April Swap Card

Still getting caught up after a busy spring, but Keri and I actually exchanged these cards back at the beginning of May. So we are all caught up and I even have my May card ready to go for the end of the month.

Keri did not one but TWO sweet baby cards. I can't remember what line of stamps she used but she coloured them with Prisma pencils and hung them on a clothesline with the most adorable mini clothespins. And now I have one ready for a boy OR a girl...

I used an MFT Cat set that I've used before but I wanted to use a peek a boo die set that I hadn't used before. I actually cut off the doors as I wanted to directly showcase the cats....

I thought about it after I was done and realized I used dog bones as my background paper but I don't think its TOO noticeable. Here are the products that I used....

And there you have it. All caught up. Off to do some yardwork. The Sun is finally shining after days of gloom and rain so it will be nice to get outside for a bit.

Freshly Made Sketches

I'm back with my favourite Sketch site. I like clean and simple cards with not too much frou-frou and this fits the bill to get the mojo going. I borrowed a cute Gina Marie Onsie die from my friend and before you know it, I had whipped up 4 baby cards.
Here's the Sketch 259...

And here's the card I made based upon it...

I think it would work great for a boy!

Round and Round

The Challenge this week at Little Red Wagon is Round and Round. I recently completed this baby card and I used a couple circles so I decided to link up. After I put the card together and decided to make a few more, I realized I had lost the bundle die. I think it may have stuck to the paper and I discarded it with the scraps. Oh well, I figured out I could use an upside down balloon and cut out a little heart inside it.All is not lost (other then the die)

And here is my original card...

I loved paper piecing the stork which I had been referring to as a swan because I couldn't think of the name of the bird that delivered babies. I think I'll stamp Congratulations on the inside. It's always difficult to know what sentiment to use. I think I'm pretty safe with that one.

Baby Cards

I love my Sizzix Circle Flip-its. All you have to do is pick up some cute coordinating papers, a stamp or two and Voila! instant card. These fit into an A2 envelope and I always do a blank white section to write your own message. I always try to have a boy and a girl card on hand because you never know.

Love this 6x6 paper pad.
