Baby card for Maureen

Hey Guys

This is just a quick post as have tons to do today, half of which I was supposed to do yesterday but you know those days when you seem to go round in circles and get very little done?  Well, that was me today :(

This card is for my mum-in-law Maureen to give to her good friend Rae.  Rae & her husband are grandparents for the first time & this is a special baby, very early and weighing only 4lbs 8oz is pretty tiny but mum & baby are doing well.

Ink - Versamark
Stamp - Vintage Vogue, Out of the box

Hey Guys

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.  My friend asked me to make a baby card for her friend.  This is a style I've done before personalised for the new baby.

Here it is for a different angle.  I've used a white envelope and decorated the side with the same elephant used on the card in the same colour, Bashful Blue.

A little bit closer.

The back of the card has a space for your message.

To make this card
Card - Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Crumb Cake
Ink - Crumb Cake, Bashful Blue, Basic Black
Stamps - Out of The Box, Baby Tees Jumbo Roller
Embellishments - Designer Buttons Subtles, White Grosgrain Ribbon
Tools - Scallop Edge Punch, Tag Punch

I hope the recipient likes it.  I love making baby things.

See you soon

Baby Tri-Fold Album & Box

Hi Stampers

I have been very busy & I have a gorgeous post today to show you.  I've made a tri fold album AND I've made a box to go with it.  The tri fold album is the longer one that folds out and since we did one at Quarterly Training with Michelle Last I have loved them although I've not gotten around to finishing one yet....until today, yay.

When the album was finished I knew I wanted to make a box to put it in.  As its a baby gift it would just be the finishing touch!  I have seen some on other blogs but no measurements to go with them so I set about sorting the measurements and making my box - here is the end result.  Love it!

I've used Very Vanilla satin ribbon as it feels luxurious, love the satin ribbons!

A close up of the name.

The box with the lid off - am so pleased with how this turned out.

The album out of the box.  Lots more ribbon - love it!

Lots of little embellishments.

The full inside.

A little close up of the words inside, aw.
