Baby Sprinkle and Class

 

Good Friday and Happy Weekend Wishes!

I hosted a

Baby Sprinkle

last night for my daughter. I had never heard the phrase until recently but it is a perfect saying for a small token shower for a multiple time mom to be. I also managed to serve the guests and make four cards all before 8:30 too!

 

So, here are a few cards we did last night in class. The Brown toned one uses the new Baked Brown Sugar Ink sponged for the front using a mask . The Green toned one uses the new Pistachio Pudding and the flower on the left is matted with Smokey Slate. This color combo was a hit with my girls!

 Inside I used Crumb Cake for the banner design and stamped the sentiment in Baked Brown Sugar.

The last two cards were practically cased. The Honey Comb design was inspired by Laura Laffke and the legos are all over the internet so I am not sure who began that idea but the girls loved that too.

I am doing better on decorating the inside of my cards too thanks to the inspiration of

Robbie Rubala!

 

 

I am sending warm Birthday Wishes to Amanda over at Crafty Play Date so why not help me suprpirse her with dozens of Birthday Wishes in her comment section!

SPRING PROJECTS!

Hey Stampers! I have a couple of cards and projects to show you today. First some of you probably know it is that time of year again and that means  my
Grand-daughter's Ballet Recital is coming up. Here is the card I made for her this year. In years past I have used the same template but it was a bit more babyish. This year she is a big girl of 5 and loves BLING so I added some to the tutu.  Oh my what can I expect at 16 LOL!

I have added pictures of some of the other designs I have made using this same template below for baby cards. This template is so much fun especially with the rounded bottom! So be sure to browse my store for lots of fun ideas to inspire you too!

Now as you also know I have been showcasing designers from Craft Project Central here on my blog this month. I hope you have enjoyed them. So, now it is my turn and here is the project I amde for them. It is a variation of the leather satchel I did last fall. I hope you enjoy it with the Swallowtail Butterfly!

DYEING BY PRODUCT "mistake"

Today's card uses the sketch over at Hand Stamped Sentiments . I miss having some soft wide ribbon with a little weight. I love making bows and hoped that we would be getting something pretty in the NEW CATTY but that isn't going to happen for right now so I need to improvise. I had been making some Baby Centerpieces for my DIL shower this weekend and some of the items needed for the tables to be stuffed full with netting. SO! I used an extra piece to make this card. Can you see the nice texture on the green scrap. That was created while I was dyeing the vanilla colored netting. COOL mistake or by product huh! I'll be playing more with that soon! LOL!

Anyway I took the netting and created a rustic accent to use as my bow. I hope you are inspired to try NEW things. Have a fun stampin' Day! ~

GLITTER PARTY

Good Monday everyone! I am refreshed from a  fabulous spring weekend here in New England. It was so lovely and hubby and I drove around with the top down all day in his convertible. Lovely REALLY! Never had one before and it was a fun time!

Anyway today is countdown for my DIL baby shower and the cards may be scarce this week, but for now I did the sketch over at Freshly Made and added some sparkle with Gimmer Paper for a fun "off season" change of pace. I thionk we forget to use glimmer paper this time of year...but I had it out for convention ideas and decided to make a card with some of the left over. I love this little hat because it makes a perfect little statement for a not so perfect 60 year birthday coming up! Enjoy your week!
