Baby Tees Baby Card

AAWWW! I love that little baby romper..it's the Baby Tees Wheel of course which I rolled onto watercolour paper and colours with my Aqua Painter and ink pads...The Top NOte Die was stamped with En Francais then  Embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. A pretty satin bow and a bookplate finishes it off...as well as a bit of sponging around the edges

I hope you enjoyed seeing the wonderful creations on offer at Andrea Buckland's Blog  What a clever lady she is!!
Without further ado here are my little creations.

I made this cute little baby gift set in one of my favourite colours, Baja Breeze

I bought a cheap papier mache box from the junk shop and used the scallop circle die to make a top and bottom for the box. They have been covered with a very pretty paper from the new Greenhouse Gala designer series paper pack  (117167). The flowers have been made with the new XL Fancy Flower punch ( 118076). I simply wet and crumpled four punches for each flower..I finished it off with the pretty a la carte stamp, All a Flutter (119194)

I love these little baby shoes!! The flowers were stamped with one of the flowers from the For Everything Set ( 116686) and I added the smallest flower from the Boho Blossoms punch to the centres. I made some of these a few years ago for my grand daughters fairy party (fairy slippers) and they were a huge hit..They are also great for baby showers filled with cello bags of chocolates.


                        
The ark was made using tutorial from Lynn Pratt. ( you can find her here) I was so happy to see Fox and Friends (119165)  make its way into the new catty...such a cute little set!

                                 This is the other side of the ark featuring the ever so cute owls

The last item in my bay gift set is a card using the Baby Tees jumbo wheel (118621) . I kept this simple with a white embossed background and white taffeta bow

         My next offering is a little set that would be great for demonstrators to take to their workshops

OMG how cute is this owl!!!! The 2 step XL Owl (118074) is going to be very popular, how could you possibly resist buying this little fellow.. The Appointment book is covered in one of the papers from the  Greenhouse   Gala desgner series papers. I have added a pen holder to the front. The business card holder and keyring take just minutes to make and would be terrific little teacher gifts. I also made a ruler for this set but it seems to have gone walkabout

For Everything (and a few others!)

I was so pleased to see this set (For Everything) has made it into the  new catalogue...it has so many fun stamps to play around with...One of my fave colour combos, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise and Melon Mambo

I love the new Contempory Christmas set, especially the bauble..can't wait to get the matching punch!

I saw this background technique somewhere in blogland but I have no idea where...it makes a nice backdrop for this beautiful butterfly, I have almost worn that stamp out!

..and lastly another card using the jumbo wheel Baby Tees...I have been creating some oher baby goodies for an upcoming Bloghop so stay tuned for those...ok off to bed I go...see you next time!

Pssstt...wanna sneak peek????

I can't wait til the new catalogue is released on September 1st...which also happens to be my birthday...what a gift!! Here are a few things I have made with some of the new goodies available soon

How cute are these little baby rompers!! I have cut them from one of the new jumbo wheels and water coloured them in  So Saffron and Certainly Celery

Another one from the same wheel...I don'r normally buy baby themed stamps but this one was too cute and because it's a wheel, it's super cheap!

One more...sooooo cute!

I know you will like this satmp not only because it's available individually...but wait...there's more.....there is a punch to match!!!!!!!!!!!

This flower lollypop was made using the new XL Fancy Flower punch...the base is a lid off something I found in the bathroom lol

Using the same punch for a scrunched flower which I have used to embellish this little slide cover thingamy bob which contains a Whittakers Peanut Slab....yummo!!!

A side view just because I think it looks pretty..ha ha

Same punch (versatile I am thinking!!) The little wondow box frame was about to go in the bin because it had REALLY ugly picture in it so I pulled it to bits and recycled it...So what do you think of these new goodies??...I think I am going to be really broke when the catalogue is released!

See ya next time
