10 Little Toes

I wanted to share this baby card with you.  My cousins recently had an adorable baby boy and I have a friend who is also expecting a boy too. I will do something different for that one but can't post until much later!!

I used the "Baby Prints" from the Occasions Mini (don't forget items only available until the end of April!)  I stamped the feet & hands, cut both out using my fabulous paper snips, makes things so much easier.  I popped up the feet on the front and the hands on the inside.

The greeting was stamped & punched using the Curly Label Punch.  I adhered to the front with a Marina Mist Brad to match of course!  The strip of Designer Paper is from the "Stacks" collection of Subtles.  It is Bashful Blue sponged with Marina Mist.  I put a strip on the inside of the paper as well.

Hope you enjoy!  Happy Stamping.
Heather

Summer Smooch New Catty Sneak Peak

I love sneak peaks!  The card below was actually inspired by the Mojo Monday sketch challenge 236.  I didn't actually go with their circle, I just couldn't get what I was going for so changed it slightly but I loved this idea of the layout.

I used the new Sneak Peak Summer Smooches Stamp Set, Designer Paper, Fabric Brads & Ribbon!

I started with the Daffodil Delight background/cardbase.  I cut two strips of Designer Paper and one piece of Tempting Turquoise that I ran through the big shot with the Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  I wrapped the Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon around the top and adhered down.

I used a Tempting Turquoise & Lucky Limeade Marker to colour the vase & greenery of the stamp then pierced a hole for the matching & fabulous Fabric Brad.  Note that the Brads & Stencil available during this promotion are only available until the end of April, everything else will be in the new catalogue.

The sentiment is from "Short & Sweet" stamped in Tempting Turquoise, this stamp set is actually retiring at the end of May.  Yes, May, as you may recall me mentioning that the current Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalogue will now end in May instead of June.  The retired list of stamp sets is now out and you can see the retired list of accessories on April 25th.
