Congratulations baby set of drawers

Another baby was born into the world last week so I had the need to make a Congratulations and welcome new baby card for his parents.
I chose Baja Breeze cardstock and ink and not a lot else, colourwise.

 The effect of a set of drawers is deceptively simple.
Just an A frame card with 2 long rectangles and 2 short rectangles for the two top drawers.
Lots of sponging on all layers and a baby onesie (shirt) made out of a tag punch.
 Here's a close up of the little baby suit. I hand drew the clothes hanger and stamped the welcome baby tag from the FREE Sale-a-bration set: Punch Bunch.

The little heart is stamped and punched with the gorgeous "Itty bitty" stampset and matching tiny itty bitty circle punch.

 The itty bitty stampset also coordinates with a set of the cutest clear buttons and I have glue dotted a round button on top of the heart. Everything is raised on dimensional adhesive to get that 3 D effect of the little suit hanging off the drawer and the drawers slightly open.

So there it is, the cutest little set of 3D drawers ...
The Congratulations is from the Well scripted stampset (Summer mini) and the "legs" have been created using the curly label punch.

Square scallop card with Presto patterned paper Sponging.

I am back to share with you these cards we made on the weekend.

Now you probably guessed my favourite colour is

 Concord Crush: a deep blue-purple.

The colour of dark purple irises, water lilies and some purple daisies.

*        *        *

We used the gorgeous and amazing presto patterned paper to make this card.

The presto pattern is white on white designed to be sponged or brayered with ink to reveal the pattern embossed on the surface.

It comes in a pack of 12 sheets (30.5cm x 30.5 cm square). And you get two each of six different patterns.

We used three colours to sponge the background:

Pear Pizzazz, Marina Mist and a swipe of Concord crush around the edges.

  With a layer of white cardstock placed on a card made from the Big shots Square Scallop die.

The centre of the card is made with more scallops!

This time with two of my favourite punches.

The Scallop circle punch (4.4 cm) and the larger Scallop circle (6 cm), which is new in this Summer mini catalogue. They almost look like a water lily floating on a blue green pond.

*             *             *

The words from the "well scripted" stampset fitted nicely onto our smaller scallop circle punch. 

There are words for Easter, Wonderful mother, Dear father, Love you and Congratulations - which kind of covers a card for everyone in the family.

Hope you enjoyed the workshop Sophie!

Aviary owl hanging under Pendant Park?

 Now if you've had a chance to look through your Summer Mini catalogue you will recognise quite a few of the stamps and products I have used on this card.
Aviary (page 13) Its the cutest little stampset of birds and curly cages to set your creative heart a flutter. I have hung my owl in his cage from a ribbon from the Pendant Park tree. Then for a background I'vw wheeled the musical notes... with a basic black ink cartridge it is extremely useful for adding music to wrapping paper, cards and scrapbook pages ...
I know owls aren't that musical (think Mo-poke) but she is cute.

Happy Birthday is also a new stampset called "Well scripted" on page 18 of the Summer mini.
But what's that curly edging around the the whisper white - is it a scallop square?

You will see a lot more of this BigZ clear die. Because it has a clear top! which makes it easy to see what you're cutting, so you can position your material for the perfect cut be it a photo, patterned paper or stamped image. You can even determine the number of scallops of your square.
