Baby Card!

LOOK WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH A SCALLOP PUNCH!!!

This was a fun project for me... I thought of this idea a while ago and remembered it while talking to a lady at a workshop... In theory, I thought it would work... And LOOK... It WORKED!!!

Yes this was for my friend again... Its a BOY! YEAH!!

Im sure she wont mind...
Recipe:
Stamps: Little Pieces (Pram wheels), Cheer & Wishes.
Card: Whisper White, Bashful Blue, Barely Banana, Creamy Caramel, Designer Paper in Certainly Celery.
Ink: Ballet Blue, Close to Cocoa
Seasonings: Very small piece of White Grosgrain Ribbon..

The Pram body was made by punching a piece of Bashful Blue with the Scallop Punch. This was cut in half. The "Lace" was made by first punching into some Whisper White Card with the 1 3/8" circle punch. I then used the Scallop punch to cut around the "hole". This leaves you with a very thin scalloped border which you can bend and straighten. The centre of each scallop was pricked with my 'pokey tool'!

I stamped the pram wheels onto Creamy Caramel card with Close to Cocoa ink and punched with the 1/2" circle punch. (If you dont have this stamp set you could always draw this by hand too!)The handle was punched with a normal hole punch.
White details on the pram were drawn with the Signo Gel Pen, and the Brown details drawn with my brown marker.

Any ideas or suggestions for my next scallop project? Someone has already suggested a sheep or a baby's bib!
Im willing to give anything a try!!

Thanks for looking,
Enjoy.

Baby Card

A really simple card that can be adapted for boy/girl, pre-baby/post baby or even birthday!

Recipe;

Stamps: Year After Year, Cheer & Wishes

Card: Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Barely Banana

Ink: Mellow Moss, Barely Banana

Seasonings: 1/4" White Grosgrain Ribbon, Blender Pens, 1/2" circle punch.

- Make a card blank from whisper white (9cm x 18cm folded to give 9cm square). Stamp the elephant onto another piece of whisper white with Mellow Moss. Use Blender pens and a dab of Barely Banana ink to colour in... (Tip: with the ink pad closed squeeze the lid gently onto the pad inside. When you open your pad the inside of the lid has picked up a little ink and can be used as your palette for colouring!)

-Trim to size and knock off the corners with the 1/2" punch. (Tip: turn your punch upside down and use the markings on the cutting edge to line up your paper.)

-Trim a piece of Barely Banana to size and (if needed using a Stamp-a-ma-jig) stamp congratulations.

- Trim a pice of Certainly Celery card to 8cm square and trim the edges with the circle punch as before. Wrap a pice of ribbon around the Celery card and glue this to the front of your card blank.

Assemble the other elements as shown, tie a cute bow and stick down.

Thanks for looking!

Enjoy...
