Bundle of Joy

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This week our theme is BUNDLE OF JOY so we are sharing BABY cards.



Lately I have been all about watercolor, so I did a baby card with a mixture of designer paper and watercolor.



Bold color choice, don't you think?  Mossy Meadow doesn't usually jump to mind when thinking about baby cards, but I think this works!



The bold polka dot pattern is a nice contrast to the soft watercolor baby buggy.  To get this soft look, I stamped the image with Mint Macaron first.  Then I added water to it with the aqua painter and layered on Mossy Meadow ink until it had the look I wanted.



The buggy was fussy cut then added to a piece of watercolor paper that had the hearts from BIRTHDAY BLOOMS.  I stamped the hearts in Blushing Bride then added water to soften the images.  Lastly, I added a sentiment from COTTAGE GREETINGS.  This card ended up using 3 different stamp sets to create!

Something for Baby

I have another card to share today, this one is for sketch challenge #179 from Freshly Made Sketches.  I thought this was a great clean and simple design to work with.

I just got the Something for Baby Bundle and thought it would be perfect for this sketch.

 The Best Year Ever Designer Paper from Sale-a-bration was the inspiration for my colors.  The card base is Coastal Cabana embossed with the Large Polka Dot embossing folder.  I added in a piece of the bokeh inspired paper with two of the corners rounded.

A baby onsie was stamped with Coastal Cabana on Whisper White and die cut with the coordinating framelit.  A cute little duckie adds a splash of color.  It's stamped with Daffodil Delight on Whisper White.  I also stamped a duck with Tangerine Tango then cut the beak out to add to the Daffodil Delight duck. 

Since Something for Baby doesn't have sentiments, I pulled the "Congratulations" from Guy Greetings.  I liked the size and the lettering, it was a perfect fit for the banner.

 So that's it!! My first card using the really sweet Something for Baby Bundle.  Having matching framelits for this set is such a bonus, I just love when Stampin' Up! helps us out like that!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Happy Stamping!
