Baby Shower Decorations

I am sharing a shower decoration I made for a recent baby shower.  The baby is of course a girl, and her name will be Vada.  I hope you like it and are inspired!  If you would like specific details, just let me know.

Another Welcome Baby Card

I made this card for a dear friend's son and his wife who recently welcomed a new baby girl.

I made this card for the TPE99 sketch challenge over at The Pink Elephant.  Isn't it a sweet sketch?

Here are the details:

Cardstock:  Bazzill
Patterned Papers:  My Mind's Eye
White daisy button:  Unknown
Ribbon:  Another unknown
Pearls:  Katy Cards (this is a company in England that I've purchased from several times.  She has great prices on pearls.  It takes a while to get them here in the U.S. (Usually 3 weeks or so), but worth the wait!  Here is a link to her site.)
Pink border behind card:  Martha Stewart deep edger border punch
Baby:  Baby Steps Cricut cartridge cut at 2 1/2".  I added Liquid Applique to the cloud.
Scalloped Rectangle:  Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge cut at 3 1/2"  (I think.)
Welcome Baby:  Cuttlebug die

Here is my card:

You comments make my day.  Thank you!

Welcome Baby

I made this card for a baby shower at work.  The parents have chosen not to find out the sex of the baby, so I made the card suitable for either.  I tried not to put too much pink on the card.  I really have a feeling it is a boy.  We'll see in a month or so if I'm right!

Here are the details:

Size:  A2 -- with the bottom trimmed with a EK Success dotted wave border punch
Cardstock:  Coredinations, Bazzill, and DCWV Glitter
Patterned Paper:  DCWV Dots and Stripes mat stack
The green portion of the front was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder (the one that comes with the baby set).
I added a pink embossed strip in the space for a word.
The oval and scalloped oval are cut using the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge at 2 1/4"
Welcome Baby:  Cuttlebug die
The rattle was cut using the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge at 2 1/4" (I added a little bit of pink Stickles on the handle)
Stars are a punch
Mini rose:  Recollections
Funky clip:  From my stash

30 Years

I made a layout!  Woo hoo!  This simple layout has pictures from a little celebration that our daughters had at our house for our 30th anniversary.  When I looked at these pictures, I thought, "What was I thinking wearing my hair like that?" Ha.  I'm so far behind on my scrapbooking now.  This was a few years ago.

Here are a few details on the layout (click on the picture to get a better look):

Paper:  DCWV Cotton Bloom Stack
Flower Vine:  Some are actually on the paper.  The ones next to the photo on the left were made with a Martha Stewart border punch (given to my by my friend Jane for my birthday -- love it!).  I added Stickles on the flowers and some gems in the middle of each flower)
Flowers:  A combination of handmade and a Prima (white).  The centers are the miniature roses from I Am Roses.
Font:  Baby Steps Cricut cartridge
Scalloped oval behind 30:  Baby Steps as well

Thanks for looking!

Birthday Candle Card

Happy Wednesday everyone.  Here is a card made for a co-worker's birthday.  I recently got the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge and found this adorable cupcake on it.  I decided that it works for babies, children, and adults!  I made the card using Sketch 106 at Card Patterns.  Here is the sketch:

And here is my take on it:

Here is a closeup of the flower:

Here are the details on the card:

Size:  5 1/4" x 5 1/4"
Oval labels:  Nestabilities
Ribbon from my stash
Cupcake:  Baby Steps Cricut cartridge cut at 2 1/2"
Flower:  Made from punches -- This is the same flower I used on my napkin rings at the hospitality banquet (see post from last week).  I found the tutorial on You Tube.   Here is a link to the video, or here are the easy instructions:  Punch 8 2" scalloped circles (I actually used a 1 1/2" circle for this smaller flower).  Ink the edges of all 8.  Spritz each with water.  Crumple them up into little balls.  Unfold them gently and lay them in a stack.  Punch a hole in the center and add a brad.  Then start folding them up toward the center and scrunching them one at a time.  After they are all folded up, start folding them down one at a time until they form a beautiful flower!  I then painted Stickles on the edges.  I sure hope that helps.
Behind the flower I used fabric from my daughter's shirt.  I cut out a circle and then made slits and added Stickles.  This is for the fabric challenge at Creative Corner.   I love this challenge!
I added a few gems, and it was done!
