Funky New Baby Card

I wanted to make a yellow (bright yellow!) card to match a gift bag I was using for a new baby present. I took a look at my Stampin' Up! color wheel and it gave the above suggestions. I wasn't sure about it at first, but then thought it turned out kind of funky and, dare I say, hip! (?)

I am now loving incorporating patterned papers with my stamping... something that had been out of my comfort zone. How do you think I did? :-)

Another New Set


Inspired by a card my friend made (Hi, Jaimie!) I used another new Stampin' Up! set (Organic Outlines) as soon as I got it delivered to me. I am liking this blue, green, and brown combination, too! Here, this card is used as a "Thinking of You" card, but obviously could be used with a variety of sayings.

Happy Punch Time



These cards were used for sympathy cards, but the outsides are pretty generic to be used for about anything. I was excited to use a "new" punch and churned these two cards out right away.
-
(I called the punch "new" as it was new to me, but a retired punch from Stampin' Up! that one of my Stampin' Up! demonstrators found for me to complete me having the stamp set that matched. Did that long, long sentence make sense? Ha ha!!!)

Baby Card # 2


We had to make 28 cards (14 each of 2 styles) for the card swap I mentioned in the previous post. This is my other selection made for a "new baby boy" card.

Here's a little sumthin'...

Hi! Hopefully I am black to this blog for a while!

My husband has "commissioned" me to make sympathy cards for him to send to his clients (unfortunately when he gets many of his doggy and kitty patients, they are quite ill). Well, I am not starting off with one of those... but know that they are on their way!

Rather, I am posting a photo of a card I made for a card swap I participated in. The category I got was "baby boy." So, what do you think?
