GDT at Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hi Crafters,

I was lucky enough to win the challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches last week and was asked to Guest Design a card for this weeks challenge.

In fact I made two, well I had to have a matching baby boy and girl card didn't I?

Here is the sketch I followed...

Baby Boy Box Card

Hi Crafters,

Well the weekend has arrived albeit a cold one here, I hope you are all safe and well.

Today I have a box card to share with you for a baby boy.

They're tricky things to take pictures of so I'm afraid there are quite a few to show all the angles.

Recipe

Spellbinders Scalloped Pop Up Box Die

Baby Boy Cardstock - Limetree Crafts

Marianne Designs Pram (LR0218), Train (LR0308) & Baby Shoe (LR0304) Dies

Britannia Word Dies

Sentiment Stamps - Clearly Besotted Stamps & Kaiser Craft

This was made using a new die to me that I purchased at the NEC back in November, it's the first opportunity I've had to use it. It does make life easier when you don't have to measure everything and cuts like a dream. This card fits into a 6" x 6" envelope when flattened.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

OSAAT - #253 No Square or Rectangle cards

Crafty Cardmakers - #155 NEW: Baby, Marriage, Home etc

Thanks for visiting today and for the lovely comments you have left on my previous post too. I appreciate and read every one of them.

I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Baby Carriage

Hi Crafters,
Here is the other baby card I promised to share with you, a day late but then what is a day amongst friends?

As you can see I used the lovely Marianne Designs Baby Carriage die and some Spellbinders circle and scalloped circle dies. The gingham ribbon and bows are from Mei Flower.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

TTCRD - Anything Goes
Divas By Design - Anything Goes
Crafty Catz - Embossing (wet or dry)
Brown Sugar - Anything Goes #95

 Well I'd like to wish you all a dry and sunny Spring Bank Holiday week if you are in the UK but it has been torrential rain here today, I hope it hasn't settled in for the whole week.

Bye for now,

 

Lorraine

P.S. Sorry about the different coloured text in this post, I have no clue what is happening, every time I try to make it all the same colour it reverts back to this, so I've given up I'm afraid :/

Card-In-A-Box ~ Baby Boy

Hi Crafters, we've had such a lovely sunny day here, albeit a little chilly, I hope you've had the same.
I have seen so many Box Cards on the internet lately that I just had to give it a try so here is my  Baby Boy card in a box.

I used the lovely stamp and die sets from Clearly Besotted Stamps for the train and the baby items. The paper was from a magazine freebie and the heart shaped button and twine from my stash.
Here's a closer shot...

...and a side view...

 

 

The back has a blank panel to write your message and I stamped 'Bundle of Joy' on it but unfortunately I couldn't get a picture of that, my camera decided that there wasn't enough light at that point even though I hadn't changed anything from taking all the other photo's and it wouldn't focus properly, so I admitted defeat and called it a day. This card will fit inside a C5 envelope when folded flat so it's perfect for sending and surprisingly isn't that bulky.

Challenges I'd like to enter are:

Addicted To Stamps - Fancy Folds

Scribble & Scrap - Anything Goes

Crafty Little Fairies - Button Up

Country View Challenges - New Beginnings

 

Thanks for stopping by,

 

See you soon,
