Simply Soft Multi Occasion Card

Hi there,
I've been trying lately to make cards with my old DSP, primarily so I can
justify to myself the need to buy some from the new catalogue.
 It can be quite a challenge using retired DSP and matching colours.
This stamp is a good one to use with the new Blendability pens.  I like the result.

Happy Birthday

Hi,
Loved the look of this card, cased from Melissa Davies.
It was just perfect for a birthday I had coming up. I already had the
stamp set Amazing Birthday, from Stampin'up convention,
so it was easy to adapt.

I used Night of Navy, Whisper White and Coastal Cabana card stock and of course the embossing set it off.
I will make this card again in a different colour scheme as it perfect for a male birthday.

Hello,
This week I have been playing with the Sale-A-Bration stamp set, See Ya Later and have come up with a set of four cards. These stamps are very easy to make a fun card with.

Baby Pram Card

Hello again,
With the best intentions in the world I still can't seem to add to this blog every week. So much for New Year resolutions.
Today's card was inspired by a pram shaped card made by Tamara Bertram. I have used the pram image on the front of my card, for quite a different look. As usual all the products used are from Stampin'up.

 The colours used on the card can be altered for a boy or made more neutral if the sex of the baby is unknown.

Products used for this card are listed below and are available on the on line store link.

Stamps	Zoo Babies
Card Stock	Melon Mambo, Wisteria Wonder, Naturals White, Baked Brown Sugar, Whisper White, Pretty in Pink (discontinued).
Ink	Basic Black
Accessories	Baked Brown Sugar, Stretch Ruffle trim, seam Binding ribbon, Basic pearls.

Until next time, Marg

Baby Dress

Hi,
I'm having a bit of a run on baby cards at the moment and recently made this one for the christening of a friend's granddaughter. It uses the same basic template as the Onsie card. It was pretty and a bit quirky. Nice to vary the shape of cards from time to time. It was not at all difficult to make.The finished card fits into a C6 envelope.

 

Stamps	Zoo Babies sentiment
Card Stock	Whisper White, Blushing Bride.
Ink	Early Espresso
Accessories	Whisper White taffeta ribbon, Basic pearls.
Tools	Textured embossing folder Elegant lines (retired), modern label punch, Scallop circle punch, Scallop edge border
