New Stuff For 2012!

I am not good at making baby cards. They don't come easily to me. However! I am happy at how these all turned out, even if they did give me a headaches or two!
They are bigger cards than I usually make, twice the normal size because there are several people who want to sign them. Confused? Me too! Someone asked me to make a unisex baby card, big size. I tried. Hard. It didn't work. I got stressed. I had baby bits that were pink and blue but nothing was working. So I gave up that idea & decided to make two cards, one for a boy & one for a girl...and a unisex (yes, that did work!) baby book that people could sign. The challenge is, no-one knows what sex the baby will be until the baby is born but they want the card now. Yeah, I know, confusing! Anyway, these are what I came up with!
I did have fun making these, eventually, especially the book! Each page is lightly decorated so there is plenty of room for everyone to sign. Amen to that!
The card with the Bunny jumping over the heart is made using an old set of SU stamps & will no doubt end up as a Valentines card! He is so cute & was so easy to make:)The sepia coloured card was a birthday card for my friend Susan, we have been friends since were around 11 I think.
Hope your New Year is going well, thanks for visiting!

Baby Bib Card

Too cute, too cute TOO CUTE!! I just love this cute little baby card! :-) I got the idea from Lynda, PLEASE check her blog because she has some gorgeous cards - a very talented lady! I liked it SO much I have made several more! I used my largest oval scallop nestie & moved the nestie up off the card before I cut it, so that the card is hinged, if you know what I mean?! Yeah, you guys are smart, you know what I mean!

I then used a slightly smaller plain oval nestie for the other bit. I added a 3D teddy bear sticker - 'cause I didn't have a TB stamp the right size - in the center of the bib. I added a bow & some ribbon for the ties.

Oh how I WISH (is the 'wish fairy' listening?!) I had MEGA oval nesties...

Enjoy, & thanks for visiting...heart hugs from me to YOU!

Baby Thank You Cards # 1

I made ten of these cards, & ten f the ones on the post below. I used my Thank You embossing folder for the background & the stamp was a really cheap one from ?? 'somewhere! I used some lavender card for the plain square. I lightly coloured the bunny & flowers using my copics. These were quick & easy cards to make!

Baby Thank You Cards # 2

Here are the 2nd batch of Baby Thank You cards I made. I used the Baby embossing folder for theses ones & the fluffy bunny slippers are a stamp from Stampendous. I used my circle nesties for the white & lavender circles. s I said...easy cards to make!

A Dotty Baby Card!

I used my Swiss Dots folder for the background on here, & cut out the circles using my nesties. I stamped the images before I cut the circles, I get things centered properly this way!

I coloured the images then stuck them to the card using sponge tape.

Little Hands

Here's #2 of my quick & easy cards for tonight! The baby buggy is from DJ Inkers & the words were another cheap stamp from Spotlight. I have used my square nesties for this one - the yellow card & the white card.

I added some cute footprint ribbon at the top & bottom of the card!

I stamped the baby's face twice & cut it out & stuck it to the card using sponge tape.

Quick & Easy!

This was a real quick card to make. Almost made itself! First I cut a rectangle using my nesties. I then stuck a piece of pink ribbon along the bottom of the card, glued on a paper flower & added a stick on pearl to the center.Added a couple of pink brads & stamped the word "Sweetness"(cheap stamp set form Spotlight) at the top of the card. Lastly I stuck the pink card to a small white card. Finished!

Baby Dress

I have to confess, I love making these cards! I don't make alot of baby cards but I really enjoy making these ones! It is a design I got from SU a long time ago, via a friend of mine who is a demonstrator for them. It is SO easy to make! After tracing the design I cut the card on the FOLD. The top of the card is cut on the fold, so it opens up from the bottom. You can decorate these any way you like, & you could make them for any occasion, not just for baby!

I used my scallop scissors to cut the bottom of the dress. Simple! :-)
