Happy Friday.
It's not really a frenzy!! But I did feel like all my Christmasses had come at once, as I got to make TWO baby cards at once (joy).
I LOVE making baby cards.
These are both for my colleague Jim and his wife, who finally welcomed their Daughter a couple of weeks ago.
You will remember Jim from baby quilt fame.
I made two cards, one from hubby and I and the other from my other NYC based work colleagues to send to him.
The main card is my one, I used the Studio Calico 'Celebrate Animal' stamp set, I love it, I love Studio Calico stamp sets. To make everything pop a bit, I used distress ink through a stencil to create a soft background.
The second card was so much fun to make. I used Bo Bunny glitter paste through a spotty stencil - I love glitter paste, it ends up so shimmery when it dries. The onesie / babygrow is by Clearly Besotted and I wanted it to stand out a bit more from the background, so added a loop of twine. The sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp (stamped slightly wonky..oops).
Both cards were fun to make and are really nice modern baby cards, perfect for a designer and his newly expanded family.
Off to Philly tonight to hang with friends all weekend, then next week I will be in Rochester for work, so all posts will be scheduled.

Two absolutely adorable baby cards. Love the sparkle on the second one. Hope you have a great weekend and your work trip goes well x
ReplyDeleteThe elephant on the first card rocks! Love the banner and the soft stencil too. And glitter paste? What rock have I been living under? So cool!
