A Gift for Baby

 Spring is coming and we all know what that means...babies!!!  I have had a run of baby showers in the past few months and they just keep coming!  I've been trying to make sure I have a good stock of baby cards on hands as the babies just keep coming :)  And since I'm always a slacker when it comes to buying gifts, I always take the easy way out and get a gift card, which always needs to be wrapped up in a cute way! 

The girls over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration are sharing some fun gift card ideas today and I am here with mine.

I have a crazy amount of these fun Chevron Bags and the Gift Card Enclosures, so I thought...why not put them together?!?!

The Gift Card Enclosure is held shut with this adorable little belly band, inspired by the one and only Shelli.  She shared an adorable card at Leadership 2015 with this cute little baby bumblebee all swaddled up...love!

And of course I had to make an equally adorable card to go inside of the bag!!!  I will be making some more of these gift card holders for sure!

 Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey, Whisper White, Sweet Dreams DSP

Ink ~ Memento, Blendabilities: Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate, Skin Tones, Calypso Coral

Hello, Baby

'Tis the season for babies!!!  I have gone to two baby showers in the past two weeks and have two more to go in the next few weeks!  While we are done with babies at our house, I love snuggling with everyone else's new little bundles!

Yesterday we attended as shower for one of our fire family members, who are expecting their first baby {boy} in just a few weeks.  I can't wait to meet him!

Supplies Used:

I've been on a bit of a washi tape kick lately...figured I needed to stop just collecting it and actually USE it!  And this washi is so super cute!!!

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello Baby ~ FM192

Happy Friday friends!!!  It's time for a new challenge over at Friday Mashup!  This week's challenge is to use the Embossing Folder Stamping Technique, a fun and different way to use your favorite embossing folder!  We are mashing this up with the addition of some mixed match shapes on your project!  So break out your favorite embossing folders and punches and/or framelit and get creative!

I used the Decorative Dots Embossing folder to create the "dotty" background paper.  All you have to do is ink your embossing folder up on the raised side of the folder, sandwich your paper in between and press down...you end up with a fun stamped image from the folder!  You can also run the inked up embossing folder through your Big Shot for even more fun!  I mashed things up with some hearts, clouds and word bubbles...perfect for this adorable new stamp set!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White, Sweet Dreams DSP

Ink ~ Hello Honey, Crisp Cantaloupe, Lost Lagoon, Basic Gray

Stamp Set ~ Little Sunshine

Other Supplies ~ Cupcake Builder Punch, Sweetheart Punch, Word Bubbles Framelits, Itty Bitty Punch Pack (heart), Decorative Dots Embossing Folder

 

This card is going to a very dear friend as she anxiously awaits her second baby girl, due next month...I can't wait to love on a new baby!!!

 

Be sure to join us and play along!  We love to see what you create!

 

Happy Stamping!!
