Baby cards

Hi friends, just another quick post again. I should be leaving comments for you all, I will do as  soon as I have finished this post.         We have a dusting of snow today, hope it goes quickly. Stay safe and warm everyone ;)         As I had babies on my mind all day yesterday I decided to make two baby cards. It was a  very long  day, we were waiting to find out  the sex of  our 4th (and probably last)  grandbaby.         We only found out very late afternoon, so by then all my nails were chewed down.....well not really but you know what I mean.         It has made us all very happy as we now know it is a ......................girl !!!!! All tests say everything is fine with mother  and baby too which is THE most important  thing of course ;)         My DIL esp. is ecstatic lol. She has always  wanted a girl ( although she is crazy about her  boy  as we all are). So they will have one of each now just like my other son and DIL.        How clever is that & how happy we all  are  too ;) So Alexander will soon have a sister, he said  it was a girl all along........he must have known ;)       We all thought it was a boy !!!!       Anyway sorry about my rambling yet again, ( you can probably sense how excited I am ) lol.....more PINK !!!       Come and have a closer look at my two  baby cards.      

        I used an old digi I printed out ages ago, I think  it's a DSB one ? The gingham was also from spare card I found in a box.    Sorry no idea where from now.I had never used  it before. Oooh NBUS Darnell would be proud  lol ! I used Promarkers and Flexmarkers to  colour.   The sentiment is a Woodware clear magic stamp.

Baby boy 'Stork' card

Hi everyone, late posting my latest 'Less is More' card today. We have been to see my grandson  Alexander and just got back tonight. The theme this time is.....     "New Baby"     I CASed one of my earlier cards but this time here is the blue version :) I used a stamp from a set by Lindsay Mason Designs called 'Little Baby'.Coloured with Promarkers, the sentiment was computer generated.         I used some Glamour dust on the baby too, a strip of blue gingham completed the card I used an old Cuttlebug embossing folder, I don't think it's available now though. A few people have asked me about it.       There is a  similar one I believe as a friend tracked it  down. Not sure where from though. I think the original  was called 'snowflake dots'........HTH     Enjoy your weekend !        

 

Baby's bib card

Here is my third and final card for  this week's  'Less is More' challenge. It's week 68  and we have to make a card suitable for  a Baby or a Child. I made a square card then cut a section out at the top. Then I made a 'bib' using my nesties .Two layers, one was embossed with the tiny hearts folder.I attached two white satin ribbons. Sentiment from the cute elephant set ?? ( Pink petticoat), an old one btw. I shaped the sentiment matt and added a touch of blue around the edge. A little cute duck stamp was added to the top part, (tiny old cheap stamp). A bit of glamour dust around the bib and the duck completes this card.I thinkthis is more LIM than the other cards I made this week too,I hope you like it :)ps. Summer has arrived and the sun is shining at long last, I am going outside to have a quick sunbathe :)

New baby cards

I made the first card for my lovely niece who has just had a
 little boy called Benjamin.I used a cute TEDDYBOBEA_87
 digi image,from the teddybo.com site, look under bits and bobs
 store there.(I  added more details after people asked me where
 it was from).
Image coloured with Copics and Promarkers.I precoloured the
 image apart from the bow & head piece so I only had to add
either blue or pink to it when the baby arrived. I added a bit
of embossing, pearls and some cute baby shoes too.
The second card was for her parents who are now grandparents
for the first time. I made the card similar to the first one but without
the embossing and the baby shoes. I added a leaf swirl too,
( Marianne creatable).Both cards are A5 size for a change too btw.
Hope you like them, I do love making baby cards :)
A very big welcome to all my latest followers . May I just also
add how touched I have been for all the support from you lovely
ladies over my recent troubles, you are all amazing....thankyou !

Baby cards

It's week 64 over at 'Less is More' & it's a theme
this time, which is......
                           How Charming
We have to make and/or use a charm on  our project.
I decided to make & enter two baby cards. I need one for my neice
who is expecting her baby any day now. No idea if it's a boy
or girl as they wanted it to be a surprise so I made two cards.
I will probably make another larger card with their names
or the baby's name etc.but I have a choice now at least. I was in
 need of spare baby ones anyway so these will come in  handy
 at some point I am sure.
Both cards are made using a Pink Petticoat image. It's a sweet babyelephant which I have had for a while now.
The first card is a girl's card coloured in my fav pink again lol. I used
Copics to colour the image and added some glamour dust and
 chalked the edge of the nestie too. A tiny hearts cuttled matt layer
behind it and a pink satin ribbon also. I added a cute 'tiny feet' charm I
have had for ages, I love it for baby cards.
The second card was made the same way except I used a labels two
nestie to cut the main image and a square nestie matt under that one.  A
sweet 'baby pram' charm & an organza ribbon complete the card.
I am so lucky to have a choice of  quite a few charms as I make bookmarks
with them on. I have so many now as I just cannot resist them lol.What
a great surprise when I looked at the LIM challenge this week, I was a
 very happy bunny  :)
We are off to see my first grandson tomorrow , saw my 2nd grandson two days ago
& had a long cuddle. We are also babysitting for both of them soon.... happy days !!!!
ps. Oh oh I just looked on the ribbon girl site..............now I NEED more
'stuff' !!!!....... sighs.
