I made these baby cards as I just wanted an excuse to play with the ever so cute Zoo Babies stamp set.
All 3 are based on the same design, a Very Vanilla cardstock base, a layer of Subtles Designer Series Paper (I've used the colours Blushing Bride, Pool Party and So Saffron) a circle die cut from Sahara Sand cardstock and another circle die cut from Very Vanilla cardstock with one of the Zoo Babies animals stamped in Sahara Sand Ink.
I've sponged the edges of the polka dot DSP with Sahara Sand ink and added some Sahara Sand Lace Trim to give it a subtle vintage look.
All 3 cards have different messages - Hello Baby, Welcome Baby and Congratulations. The Hello Baby sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set, the Welcome Baby sentiment is from the And Many More stamp set and the Congratulations sentiment is from the Zoo Babies stamp set. I punched out the sentiments using the Word Window Punch.
They are so cute! I can't wait to give these to new parents. Its so much nicer to receive a handmade card instead of a shop bought card, don't you think?
OMG! I'm so excited, I've just seen sight of the new Spring Summer catalogue AND the Sale-a-Bration catalogue. And let me tell you, I've seen some really great new products - stamp sets, designer series papers, ribbons, punches, tools, embellishments....... I cannot wait to get my pre order in and I am so hoping the mental wishlist I've made comes in under my budget.
But for now, don't forget the Autumn Winter catalogue is still live. Make sure you place an order for anything you've put on your wish list and haven't ordered yet. Now that this catalogue is coming to an end, products will be running out of stock - just yesterday I placed an order for some new Christmas stamp set sets to make some of my personal Christmas cards - I am so pleased I got the order in and the items were in stock as I am sure they will be sold out very soon. Some items will be carried over to the new Spring Summer catalogue, I have seen the retiring list so please do let me know if there is any item you want me to check if its retiring or not.
Remember, if you have any questions at all, just drop me a line by clicking on the social media icons on the right hand side or emailing. Happy crafting and I hope to hear from you soon.

I also just wanted to let you know that from now until the end of the year I'll only be posting projects on Wednesdays & Saturdays. With the festive season fast approaching, I need to cut back on my commitments. As soon as January comes around, I'll be back posting on Monday's again.
Have a great Monday!
Today's card showcases the Home For Christmas DSP, cardstock pack and the Cozy Christmas stamp set. All 3 coordinate together perfectly. I just LOVE how easy Stampin' Up! make it for us to coordinate our handmade makes with matching stamps, DSP, cardstock, ribbon and embellishments.
The coordinating product range is one of the main reasons I signed up as a demonstrator, almost two years ago now. That as well as the amazing discount, access to exclusive sneek peeks of new products and pre-orders, and the opportunity to attend events. Little did I know that I would make some really good friends that also share a passion for all things handmade.
Lots of friends and fellow demonstrators are currently over in Belgium at a Stampin' Up! event. Unfortunatley I wasn't able to go due to commitments at work and a severe lack of annual leave remaining. I can't tell you have envious I am but I cannot wait to hear all about it in the coming weeks.
To cut the centrepieces for these cards, I used the Ovals Collection Framelit Dies (for the card in the picture above) and the 2 1/2" and 2" Circle Punches (for the card in the picture below). Real Red and Mint Macaroon ink and cardstock matched perfectly with the DSP.
All of the stamps used are from the Cozy Christmas stamp set, as you can see in the image below, this set also includes a stamp of one of the little houses you can see in the DSP. I LOVE it! Some of these stamps are also going to be perfect for making tags for Christmas presents. I can't wait to get back into my craft room to give this a go. Unfortunatley that may not be until next week now as tomorrow is the first of two weekends where we will be working on decorating our living room and dining room. I can't say I am looking forward to it as its going to be hard work, but I can't wait to see the end results.
While writing this post, I've heard about the awful news in Paris. My thoughts are with the people of Paris and family and friends of all of those people affected.
