I used an image from I am not sure...it was a prize I won a long time ago....a bunch of stamped images so if you know who she is..please let me know :)

I had so much fun putting this card together! I used my Cameo to cut the 3D umbrella, and added some 3GJ crinkle ribbon in Baby Blue (from the Baby Bundle), Trendy Twine in Lemon Tart and the sentiment from My Creative Time (Teeny Tag Greetings)

I colored her with my prismacolor pencils (a new addition to my craft room..thanks to my super sweet hubs!!) They are fun to color with and I know with more practice and lots more videos I will improve!

Welcome Little One {PKS Challenge 13~14}

Hi everyone!!

Hope you are having a GREAT hump day!

I spent the morning with my car at the shop for the routine oil change and tire rotation :(

But I was able to finish my card for this week's 

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge: Just Cards: Siblings

I have several friends and a few family members that will be welcoming babies to their families and thought this would be a cute card to have an older sibling give to the new baby.

I hope you like it!

I am not one to make many shaped cards but remembered that I had the adorable SVG Cuts files~Bundle of Joy which has this cute bottle shaped card. I cut all the pieces out with my Cameo using kraft cardstock (The Kraft Outlet) ,Bazzil cardstock and designer paper from Up Up and Away (First Edition Paper)

The baby was a new file I just purchased from the Silhouette Store HERE and I added my face from PK~491 Everyday Character Faces. Of course I could not leave out the white gel pen eyes, pink chalk cheeks and freckles :)

The tag, along with the sentiment is from The Alley Way Stamps (Tag~Alongs and Tiny Treasures) and I ended up using the sewing machine to add some stitching (surprised????)

Finished it up by adding some 3GJ crinkle ribbon in Baby Boy and Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine .

So what do you think????

Thanks for stopping in today and have a GREAT rest of the day!!!

Good Morning Everyone!!

It is my DT day over at The Alley Way Stamps and I have a card to share using one of the new release stamp sets for this month.

If you have not checked out April new release you can do so HERE!

They are AWESOME!!!

So for my CAS card I used the new set

Wish Big

and came up with this.....

I just LOVE this stamp set! The images are awesome and those sentiments are perfect for putting together a quick and easy birthday card!

I used Lunch Bag Kraft cardstock from The Kraft Journal and designer paper from Basic Grey~ Shine on Paper Pack. After stamping the adorable present on the polka dot paper and then again on the red paper I cut both images out and glued the bow in place. I ran my mat through my sewing machine for the border and attached some SU bling to the corners and the bow. The sentiment was stamped using Brilliance Graphite Black ink and the present was popped up using foam dots.

CAS with a splash of color pop!

Well that is all I have for you this morning!

Hope you all have a GREAT day and thanks so much for stopping by!!

Now onto my project.....
(picture my treat box filled with flower seeds.....I didn't have any on hand when photographing my project)

I made a a flower card/gift box using the adorable freebie file Ruthie over at September Ninth shared at Christmas time~ here is the link to her original post~thanks Ruthie!!!

I started out with the The Kraft Outlet kraft cardstock and designer papers from My Minds Eye~ Playdate paper stack. After all the pieces were cut and adhered to the card base, I ran the side , card/tag part through my sewing machine. Couldn't help it...love the way the stitching looks :)

The sentiment is from My Creative Time~Hello Spring stamp set and I added some yellow stickles to that as well as the yellow brad

Next it was onto making my flower.....this is a total scrap lift from my friend Deb..she made a GREAT tutorial on how to make these twine flowers...you can check it out HERE she uses the "other" twine...LOL...but this gorgeous flower is using Lemon Tart Trendy Twine.

I added a button to the center using the new stitched button dies from My Creative Time.

The stem is part of the flower cut from Miss Kate Cuttables~ doesn't it look GREAT with that twine flower top???

Finally here is what the tag looks like...plenty of room to write a message. I couldn't leave it plain so I stamped another sentiment from My Creative Time~ Bloom Where You are Planted stamp set and then added some yellow stickles.

What do you think????

Now don't forget to check out what the rest of the Design Team has created today

over on the Trendy Twine Blog!

I would LOVE to see you play along in our challenge
