Baby Card

This week at  The Cuttlebug Spot we were challenged to make baby cards. I have recently purchased the some new embossing folders at Michael's along with my new Martha Stewart punches so I decided to put them together for this card.  The frame and matting labels are cuts from Lacy Labels Lite cart.

Be sure to go over to the blog to see more great baby creations.

Just Rite challenge 028: a picture is worth a thousand words

Well it's that time again, JustRite project. This time the challenge at the JustRite blog was to use a picture in our project. Well my 2 month old nephew is such a cutie that I had to use his picture as the focal point on my card. I think this would make a great birth announcement. What do you think?

For this one I embossed the background paper with feet and hands quickutz embossing plate. I then stamped the outside border with my JustRite Baby Ensemble 2 1/4 x 3 1/16 . I cut the outer border and inner oval with my nestabilities.  The border at the bottom is a punched out with my Stampin Up scalloped  border punch. I used JustRite Times Roman font and set them on my horizontal wood stamper to stamp his name.  The safety pins are paper punched from Martha Stewart.

I really thought this time I was going to miss the challenge since we are leaving for vacation on Saturday, I'm so glad I got the chance to squeeze this one in. Enjoy.

Baby Shower

This week at The Cuttlebug Spot we are making invitations. I have the shower bees Stampendous stamp so I had to make a baby shower invitation. For the back ground I embossed and inked a Fiskars rain drop plate. I love the effect I got with this method. It was a perfect background. The stamped image is colored with my copics. As always thank you for visiting my blog. Please leave a comment if you would like.
