Swell News

I borrowed this set from my upline to make some baby cards for my cousin in-law (who just found out she is pregnant) and my sister (who has known she’s been pregnant for about 7 months now!) I love it and I’m now on a quest to find one–whether it be ebay or if someone wants to sell/trade. Anyone??

I made these cards using scraps I already had lying around. It’s part of my effort to use up some of the old stuff before I bring in the new. Taking inventory of my craft closet was quite an experience! Not only did I get a chance to get organized, but I know how much stuff I never got around to using!

Baby Shower Invites

I am making invitations for my sister’s baby shower (it’s a boy) and the theme came from her bedding choice–Jungle Animals!! Of course, I have the perfect set–Wild About You. I saw many great examples on splitcoast using this set, and I’m pleased with the way they turned out. Granted it’s a lot of work cutting out the elephant ear and gluing all those dots on the giraffe, but it’s for my sister!

I used a regular hole punch and a smaller one to get the colored spots for the giraffe. The smallest spots I just colored in with So Saffron marker. The elephant’s ear is stamped in Tempting Turquoise and popped up with a dimensional.
