Moon Baby Girl

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:

This card was inspired by the challenges at Color Throwdown and Try Stampin on Tuesday. (I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to fit my design.)

A woman I sing with in a community chorale just had a baby girl this week so naturally, I had to make a card! Baby cards are my favorite, and I keep coming back to this stamp set. Normally I would have colored the moon with yellow, but since the color challenge did not include that, I improvised with the gray. The moon really is that color anyway! I stamped the image on Smoky Slate cardstock and added some texture with a moon stamp, then fussy cut it and added it to the focal image. The baby is colored with Stampin Blends and I added a little glimmer paper star. I also painted a couple of the embossed stars on the background with Clear Wink of Stella. I think you can see it in the photo below. Also barely noticeable is the Pecan Pie outline on the scalloped label that I created by edging with the brush end of a Stampin Write marker. It adds a bit of definition, along with popping the piece up with dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

 Hello and welcome back! Here's another card for today:

I rotated the sketch at Try Stampin on Tuesday for this card.

When I learned this morning that a friend had given birth to a little boy overnight, I knew what I'd be doing today - making a card, naturally! This is one of my favorite sets for new baby cards. Everything is colored with Stampin' Blends and I added Wink of Stella to the moon and star - I think you can even see it in the photo!

Welcome to the world, little guy!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Welcome Talia!

 Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for a new baby in my extended family.

The design was inspired by the "babies" challenge at As You See It and the die-cutting challenge at SUO Challenges.

This was the first time I've used these Layering Alphabet Dies. They are easier than I thought! The "welcome" was die-cut 4 times and layered to make it stand out. The little "stuffies" are from Moon Baby, and were fussy cut and layered onto Tailor Made Tags that were altered to be a bit shorter.

I made three tags but couldn't fit them all on the front. I didn't want to waste it, so I put it inside! :)

Little Talia came 6 weeks early, and she's tough but could use some prayers. Her big sister is anxiously awaiting her homecoming!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - A Star is Born!

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for a new baby, born to the daughter of my closest friend from back in the day. 

This retired DSP and stamp set is perfect for a new baby. And it's always fun to pull old ribbon and embellishments out of my stash! I love these iridescent stars!
