Hello Baby

It isn't often that I can combine three of my favorite challenges and come up with a sweet little card.  But, Just Us Girls, CAS(E) this Sketch and The Paper Players challenges worked very well together.

Another thing I don't often do is make baby cards.  I'm not sure why because I loved creating this one.  

Stamp Sets:  Something for Baby, Teeny Tiny Wishes; Inks:  Elegant Eggplant, Smoky Slate, Strawberry Milkshake (Taylored Expressions); Cardstock:  Whisper White, Whisper White Thick; Patterned Paper:  Rainbow Brights 6x6 Pad (Taylored Expressions); Other:  Baby's First Framelits Dies, Boho Chic Embossing Folder, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Freshly Made Sketches #185 and Colour Me...! #70 Challenge Combination

Oh happy day!  I'm going to get to spend the whole day in my craft studio.  In all honesty, it's only because I've messed up my back and mobility is somewhat difficult.  That's what I get for moving things out of the way that are too heavy for me to be moving out of the way!  But, my air conditioner is working again.  I'll also be able to get several projects done that are for upcoming challenges and another Watercooler Blog Hop that starts on May 14th at 8:00 p.m. CDT.

For this card I combined a couple of challenges and love how it turned out.  I recently purchased the Something for Baby stamp set and Baby's First Framelits Dies and have been itching to playing with them.  I am going to be sorry to see Crisp Cantaloupe retire next month.  I'll be showcasing some sneak peek projects in the days to come to show off the new 2015-2017 In Colors.  Be sure to stay tuned.

Stamps:  Label Love, Something for Baby; Ink:  Crisp Cantaloupe; Card Stock:  Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Artisan Label Punch, Baby's First Framelits Dies, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, SNAIL Adhesive, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Stampin' Trimmer

The colors I used are from the Colour Me...! Challenge.

The Friday Mashup! 194

For some reason I rarely have the need to make a baby card so I really enjoyed making this card for the current Friday Mashup Challenge.  The challenge was to make a project with a baby theme or make a project with the colors of aqua, brown and tangerine or mash it up and combine the two.  I mashed it up and really like the way this one came together.  I wanted the focal point to be the cute little brown duck so I framed him with the aqua and orange. 

Stamp Set:  One Tag Fits All; Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento; Blendabilities:  Coastal Cabana; Copic Markers:  E33-Sand, E37-Sepia, YR02-Light Orange, YR07-Cadmium Orange, YR09-Chinese Orange; Card Stock:  Whisper White, Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack; Accessories & Tools:  Coastal Cabana Thick Baker's Twine, Coastal Cabana In Color Sequins, Baked Brown Sugar In Color Sequins, Multipurpose Glue, Glue Dots, Dimensionals

All Stampin' Up!® product unless otherwise noted.

Here is The Friday Mashup! I used for inspiration.
