Welcome Baby...

I just wanted to share a sweet little baby card I made this week for a friend's shower. I used Authentique papers, my favorite Elephant stamp from Paper Smooches and of course my Copics...

Stuck on U Sketches: sketch #3

Well here we are, on to our 3rd card sketch challenge at Stuck on U Sketches! Today's adorable sketch was created by the lovely and talented Leah Schaeffer. I just love this sketch! I knew exactly what I was going to do with it as soon as I saw it.

  I have had this little elephant punch from Martha Stewart for a long time and I've never used it. When I saw this sketch I knew it was the perfect size. I've made quite a few baby girl cards recently so I decided to make this one for a baby boy.

I added some lace details and a button with a double bow.

 The little word stickers are from Authentique.

 I used my sewing machine to stitch down the stick pin. The 'adorable' sticker is from My Minds Eye.

The papers for the elephants are all from 6x6 paper pads from Authentique. I just love the small pattern sizes in 6x6 pads, they work perfectly for punching out small shapes like this little elephant.

I hope you will play along with our sketch! Link up your creation at SOUS for a chance to be in our Top 3!

Thanks for stopping by today,

I love to read your kind comments

Friends with Flair Friday at Unity

It's Friday and you know what that means! Friends with Flair over at Unity Stamp Co. I have a fun card to share with you today.  I used this photo off of Pinterest as inspiration.

And here is my card...

Supplies used: Patterned paper: Authentique, Crate Paper; Cardstock: Bazzill; Stamps: Unity, {ippity}; Flowers: Prima; Punch: EK Success; Embossing Powder: American Crafts; Embossing Ink: Versamark; Twine: Devine Twine; Misc-brads, buttons, lace ribbon, doily.

 I followed the color scheme in the room, with yellow, white, grey and a touch of black. The striped carpet is in the scalloped strip across the card. I used a dandelion stamp and embossed it with white on grey just like the wall. I added the shiny silver flower and brads to tie in the legs on the chair and the lamp.

The Stamp set I used for the flowers is an {ippity} set called The Simple Things.

When you buy {ippity} stamps through Unity, you have to choose an {ippity} chick. I would love it if you choose Maria Levine! She is awesome:) Her pic is near the bottom of the list of chicks so make sure you scroll down and choose her!

 The flower stamp that I used actually has a straight stem as you can see from the image above, but I attached it to my acrylic block with the stems curved to the left for one flower and to the right for the other flower so I could get them to cross like that.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Have a great weekened! (it's a long one!)

Authentique Sketch Challenge

I really love using a sketch to get started with my cards or scrapbook pages, and It's fun when a sketch is part of a challenge too! Today I am participating in the Authentique sketch challenge.

Here's their sketch...

When I saw this sketch I knew immediately I wanted to use my Moon Beams and Heart Strings stamp set from {ippity} stamps by Unity, and I finally got a chance to dive into my 6x6 Uncommon paper bundle from Authentique.

Supplies used: Patterned Papers: Authentique Uncommon 6x6 bundle; Cardstock: Bazzill; Stamps: {ippity} by Unity; Bakers Twine: The Twinery; Ink: SU, Palette, Paper Punch: Ek Success; Misc: button, dimensional adhesives.

The stamp is quite large so I didn't really have the room to have the hexagon shapes in the background so I substituted the polka dot paper to mimic that design.

So I added a half a hexagon in the upper left corner to make a tag.

I stamped the hearts onto different papers and fussy cut them out before popping them up with dimensional adhesive.  I finished off the card with a little bakers twine bow and the sweet sentiment.

I really like how it turned out. Thanks so much for stopping by.
I appreciate your kind comments.
