Baby Carriage Gift Bag

Hello all My Crafty Friends!!

I have a cute little baby

gift bag to share with you today.

 I started with a kraft gift bag.

The next layer is a piece of ivory cardstock

that I inked with TH Distress Ink

in Fired Brick and Scattered Straw.

The next layer is a piece of 6x6 paper

from My Mind's Eye "Playdate" stack.

Not sure what pack the red paper is from,

but I cut this doily using my new

We R Memory Keepers

Lucky 8 Punch.

The top layer is my adorable baby in the buggy cute

from Simply Charmed.  I have embossed it, and

added a cute little Peachy Keen Face, I believe

it is from Wide Eyed Kids.

I cut these last year for a swap, and have never

used it.  I have about 8 of them so you may

see this image again!!

I mounted the baby buggy on an action wobble.

I added some buttons from October Afternoon

accented with Twine.  I also added some pearl flourishes

from Want 2 Scrap.  The ribbon at the top is

from 3 Girl Jam and the trim at the bottom is

from Webster's Pages.

Spring Card Set

WARNING!!!

This is going to be a very picture heavy post!!

First off, I want to thank everyone for

wishing my Sweet Pea a Happy Birthday!!

Here is a funny picture of her not

looking too happy to share her birthday

cake with her sister Jasmine!!

So, on to my cards.  I recently purchased a great

little card kit from Archiver's Annex.

It came with the Tim Holtz Easter Blueprint

stamps that I have seen elsewhere for $20.00

for the stamps alone.  The card kit was $20.00

and it included the stamps, some cardstock,

tags, a bottle of Stickles, a 6x6 MME paper

pack and a roll of Jute string!!

What a great deal!!  Here is the set of cards I made.

In all these pictures is is hard to see the card base,

but I cut them all at 4x4 from the brown cardstock

that was included in the kit.  The pattern papers

are from the paper pack included as well as

my scrap box.  I used a variety of products on

all the cards, I will list them at the bottom.

 On this card I used Twine &

Turquoise and Lime Green Stickles

 

  On this card I used the Jute String, 

Want 2 Scrap Bling &

Magenta and Cherry Ice Stickles

For this card I used Glitter Tulle, Want 2 Scrap

Bling and Lagoon Stickles

These next two cards are the first ones I made

and they do not include and dry embossing.

I used Webster's Pages Trim, Recollections

Bling and Yellow Stickles on this one.

I loved the butterfly so much, I used it twice!!

This card has sheer ribbon, Recollentions Bling

and Lime Green Stickles

Materials:

Tim Holtz Easter Blueprint Stamps

Various Spellbinders Dies

Various colors of

Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Various Sizzix and

Cuttlebug Embossing Folders

 her as her birthday!!  I cannot believe that she has

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!

 

Ok, on to my project for today :)

I made two cards for the

Peachy Keen Anything Goes Challenge

and

My Craft Spot - Sweet Baby Challenge

 

I made identical baby boy and baby girl cards.

 

 

I started with a sheet of kraft cardstock that I cut

in half to make my 2 A2 sized cards.

The pattern paper is from a 6x6

My Mind's Eye paper pack called

Sweetest Thing.

The next layer is a Spellbinders Label 11.

I've embossed it using a Sizzix

folder called Phrase, Baby.

My sweet babies are a combination.

The bodies are cut at 3" from Baby Steps.

The head and faces are from

Peachy Keen's March SOTM.

I have inked everthing up with

Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen,

Broken China and Worn Lipstick.

 

I added a little chalk and freckles to their cheeks.

I have also added just a bit of Stickles

around the edge of  their bonnets in

Cotton Candy and Baby Blue.

I used my 3 Girl Jam Bow maker to tie

some double bows using My Craft Spot

crinkle ribbon in Petal Pink and Sky Blue.

The tags are from the Tiny Tags Stamps and Dies

from My Craft Spot.

 

I now have 2 cards ready for the next baby shower!!

Everyone have a great weekend!!



 

Bunny Tag

Happy Thursday!!

The weekend is almost here

and we are having such beautiful

weather in So. California!!

It is sunny and 80 degrees!!

I made a fun little tag for a few challenges.

I cut this tag from the

My Creative Time Tag Dies

The pink piece was another one of my extra cuts.

I beleive it is from Elegant Edges.

I embossed the pink piece with a Sizzix Flowers

and Vines folder. The Bunny is another extra cut.

When I made my Got Eggs?? card, I had

cut the bunny from Birthday Bash in 3" and 2.5"

I used the 3" on the card so I had this

extra one and used it on this tag.

Her cute little face is from Peachy Keens

Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed stamp set.

I added a flower that was wrapped

around a package of ribbon

I got from Little Scrap Pieces.

I added some white stiching and pink chalk.

The sentiment is from

My Creative Time - To My Best Peep

stamp set and the tag is the Stiched Oval Die.

I added 2 buttons from the Stiched Button Dies

and I covered them with glossy accents.

I added some crinkle ribbon from

My Craft Spot & Prairie Bird Boutique

And the trim at the bottom is from Webster's Pages

I will be entering in the following challenges:

Got Eggs??

Hello and Happy Saturday!!

I have a funny little card to share with you today.

 

The scalloped card base was in my extra cuts

drawer, so sorry not sure what cart that is from!!

I cut the cute little bunny at 3" from

 Birthday Bash. His little face if from the

Peachy Keen Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed.

He is getting ready to take a bite

out of the blue egg!!

He is on an Action Wobble.

 The eggs were cut from a new Hero Arts

Stamp and Cut set I order from Archiver's.

All the egg faces were stamped from

the Peachy Keen Piles of Smiles Stamp Set.

 I cut the banner from My Creative Time

Just Simply Stamp & Die St

The sentiment is from the

To My Best Peep Stamp Set 

I added some stiching to all

the die cuts with a

white gelly roll pen.

All the paper was from my scrap box.

I added a little ribbon, some twine

and a homemade stick pin.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Hello - Bird

Ok, so here is my 2nd post for the day!!

I don't know about you, but I have

a drawer full of extra die cuts.

When I am short on time,

I like to look through my drawer

to see if there is anything I can

use for the project I am working on.

I had this window card already

cut out from Don Juan, I beleive it is cut at 6".

It was already embossed using a folder from Cindy Loo.

I thought it would be perfect to use

with the Spellbinders

Bird Sanctuary Die!!

I love the colors!!

I inked the embossed areas of the diecuts

and then went over them with Glitter Gel Pens.

I added some ribbon and a

homemade stick pin.

I finished it off with a tag and sentiment from

My Creative Time Chunky Jar Accessories Set

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

DL Art Thankful Thursday - Birds

FCCB - Bye Bye Birdie

Celebrate - Stars

Hello to all my crafty friends.

This will be the first of 2 posts today.

I got to work on some projects

yesterday for a couple of challenges.

My first project is a simple little

card I did for the

Peachy Keen - Oh My Stars Challenge

I know it is only March, but I had these cute

little stars already cut out from a previous project.

I believe they are from the Baby Steps cartridge.

My card is cut out using the My Creative Time

3x3 Trifold Card die. I first cut it out in

the dark blue paper, and then again with

the PP paper from Best Creations.

The cute little face is from the

Peachy Keen July SOTM set.

I added this little tag and sentiment using the

 My Creative Time Chunky Jar Accesories Set.

I tied it on with Midnight Blue and

Maraschino twine from Trendy Twine.
