Baby Shower Thank You Cards

I think I am going to stamp the Thank You sentiment on the outside of the right version as well. My original plan was to do it on the inside, but I think it will be great on the outside too.

I whipped these up really quickly using Cricut Craft Room! I am really enjoying using it since my Gypsy died! Oh no! But I was able to get 6 A2 sized baby onesie fronts out of a 12x12 sheet of paper. I love it! So I made 12 to start with and since it is just one cut on top of a shaped base... a little ATG work and I was done! :)

Little Cutie Release Party - Boy

Welcome to the Little Cutie release party for boys!

Make sure to hop over to the Imaginisce blog to see all of the wonderful inspiration we have brought you!

We have a new little cousin in the family and his name is Braydon so this will be headed his way soon! But I wanted to share it with you first! I took the block shaped card from the Wrap it Up cartridge and used the hide/contour feature to hide the letter "A". Next I took the "B" from Storybook and made it the appropriate size and slanted it so that it would look like it belonged on that side of the cube. The rest was easy peasy! If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at any time!

I have to say that I had the HARDEST time putting the canvas stickers on this card as they are SO adorable that I wanted to hoard them forever. But we all know that doesn't get us anywhere so I just had to use them. Check them out! They are so darling.

This card was inspired by my sweet friend June. Over at Betty Bee's Buzz where I am a DT member, we had a baby week last week and June used the little lamb from Wall Decor and More. I had forgotten about it and just think it is darling. So she inspired me to pull it out and use it! 

I have to say that I am very excited about this card. Usually I don't put too much stuff on a card, but this one has a lot of detail.

First Yudu Project - Onesies!

Hello! You are half way through the work week! 

I have my first ever YuDu project with you to share!

Now, I actually did these back in January because three of my friends were having boys! So I just whipped these out and I have to say, this project made me fall in love with my YuDu! You can also do onesies with the YuDu card shop! I haven't tried that yet, but I would LOVE to! :) 

I am sharing these over at Betty Bee's Buzz to play along in the baby challenge! :) 

The "boy" is on the back of the onesie - on the bottom. I thought it would be cute to see them crawling around with "boy" on the butt! 

I did the ducks first so I learned a lot while doing the ducks. I wasn't using enough pressure and that's the only reason there is an imperfection! :)

Pure Joy

Good Monday morning to all of you! You might have gotten here from Betty Bee's Buzz or you may have gotten here from Artful Delight! Either way, welcome! 

This week I am doing the tutorial on Betty Bee's Buzz! And in honor or her new grandbaby Paisley being born, we are having a baby week. So play along in the baby challenge and you never know what could be up for grabs! :) 

This card was inspired by my good friend June Houck! I was on the phone with her brainstorming and she brought up "onesie" which produced my a-ha moment! 

OUT FOR PUBLICATION!!!! :)

Instructions:

(If you have a Gypsy, weld the two together at the top and ignore step 1)

1. Using Wall Decor and More™ cut two onesies out at 4" out of Butter cardstock. 
2. Next cut one onesie with the swirl detail out of Summer Fun at 4". Adhere to card base.
3. Ink around edges of card.
4. Stamp Pure Joy and the little foot from My Pink Stamper's Sweet Baby™ set in Momento ink.
5. Cut 2 one inch butterflies from Cake Basics™ (or any butterfly blackout or shadow cut - or punch for that matter!).
6. Add white stones using your i-rock™ to the center of the butterflies. 
7. Ink edges.
8. Bend edges up around the i-rock™ stones making the wings upright.
9. Adhere one of the butterflies to the mini clothespin and the other one to the onesie.
10. Take two buttons and use twine to thread through the holes from the back and tie a bow in the front. Trim extra length off. 
11. Using Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares™, attach one to each button back and adhere to card.
12. Send the card to a friend!
