Baby Boy Dresser

I totally CASE'd this wonderful card by Kate Morgan. Loved the idea of making a dresser our of a side step card. I switched it up a little, I liked the legs of the dresser made out of the top of the tag punch instead of the label punch in the original. I added the nappy pin and took off the socks. The baby boy this card is for is Belgian with a very long, strangely spelled name so I opted for "Baby", a cop-out but it worked!

Here's a link to the Splitcoast tutorial for a side-step card. Not very hard to do, but so effective.

Birthday Flowers

I was really happy with how this card turned out. It's a 5 1/2" square card, the top layer was cut with the circle thinlit scallop circle and the actual card base was just stamped with assorted inks and the set Flower Patch. A quick greeting banner and a coordinating button were added to finish it off.

Chrissie's 60th

A friend of mine is going to be 60 next week. She lives in England so I have to get this sent off today or it won't arrive in time. Because international posting is so picky, I had to leave embellishments off this card, it needs to be flat in the envelope. I used the gorgeous Blushing Bride Glimmer paper for the heart to compensate!!!!

Baby Evie

Our friends in England, Chrissie and James, had a new granddaughter last week. She's so sweet, her parents have named her Evelyn (Evie for short). I love that name! I put together this non-traditional baby card using Bloomin' Love and some thinlit dies. I wanted to have the negative image with the colour behind and after a bit of fiddling, came up with this.

Non SU Birthday Card

It's very rare I post a non-Stampin' Up project. I am very picky about stamp companies I will spend my money on. This card is made with my "other" favourite stamp manufacturer. Love it! Made this for my friend Barb's birthday. The "B" is made with a Stampin' Up set called Sophisticated Serifs.
