New Baby Card

 This is the card that I have made ready for my Grandsons arrival.
He is due today, but looks like he is going to keep us waiting a few more days.

The top photo is of the box all closed up with the card inside

 This is the front of the card, all the images and backing papers are from Crafters Companion Humphrey's Corner CDs 

 These two photos show the the card open

 In the photo below you can see the first two sections, I had to take the toppers into another graphic program to change the sizes a little, but this is very easy to do with CC CDs

 Here we have the next two sections of the card, I do love the high chair and crib toppers so much

 In these two photos you can see the back four panels/

I have also added a few bows and flowers to finish each panel off

 In the bottom photo you can see how the card looks open from above

 This last photo is the back of the card,this was where I chose to put our message

Pam has done a great tutorial on how to make this card you can see it on her blog here along with a few others

This time I made my image a little larger to be added to the front of this Kraft goodie bag.

I though it would be fun to do something different from a card

 My image has been coloured with spectrum noir pens, and the sentiment and bats came from a Craft Artist digi kit.

With Halloween just around the corner. I was looking for some nice Halloween themed images,I just love this image from the Stamp fairy, as soon as I saw him I just had to get him, I wonder what he is brewing in the cauldron of his.

I have coloured him with Spectrum Noir and a few pro markers.

The bubbles from his pot and the stars on his hat have been glittered with glamour dust.

The background is fron a digi kit that has been on my PC for ages so not sure where I got it from sorry

I have been luck enough to be chosen to be on their DT, Thank you girls

This is my first DT Card for them I am looking forward to having lots of fun over the next few weeks and getting to know the other DT members

This image will be available in the STORE soon

I have coloured the image with with Spectrum Noire pens .

I have used my ink dusters around the edge of the design, At first I did it very faint but the more I looked the more I thought it needed adding to, I was going for a very shabby look around the edges , so decided to add some more Ochre and Green coming into the middle

The flowers are from wild orchid and the Sentiment is from TLC links in my side bar .

It says wishing you all of the ups and none of the downs, I though it would go great with the swing

Thanks for looking don't forget to pop over to Stamp n Doodle and play along with our challenge

Nappy- Diaper Cake

 This is my first Nappy cake, I have made it for my Emma She is having a baby shower on Friday My second grandson is due at the end of this month

 I rolled all the nappies and using elastic bands I attached them to a Kitchen roll holder this was also filled with Nappies

The Bottom layer has 3 rounds of Nappies, and the second layer two rounds.

To this I added lots of curling ribbon, before attaching this cute night time teddy to the top.

 A close up of the rolled nappies and ribbon curls

I still have to add some little baby socks and bibs to this and also wrap it all up in florist wrap.

Very pleased with how it turned out

Dress tag 2

Here I am again with my second dress tag.

As before the tag was cut out on my cricut, see post below for the SVG file .

I used two different lace for this one, a white for the underskirt and two strips of pretty peach lace for the bodice and top skirt.

The cameo on the bely is a button with the back cut of and stuck down with pinflair glue.

The flowers have beeen ion my craft box for years since i first started crafting, they are very small perfect for this dress.

I then jazzed the dress up with some pretty sparkly stones

the backing paper comes from pink petticoats 

here we have a close up view of the dress.

Dress Form Tag

Just loving the dress forms that are about these days.

This one is an SVG file from JennM Found it on the web, So would like to say thank you to Jenn

  

I cut it out on my Cricut .

I used 300gsm card that I had printed a text background onto.

I then inked the edges and the bottom of the stand with dark brown ink

Then for the bodice I added some satin ribbon, I also glued some to the Bottom of the skirt , as this shows through the lace

 Then I used pin flare glue to attach the lace, as you can see I arranged it so that it was longer on the one side

To this I added a few small roses that I had lightly glittered with some stickles

Then I cut out a tag on my Cricut and added some papermania background paper from the Blue berry hill pad.

I wrapped some gold cord before sticking my dress form onto the tag with Pin flare glue again as I wanted it to be raised from the tag.

Made an organza Bow and used a bit more for the top of the tag.

To finish I added another rose to the bow 

Here is a side view to see the depth.

I have another one of these cut out so watch this space
