Baby Boy Card

Another friend from HS just had her first little boy last week.  He is hairy, and oh so cute!  I love hairy babies--I only had one out of six with hair that really mattered.  He looked like the Hobbit at birth, but I digress...I made a set of cards for this friend (whose son does NOT look like the Hobbit), so she could use them however she likes.  The inside is blank.  Enjoy!
My daughter was very concerned that I would forget to cut out the tail when I was paper-piecing, but then I showed her the magic of stamping the image on the white paper first.  She was duly impressed.
Paper: PTI White, Spring Rain, Pure Poppy, Bitty Dot Basics, SU Kraft
Ink: SU Chocolate Chip, Real Red
Stamps: PTI Bitty Baby Blessings
Other: PTI Fresh Snow twill, SU scallop punch

    Very cute! Love the paper piecing! Hmm, i looked like a rooster (or a very "cool" kid with a mohawk) when I was born... both my brother and I did... think it runs in the family. They spent a whole hour trying to comb my little mohawk down in time for the baby pics... high maintence for me started at a young age ;-)

Lil' Inker Designs Mini Release Blog Hop

Hello, friends!  So glad you're here, hopping with us.  (Go here  to see the full blog hop order.)  I am excited to show you this brand new stamp from Lil' Inker Designs , which is part of their May Mini Release.  Leave comments on any of the blogs in this hop to enter to win one of the new stamp sets, the new cover plate, or the angel pets goodies!  Details on the Lil' Inker Designs Blog . This stamp is called Never Regret Being Kind. (Keep hopping, and you'll see more!) One of the things I love most about this hobby is that it is inherently kind.  So what could be better than a stamp that encourages even more kindness?  Such a great sentiment! This stamp is easy to use as the focal point of a card...so easy, in fact, that I made 4 right out of the gate!  Each one uses a different technique--this stamp is so versatile. For my first, I heat embossed the sentiment in white on steel grey cardstock.  I then colored over the...

February Blog Hop

For this month's Hop, we are to pay homage to a member of PTI's Design Team. They are all so very talented! I chose a recent project by the amazing Debbie Olson . I loved her simple design with white embossed violets on Raspberry Fizz, with a few little details sprinkled in--sparkly centers, a scored edge and rounded corners. Just beautiful! I actually copied this card exactly, because it was so easy, but then I decided to change it up a bit. Here is my version in Enchanted Evening, with the smaller flowers. I didn't have the right color buttons, so I made a little fancy ribbon edge. The sparkles are flat rhinestone stickers. Best $1.99 I've spent in a while! Thanks for the inspiration, Debbie! Paper: PTI White, Enchanted Evening Ink: PTI Enchanted Evening, Versamark Stamps: PTI Year of Flowers: Violets Other: Filigree White Embossing Powder, PTI EE twill ribbon, flat rhinestone stickers, corner rounder

PTI January '13 Blog Hop

This month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop challenge is to use black backgrounds.  I had so much fun with this, I gave myself a crick in my neck!  We must suffer for our art, mustn't we?   I heat embossed this repeated Fancy Folk Art image in white, then colored over each line with Copic markers.  I love the bright effect this technique gives--I think I'll be doing this again! Paper: PTI True Black, Lemon Tart (for card base), Pure Poppy Ink: Versamark, Copic Markers Stamps: PTI Fancy Folk Art, Fillable Frames Sentiments Other: White Filigree embossing powder, PTI Harvest Gold grosgrain ribbon, Framed Out die, dimensional tape
