A baby entering the world is always a treat! I made this card for a customer and I am proud to say a dear cyber friend….and I just wanted to share this with you as it is a keeper and I thought that it turned out super cute.
You know that I love using up scraps and I hope that I can inspire you to PULL OUT WHAT YOU HAVE.…and make some of these great strips!
I bet that you are thinking that this must be super hard and time consuming to do but it is “quite the contrary” ….so let me share with you how easy it is to make. You know that I adore STICK IT – click here for the link at amazon.
All I did was to cut 1/4″ strips of paper from the Sweet Lil Things DSP pack. I took a piece of Stick It and exposed the one side…laid my strips down and presto – it is coming together! If you do not have this product you could easily do it the old fashion way by just adhering your strips down with adhesive but using the Stick It makes it go SUPER FAST!!!!
For the focal part…a simple POP of the 2 1/2″ circle bunch and then run trough the big shot with the embossing folder made a simple circle come to life in a jif! Darn, I forget about using embossing folders and when I do – I just love the effect!
The sweet little onesie was cut from the Babies 1st Framelits and then Stamped with the sentiment form A Dozen Thoughts. You know that I have used this stamp set a TON and I hightly recommend it for your stash as it is a keeper one, filled with great sentiments and FUN FONTS!
I think that you can see that this card is one that you can see that you could adapt for many different themes. I can see a fun border and then a super simple “thanks” or “hello” framelit sentiment across the middle…PRESTO = DONE!!!!!
Maybe I will do another card like this one day and use a good old regular A-2 card base so you can see that you can easily adapt this to a different card size without having to pay extra postage!
Here is the low down for you! This is a layout that you need to keep in your brain!!!! This is what I call a keeper…I adore square cards and I think that this is a super sweet card to send wishes of a new bundle of love!
You know how I adore making my own envelopes…today is no different. The envelope punch board makes life so easy and there is nothing like a special and odd size card to be waiting for you.
The DSP of the sweet little critters set the FUN stage for the card. This is a great way to use up the DSP that you have around…and I KNOW YOU HAVE IT!!!!
Well my friends….what do you think? I thought it was simple, cute and did the trick. Just my kind of card! It is hard to believe that tomorrow is the last day for Sale~a~bration. Double check if you need anything….remember to use the hostess code on the top right of this post and I will send you a goodie and with a $50.00 order you will be able to pick a FREE SAB item!
This IS the best time of the year with Stampin’ Up! for deals of freebies but the BEST deal is the ULTIMATE BUNDLE….that is YOUR custom pick of $155 worth of any Stampin’ Up! Product and only pay $99 and it ships for free (another perk of saving $15.50) Paying shipping makes me grumpy!!!!!
Stampin’ Up! has over 97% of the demonstrators being hobbiest……that is great and trust me….we already know we love our products so why not be able to take advantage of a deal….that is just what it is nothing more – nothing less!
With the new catalog being unveiled soon….just think ~ you would be able to pre-order the NEW products….get them at a 20% discount….it is that simple ~ PERIOD!
I have had people take advantage of this deal and fill their kit with a ton of thick white cardstock….paper they use….envelopes….adhesives….dimensionals….punches they do not have……and they are soooo happy! It really is that simple and if you want to chat…..please email me!
The best thing I can say is…there is no OBLIGATION for you to do anything with your kit except enjoy it and the are no EXPECTATIONS for you to do anything with Stampin’ Up! if that is not in the cards for you.
I love a deal….I love to save money when I can…this is why I started with Stampin’ Up! but it was MY CHOICE to take it to where I am now….this card is a perfect example of the friends I have met on this journey. Maureen is a cyber friend that shared with me that she was expecting a grandchild…I love what I do!!!!
Hi Susan, I was worried about you. This card is very cute. I did forget about the “Stick It”. My friend gave me some and I’ll be darned if I can find it. My mission for today!
🙂
Really cute card today, Susan. The recipient will definitely enjoy it. I got a package of Stick It and LOVE it!! I like this new-to-me idea of how to use it. It definitely makes it easy to do an inlaid rose as you showed us recently. I just love that rose. Have a great day.
So, so, sweet! Fun border too…very simple, but clever.
Thanks so much for this adorable baby card. So thoughtful of you Susan.
I love the techniques you show us. Most of them are super simple but look like we spent hours creating….I think simplicity can make creating more enjoyable. Simple = less frustration.
I like the layout for this card. I can imagine using this layout for many different occasions. The details you used make this card an adorable baby card!!
Thumbs up on this one!!!! Love when you mentioned all these great tips and products… soooo appreciated!
Congrats to your friend! Love the layout. This is one adorable card and I am sure it will put a smile on her face as well as the love that comes with it!
Fun card. Love that border – just so different for this type of card. The envelope is the most fun! This is a keeper for the baby book or do they even do that any more? I guess it would be a scrapbook now. I think they could make a fun page featuring your card and envelope!
