I love making baby cards. I guess I just love babies and everything to do with them! I didn’t design this card for anyone in particular…just because I had this patterned paper and “darling” title card. I just looked baby girl to me and so I added in the “precious baby” part of the sentiment with a Crate Paper rub-on transfer.

Darling Precious Baby

This was a super simple card design to create. A simple white card base covered with patterned paper and a scalloped edge on the right hand side. I used the EK Success large corner rounder punch to create these large scallops. EK Success carries at least three different sizes of corner rounders in their punch line. I love making different sized scallops with them.

To add a little embellishment to this simple design, I folded a Prima Martini flower over the top of the title block and adhered a jumbo copper eyelet from We R Memory Keepers with my Crop-a-dile. Also with my Crop-a-dile, I added little white eyelets in each of the scallops. The last two additions just make me think “girl”. Soft pink velvet ribbon and a little pink rhinestone sticker to dot the i in darling. 🙂 This design was created for a review for Craft Critique on My Mind’s Eye paper line.

Thanks for stopping by today! Wishing you a fabulous week!

Wow I’m thankful that it is Saturday. Not much relaxing going on here but it is a NEW long weekend here in Canada. Monday is FAMILY DAY. Sounds a little dorky but hey! I’m up for another holiday no matter what its called! And yay…more time to get working on the renovation. And yes…it IS really good to spend time with your famile. We needed a holiday BTW…with none from New Year’s until Easter…we are due one! Actually…we’re hoping to take a little time off on Monday for some toboganning. With all this snow, might as well enjoy it…anyways…I hope!

Thanks, Thanks So Much

Enough rambling…you and I both have things to do! This design is a simple one using a sketch from one of the Paper Crafts magazine recipes. I love how the blocks are all collaged up the left side. A very simple card, this design just uses rub-ons and patterned paper for a quick fun thank you. This design was also part of a review on My Mind’s Eye paper that I wrote for Craft Critique.

Wishing you a super fun weekend! Spend some time with your family and Thanks, thanks so much for stopping by. 🙂

I thought I’d take a little break from Christmas designs and share a floral design I created not too long ago. I love the warmth of the coral flowers paired up with the vanilla and black color scheme. Just what my blog needed…a shot of color. It’s simple to create gorgeous flowers with this Three Step Daisy set by Kitchen Sink Stamps. Love all the various color combos and looks you can come up with. This card is really flexible…just by changing up the sentiment, you can use it for many occasions.

Grow with Love

If this design looks familiar, you may have seen it before. I originally created it for an article/review I wrote for Craft Critique on Kitchen Sink Stamps….I gave them a huge thumbs up. I was really impressed as they have some of the easiest to use polymer stamps I’ve tried.

It’s been a very busy day here. Lots of work to do that I can’t share right now. You’ll have to forgive me…I’m so exhausted tonight…I can’t even remember the patterned paper line! If someone can help a tired girl out…:) Take care my friends! 🙂
