Happier Than Happy ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

Today I have a cute baby card to share with you that was inspired by Try Stampin' on Tuesday's challenge #595.

Wildly Happy ~ A Stampin' Up! Card

Today's card is inspired by Try Stampin' on Tuesday's Sketch Challenge #414.

Got You ~ A Fun Stampers Journey Card

Today's cute little card is one that I made for a baby shower at our church last Thursday.

Stampin' Up ~ Fox and Friends for Baby

I had fun making this cute baby card for my daughter's best friend who is having her first baby in June!  Yes, I know it's a retired set, but it's still my favorite go to set when I need a baby card.

Since she's chosen not to find out if she's having a boy or girl (which I think is great!), I used a group of soft colors that are perfect for either a baby boy or baby girl.

I also made it long so I could fit four different animals on the card and because the gift was going to be from a group of us I figured you needed room to sign the card, right? :)  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

I have to say I sure do miss my laptop!!  I can't believe how much easier it is to post on my blog when I can do everything from one place.  We sure are spoiled by technology aren't we...that is until it decides to crash on us! lol  Anyway today I have  a couple of cards for you that I was challenged to make by my upline.  She wanted us to try the embossed scenic background technique...at least that's what she calls it. :)  I started working on it the other night and just got frustrated since it wouldn't emboss my whole background.  I set it down and figured I was too tired and needed to work on it another time.  So I picked it up the next morning and realized I just needed to put a shim under it when I ran it through my Big Shot, so that's what I did and I was good to go again. 

As you can see I decided to make two different card using the same colors.  Since I knew I needed a baby boy card I figured the stars would be the perfect background for that.  The second card is the one I was so frustrated with.  I ran it through a second time and got color on the trees, but decided I didn't really mind the look of it and went with it.  Can you see the huge mistake that I did make on the card and didn't correct before I took the pics?  I guess I was still too tired to work on it in the morning too! lol  I'll be changing that huge mistake before I send the card out! ;)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Baby!

Oh, baby, it's Friday!  Glad another week is done.  I don't know about any of you, but January is a busy month at work for me.  Lots to do and I'm getting it done...whew!  And now on to something fun...a baby card. :)  That's what it's all about at the Friday Mashup this week.  Here's Tara's challenge for us...

Create a project with a "Baby Theme". 

Create a project  with "Brown, Aqua & Tangerine". 

or Mash it Up! and create a "Baby project with the above colors".

 I just posted a Christmas card a few weeks back and we had to use orange and blue.  I know I've said this before...they are not my favorite colors together.  Now I have to do a baby card with them! lol  Well I also said I've started to soften up toward them.  I didn't use a bright blue or orange for this challenge.  I wanted softer colors since it's for a baby card.  I do wish I had put Whisper White behind the baked brown sugar, but it was too late.  I didn't want to pull everything off and reposition it so I could cut the brown card stock smaller to fit over the white so it could be a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card.  I still think it's pretty cute the way it is. 

Be sure to head over to the Friday Mashup HERE to check out all the other fun baby cards and to play along too. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Hello, Baby

Happy Friday!  Today I have another fun card for you from the Friday Mashup challenge.  This week's challenge is from Lisa, so let's take a look...

Create a Project using "Animals". 

Create a "Shaker card" project.

or Mash it up! and create a "Shaker Card with an Animal". 

I decided to make a small baby card for a friend's daughter's baby shower and used all retired stamps for it! lol  I love the set Fox and Friends from Stampin' Up! and just can't get rid of it because it makes such cute baby cards, just wish the pic turned out better.  I'm sure some of you have a few sets out there that you just don't want to get rid of too. :)

If you've never made a shaker card here's you chance.  It's not too hard to do and the results are so cute! :)  Make sure you head over to the Friday Mashup HERE to get some inspiration from the design team and play along too.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Baby Fox & Friends

Today's card is for a baby shower at our church.  I don't have any baby stamps sets except Fox & Friends, so that's why I keep it around even though it's retired.  I've made quite a few cute baby cards with it. :)  I used this month's color and sketch challenge from Stampin' Celebration to help me out with this card even though I did fudge on some of the colors just a bit! :)

Just a couple more pics of the card. :)

RHSSC Punch Art Baby Card

It's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge post.  Yikes, it's been a week since I've posted!  Well, I'll have a few cards to show you this week since I have a stamp a stack on Tuesday.  I'd better get busy too!!  Well, today's card follows the sketch...kind of. lol  I needed a baby card and saw really cute card using these punch art animals by Doris Denman, and I had to give them a try.  I think hers turned out way cuter, but I wanted something with more boy colors since that's the kind of card I needed...I know, I used a little pink. :)  Oh, and don't forget to check out the Red Hot Stampers cards made with this same sketch here. 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Pastel Fox & Friends

Well, I have another post for you today.  I wanted to enter a card into The Friday Mashup this week and here's why...their theme is "Let's Celebrate!" since it's their 100th challenge.  That means I was able to choose which challenge I wanted to do out of the past 99.  I didn't get very far through their list of past challenges when I saw the "Let's Get Punchy Baby" challenge and knew that was the one I was going to do since I needed baby card for a shower this week at church.  I used a retired set, but I don't have any other sets that I can use for baby cards. :(  Plus this set is just so cute!  I can tell you one thing...I won't be making a lot of these cards with all the fussy cutting I did, that's for sure!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

It's a Boy!

It's Sunday and time for another Red Hot Stampers challenge which I really enjoyed making this week.  My sister recently had baby number six...yes, number 6!  I don't know how she does it, but she's a great mom...and sister too. :)  Anyway, as soon as I looked at the sketch for this card I knew it had to be a baby card.

Cute as a Button

Well, I had a good evening...  I went to visit a good friend of mine that moved about an hour away.  It was hard to see her go, but it's so much better for the family!  They have a cute little "cottage" as she calls it and about two acres out in the country.  Great place...and I'm so happy for them! :)

Today's card is a little different than what I usually do, but if was for my last stamp a stack and it needed to be a generic baby card.  I think I'll be doing either a card for a boy, or a card for a girl the next time I make a baby card.  It will definitely be easier that way...or it could be I'm too lazy to come up with another card for either a boy or a girl. ;)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Little Lamb Baby Card

When I asked the ladies what kind of cards they would like to see at the stamp a stacks they requested baby cards.  I had a hard time coming up with something though!  If it was just boy or girl it wouldn't be so bad, but trying to come up with one that would be good for both...not so easy.  Then I remembered a little lamb I had made for my nieces b-day card and thought that would be cute to put on a card.  I finally managed to come up with this. :) 

A closer view of the little lamb. :)

Today I have a 3x3 card for a baby shower that's coming up soon.  What color do you make the card when you don't know if it's a boy or girl?  A mixture like this.  The green and yellow just didn't seem to be working out, so I put just a touch of each color in with a lot of white!
