Easy Events Baby Card

Todays card is for a challenge for Late Night Stampers to use at least two of your favourite things..wowsers! where do you start??
I have used  the very cute baby stamp from the Easy Events set which I have paper Pieced (my favourite technique. Faux stitching was added (another fave...if not cheaty technique!!) and used the dots embossing folder (goes with anything) and also a punched border...and my fave colour at the moment is Pool Party...the other colours I have used are so Saffron and Certainly Celery...love the ducky!!!!!

Fun and Fast Notes Baby Card

I hardly ever use this set,,,it's a shame because there are so many nice images...this is a quick baby card using the pram from Fun and Fast Notes. I have used small buttons for the wheels and added a few punched flowers and some leaves from the XL Bird punch

Baby Boy Card

Can you tell  I love the bonds suit from the "A Slice of Life"set?...I should have let my colouring dry before I applied the crystal effects...the red hearts have bled a little..never mind...kinda cheeses me off though, when the last thing you do to a card is the thing that buggars up the whole card!

Slice of Life Baby Card

The little Bonds suit in the "A Slice of Life" set (mini catty level one set) is soooo cute!! For this card I embossed the base with Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. I sponged the circle in pretty in pink and stamped the suit with Staz On which I then coloured with a pretty in pink marker, then applied Crystal Effects. A satin bow and some punched flowers and leaves finished it off...blue one next!

While you are here I received a Leibster blog award from Debbie Lamb from Deb's Stampin Style. Debbie is from NZ and has a fantastic blog which you really need to visit...so may beautiful projects...I have never been to New Zealand but if I ever get the chance I shall pop in and say hi...I don't eat much lol! Thanks for thinking of little old me!
The idea behind the award is to draw attention to new blogs, or blogs with fewer than 300 followers. I had to choose just three and pass the award along.. it has taken me ages!!!!!!!!!
So here are my three

Side Step Baby Dresser Card

I remember when I first saw Jackie Topa's side step dresser card I was blown away how anyone could think of something that darn clever!! I have followed her tutorial here to make the side step card. I decided I wanted a big teddy to go on the side so I had a go at making one myself (albeit a very simple one lol)..using only different sized ovals and circles. The card itself was made from Naturals Ivory Card stock which I stamped with Early Expresso ink on the Woodgrain stamp. For the teddy I used the 1 3/8 circle for the head, 3/4 circles for ears, 1/2 inch circles for inner ears, wide oval for body, large oval for belly, small ovals for arms and feet. For the feet I shortened the ovals on one end and squared them off a little bit. The feet pads are also small ovals which I trimmed to fit. You can't tell from the photo..since I didn't remember to do a close up..that I used my distressing tool to "fuzz" the edges of all the punched pieces to make him look fluffy then lightly inked them.
