April '14

It's finally here.... BABY Day!!!

My newest Niece is coming today and I can not wait to meet her.

I am safe my sister will not see this so here goes..

 

I am sorry to say that the stamp set used here is retired... 

Established Elegance.

At our Whisper Sisters swap one of the ladies suggested for us to help each other

and bring in a stamp set that we love, but not sure what to do with...

This was a second card with the same stamp set.

For some reason this stamp set spoke to me... I had all kinds of ideas.

Back to the baby, 

The Artisan Embellishment Kit adds the touch of color and vintage vibe.

Adding the brass brad and pearls continues that look.

 

 

Here is your inside ... neutral with a splash of Rose Red. 

The precious baby "ticket" and the safety pin continue the baby look.

I purposely made this an easel card so that is can be left open.

Here is the whole package... card and bag. 

 

 

awwww, it says girl, dontcha think??

Happy Birth day baby girl!!

Have a GREAT day getting Crafty!!

Paper Pumpkin ... Feb '14

ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT TO GET YOUR

FREE MARKERS!!

  Today's post is using Feb '14 Paper Pumpkin.  

The gift bags!! I LOVE them, they are better then ANY store bought bag!!

**WARNING.... WARNING** I made this one my own right from the get go.

The seam binding ribbon is not thick enough to just knot at each end so... making the ribbon a little longer and tying them together you are able to use any ribbon you want. 

You can even stamp on the bags..the Flowering Flourishes worked perfectly.  Adding my favorite punch, petite petal and a candy dot you get a great flower.  The pearls added just a little more pretty.

Sneaky right??

The lace ribbon and flower are from the Artisan Embellishment Kit that is available on the Clearance Rack.

The gold baker's twine goes beautifully with the gold glimmer paper used on the back of the "welcome" circle.  The clothes pin comes with the Paper Pumpkin kit, but I could have used gold ones here too (in the occasions catalog).  

This bag is special for me because I have a new niece due any minute... Remember my little butterfly girl?? She is getting a sister..

Seeing as the card was made prior to receiving this Paper Pumpkin I used the same colors and a few of the same elements to match.  SSssshhhh, don't tell Mindy!!

Okay enough teasing here is how it turned out...

 

Just beautiful!! Perfect for that new little girl!!

Well, I hope you are enjoying your weekend and have a Great day getting Crafty!!
