Babies Are Sweet Beginnings!!!

It’s Wednesday, and this week I'm sharing a Baby Card featuring Sweet Beginnings - S169 from (High Hopes Rubber Stamps). I love this adorable stamp and I also have a few nieces that are pregnant right now. We are all looking forward to seeing pictures of the new little one's when they are born. Once Covid19 is over, hopefully, we will be able to travel again and see them in person.

To create the card this week, I stamped the image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink. I fussy cut around the image and then coloured it in with Copic Markers.

I created a card base made from Hammermill - Premium Colour 100 lb. paper, folded to 5.5" x 4.25". For the background paper, I cut a piece the same size as the base from Echo Park - Hello Baby - It's a Girl. I attached this directly to the base with double-sided tape and then inked around the edges using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Spun Sugar. I popped up the coloured image using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape. Lastly, I added some little embellishments from Forever In Time - Painted Wood Buttons - Patchwork Elephants to finish off the card.

I stamp "Baby Sittin'  with Archival ink and used Gansai Tambi watercolors, after my image was all dried I add some Nuvo crystal drops on top of  Mrs.stork. Cut it with a Stitched Heart dies from MFT and pop it with 3D foam tape. For embellishments I used Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots" White satin ribbon, LightBlue button and some tiny white pearls. 

Here is the inside!

To finish my baby card I stamped inside with a sentiment from HHS called "New Addition". Used white cardstock and the second biggest Stitched Rectangle dies. That's all for today hope you have enjoyed today's post.

A New Baby!

It's A Great Day!

Why is it a great day you ask?....... It's a great day because it's my turn to post for High Hopes Stamps! It seems like I know a lot of people who are expecting babies. Is there something in the water around here LOL! So I decided to get a jump on my baby cards and made 2 using the adorable "Precious Cargo" stamp!

I am using baby themed paper from the Tailored Expressions "Double The Joy" 6x6 collection. I inked all the edges of my paper with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Vintage Photo. No glitter this time (wink) just some enamel dots!

 I usually decorate the inside of my cards with the scraps from designing my fronts. Designer paper can be expensive so this helps get a lot of value out of the pad. On the inside I stamped the HH sentiment called "Welcome Little One Script".

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E21, E95, R20

Pinks: R81, R83, R85

Blues: B91, B93, B95

Stork: C00, C0, C1, C3
