Cheery Lynn Baby Shower

I'm sharing this card inspired by both the current Cheery Lynn Doilies challenge and all the baby showers I'm attending lately.  I used yellows and aqua because I love the combination and it works for both boys and girls.  This Umbrella is a new die for me and I just love the detail.  I embossed it with a chunky white embossing powder that has flecks of glitter.  I added a piece of white card stock behind the main part of the umbrella so the embossing powder would show up better. 

The Horizon Square Boutique Stacker was cut with white card stock and layered on a cream 5.5" square card.  I then cut the patterned blue layer to 4.75" square and adhered it to the white.  The French Pastry Doily was cut with a yellow patterned card stock and adhered with foam tape for dimension.  

On the bottom I added the word baby - I just LOVE the font of these script words!

Classy Cards Baby Mobile

Hello friends!  I'm here today sharing a new baby card I made for Classy Cards 'n Such.  It was pretty quick to create and could be duplicated easily for shower invitations or thank you cards.

I began by using a Pearlescent Embossing Paste similar to the Dreamweaver one sold in the store. I used the Memory Box Stars Starry Night Stencil and a Palette Knife to apply the paste.  I used a bit of painters tape to adhere the stencil to the card front before applying the paste.  If you are going to try using this embossing paste make sure to keep a bin of water close to drop your tools in right after or keep a baby wipe on hand because the embossing paste dries very fast and you'll want to make sure to clean it off your stencil before it dries.

After the paste was dry I added the blue circle die cut that's from a die in my stash and then glued the Memory Box Mobile to the top.  The blue circle was adhered to the card front using Joy Foam Pads.

To finish up I added the Baby die from Cheery Lynn.  It's no longer in stock at Classy Cards but check out the other Cheery Lynn dies because they are all 50% off with coupon code CLD50.

Hi, I'm sharing a baby card today I created for Classy Cards 'n Such.  Everyone around me is having baby girls lately and I never seem to have enough baby cards on hand.  Don't forget to use my coupon JENNY-10 to save 10% off your entire Classy Cards 'n Such order.

I kept this card simple because the background paper can really stand on it's own.  The background paper is from the Love Letters paper pad and has a bit of shimmer that is difficult to see in the photo.  I thought the alphabet design was perfect for a baby card.

The Baby Carriage is a Memory Box die and I the gingham paper is from my stash.  The beautiful oval doily is Spellbinders Oval Bliss die.  The oval was adhered to the background using Joy! Foam Adhesive Pads.

The little buttons are from my stash and were adhered with Scor-Tape.  This stuff is incredible, it really holds on heavy embellishments amazingly well.

Classy Cards Baby Shower

Hi, I made this for my friend to give at a shower.  The invitation was blue and brown so I tried to use those colors.  

I cut the umbrella from an old Quickutz die with a scrap of Authentique paper I had in my stash.  The new Spellbinders Umbrella Trio die would work well too.  I added rhinestones to the centers of the stars on the umbrella.  

I cut a white oval using the new Spellbinders Oval Bliss die and then sponged Antique Linen distress ink onto it using the die as a stencil. The yellow dotted paper is from an older 12x12 DCWV paper pad.  Once I liked the shading on the circle, I adhered the umbrella using Joy! Foam pads.  I doubled up the pads on the center of the umbrella to add more dimension and give a rounded appearance to the die.  The sides are also popped with Joy! Foam Pads but I didn't add an extra layer so the sides would sit closer to the paper.

For the brown layer I cut a piece of Kraft card stock but then decided I wanted something a little darker so I brushed distress ink around the edges to darken the Kraft paper before I glued the layers together.  I added a baby stamp from my stash, a bow with a small button and voila!  This was a quick card if you need something for a shower in a snap.

Thanks for stopping by!

Classy Cards Baptism Blessings

Hi!  I wanted to make a frilly card for a friend's daughter's Baptism and this is what I designed.  I originally just made the card using the Spellbinders Floral Oval die but I decided to back the whole die on white A2 sized card stock so it would be easier to display.

The only opening in this card is the floral oval.  I used an A2 size top-fold card with the Spellbinders Floral Oval die making sure to push the die up a bit higher than the top of the card stock so the top wouldn't be cut all the way.  This way I still had a card with a folded uncut edge and not just a die-cut.  I then cut the Spellbinders Floral Oval a second time out of a single piece of white card stock and glued this piece to the front of the folding oval to mask the fact that the top of the other card was not a complete cut.  

I used the smaller oval in the set to create the top oval which I popped up using Joy! Foam Pads.  I cut the cross from a Spellbinders die (that Beverly can special order from the CCNS Store).  I used the cross as a stencil and colored it with distress ink.  

The inside of the card is stamped with a blessings sentiment and flat-backed white pearls were added to the front for extra interest.  This was a really quick card to create.

Classy Cards Girly Gingham

For the current Gingham Challenge at Classy cards 'n Such all that kept coming to mind were baby cards (especially baby girl cards.  Everyone around me is having girls this Summer!  

I cut the Memory Box Precious Mobile die three times with white, pink and yellow card stock. The white mobile was used as the base and then I took pieces of the pink and yellow die cuts and glued them on top to add dimension.  I like how the dangling hearts and stars match the other paper perfectly.  

I used two different sizes of the Spellbinders Floral Ovals die and popped up each layer with Joy! Foam Pads.  The Spellbinders Floral Ovals made the perfect lacy backdrop for a girl card.The yellow gingham oval was cut using the central oval from the Spellbinders Filigree Delight die.

To add a bit of glitz, I glued rhinestones using Art Institute's glue with ultrafine tip to some of the hearts and stars on the mobile.  This tip is perfect for small areas.  Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Baby

I designed this card for a friend who had a baby girl last week.  The centers of the flowers are tiny pink rhinestones and she has a larger one on her belly.  I used a Wink of Stella brush to fill in her wings.  It may be difficult to see here but in person this card shimmers.

Baby Onsies

Hello!  My sister needed a card for a friend and this is what I created. 

I used a quickcutz die and some pattered paper scraps to make the onsies.  I popped them up with foam tape.  I then created layered mats using Spellbinders A2 Curved Matting Basics dies.  I also popped up the layers with foam tape.  I used Judikins color dusters to brush distress ink around the edge of the white mat.
