Oh Baby!

We've had a bit of a baby boom here lately.  Had to send four new baby cards recently.  This was my most recent one, so I thought I'd share it.

Fancy Fan folder for the background matches the pattern on the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper swatch.  I then used the new Window Frames Framelits dies in two shades of pink behind the Duck.

Stamps:  Easy Events, Itty Bitty Banners
Ink: Basic Gray (classic pad), Markers: Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, So Saffron (Summer Starfruit actually works better if you use a blender pen).
Paper: Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Pretty In Pink, Designer Series Paper Twitterpated
Accessories: Big Shot, TIEF Fancy Fan, Framelits Dies: Bitty Banners, Window Frames (Holiday Catalog), Punch: 1-3/4 inch Circle, 3/8" taffeta ribbon Whisper White, Dimensionals.

Another Halloween Card.  Getting set for Halloween Stamping at a stamp club meeting next week.  Here's another fun one.  I like the Mummy with one eye ("Googlie-d" of course).  The Booooo fits in another one of those Bitty Banners Framelits dies (how convenient) and so this card goes together really quickly and easily.

Stamps:  Googly Ghouls
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Tangerine Tango, Jet Black Staz-On
Paper: Very Vanilla, Lucky Limeade, Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, Howlstooth and Scaringbone Designer Series Paper (Holiday Catalog, a personal favorite)
Accessories:  Big Shot, Bitty Banners Framelits Dies, Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies, Large Scallop Edgellits Die, Googlies, Mini Glue Dots, Dimmensionals and SNAIL adhesive (oh my!)

Here's an early Halloween card for inspiration.  Using the cute spider from the Googly Ghouls stamp set in the Holiday Catalog.  The Elegant Eggplant cardstock is run through the Big Shot with the Spider Web Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF from now on!) Then it is rubbed with the Illuminate Pad.  Sponge dauber might work better...I think we'll us it at the next Sassy Meeting. And, of course, the Googlies make their first appearance of the season.  They're in the Holiday Catalog, too and they're adhesive-backed so they go on in a snap.  Enjoy...

Stamps: Wicked Cool,, Googly Ghouls
Ink: Jet Black Staz On, Elegant Eggplant, Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin' Pad.
Paper: Whisper White, Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant, Basic Black
Accessories: Big Shot, TIEF Spider Web, Punches: Decorative Label and Large Oval, Paper Piercing Tool, Whisper White Baker's Twine

Happy fall.  This is a first for me, a photo from my phone.  This one is not very clear, I'm still learning the in's and outs of a "smart phone."  It is cool to have things at your fingertips.  Now if I can just figure out how to actually post from the phone, we are in business.

Thank You!  To all who visit and to all who have waited patiently for me to post again.  Hence the Thank You card.  I will try to take a clearer picture and replace this one.  Here's the recipe:  Enjoy!
