Welcome Baby–MFTWSC #185

Hey, there! It’s Wednesday noon so it must be time for this week’s MFTWSC! Are you ready? Here’s this week’s sketch. All of the details about the sketch challenge are available on the MFT blog as well as in the weekly newsletter. The Design Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.




I started this card off with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then I decided to split the main panel instead of adding a strip on top. So, after measuring carefully, I did that and, with a die from Blueprints 15 Die-namics, added some dotty interest to each edge. I popped those pieces up on some patterned paper I made using Spearmint ink and Banana Split ink and Diagonal Stripes Stencil. I layered all of that on a piece of Spearmint card stock and stamped the sentiment, from LJD Beautiful Baby, with Steel Gray ink. I cut some Sweet Tooth card stock using Pinking Edge Circle STAX Die-namics, popped that up on foam, and stamped LJD Beautiful Baby Die-namics with the coordinating stamps using Banana Split ink and Spearmint ink and popped them up as well. I finished off by adding a few enamel dots.

Another sentiment from LJD Beautiful Baby was stamped on the inside.




And that’s it! Thanks so much for stopping by today—hope to see you playing the sketch challenge!

Welcome Baby–C4C #183

Happy Saturday, everyone! Today is Crazy 4 Challenges day and KJ has challenged us to make a baby card. Sweet!

My card is CAS and I love it! First I cut out letters spelling “baby” using Die-namics By the Letters. Then, on a Sweet Tooth card stock base, I adhered the pearly flourish and stamped the sentiment, from DC Baby Onesie in Kraft ink. After I popped up the die cut letters it was done!

On in inside I stamped a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental About Babies.

Little Princess–MFTWSC #92

Are you ready for another MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge? Here’s this week’s sketch. You can find the sketch on the MFT blog and also in the MFT forum on SCS, as well as in the weekly newsletter. The Design Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.

We have an adorable young couple up the street that are expecting their first baby in a few weeks. I need a card and this is it :) I’m using Die-namics Baby Onesie Die & Stamp Set for the focal image. I’m using some perfect patterned paper from Alphabet Junction by Carta Bella. I cut the onesie out of solid patterned paper and stamped “Little Princess” on it and then popped it up on a circle element cut with my Die-namics Open Scallop Doily Duo and Die-namics Circle STAX. The vertical element was done with my Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX and and it was finished off with some Maraschino baker’s twine  and a Whip Cream button. I’m using Whip Cream card stock and Gumdrop Green card stock.

Here’s the inside with more sentiments from the set:

Here are the Die-namics dies I used on this card:

And that’s it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

I made a card and a gift tag for my project. I cut my onesie die out and stamped the images, then popped it up on foam. The bottom border was made with my Die-namics Simply Scallops, Medium die and I’m using MFT Hot Fudge and Whip Cream card stock, along with Cappucino Baker’s Twine.

Here’s a close up of the tag. I’m using my Die-namics Traditional Tags STAX for the base.

And, here’s the inside of the card with more images from the set:

It’s a boy! Flourishes Friday Free For All!

Happy Friday! Today is Flourishes Friday Free For All where we show you another card from the recent release and I’m showing you a cutie using Hello Baby! 

I stamped the onesie and the “#1 Baby” on patterned paper and cut it out after shading a little with Copic markers from my

 Warm Neutrals Collection 

After assembling and stitching on my card base and the other elements, I put them together and tied some sweet baker’s twine around and tied on a button. The sentiment was stamped on Classic Ivory card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, cut out with a Nested Lacey Pennant die, and adhered under the button.

And that’s it! I just love this little image and know there will be tons of opportunities to use it.

Now, be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has for you today...

Flourishes April Sneaks, Day Three

Happy Friday! Today I have the third, and final, sneak for Flourishes April release: Hello Baby! Another fabulous set by Marcella Hawley, Hello Baby! will fill all your baby card needs!

Since my card has pink ribbon on it, I guess it’s for a baby girl, LOL! Other than that, though, it could go either way :)

I stamped the image on Classic White card stock with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored it with these Copic collections:

Evergreen Collection:

Robin’s Egg Collection:

Poppy Collection:

Flesh Tones Collection:

Then I cut it out with a Standard Circle Nestabilities die and my Grand Calibur machine, then matted it with a Classic Scalloped Circle Nestabilities die cut. For my base card, I did some stitching, added the ribbon, and popped my focal panel up on foam dots. Then I added the sentiment on some Classic Oval Nestabilities dies cuts and popped that up, as well.
