Milk Carton for New Grandson

I made this little milk carton to give out to everyone after my daughter's baby was born in lieu of cigars. It's filled with blue and white M&Ms.  I used the SU milk carton die with my new Big Shot and it worked like a dream.  I used red sticky tape to seal up the carton and then added a strip of Baja Breeze Prints DSP all around the carton and used red sticky tape to secure that as well. I stamped a little red car and filled in the headlights with some silver rhinestones. The backside has his name and birthdate handwritten with a few red stars below.  I tied some Pool Party Baker's twine around a clip which I've had for years and which matched to perfection.  Hope everyone enjoys this little treat!

Supplies:

Stamps: Little Hot Rod (PTI), So Many Sayings (SU)

Paper: Kraft, white, Baja Breeze Prints DSP

Ink: Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze, Black

Accessories: Clip (unknown source), Pool Party Baker's twine, Silver rhinestones (Recollections)

Tools: Milk Carton die (SU)

It's A Boy

My daughter is expecting her first child and our first grandchild.  She found out yesterday that it's a boy. As we have 2 girls my husband is really excited at the prospect of a male grandchild coming in February!  Here is the card I sent to her.

I started with this week's iSpy sketch (ISSC33).  I also wanted to use boy colors so the CR84FN63 challenge fit perfectly.  I stamped the main image on white and used markers in Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake and Bashful Blue to color it in.  I die cut it out with Nestability ovals. I also spritzed some Bashful Blue onto the oval thinking it might make it look a bit like an egg :-)    I found some retired SU paper called Spring Showers that had both the BB & CC so I cut out 3 strips (3/4" x 3-3/4") and then popped up on the chicken image on dimensionals. The longer blue strip is from the same DSP.  I used just a part of the stamp "So Many Sayings" for the sentiment and punched it out with the Modern Label punch then added a couple brads. This is all mounted on a piece of white that I ran through my Cuttlebug with the PTI chicken wire impression plate. That's it.  I hope my daughter and SIL like the card!  

A closer look at the chicken wire impression.

New Baby Boy

Today I made a baby card for a family at church - a boy. It's a case from this card on SCS which is apparently a case of a card by Wendy Janson. Cute ideas just keep going on and on!

The base is Ballet Blue which is a SU retired color. The next 3 layers are white (4 x 4-1/4"), Ballet Blue (3-3/4 x 4"), and white again (3-5/8 x 3-7/8"). The 3 colored strips (1-1/8 x 3-3/8") are Bashful Blue, Ballet Blue and Night of Navy. I ran these through my Cuttlebug using the dots folder. 5/8" Ballet Blue grosgrain ribbon is tied around this whole thing.  I stamped the baby booties from the Baby Bundle stamp set and punched it out with a 1" circle punch popped it up on a larger circle of Ballet Blue. This is on a white scalloped circle which is pierced on each scallop with my paper piercer. Now that I have the dimensions I think this will be a pretty quick card to replicate in different colors for different occasions.  - p.s. I forgot to mention that I rounded the corners on the right side with a corner rounder punch :-)

Welcome Baby

I made this card for our music pastor's wife who had a baby this week. I CASE'd the layout from a card by my daughter (brierrose on SCS).

The cute little jammies were stamped in black using Versafine ink and then colored with Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo markers.  I put a wash of Barely Banana around the outside of the jammies. The hanger is colored in with Creamy Caramel.  I used Nestabilities for the circles. A couple of brads in the corner and some Baker's Twine wrapped up the card.
