B is for...

...Baby of course!

And here is a cute little baby card made using the Alphabet Occasions stamp set that I am offering as a prize in my January draw, just place an order with me during the month of January to be in with a chance of winning (details here).  

The card is a Bashful Blue base, and I have adhered a panel of Very Vanilla which has been embossed with the Square Lattice embossing folder using the Big Shot machine.

The DSP is from the lovely Patio Party paper pack and then I have added the cute little baby from the Happy You stamp set (hostess only) without the sentiment and punched this out with the Curly Label Punch. The border was created from 2 Curly Label punch shapes cut form Bashful Blue card...

...finally a button from the Naturals Designer Buttons pack to finish, tied with linen thread.  I always like buttons on baby and cards for men, what do you think?

I would love to see some other ideas using my favourite Alphabet Occasions stamp set, there are so many choices for these lovely sentiments. I just love 'em!

Peek-a-boo baby card

Phew what a weekend... I'm knackered!

 

Saturday was a crafting day and yesterday was a day of walking in the rain.  Today I'm back in the world of work... and fortunately at home for the day, but up to Cambridge tomorrow.

 

So today I have a commission to share with you for a a friend/colleague, and I'm really excited because I got to play with my new Occasions Alphabet stamps again :). 

 

You will see that the card features one of the stamps from a hostess set in the main catalogue, Happy You. 

I've cut a piece of Bashful Blue with the Perfect Pennants die on my Big Shot machine and then also cut a Whisper White piece and trimmed off the border before stamping the image in the centre.  I've used a blender pen with Stampin' Write markers to colour the cute little baby.

 

The base is Crumbcake and I've stamped the lettering from the Occasions Alphabet stamp set inked with a Marina Mist Stampin' Write marker and then punched out with a 1/2 inch circle and mounted on a 3/4 inche circle of Bashful Blue.

 

Finally some lengths of Whisper White grosgrain ribbon on the bottom and a sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set... and voila.
