Something for Baby

I recently had a couple of friends give birth to a new baby girl so I decided to make good use of my time and create two cards the same.  I had used this sketch for a recent card and decided to save time deciding on a layout I would just change the stamped images and greeting.

My colour combo is Sweet Sugarplum, Tip Top Taupe teamed with Whisper White.

I used the stamp set called "Something for Baby", a really cut set that includes this gorgeous pram image.

The greeting "peek a boo to someone new" is from the stamp set "Something to Celebrate"

I stamped the pram image with Tip Top Taupe ink and hand cut it out, layering over some Sweet Sugarplum Designer Series Paper (DSP) and plain cardstock in the same colour.  

I used the Elegant Dots embossing folder for the background to give it some texture.

I added an enamel Heart Shape to the pram, I love how our embellishments co-ordinate.

Not "Something for Baby"

 

 

My card today is one for the men in our lives, not always an easy task making "Man" cards, it's just so easy to make something pretty and floral and we always struggle when it comes to the men.

 

I've used a new stamp set called "Something for Baby", you can see it contains lots of things for little ones

 

but I've taken the tie stamp and created a masculine card with it.

 

 

 

There is a set of Framelit Dies to go with these stamps, and one of those cuts out the the image which saves so much time.

 

I used the new Rotary Alphabet stamp, I love this, great for personalising things with names and dates.  On my card I added the word "Brother".

 

 

The Real Red layer was cut using the new Project Life Framelits dies.

 

The "For You" is taken from the "Num Num" stamp set, I used a marker pen to ink just the words I wanted, love how we can do this.

 

 

 

Will have to make a batch of these as I think they will come in handy!
