TSOL: Onesie Mania!

Hello!  Today I have two cards and a gift bag to share using the onesie4baby die by The Stamps Of Life.  The first card uses one of the Sizzix embossing folders from TSOL on the card base.  Love that these folders match a lot of the stamp sin Stephanie's sets!  After die cutting and stamping the onesie, I went back in with some copic markers to add some highlights.  The "welcome" and the little butterfly on the onesie are also from this set.  This is a quick and easy card to make if you are strapped for time!

Next, I made a quick little gift bag.  If you visit my blog often, you know that I love to use little brown bags to make gift bags!  I used an oval punch to create the handle.  I die cut and stamped the onesie, punched a hole in the top and created a hanging tag to decorate the outside.  These would make great shower favors, or a small gift to give to mom and baby!

Last, I have a card that I made, but I did not use the die for this one. Why, you ask?  Simply, because I did not own the die yet! LOL!  If I had, it would have been a lot quicker to make.  The little flowers are part of the onesie4baby set.  The crayon letters used to spell CORA, are from the crayonletters2stamp set and the "sweet" is from the sweet4babies set.

This is for the Paper Playtime challenge: punches/die cuts plus a sentiment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Baby Invites....

Hello!  My mom called me yesterday and asked if I could whip up some invites for my sister, who is expecting.  My sister lives out of state, and is coming home the first week of February, so the invites had to be made and mailed in short order!

I used two stamps sets from The Stamps Of Life. The sentiment is from the sweet4babies set and the inside was made with the invites2create set.  I used some older Almost Amethyst DP for the punched baby carriage.  I ran a panel of white cardstock through the CB with my swiss dots embossing folder and added some sheer white dotted ribbon to match.

My sis is a bit of a diva (don't worry, I would say this to her face and I love her gobs), and.... she is very specific about what she doesn't want for her baby girl.  No pink. No hearts. No bows.  Uhhhhh, yeah...

No pink...check.
No hearts...check.
No bows...well....How could this card NOT have a bow? It is for a baby girl, and I decided it, along with the flower border on the maybe blue/maybe lavender colored baby carriage, would clue those in who didn't know.  So, what do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, Baby!

Hello! Today I wanted to share another baby card with you.  I used the new release, type4background from The Stamps Of Life for this one.  I have loved  creating some baby items using that type alphabet background.  I also love dying seam binding.  My stash is dwindling, so I need to make some more!

It is another HOT, HOT day here in Southwest Ohio.  My parents are taking the boys to the fair today.  It is a tradition, and the boys are super excited!  I am hoping to get caught up on some household chores while they are out.  Maybe I can fit in some cardmaking, too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!  Today I have a card using the new release, type4backgrounds along with an older sets, sweet4babies and banners4all from The Stamps Of Life.  I stamped the alphabet background in yellow and blue and then stamped the banners in black and cut them out.  I glued them down along with the twine to make my pennant banner.  The sentiment is stamped in black in the lower corner.  I plan on sending this to a friend who is on maternity leave with her baby boy.
