Baby Shower Card

It's been a little while since I've made a card.  I have the honor of attending a super special baby shower tomorrow.  Baby Hayden was born 4 months early at only 2lbs.  She's doing very well.  I can't wait to attend the shower.  She's still in NICU, but they hope to have her home by Christmas.  I made this super simple, super quick card to welcome her.

Hello Handsome Layout with Thermoweb Icraft Deco Foils

Hello there!  I'm up on the Thermoweb blog today with this fun layout featuring Paper Issues Monthly Kit.   I LOVE this kit!  It's filled with so many soft and fun prints and the flip side of the papers and embellishments are bright and bold.  I had a hard time choosing which style I wanted to go with.

 I used Icraft Deco Foils and toner sheet to create this fun Hello foiled title.  Simply run a wafer thin die on a toner sheet (see video below), add foil and run through a laminator.  I also cut some stars from the toner sheet and using the same laminator method foiled those as well. 

I added lots of layers using Zots Glue Adhesive and Foam Squares by Thermoweb.

Here is a quick process video.  Watch how easy it is to apply Deco Foils to Toner Sheets:

Welcome Baby Card with the Epiphany Crafts Studio Round 25 Tool and the Silhouette Cameo

I made a fun little baby card this week for Epiphany Crafts.  It never ceases to amaze me just how many ways you can utilize the Shape Studio Round 25 tool!  I made a custom sentiment that says, "Welcome Baby" using the Round 25 punch and bubble cap.

I cut the card base (A2 size) on the Silhouette Cameo.  I used Maggie Holmes Crate Paper collection for the trim on the onsie.  The ruffle was made by simply sewing a ribbon across the top of a piece of tulle which was approximately 12" long.  I just added a strip of adhesive to my card base and gathered the ribbon as I attached it to create the cute ruffled look.

Baby Mini Album using Kathy Orta Build a Page

This album was so much fun to make.  I hope you'll take the time to check it out.  Pictures just wouldn't show how interactive this album is.  I used Kathy Orta's tutorial to make it, tweaking only a few of the pages from her original instructions.   I just LOVE it!!!

Baby you can drive my car - scrapbook layout

 I had my friends over last night for a crafty/girl night.  We had a great time.

I decided I was going to make an actual 3D layout.  I haven't done that in so long! 

 The pictures are of my daughter who is now 23 years old.  I just love the cute chubby cheeks and the big grin!

I based this layout off the card I posted on August 17th.  

 It felt so good to do a layout with no particular direction, no paper requirements, just total freedom.

 I was pretty happy with the final product.  Of course, I should've gotten a lot more done, but you know how it is when you're with "the girls".  We talked, ate, drank and did a little crafting.

I switched to card making after this layout, but I think I've got the bug now.... I want to do another layout.

Baby Card

I made this card with the same cardstock as the post below.  I used a Martha Stewart Punch for the elephants and a Stampin' Up Scallop border punch.

Baby or Baby Shower Card with Silhouette Cameo

I made this baby card using my Silhouette Cameo and Lori Whitlock's Template from the Silhouette Store.  Pattern paper, ribbon, pins from my stash.

Baby Shower, Baby Arrival Card with Silhouette Cameo

Remember when I said I made some cute little socks to go with the baby overall card a few days ago... well here they are.  I left them on my table so that I would remember to put something together to utilize them.  I love the way it turned out.  I cut the socks from the Silhouette, the scallop is a Nestability and the border is a Stampin Up punch.  I have been on a baby making card kick lately and the funny thing is there are no babies in my world.  No one I know is expecting.  I suppose when it happens I will be stocked and ready!

Baby shower or birthday card with Silhouette

I made this cute card with the Silhouette Cameo. I LOVE this. The template isn't actually a card, but I copied the base layer then flipped it and added a little bit so I could weld them together an voila, a baby bibb overall card. I made some cute little matching socks to go with it, but really had no where to put them. You'll probably see them on a card soon! :) The paper used on this card was some DCWV from my stash. The Sihouette had no problem cutting it perfectly. I can think of a few ways to take it up a notch. You could add some additional dimension by embossing the shirt, adding some trim to the bibbs/shirt and many other ways.

Baby Shower Card with Silhouette Cameo - Pink & Brown

This card is a remix of a card I designed a long time ago.  As I mentioned in a prior post I had a request to recreate this card in a pink and brown theme.  I really love how it turned out.  When I created the prior card I had the Cricut.  This card was made with the Silhouette.  I love how intricate the Silhouette can cut as opposed to the Cricut.  With the Cricut I would have never been able to cut those very small scallops on the legs, neck and sleeves.  The sentiment shape was cut with Nestabilities as was the large circle scallop.

Baby Shower Card with Silhouette

I had a request to make a brown and pink baby shower card, so I was playing around.  The request was for a duplicate card that I had already made, but until I can get to the store to get the supplies to see if I can make something similar, I wanted to see if I could make something with that color scheme.  Here's what I came up with using what I had on hand.  I made this with the Silhouette and Pink Paislee Sweetness digital papers for the onesies.  The lighting isn't very good this morning, so I will try and take a better picture later.

Baby Shower Card

This is a card I saw on Pinterest and just kind of winged it as far as how it went together.  I think I made the lace trim a bit too wide, but other than that, it came out kind of cute.  Perhaps a patterned background would've made it stand out a bit more.

I'm going to a baby shower this afternoon.  I made this card to go along with her gift.  I used the Cricut New Arrival Cartridge for the onsie (cut at 3" ).  I just love that cut! :)
