Quick Baby Card - Welcome to the World

Yesterday I was able to finally get a Baby card made that I have needed for almost 2 months! I'm ashamed  to confess that . :0(  Even though I have 11 GC, making baby cards is not one of the easiest things for me to create. I'm not sure why.

I was inspired to by Freshly Made Sketches222 and the color combo over on Color Throwdown for this card.  It's wonderful to have such great inspiration at your fingertips. Once I had my papers and stamps selected, this card went together fairly quickly. I did keep it simple without a lot of extra "fluff".  I embossed the Basic Grey CS and had done the same with the onesie, but I didn't care for the onesie embossed.  I ditched that and just die cut a plain piece of Bashful Bride CS with the Babies First Framelits dies (ret)


I selected the sentiment from the from SU's Happy Happenings and cut it with one of the dies from Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits. This set of dies tends to my "go to" choice a good share of the time. The inside sentiment is from SU's Something to Say. I decided just to tape the gift card inside instead of making a gift card holder. Easy Peasy!

I'm off to do some errands today. I hope you have a wonderful Friday and get to something CRAFTY this weekend!

Christmas Thank You / MOJO426/ and Sympathy Card

Yesterday I worked on two cards.  One for my sister-in-law who just lost her husband on Thanksgiving Day.  He was a great guy and will be greatly missed.  I'm so blessed we got to spend time with them this summer.

This second card is a MOJO 426 sketch challenge card. As always, being the last Monday of the month, it is a Tall and Skinny card.  I really loved this simple layout and size, and knew immediately that it would be perfect for Christmas Thank You's. The paper is some I have had in my stash for quite awhile, but love the little houses scattered on it. I paired it with some SU card stock and 2 stamp sets and punch to compliment the paper and the houses.

The card I made for my sister-in-law was a "semi CAS" card that I saw on Pinterest by Paper Girl and just added my own touches.

 On this card I used Blackberry Bliss paper and ribbon. I choose SU's  "Thoughts and Prayers" for the outside and inside sentiment. The EF is by Cricut and the inside heart is from the "Hearts a Flutter" framelit.

That's about it for today.  I'm off to get ready for my Tuesday morning Bible study, then onto some Christmas and grocery shopping. Make your Tuesday great and go do something CRAFTY my friends!

MOJO+414 - Masculine Card #3

I'm here again today using the same MOJO414 layout and a masculine card.

Today's card is using different SU DSP and stamp set. 

Even though I feel this paper is a little feminine, I think there is enough 

of different texture and with the fairly
simple sentiment, it seems more masculine to me. 

What do you think?

I'm not going to get my 4th.card done. (sad face). I head out of town tomorrow morning earlier then was planned, so there will be no time to play with paper and stamps.

Have a wonderful weekend and go do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,

SU Stamp - Happy Happenings, Bohemian Designer Series Paper

Me?Miss You? / Mojo Monday

I have a very quick post tonight. This card is based on a sketch by MOJO Monday. 

The stars on this card were used as part of the design with a special meaning. My 4 year old grandson, Kempton,  seems to be  into stars right now. I'm  really not sure why.

Since he lives in NC and I live in CA, keeping in touch with him is important. The sentiment from the SU "Happy Happenings" was perfect to let him know how much I missed him.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and are able to do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,
BernieBee
