Brick layer effect

My tutorial today shows how to make the brick layer background

which you can see in my card above.

I used some scraps from my Bright and Beautiful dsp set

and thought it lent itself to a new baby card.

I followed the sketch over at Try a sketch on Tuesday

using Places in the Heart stamp set and a retired one

called All for Baby.

You can watch my video here.

Tag Tuesday

I decided to go with a new baby tag and made

some little rolled flowers using pink felt.

The oval shape was cut from some retired papers and

I stamped the little stars in the background

using All For Baby stamp set.

The sentiment was stamped then punched using

my oval punch.

The flowers were glued in place with

some punched out leaves added.

I finished it off with a bow in stitched pink ribbon.

All for baby - card sketch 10

 

                                                                      

Today I decided to go with a baby card!

If you dropped by my blog last Sunday you would

have seen the pink baby card I made using this set.

This card follows card sketch 10 from

Kendra's Card Challenge 3

and because the only piece you have is the large dots

I had to go all green for this baby card.

Always handy to have a neutral coloured card on hand!!

You can watch my quick video here

Items used:

All For Baby Bundle

Old Olive ink pad, soft suede ink pad,

Soft Seafoam card and ink pad

old embossing folder

I had a lovely visit from my Sister-in-law Liz

who is over from England visiting her family.

My brother didn't come this time but we are working on him lol.

Is anyone else a bit nervous about going places still?

Our numbers are still pretty high here and I have to admit

to getting the belly flutters when I'm in a shop!

Slowly getting there though. I am generally not a nervous person

but after what we have all been through it's to be expected I suppose.

 

Any celebration at Stamping Sensations!

Can you believe it's the 1st of August already!!

Our new challenge for August at

STAMPING SENSATIONS

is any celebration!

Easy or what!!

We are sponsored by

so definitely worth getting at least one entry in!

Just remember to use your STAMPS!!

For my card I have gone with a new baby theme.

I got myself this lovely new bundle called

All For Baby which comes with matching dies,

and I have teamed it up with

polished pink papers and ink.

The baby clothes left and right are

stamped and die cut.

The one in the middle is die cut from the papers.

How cute are those little die cut pegs!!!

Each little embellishment on the baby suits has been

stamped and die cut.

I die cut a rectangle from the

rectangle stitched dies and place a piece of

white organza ribbon behind it.
