creating baby cards for my stash. Here's the first card I made: I stamped the elephant in Basic Gray ink, on Basic White card. Smoky Slate and Bubble Bath Stampin' Blends markers were used to colour the cute little fellow. I used my Color Lifter Stampin' Blends to give the impression of a little texture on the elephant. The Stylish Shapes circle on which the elephant is placed was cut…

Karen has such bright and playful colors for us this week. Dessert is DSP and I was so lucky that I could find this dsp to use. My crafting table is a MESS from a little too much coming and going so far this summer. Luckily this card just about stamped itself. The clothesline is an obvious theme of this stamp set and I mostly just plugged in the colors. The shading on the images is a feature of the stamps. I was bummed to realize that I mistakenly ordered this set without its coordinating…
