Love is in the Air

With all the "Love" going on this month, I thought that this wonderful set from Clear Dollar Stamps was perfect.  I just love these tweet birdies and the sentiment from the Love Tweet Love set.  I've paired it with some lovely papers that you can also find at Clear Dollar Stamps from their Static Dreams set.  I added this wonderful lace ribbon and satin white ribbon that I had in my collection.  Something simple to hopefully bring some smiles.

Sweet Baby Girl

I'm back with something new.  This is a card that I've made for a few challenges.  One being Sweet Stampin' Spots and Dots, and then Little Miss Muffet's - Something New, and finally Designed 2 Delight - Winter flowers, or any flowers.  From these challenges, I came up with this.  I used a sweet onsie template from Alley Way Stamps (meant to create a shaped card but I resized it for this.).  Then after cutting them out I inked the edges to help them stand out a bit more.  I embossed the back pannel with a flower folder from Cuttlebug ( I just love this tool!).  I added some fun Stampin' Up Ribbon to help frame it in.  For the sentiment I used one by Brossart Addiction and matted it to some pink cardstock.  The buttons have a bow tied to them with embroidery thread and placed in the corners.  To  finish it off I chose a cute foot clip from Media (from Walmart). I think it's adorable!  But it doesn't end here!

I finished off the inside a bit.  Inspired by Designed 2 Delights last challenge that I didn't make it in on.  I created a little pouch to put a gift card in.  It's under the little onsie and dotted paper.  Gift cards are great for families who already have some children and don't "need" anything in particular.  This gives the family the ability to use the gift card for something that may be a bit more practical for them!

I had lots of fun creating this one, and I think I've gotten the hang of making such little bows! Well at least it was good practice! Thanks for dropping by!

Little Miss Saffron

At the moment I'm just loving the snow and the great big blue sky! Two of my favorite things.   The colder it gets here, the more the sun shines!  (in the winter that is, come summer, it never stops!)  For this card I've used the beautiful little Saffron which is a new release over at Little Miss Muffet's You can get here as a freebie until Jan 3rd. Check here for more details. Do hop over to the store and peek at her other wonderful stamps!
I coloured her with my prismacolour pencil crayons and then matted her to some lovely blue and white cardstock.  The white center is inked a bit around the edges and the other is cut with my deckle scissors to add a frosty look.  The decorative paper is from my scrap pile and then I added a beautiful sentiment from Dee's Designs which I also added a bit of deckle edges to.  To finish it off I added some lovely snowflakes and pearls from Hero Arts.  All this I layered on some distressed white cardstock and adhered it to my base.
