A new baby girl card

This card to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl uses a die-namic from "My Favorite Things" called "Notched Tag" to create the tag, the onesie and all the butterflies. When I attached the butterflies, I stuck some straight to the cardstock and then used pop-dots for some of them.

The patterned paper comes from the Kaisercraft collection called "Fine and Sunny."

Feel better card

This card was made with paper from Kaisercraft (I can't remember the name of this collection, but I think the red paper was called "Empire") and a matching stamp and die-namic set from "My Favorite Things" called "Umbrella". I love this die as it has the whole umbrella shape and also each of the segments, giving the umbrella a much more interesting look.

Congrats - An engagement or wedding card

This was a simple card I made by cutting out some hearts using a die from the "Notched Tag" die-namic set by "My Favorite Things" on some scrap paper. I attached them to some shiny pale pink cardstock, put some liquid pearls on and some ribbon.

The sentiment was formed by cutting out a circle from the pale pink paper and placing the hot pink paper with the sentiment behind it. The sentiment was stamped from the matching "Notched Tag" set.

Celebrate a new baby girl with a handmade card

After all the baby boy cards I've been making lately, I thought that it was time to make a baby girl card.

This one uses some patterned paper that I picked up from Lincraft as well as some dies that I cut on the Big Shot using a die-namic and stamp set from "My favorite Things" called "Notched Tag." This set also includes the stamps that I used for this card (as well as lots of other stamps and dies too!)

A baby boy card

This card to celebrate the arrival of a baby boy uses two of my favorite things. First, I love this patterned paper that I found in Lincraft of some circus animals. I've used it for quite a lot of cards, and fortunately bought quite a few sheets of it at the time as I think that it is so nice.

The second product that I like is the die-namic and stamp set that I used to make both the tag, the onesie and the stamp. They come from "My Favorite Things" (MFT) in a set called "Notched Tag".

I finished the card off with some kitchen string, some plain blue cardstock and some little sparkly blue and silver stars and circles to add a bit of "bling".

A baby boy card

This baby boy card was created using the "Notched Tag" Die-namic from My Favorite Things for both the tag and the onesie that is attached to it. This was positioned on some patterned paper (I'm unsure of the source), with some kitchen string wrapped around the patterned paper.

To complement this, I cut out a circle from the patterned paper and carefully stamped a sentiment "baby boy" from the "Notched Tag" stamp set on the yellow paper underneath the patterned paper.

A nerdy handmade card

This is a card that I made for my nerdy husband, using the "Technologic" collection from Kaisercraft for the two patterned papers forming the background, as well as the two robots.

The tag in the bottom right corner was taken from the My favorite things "Notched Tag" stamp and die-namic set, that includes both the notched tag, the heart and also the stamp "u r my." I finished the card off with some plain orange card, some brown ribbon and some kitchen string on the tag.

I'm pleased to report that my husband loved his card!

A beautiful day

Here is a card I made using some paper from Kaisercraft's "Fine and Sunny" as the two patterned papers found in the 6.5" by 6.5" paper pad. The two flowers also come from Kaisercraft.

The  sentiment was taken from My favorite things "Framed Greeting" Die-namic stamp set. The beauty of this set is that it contains both the die that can be used in the Big Shot Sizzex machine, and then the coordinating stamp.

Finally, the card was finished with some plain green backing paper, some brown ribbon and a couple of pearls in the bottom right corner.
