It's a Boy

Congratulations, Tamara!!!! LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF Design Team Member, Tamara, is expecting a baby boy any moment!!! I made this week's card in celebration of her new arrival. I used Lindsay's NEW digital paper SWEET STITCHES, the rattle from her BABIES AND BOWS set, and a sentiment from studio g. I got this super layout sketch from the Sketch and Stash Challenge Blog. I used these cute felt flowers from my forgotten stash, along with some tiny brown buttons. I embossed a sparkly blue panel of paper with my cuttle bug for some added fun. :) I put a second panel of the SWEET STITCHES paper with a stamped sentiment on a cream scrap (inkadinkado) on the inside of the card. Don't forget, Lindsay will have a freebie, the Design Team will have some fabulous inspiration for you, and even though she isn't posting today, stop by Tamara's Blog and leave her a happy note and some well wishes to make her day!

Basic Grey, Babies and Bows!

It's Thursday and that means it's Digi Stamp Day with Lindsay's Stamp Stuff! Yesterday I went shopping with Cindi (one of our talented Design Team Members) and then we met Lindsay (of Lindsay's Stamp Stuff) for lunch at a local Thai restaurant. We all enjoyed delicious food and had a great time. While Cindi and I were shopping, I found (what I thought) was going to be a versatile embossing folder that I could use for birthdays, Christmas.... Turns out, when I got it home, it was for baby cards. If you look closely, you can see a baby bottle and booty in the embossing. So...I decided to keep it anyway and use it with the BABIES AND BOWS stamp set that Lindsay designed. I really like how this card turned out. It could be used for a baby shower or for a new baby. With a different sentiment, it could be used for a baby's first birthday as well. I wanted to use non-traditional colors instead of predictable pastels. To give the card a more "finished" look, I added faux stitching to the card stock panels and was able to meet a challenge at the Sunflowers and Dragonflies challenge blog.

Hello, Baby!

Well, I've managed to use up two more sets of stamps I had been hoarding. I have a friend whose daughter is going to have a baby, so I knew I'd need a card eventually. I got the idea for two of these from my bff, Cindi. She always makes great cards! You can check out her blog here. Anyway, I'm off to ink up some more of those unused stamps. Judy (Judy's Scrappin' and Stampin' in Orono) is having a 50% off sale on most of her wood mounted stamps through January 31. I have to get all mine used up so I can catch her sale!!! Darn those New Year's Resolutions!
