Bundle of Joy

Hi Everyone!  I have a sweet baby card to share today.

I started with a circular sketch

and here's my take on it...

 I used Birthday Bash for the card base at 5".  The circle layer was also cut from Birthday Bash.  I just eyeballed the size of the rectangles till I liked how it looked and rounded the corners. The solid pink rectangle I ran through the cuddlebug with the polka dot embossing folder.  The banner was cut from the Artiste cartridge and the moon and stars are from the Baby Shower cartridge.  The pattern papers are from the DCWV stack Nana's Nursery, Baby Girl.  Cardstock colors used are Blush, Buttercup, White Daisy and Slate.  The sentiment is a mini clear stamp I picked up at Joann's and I used Slate ink.  I added clear glitter glue to the stars and the ribbon and button are from my stash.

For the inside, I cut two more circles from the Birthday Bash cartridge.  One in Blush and one in White Daisy.  I picked up the sentiment stamp from an Ebay Store called PrairiePeddler.  The stars are from the CTMH set called Glory to God.  I  stamped the sentiment in Slate and the stars in Buttercup.

Hope you all are having a wonderful day!!

Babies are a Blessing

Hi everyone!  Sorry I've been MIA the last week.  I've been busy with work and getting my home back in order and getting back into a school schedule and routine.  I'm working on getting a weekly cleaning schedule together that I can actually stick to and not be so overwhelmed on the weekends.  I'm also working on a chore chart for Max.  I'll have that project posted soon.

For today I have a baby card to share.  I love working on baby projects, probably my favorite things to make!

 

 



All the papers are from my scraps - you would think with as many projects I've done with my scraps lately the pile would be going down, but not so much!  I used Paper Doll Dress Up for the moon and stars cut a 3 1/2".  The marquee is from Storybook - I think!  And I used CCR to size it to fit my sentiment.  The sentiment is from a Fiskars stamp set called Precious Baby.

 



The teddy bear is cut from Christmas solutions at 1 3/4" and I went over the lines in the cut with a brown fine tip marker.  I also added glitter to the stars.

I added a few rhinestones to finish it off.  This is one of my favorite cards ever!  Hope you all enjoy!
Have a wonderful upcoming week!!!

Baby Shower

Hi everyone!  Over the weekend I was busy with something a little different.  I was asked to make a baby bottom cake for a boy baby shower.  These are so much fun!

The bottom  is a one layer 12" chocolate cake, iced and covered with white fondant.  The baby bottom is made from a 6" dome cake.  The legs and feet are made from rice krispie treats, iced and covered with flesh colored fondant.  The blanket is a piece of blue fondant and I ran my pizza cutter over it to make the quilted lines.  The border is blue and brown balls of fondant that were flattened.

The baby's name was added to the top.  I usually put the parents name on the side of the cake, but with this being only 1 layer, no filling I didn't have the room.  So I went to my trusty cricut and cut out sign using the Storybook cartride and ran it through my printer to get the sentiment centered on there.  The little rattle is from Cricut Sampler and the teddy bear is from the Christmas Solutions cartridge. 

This was the second baby bottom cake I've done, the first was for a girl shower.

I think these are the most adorable cakes! 

  I'll be back tomorrow with a card I made using the CTMH Chantilly papers again.  I hope you all have a wonderful day!!
