Oh Happy Day...

 

A Baby is on the Way!

 

I love this sentiment, as it can be used for either a boy or a girl

 

Here's my monthly SPOTLIGHT post, as a Design Team member for Kitty Bee Designs

 

I made a little Baby Boy card, using Gello Giraffe Toy image

 

FUN image and perfect for a boy - right?

 

I decided to use primary colors - they are so bright and cheery!

 

My card base is a yellow A2 card with the fold at the top, along the 4.25" edge.  I layered with paper scraps from my stash, working with primary colors - Blue, Yellow and Red

 

The image was colored using the following Copic markers:  Blender, B00, B02, E22, E27, E35, E53, Y08, Y11, Y15

 

Finishing touches for this card includes a sentiment, red brads and yellow tabs.  Quick and easy!

Something Old for Digi Haven

 

Today begins a new fortnight challenge at Digi Haven

 

Our theme is for this challenge...

SOMETHING OLD

The Design Team had fun playing with the toy images from our sponsor - Floppy Latte

You can find them under this section - All Things for Babies/Children

 

My Design Team card for this challenge is this moving parts card...

I have to admit that I have been making this type of card for at least 20 years

I just don't know what they call it now days... back in the day, I don't even know if it had a name?

Maybe someone can enlighten me!

 

I made a BABY BOY card

If you pull on the right hand side of the card, the message swings up from the inside

 

The is a very easy card to make and a lot of FUN to give to someone too!

Let me know if you would be interested in a tutorial

8 x 8 paper pad by October Afternoon - Farmhouse

I printed the images onto a Vanilla cardstock and used Parchment ink to cover the images

This came out really nice and evenly colored - it photographed a little more pink than it really is

I added a bit of color to the images using my Copic markers in BG34, E71, R22, Y17

The images are cut out and layered for depth

I finished the card with patterned paper on the ends, a button and ribbon

 

I hope you enjoyed my card today - make sure to check out the rest of the Design Teams cards

You Color my World

This week at The Cutting Cafe blog it's all about Bow Ties and Ribbon.

We are using the Bow Tie and Ribbon template to create our Design Team projects.

I decided to make a simple card this week.

I hope you like it!

After cutting my Bow Ties out, I sponged around the edges, added black line work.

I used a digi stamp for the sentiment, coloring in the letters with my Copic markers.

Check out our Design Team inspiration and Be Inspired!

From those comments there will be one randomly chosen person to win any 3 sets from the store.

New Baby

A little late with my sharing for the Fussy and Fancy Challenge, Challenge #63, New Baby.  But here it is.  "Oh Happy Day".  My very first card as a DT member at Fussy and Fancy.  Still learning to color with my Copics, but enjoying using them.  I find coloring to be very calming.

To make this card I used pattern paper from a Miss Caroline - Dilly Dally 6 x 6 pad.  All solid card stock is from Close to My Heart.  My sentiment is from Impress and the cute little elephant is Bubba the Elephant from Memory Box.

I used the following Cricut cartridges:  George & Basic Shapes, page 108, <circle>, cutting two 2-1/2" on white.  Cut one in half.  Elegant Edges, page 65 <Flwers-s> cut at 3" on yellow.  Just Because, page 46 <Apple-s> cut two at 5-1/2" in yellow for the scallop edge.  I also cut banners and trimmed the ends with a square punch.

Finishing touches include doodles along edges, hanging the banner on a piece of red/white bakers twine and brads.  Thank you for stopping by today.

So head on over to Fussy and Fancy Challenge and check out all the inspiration from our Design Team.  I hope you will have a chance to play along with us as well.

Thanks for stopping by today.
