Hi,

Well, it seems to be true that I either write a few posts in a row or I don't write any for ages....Being more consistent should have been on my new year resolution list. But life and kids get in the way....

Anyway, this was probably worth the wait.

One of my really good friends, Sina, is having her third girl in a few weeks. I had no idea what to get her, because, really, what do you get for someone who already has 2 other girls??? I am sure she still has things in her cupboards that her girls never wore or wore a couple of times.....and toys, really? I don't think she would appreciate the clutter :-)

Well, I thought I would make her baby announcement cards. So I asked her what colours she would like and what kind of image and this is what I came up with! I was IN LOVE! I said to her that if I was pregnant I would think twice before actually giving them to her. I liked them that much! Well, seeing as I am not pregnant, and even if, there would be a 50% 50% chance of needing the pink and purple colours, I reluctantly gave her the cards.......I was super happy she liked them! I just hope she gets the time to actually mail them! It's busy enough with 2, let alone adding a baby to that mix.

 

 

And here is the inside: 

 

 

Hope you like these cute Baby cards, I know I really enjoyed making them!

Hugs,

Renate

Supplies used:

Pretty much all retired SU products:

I used my favourite retired SU Designer Paper called Cheerful Treat

Green Galore, Pixie Pink, Lovely Lilac and Whisper White Card Stock

Baby Prints (not sure of the actual set name) retired stamp set, very similar to the current Baby Prints

Bundle of Joy Retired Set

Frame Oval Scallop Die and Big Shot Wild
Wasabi Embossing powder

Some of the latest baby cards I made for friends that have been blessed with a little bundle of joy :-) (well, I should hope they are all bundles of joy!).

I will only list the stamp set/wheel used for each one as it would take me too long to have a proper list of supplies used for all of the cards. If you want any more info on a particular card, just email me and I will try to remember.

"Washday" Wheel

For the Baby Pram I used circle punches or various sizes Stamp Set is "Fabulous Phrases"

 Retired SU set, not sure of the name...

For the next 2 I used "Bundle of Joy"

 "Little Princess"

"Two by two" WITH COPICS

 "Baby Prints"

Hope you like them. And if you ever need any cards, invites or any other paper crafts, or you know someone that does, I am always available for special orders!

Hugs,

Renate

Hi,

I have a double post tonight, one was meant to go on last night, seeing as I did the card then, but like I mentioned before still trying to adjust to school mum schedule and midnight came too soon for my taste and I postponed. But that means double the treat tonight!

Here is the first card I made:

I used the Mojo Monday Sketch 256:

The second card I made is also a baby one, I just have an order that
