Just A Reminder

Good morning all!

We are now just over half-way through our sketch challenge.  There is still plenty of time to enter.  This is the card I made for the challenge.

I just love this stamp.  It's called "Carousel Horse" (G339) and I have paired it with the sentiment "Heaven Sent" (B221).  On the inside I have added the sentiment "New Little Baby" (C434).  It's a wonderful sentiment to add for a baby card.  

My niece is about to have a little boy so I have baby on the brain...LOL.  

I would love to see you join in the Great Impressions February Challenge.  As you can see I have flipped the sketch.  

This is the prize you can win.  It's so adorable!

Hope you have had a wonderful month so far and enjoyed much happiness on Valentine's Day!

Lots of Hugs,

Robin

Baby Shower Gifts ...

Good morning! Ruza here to share the Baby Shower Gifts I recently made featuring the Baby Bassinet (H227), Being You Sentiment (D509), and the New Little Baby Sentiment (C434) from Great Impressions Stamps.

Whenever I am invited to a Shower, Baby or Bridal, I always give A1 Thank You cards as one of my gifts. As we all know, Thank You cards are a necessity for any of these events.

I mass produced a set of 30 Thank You cards for a baby girl. I cut 30 pieces of Classic Natural White cardstock into panels, stamped the lovely Baby Bassinet and part of the Being You Sentiment, which I cut up, with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored only the ribbon on each Baby Bassinet and then layered the panel on Pink cards that I cut to size for A1 cards (3-1/2" x 5"). I made coordinating envelopes for each card by stamping a portion of the Baby Bassinet on Natural White Envelopes, once again coloring only the ribbon on each.

Next up is the Bookmark I made to attach to the Diaper Raffle. Why a bookmark you ask? The recipient wanted books to read to her baby instead of receiving a card with each gift. 

I continued the design for the Bookmark using the Baby Bassinet, and adding the New Little Baby Sentiment under the image. 

You may be wondering what I meant about cutting the Being You Sentiment.  Since the stamps are cushioned red rubber stamps they are very easy to cut apart, and then line them back up to use as they are designed. Here is what the original stamp looks like, without the background effects. 

A NEW Great Impressions Challenge went live Sunday. Make you stop by for all of the details, and if you use some Great Impressions Stamps make sure you link them up in our Customer Gallery!

Until next week ... Enjoy!

Little new baby

Hello friends! Today I want to show you a baby card I made for a friend from church who is having a baby girl any minute. I think this card is super cute!  First, I stamped the image on Ivory cardstock in Memento Tuxedo black, then I paper pieced the little baby clothes, colored the clothesline with a Prismacolor pencil and added little dots with Ruby Red Liquid Pearls. I matted the panels and added stitches. Added a big satin bow and a paper flower.

These are the images I used:

• Baby Button Clothesline 
• New Little Baby

Hope you like it!
Happy Monday and Happy Crafting!
