Welcome baby ....

.... a week ago today it was my birthday - I had a fantastic time.  I also found out that a friend of mine had her baby on the very same day - 2nd June is a good day to be born!!!  I can post this card as they will have received it by now.

Stamps: Stampin' Up! - Sassy Salutations, Something for Baby, Stacks of Wishes
Inks: SU - Bashful Blue, Brocade Blue
Dies: SU/Sizzix - Baby's First Framelits
Accessories: White Lustre Card

I've made a very clean, simple card, a contrast to the one I made for the baby shower (see below).  I used my new SU set - Something for the Baby - the onesie is so cute, but the colours are both discontinued, which is a shame!  I stamped the sentiment directly on to the card base and the onesie on some scrap and then die cut it.  I adhered the die cut with dimensional tape.  On the inside (which I forgot to photograph) I stamped a sweet verse.

This was the card I made for the Baby Shower, full details are here.  That's all for now - see you soon.

ASM - Anything Goes ....

.... Good evening!  Hi, it's time for our Anything Goes challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More!  We are joined by a new sponsor - StampArt Designs by Kathryne and I've used one of her fabulous digi images for my card.  The winner of our challenges gets 5 free digi images from Kathryne.  Our Guest Designer for the next couple of challenges is Dawn of LilyPinkScraps, she is a member of our Wall of Fame.

I like the Anything Goes challenge, and it's always popular, here's my card:

Stamps: StampArt Design - Tulip Umbrella; Magenta - Happy Birthday; Stampin' Up! - Stack of Wishes
Inks: Versmark; SU - Rich Razzleberry
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Rich Razzleberry; SU DP - Rich Razzleberry; Copics; White Embossing Powder

I absolutely love this image - tulips are one of my favourite spring flowers.  I'm so fed up of the snow here that it was a pleasure to colour (using lots of Copic markers) this umbrella of tulips.  I've used the colours and layout from this week's CAS - Colours & Sketches - CASC&S#59; I've included a bit of green - hope that's okay.  After colouring the image, I carefully cut it out and adhered it to the card with dimensional gel.  I cut a strip of Rich Razzleberry, stamped the sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed with white powder.  For the inside I cut a mat layer of Rich Razzleberry design paper, stamped a fun sentiment and added another image of the Tulip Umbrella.  I sized it down a bit and left it black and white.

It's entirely possible that you'll see this image again - so pretty!  For more inspiration do check out the cards from Karen, our Guest Designer and from the rest of the team.  As always we have a super selection.  I'm really looking forward to seeing your creations.
