Bold Baby - TSOT #225

Hello, It's time again for this weeks Try Stampin' - or not - On Tuesday and this week it is a sketch from yours truly :)

We also have a theme that you can also use with the sketch and this week its "Baby".

I don't really need too many baby cards at the moment, so I made my card so that I could use it for a baby or another occasion.

I went bold and clean! -- If you have any questions, just ask, but I think it's pretty self explanatory.
Here's the sketch:

We hope that you are able to join us this week and it's awesome seeing your creations!

Sweet Baby

Hi, today I have 2 baby cards, which I made a while ago.

Both of these card were super simple to create. I found these tags in my stash (I have no idea where they are from - sorry) and all I did was mount them onto a white base, which I had embossed, added a sentiment  and some twine and pearls and I was done!

I think they are pretty cute - what do you think? Which one is your favourite?

TSOT #149

Happy new year!

I hope your Christmas and new year celebrations, were filled with fun, laughter and hopefully not too much eating ;)

It's time for a sketch over at Try Stampin' On Tuesday. I feel a bit bad, as I totally blanked to make a card for my previous fortnight - I think the craziness of Christmas caught me there.

Any way, onto my card for this week. 

I purchased the Zoo Babies stamp set when it was on special a few months ago, but have yet to use it. So I thought I'd pull it out and give it some ink. I my colours come from the regal range, to try and keep it gender mutual.

Now I know you'll want to check out the other design teams creations so click here.

TSOT #124 - Baby Fox

Hi, I'm here to share my card for this weeks sketch at Try Stampin' On Tuesday.

Initially, I thought washi tape, but I dont have any (minor detail :) So after rummaging through my stash, I was inspired by the retired nursery nest dsp. I flipped the sketch and kept my card very clean and simple. I free hand cut the tree and used my 1/2" circle punch to create the leaves. If you have any questions, just ask.

Now over to you, its really is great seeing your creations and how you interpret an sketch. If you want to see the other creations from the design team then click here.

Baby Girl

So I'm back to share the two baby girl cards I made.

I must admit, I'm not a fan of this one, but I think it's healthy to share cards, even if they make me cringe :)

I love the simplicity of this one. The felt hearts are from Kaisercraft and I've had them forever! I used perfect polka dots to add texture and overall this was very simple to create.

So do you have a favourite? Any question, just ask.

Oh Boy

Hi there! Just passing to share a few baby cards that I made. These two are both for the little guys.

The elephant on this card, is a sticker from Kaisercraft. I have stuck this onto scrap card, fussy cut it out and mounted with dimensionals. I used the chevron embossing folder from SU to add texture to the background. I LOVE how modern this card feels and one that I will make again.

This card is a bit more traditional to me. I used some blue card from my scraps and the giraffe is a chipboard cut out. I have also used the chevron embossing folder here too, as I love chevrons at the moment!

So which one is your favourite? I'll be back later to share two baby girl cards I made.

TSOT #108 - Two Owls

Hello! It's time for another fabulous sketch at Try Stampin' On Tuesday. I actually struggled with this one - dont know why, as it's a nice clean and simple sketch - my favourite! But I think my mojo has gone MIA this past week.

Any ways heres the great sketch from Mynnette:

And my contribution:

This is a card which started out with one idea in mind, but as I was making it, ended up being a baby card - ever happen to anyone else. This card is for all the mums expecting twin boys - I dont think I could go there ;) I kept the lines clean and simple and I used marina mist, crumb cake and a strip of greenhouse gala dsp. The sentiment is from fabulous phrases and the panel behind the owls is the A to Z stamped in daffodil delight. 

Go past the Try Stampin' On Tuesday blog, for the other design teams fantastic creations and link yours up as well - we love seeing what you come up with!

Freshly Made Sketches #57

Hi all! I'm here to share a card I made for this weeks challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

I've have had this image coloured for ages and it's been sitting on my desk, just waiting to be made into a card! The sketch was perfect for this :) I've gone with a brown palette, using soft suede, crumb cake and sahara sand. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Here's the sketch:

Go past and check out the design team designs - as always they are amazing!

Little Zebra

Hi all, I feel like it's been ages since I've posted on here. I made this card ages ago and thought I'd better share it with you. My inspiration comes from this card and I fell in love instantly and knew I wanted to case the idea.

The DSP is from Kaisercraft and I thought it was perfect for the little zebra. I created the zebra with a bunch of punches and free hand cut outs. The sentiment is from "Little Angel". This was a labour intensive card, but so worth it - I am however still to give it away :)

Thanks for looking! 

Freshly Made Sketches #21

Hi! I have been meaning to play along with Freshly Made Sketches for ages now, but never seemed to find the time. But this morning I needed to make a baby boy card to send off to some friends and this sketch was just the inspiration I needed! So here's the sketch:

 And here's what I came up with: (sorry about the photo's - I just couldn't seem to get a good one)

I used white, not quite navy and bashful blue for my colours. The boat is made from cutting a circle in half and cutting triangle sails to fit. Its hard to see, but I added some polka dot embossing to the end of my 'congratulations' banner for a bit more detail. I really like the result and hopefully my friends will too.

Baby Card

Just thought I'd pop in and share a card that I made last month. My Mum asked me to make a card for a friend who had just a baby boy. She wanted greens and yellow and left the rest up to me. Here's what I came up with:

I went for a more contemporary feel and used old olive as the base, certainly celery and so saffron. I was really happy with the end result, and think the little boat is so cute! I think I'll have to make a few more of these for my own stash.

I hope every one had a great Christmas. I'm going on a little break from blogging, but will be back in the new year with some exciting news! Until then have a great New years!
Thanks for stopping by :)

Just Add Ink 85 - Just add baby

 Hi again! This week at Just Add Ink the challenge is to "Just add baby". I loved this colour combo of pink and brown that I've seen on a few blogs (I'm not really a 'brown' person, so I don't normally use it) and I still am in love with easel cards. Heres what I came up with:

I've used soft suede, pink pirouette and certainly celery and I've add a lot of pearls! I sponged all the pink pirouette dsp in soft suede and added just a little bit of colour to the main image. 

Hmmm, now I just need someone to have a baby girl - any takers? 

Thanks for looking.
