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.

Baby boy card

To celebrate the arrival of a baby boy, here is a card I made using the "notched tag" stamp and die set from MFT. The onesies and stars were cut using the die set on my big shot, and the sentiment "baby boy" was from the matching stamp set. The card was finished off with some baby blue and white striped ribbon and two pearls were attached to the centre of the stars.

Little birdies on a wire

Here is another card I made using the notched tag MFT die set. This time I cut out 6 little birds from some different Kaisercraft paper. I ruled two lines on the card and stamped the bird legs/feet onto the wires, and then stuck the birds on with pop dots. The stamp for the legs and also the sentiment "so tweet", come with the die set. It is a great stamp/die set!

Get well soon!

This card was made using my new die/stamp set from MFT, "Umbrella." The umbrella was cut using this die on my Big Shot machine, and the sentiment and rain drops were stamped using the matching stamp set.

Baby girl card

Here is a card that I made to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl. I used some Sizzex dies from MFT to cut out the tags, heart and onesie. The stamp set also came with the die set.

Baby girl gift card

Here is another baby girl gift card that I made using some Fiskars stamps and then coloured in.

"It's a girl" gift card

After making two cards for baby boys, here is a card for a baby girl. It is smaller in size and is very pink with some Christina Re pink diamond patterned paper with some hot pink paper backing it.

Using some Fiskar's stamps, I stamped the pram and sentiment in black straight onto the patterned paper. Then, I also stamped the pram onto some white card stock, coloured this with some copics, and then cut it out and placed it on the stamp using some pop dots to give it dimension.

"It's a boy" card

Here is another card I made using some fantastic animal patterned paper designed by Christina Re (called Animal Kingdom). I matted the animal paper on some co-ordinated baby blue paper to match the blue seal. I positioned some shiny gold card stock with some blue and white striped ribbon around in on the white card, then positioned the animal print and a stamped "It's a boy" sentiment on top.

Baby boy animal card

I was so excited to find this lovely animal print paper at Eckersley's art store the other week, and so made this card to celebrate the birth of a little friend's baby boy. I was so excited with the way it came up, and it was so easy (or at least simple!). I began by cutting out a piece of the patterned paper and positioning it on some blue and gold card stock on top of the white card. I then cut out an additional hippo, elephant, giraff and lion from some of the remaining paper and stuck it onto the card with some foam. I was very happy with the result and the recipient was very impressed - she couldn't believe that I'd made it!

Baby shower card for a baby girl

I recently bought this pretty diamond print paper from Eckersley's art supplier and so was eager to use it. Fortunately a baby shower presented itself! For this card, I stamped an umbrella and a baby from the Fiskars stamp set "The stork has landed", then coloured them using Copic markers. I then cut some pale pink and hot pink card stock and my diamond patterned paper to make the background of my card. I then carefully positioned my stamped images onto the diamond card-stock so that it looks like the baby is hanging off the umbrella. I really liked this card (as did my husband), and fortunately the mum-to-be loved it too!

Engagement Card

Here is a simple engagement card. To make this card, I cut out a large heart from some pink patterned paper using a Fiskars Heart shape. I then cut two triangles in some matching patterned card stock and some handmade paper so that the triangles would cover the entire card. I attached these to the white card and positioned some ribbon across the join to hide it. Finally, I attached the heart and some pearls from Kaisercraft.

Another baby girl card

Here is another card to welcome a baby girl. For this card, I stamped some bottles, booties, pins, and hearts using some Fiskas stamps onto some white card. I used a hot pink coloured ink from the versa range, and then used some clear embossing powder to make the images stand out more. I positioned the white card on some pale pink cardstock but placed a strip of hot pink card in between to create a bit of interest. Finally, I placed a message in the middle on the same hot pink card along with some punched out prams in the same pale pink cardstock.

Card to welcome a baby girl

It seems as though all my friends are having baby girls at the moment, so here is a card that I made to celebrate the arrival of one little princess!

The card used a Fiskas stamp to create the pram and also the message. The pram was stamped onto the wide card and then also onto a separate piece of white card. I then coloured the second stamp and cut out the image and 'pop-dotted' it onto the white card.

The little pink and white teddys were punched out using a small bear punch.
