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!!

 Good day, everyone!! Hope your Sunday is lovely!

Sunday in my house is a simple, hang out and relax kinda day. 

Today's card mirrors that:

Petite Petal stamps, punch and the Bird Punch are all that is needed here.

Note: The flowers are punched from Whisper White, 

sponging the two and stamping one, keeps it simple.

Adding a very small amount of sponging to the edges of the corners, VERY lightly, just to add that little something.. 

I could not help myself... it needed something and the Rhinestone did the trick.

Note: The extra pieces of thread... they were scraps and just add a little more 

presence to the Linen Thread.

Blissfully enjoy your day today and have a Great day getting Crafty!!

Weekly Deals... April 1

 

Causing some more trouble!!

It started with...

Happy Tuesday Everyone! 

 Happy first of the month!!

Happy $1.00 day....

This post is all about something that spurred an idea from just $1.00

This little wooden "basket".  

It was actually found for me, she knows who she is... and she was right, I love it!

So cute, right?? but what do you see??

Here is what I saw....

I was describing this idea, in its infancy, to my hubby and he says... ohhh so like an Easter basket.  So, I went with that.... Thanks sweetie!

 

 See the new rosette die?? and of course the petite petal?? 

The stamped flowers are from Betsy's Blossoms.

Using the scalloped punch it looks almost like a flowered letter.  

Keeping the raffia was a great place to perch a butterfly. Just an excuse, but it goes....

This birdhouse is made from the purse die and early espresso core'dinations paper... again it was the hubby who said it needed a bird inside.  The roof is made from one of the floral frames collection.  This little butterfly is a great way to "hide" a knot.

  

Trying to figure out what was used for the "house"?? 

Have you guessed?? It is 2 cut outs of the milk carton die. The roof is the pansy punch and petite petals punch. 

 

Now what to use for grass?? humm, How about candy?? 

The rest of the "basket" was filled with Easter candy.  

I hope you are enjoying this 1st of April.  Have a Great day getting Crafty!!
