Baby Card

I attend a card club that meets up once a month at the local scrapbook store. Although the group is much larger, there are usually only a half dozen of us each time. Participants vary depending on their commitments...it really is a no pressure craft meetup. We take turns designing a card and creating kits for the others. It really can be a lot of fun.

We made Tattered Lace die cut baby cards and our "teacher" kindly cut a pink and a blue one for each of us.  I decided to use them as toppers once I was home.

I cut the embossed blue card front down, matted it and placed that topper onto a snippet of coordinating DP. I believe the EF used was called Dotted Swiss. The baby buggy was cut from the resulting snippet of the blue cardstock. The sentiment is a rub on  from my stash. I think it was originally part of a kit from the crafts only dollar store near my old house. It is several years old to felt good to use it!

I toyed with the idea of adding two large rhinestones to the center of the wheels.  On second thought, I decided it would make the card to thick to mail at regular postage. Decided to shelve that idea till I knew whether this was to be a hand delivered card or one that required mailing!

A very simple card but one that lets the beauty of those Tattered Lace dies shine through.

Christmas Card Club - Card for someone special

Time for my Christmas Card Club creation. Zoe has chosen the theme of  "A Card For Someone Special".  My card will be for my Grandson.

Here is another card from my Wellington Bear Decoupage kit. This was a very quick make as once I had the topper finished, I had but to rummage through my bits files for the rest!

Old:
The plaid mat is cut from a 5x7 card set bought after Christmas at Michaels (a couple of years ago)
The dark green edging mat is from some snippets of scrapbook DP...Very, very old...VOS in fact...
The damask embossed read card mat and kraft edging was already assembled in my bits box...left overs from a card class years ago.
The fine jute twine is a favourite of mine as it is fine enough to tie into a bow and yet still slide trough regular postage. I always try to have a supply on hand.
The decoupaged bear, the edges of the topper and the kraft mat were given a liberal coating of Stardust Stickles...Sadly, it was the last drop of this bottle of stickels. I think I see a shopping trip in the very near future! Here is a bit of a closeup...

New:
The Wellington Bear decoupage image, the wee inside topper and the sentiment, are all from a new card kit package purchased just before Christmas at my local papercrafts store. Such fun to open that package!
The twine is new...finally ran out of my old supply of it.
