Itty Bitty Baby 3 ways

At a recent trip to Goodwill I picked up a pack of these cute clothespins.  I made this first card in yellow without the words.  The space above the clothesline was empty, but it was too late to stamp on it.  I couldn't stamp on it because I had popped the cardstock up to make room for the clothespins.  The surface was uneven and the congratulations never would have come out evenly.  So I put in a Congrats die cut from Cuttlebug.  I thought it was cute.

Then enter my good friend Beth.  Her insight was that I should have made the card pink instead of yellow.  That would be because she has a granddaughter and another on the way (I am not sure if it is a boy or a girl).  I am NOT one to back down from a challenge!  Pink it is!

Ahh, there we have it in all of it's pink glory!  What about the boys, you may ask?  I am not one to leave a task undone.  The next one is for the boys.

The size of these cards is 4 1/2 X 7 1/2.  These cards are far too bulky to go in an envelope. I could make them whatever size I wanted because I don't need to make a matching envelope.  These cards are what I like to call "give me cards."  You can not put them in an envelope and you couldn't easily mail it so you must "give it" to the recipient.

The stamps used are Itty Bitty Baby and Sassy Salutations from Stampin' Up.  Have a fantastically creative day! - Heidi.

A tissue box card

I posted previously that inspiration is all around us.  I was inspired by a tissue box!

I was going to emboss the design, but instead ended up tracing the design with a Sakura jelly pen.  It could be better, but it's not too bad. - Heidi

Playing Catch-up

I have graduated, had my annual rummage sale and I start my new job tomorrow.  I have been creating - just not sharing.

The above card uses Wetlands stamp set.  I think this may be my favorite set right now.  I found this Aqua Mist DSP from Papertrey that matches Coastal Cabana perfectly.  I love it when that happens!

Went to Archiver's and they were having a sale on Washi tapes.  They were also clearing out this stamp.  Love them together!

These two cards use a Hero Arts stamp I picked up at Archiver's also.  Wingo Zingo with some washi tape, a button and some found ribbon that matches Certainly Celery.  The words are Sweet Essentials.

I scored the Wolf set from shopgoodwill.com.  I got a bunch of alphabets and numbers I didn't want, but hey it was under $30.00!  Love this stamp and I am going to add it to my permanent collection.

Hope you enjoyed!  Keep stamping and creating - Heidi.
