Baby Girl Cards

I need to get going on some baby cards and with limited supplies in my stash of solid colored card stock.  I had to do some creative thinking.  I really like the way these baby girl cards came out.  




 I have stamped all my stamps out onto paper and added them into binder.  This helps a lot going through the binder to see what I have and what I can use from other stamp sets.  I will show and list of most of the products used at the end of the post.


 I did not have the right pink cards stock to cut out the banner.  It is hard ordering the right color card stock on line.  There are so many different shades of pinks, lavenders and so on.  I took my ink pad and ran it across a strip of white card stock.  Let the ink to dry before I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using a banner die, not bad.  I think I will try to do that more often.
 I used an embossing folder to add some extra texture to the card.  It was just too blank leaving the card base plain.







 Using different hearts as filler images.

Scrappy Quilting

Image
 Little by little I have been trying to use up my left over scraps.  Looking at Pinterest for some ideas on how to proceed with a scrappy quilt.  With so many wonderful ideas, I decided to  sew up my scraps lager enough to cut out a 5 inch squares, using an acrylic ruler. I had left over blocks from prior projects that made sewing up this quilt faster. Using my walking foot to do simple straight lines. I really love the way this mini quilt turned out.  I think this is a great way to use up left over blocks and scraps. This was another quilt using 4 inch blocks and yes using scraps.

Cards Using Crate Paper "Style Board"

Image
A few cards made using a cute pattern papers from Crate Paper 6 x 6 paper pad called "Style Board".  A very simple and quick card layout. I pulled out several sheets of paper from the paper pad and looked through my ribbon box and sticker/embellishment stash to see what would go well with the papers. These cute little bird in a bird cage stickers?  An oldie by Jolee's Boutique called "Vintage Bird Cages" #50-20363.   "Many thanks" sentiment is a sticker and not a stamp.  I have had this cute birthday die cut for a long while and I was happy to have finally used it. "Free Spirit" is a chipboard piece by an old K&Company called "Dear Olivia". Fussy cut out flowers from the collection  I also used some Tim Holtz idea-ology stickers from the "quotations" packet.

Using Wrapping Paper

A small piece of gift wrap left over.  I used one of my rectangle stitched die to cut out some panels. I ran a few through an embossing folder.  No bad for a last minute card idea.   Stamped sentiments came from Papertrey Ink.
