Cricut 360° Blog Challenge #13 ... Welcome Baby

Happy Friday everyone, it's time for another challenge at the Cricut 360° Blog. This week we're making something for babies.

My card this week is sweet and simple. The image was cut from the Wrap it Up cartridge and embossed with the Love Language embossing folder. I coated the wheels and trim with Glossy Accents and added ribbon, twine and buttons.

I hope you'll join us for this challenge ... I'd love to see what you create!

Baby Giraffe Baby Card

Baby cards are so much fun to make! I bought this designer paper sometime last year and was just waiting for the perfect project for it. The onesie is from the Wrap it Up Cricut cartridge and the little giraffe is from New Arrival ... I'm really pleased with how well the die cut giraffe matches the giraffe on the paper. Wrap it Up doesn't have a shadow feature and I really thought this image needed a border of some sort. Without it, the onesie gets lost on the background paper. Anyway, my daughter cut a shadow for me. She has a knack for free-hand cutting (a skill I don't have ... so glad she does). I added some brads for the onesie snaps and a few more for embellishment, and finished it with a little rick-rack trim. Hope you like this one.

Yet Another Baby Card

Okay, so I've been on quite the baby card kick....I've made three in the last week! I guess it's because, not only did I get a new Cricut cartridge , but also a new paper stack. Here are the details on this one: The card is 5"x7". "Baby" was cut at 1.5" using New Arrival. The patterned paper is from DCWV's Nana's Nursery pack and the card stock is Bazzill Basics Guacamole, trimmed using a Martha Stewart border punch. I added a little ribbon and some pop dots... not much to this one. Anyway, this is my last baby card for awhile. I'm off to bigger and better things!

Another New Arrival Card

Just a quick post...it's late and I should be in bed. I've made another card using New Arrival, I really like this cartridge. The card is size A2. The card stock is from Papertrey Ink and the patterned paper is from a DCWV Nana's Nursery paper pack. The 'onsie' was cut at 3.25" and the 'angel' was cut from Graphically Speaking at 1.25" (I covered it with some Glossy Accents for a little shine). I added a little stitching, a couple of buttons from my stash and a bit of embroidery floss. I was trying to make a card more suitable for a boy...but this still looks kinda 'girly' to me.

Mojo Monday #90

On Monday evening, I tried to do this week's Mojo Monday challenge and wasn't very successful. So, I tried again tonight with better results. This card is 5x7. The little outfit is from New Arrival, cut at 3.5". The patterned paper is from the DCWV Nana's Nursery stack. I stamped the sentiment using a stamp from Papertrey Ink's Mega Mixed Messages set. I added some stitching, a couple buttons, some rick rack and pop dots. This is the first time I've stitched on one of my cards...I like it....I'm pretty sure I'll try it again.
