Blogging Friends Blog Hop!

Hello friends,

I hope you are managing well with all of the changes our daily lives are coping with.

My family and I are doing well.  We like being at home together.  We are keeping busy.   I am making cards and am on a mission to use up my DSP stash.  

But today, it is time for a Blogging Friends Blog Hop.  The theme this month is Baby Come Rockin'.  I had a lot of fun with this!  It has been a long time since I have made a baby card and I forgot how fun they are.

I used some of my favourite things on this card.

There is some super sweet stitching on this card which is perfect for a baby card.  

First, I used the Stitched be Mine dies to add a small scalloped stitched edge on the Whisper White Layer.  Then I used the largest square from Stitched Shapes dies to frame that adorable kangaroo and baby koala.  Finally, I used the Stitched Rectangle dies to frame the greeting.  

The image and greeting is from the Animal Outing stampset.  The images are so cute and perfect for a baby card.  I colour it using my Stampin' Blends, Crumb Cake Combo and Smokey Slate Combo and Flirty Flamingo Combo.  The scalloped Balmy Blue square is the largest of the Scalloped squares in the Layering Square Dies.

The cardstock colours are Balmy Blue and Whisper White.  The ink used Memento Black.

Happy stampin'

Extra Special Baby Card

Hello there my stampin' friends,

I have the most amazing news to share - I am going to be an aunt again!  My sister who lives in New Brunswick who was married last year, is about to become a mom!  What better way to celebrate, than to make a home made card!  

The folks over at The Paper Players have a wonderful 2 week celebration challenge and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to play along.

 I had a picture of the baby's room to use as further inspiration - It's a wild animal theme - black and white stripped rug on the floor, white crib, crumb cake pictures of African animals on the wall.  Can you guess which stampset I used?  Here is my card...

Animal Outings to the rescue!  What do you think?  I just LOVED how it turned out!  As you can see I started out with a Crumb Cake base, layered it with Basic Black and then a striped DSP from the retired Wild DSP, I added an extra layer of Crumb Cake and Basic Black turned slightly.

    

 I coloured the images using my Stampin' Blends. They are my favourite colouring tool!  Note the little bird is blue - she is having a boy! 

I can't wait to hear from her once she receives it.  

Be sure to stop on over to The Paper Players to see of the wonderful Inkspiration that was created with this challenge in mind.

Happy Stampin'
