Lots and lots of babies!

Here are some baby cards that I made last year and some more recent ones. I love using the MFT baby bib die (as you can see). 











Thanks for looking... have a great day!

It's been a while between drinks... I mean posts!





Cards made using My Favorite things Hibiscus die with assorted Kaisercraft papers, some gems and a Stampin' Up sentiment. I cased this card from Simply Handmade by Heather.

Dainty Flowers Dies

I love these Dainty Flowers dies from Paper Smooches.
I cut the flowers on the first card from cardstock that I had watercoloured using my Inktense pencils.
I used the Happy Hellos Dienamics from My Favorite Things for the sentiment.

Flowers Galore

Here are some cards made using the Twiggy Florets stamp set by Paper Smooches.

Happy Birthday Dude

These cards were made using the Paper Smooches Teen Routine set along with their Sentiment Sampler and Little Fella sets for the sentiments.
 
I coloured the images with Derwent Inktense pencils and added some coloured pearls for the buttons. I realise they aren't exactly like a Playstation controller has but I think they look okay!
 
I used Echo Park Dots and Stripes  and Kaisercraft Rewind collection patterned paper.
 
Here's a close up...

My boy graduated from primary school in December so I made him this card using the Grad Ian digi and the Oh Boy Ian image from The Greeting Farm.
I used copics to colour him. The sentiments are from Paper Smooches and My Favorite Things. Patterned paper from Kaisercraft and a photograph of the school uniform pattern.
