For A Baby Boy

It has been a very long time since I posted any projects.  I've had a busy summer but now life has slowed down and I'm able to get back to creating again.  I also moved my craft room into a bigger space and its organized.  I also have more workspace. Today I have a card that I made for a good friend of mine who just had a baby boy.  This is her first baby so I wanted to make a special card for her and her family. 

I used the Teddy and Trains stamp set from Stampin' Up!.  I love the softness of the images.  The teddy bear looks so cuddly. The images are stamped in Versamark and coloured with Stampin' pastels.  Pastels are perfect for baby cards as they are soft.  

To keep the card boyish, I used boy colors.  The colors are Brilliant Blue, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz, Baja Breeze and Marina Mist.  

I used the side step fold for this card.  You can find the tutorial for this fold on Splitcoaststampers.

I hope you have enjoyed this card as much as I did making it.

Take care and until next time,

Kristy

New Baby

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.  I've been away because I had a baby.  My due date was November 18th, but the baby didn't arrive until November 28th.  During those 10 days I was occupied with getting some last minute things done around the house and finishing my Christmas cards.  I actually finished my cards the same day that my water broke.  Anyways, since the baby arrived, I've been busy being a new mom.  I did have a few cards made prior to the arrival, so I will share them with you.

For those of you that might be wondering, I had a baby boy.  His name is Caius Alexander and he was 7 lbs, 4 oz.  And he's a sweetie.


In honor of the new arrival, I have a couple baby cards.

This is a pocket card that I made as a baby announcement card.  I will be slipping a picture of the little man with his birth informaiton into the pocket.  I made these prior to his arrival, so I picked gender neutral colors. 

This is a super simple and sweet card that's perfect as a Congratulations card.

This card uses the same layout as the previous card, but I tweaked it a little.  I added more layers and a tag.  

I used the Soft Subtle DSP for all three cards and I also used cardstock from the Soft Subtle family.

I used the following stamp sets:
                 Teddy and Trains
                 Animal Stories
                 Introducing  (retired)

These stamps are perfect for all baby related projects.  I will be using them when I make a scrapbook of my baby.


Take care and Merry Christmas
