Quick Baby Cards

I'm on a baby card making kick this week. I'm in the mood for simple yet elegant style cards. I am so in love with Cuttlebug for making embossed backgrounds. Besides ribbon CB embossed paper is my next favorite embellishment! The cards here each use CB paper, SU stamps, punches and ribbon. They can be made in a hurry and still pack a big handmade punch! I made about 10 baby cards yesterday and now can relax for a while...maybe...everyone seems to be having baby showers this Spring.

Beach Wedding

I recently started a shop on http://www.etsy.com/ selling the extra cards I have laying around. I'm not making a "paycheck" but have earned a little $ for craft supplies. Someone even requested a wedding card with a beach theme. She really wanted a couple on a beach background. I really had to pick my brain for this card! ;) I remembered having this SU image in my RAK box. So I colored and blended till the paper was starting to fall apart. This card is the end result. I want to think it looks like the sunset? What do you think? The buyer was happy and purchased it from me. It felt really good to make a custom card, it was a real privilege for me.

Stamping Bella Challenges

This week Stamping Bella released some new stamps. Their new robots are so cute, defiantly going on my wish list! I never seem to have the right images for guy/boy cards. Robots work for the big and lil guys. The DT is having a contest challenge for the release party over at SCS. The first challenge was to make a card using something new. My new item is Liquid Pearls used on my wedding card. This product it awesome! The second challenge was to use the colors coral, green & black. I made a birthday card but realized towards the end of my card...black is a funny color to use on a birthday card. Oh well my cards are done and I'm out of time to make any changes.

Yellow Daisy

It's been day's since my blogger was working! Boy am I glad to be able to upload some cards! This pretty daisy (I made mine yellow) is from The Digi Shack. I wanted this card to be simple to really draw attention to the beautiful flower image. I embellished with CB embossed cardstock, Bella's Dot (Stamping Bella) and ribbon. How could I make a card without ribbon?? ;p

BIRTHDAY ELLIE

Okay how cute is this?! Who can resist an elephant belting out happy birthday on a microphone? This adorable digi stamp is called "BIRTHDAY ELLIE" image courtesy of The Digi Shack. Other embellishments: Prima Paper Flowers, metal flower brads, MS Branch Punch, stitched ribbon and CB embossed cardstock.

SPOTTIE

Just a simple anytime card with adorable image courtesy of The Digi Shack. This adorable giraffe is called "SPOTTIE". I think he is perfect for get well cards, or it's okay to be different friendship theme cards. He just cracks me up! In addition to the image this card was embellished with embossed SU cardstock, Top Note die cut, yellow brads, stitched ribbon and a little faux stitching with a white get pen.

Pretty Kitty

I've had this sweet kitty colored and sitting on my desk for some time. I finally grabbed him and made this quickie card. I wanted to have a simple card using lots of white. Of course i added primas, they are my favorite embellishment! This image is by Penny Black. Other goodies used: dew drops, MS branch punch, ribbon and the Cuttlebug!

Tilda In Coat

I just got the cute Tilda via the WRAK forums. I've been wanting her for a while. It reminds me of the outfit/coat my daughter wore this winter. I do spoil the baby with clothing from http://oililyworld.com/ No I don't pay full price, I hit the outlets in Orlando for 70-80% Off! After all she is my princess. I know in a few years she will have her own opinion on clothing. BLAH! So mommy has to dress her wacky while I can. Anyway this card was inspired by my little one. :)
