By ones & by twos Stampin Up baby card

 

Hi dear Stampers.

 

I think I have Baby on the brain. No worries.. nothing in my tummy :), just in my head :)

What do you think of this little cutie? It is one of the cards you will be able to create at the Card Buffet on Nov the 4th. I am on a roll here. I love prepping the cards and coming up with ideas. Now all I need is a little more time to pre-cut everything, so I won't leave it until the last minute :)

 

 

If you are coming to the card Buffet and you would like to create this card, please bring your own sharp scissors :) Because you will need to paper pierce this little onesie. Don't get scared, it's not that hard. I actually love doing it. It is so soothing. I used the Onesie from the retired 'By Ones & by Twos Stampin Up stamp set. I so love that set.

 

Do you recognise the Decorative Label Punch (#120907 - $22.95) shape behind that cute little onesie? I love how it highlights the main image of the card.

 

I used the Case this Sketch Challenge #2 for my card today. I loved the layout and it totally inspired me to create this beauty :) Thanks sweet ladies for sharing all your creativity on your blogs. I loved coming back to it to see what the rest of the Blog world had created.

 

We can’t get enough of labels, and our new extra large Decorative Label punch has arrived just in time for creating cunning Christmas tags and holiday accents for all kinds of projects. It just doesn’t get any easier than punching. Use this new punch with Designer Series paper for quick but luxurious Christmas tag backgrounds or with stamped images to frame meaningful greetings and messages on cards and scrapbook pages.

■ Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing
■ Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport
■ Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored
■ New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use
■ Larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use
■ Available in an exclusive Stampin' Up! color
■ Coordinates with images in the Tags til Christmas stamp set

 

Here is a more boy-ish version of the card. The options are endless for this type of cards. I am sure you will enjoy creating your own. :)

 

 

Well, it's that time again of making supper.

What to make, what to make.

 

Inky hugs, Pauline

Packed for baby card by Stampin Up and me

 

Hi dear Stampers.

 

Are you ready for another sneak peek? Here are 2 different cards that you will be able to create at the card Buffet on Nov. the 4th of 2012?

 

Card Buffets are so much fun and I know that you will be certain to find just what

you need to add to your card collection.

 

Join us and create a total of 14 cards or tags from a "menu" of about 12 different cards and tags.

You get to pick what you want to make!! (Christmas cards, thank you cards, baby cards, birthday cards, etc.)

 

The Buffet will be on Sunday November the 4th from 1.30 pm to 6 pm.

The cost of this Card Buffet is $30 and includes 14 cards (tags) with envelopes.

Once your 14 cards (of your choice) are completed, you can go back for extra helpings at $2 each!

 

 I know you will love the "menu" of choices and I will work hard to make sure your supplies are perfectly prepared and ready for you to stamp, assemble and send!

 

If you have your own sharp scissors, even glue and a paper trimmer (in case you want to change things up a bit) please bring them to this event :) + if everyone can bring a nice snack with them on that day, we will have lots of yummy goodies to munch on while creating.

 

I would love to hear from you, if you have any questions or concerns.

 

 Pss: I will also have a little corner where you will be able to buy some of my homemade cards :)

 

 

 

Today I played with a retired but still super duper cute stamp from Stampin Up, called Packed for Baby. The details are so much fun and can be used in so many ways. I decided to stamp the image in Early Espresso Classic ink and stamp the image twice on the card stock.

I love how it turned out.

 

 

I wanted to create a clean and simple card, so not to much little ad-ons. Believe me, I tried with some ribbon, buttons and I even tried colouring the images.. , but it just didn't look good. I guess, less is more, right on these cards

 

I used my Sizzix Timeless Type Alphabet Junior Sizzlits from Stampin Up. This set is now also retired. It is a shame, because these letters have such a classic and simple touch to them.

 

I used my Stampin Up circle punches to create the circles on my cards.

 

Stampin Up created a new look / style for their punches, (the ones you see are the retired ones :) but these circle sizes are still for sale in my online Stampin Up products store.

 

Here you have the 1- 3/8 circle SU punch (#119860 - $21.95) and for the smaller circles on my card I used the 1- 1/4" circle Stampin Up punch (#119861 - $21.95).

 

You're welcome to click on the link. It will bring you right to my online Stampin Up store, where you can purchase these beauties. I promise, they will not be able to collect any dust in your crafting times :)

 

Punches are a quick and easy way to add interest, dimension, and color to your cards, tags, and scrapbook pages. You can glue punched shapes directly onto your projects or layer a sheet of card stock that has been punched over a coordinating card stock for a reverse effect.

 

I hopped over this morning to the CRE - 8 - 4 - FUN blog Challenge # 65. This week they played in their challenge with the colours Pink, Tan and Cream. Ofcourse with my baby cards in mind, I went and played along :) 

 

Isn't it fun how a different colour can change the whole look of a card.

Just by changing up the colours, I now have one girly baby card and one boy-ish baby card..

 

Well.. I gotta go here..

Inky hugs, Pauline

By the Seashore Tag by Stampin Up and me

 

Hi there, dear Stampers.

 

Welcome back on my blog.

I love my little space on the web and I hope you enjoy my creations.

Here is a Tag that I created for the 10 year Anniversary of our church here in Calgary.

It is a small, but beautiful church in downtown. I love all the people there and how everyone is on their own journey in life with God. So much to learn while walking in community and trying to make sense of life and love.

I gave this Tag and some other symbolic gifts to the pastors wife. She is such a sweet heart and so SO dedicated to our families.

 

What do you think of my new addition to my Stampin family :) I so love this set. It is called 'By the Seashore' (#126530 - $27.95). If you click on this link, it will bring you to my online store. There is also the Clear Mount version of this stamp set, which is $20.95 - ( #126532)

 

 

Have you rolled your Delicate Dolies Sizzlits die (# 126999 - $26.95) already through your Big Shot. I picked one of the fabulous dolies and stuck it behind one of the images of  the By the Seashore stamp set. It is such a great little feature on this Tag.

 

Cut detailed designs with Sizzlits L dies. Use with the Big Shot, Standard Cutting Pads, and the Multipurpose Platform. Cuts a single sheet of paper. Largest doily: 1-3/8" diam. Because this die is intricate, you may need to pop out some pieces after cutting.

 

 

Here is some yummy Summer Starfruit 3/8 Stitched Satin Ribbon. For $12.25 you will get 10 beautiful yards of beauty :) (#126846, see page 172 of your 2012 Stampin Up catalogue) Please click on the link if you would like to purchase this gorgeous ribbon.

 

Nov the 4th is coming closer and on that day, me and my dear friend and down line member are organising a Card Buffet. This Tag will probable be one of the 12 to 14 creations that you will be able to create on that day. we will do all the pre-cutting of the materials, so it will be not a difficult job for you to put together and to ad your own personal touch to your Tag.

I hope the rest of your day will be beautiful.

I always love to read your comments, they really make me smile.

 

Inky hugs, Pauline

Case this sketch #1 Challenge mittens card by Stampin Up and me

 

Hi everyone.

Thanks for stopping by. I love to have you here.

Last week we had some kind of dress rehearsel here in Calgary, Alberta. There was snow everywhere and it was so cold. It was the weirdest things, in one load of laundry I had the summer clothes of the kids + dirty snowpants and sweaters. It was good to have a bit of a warning that winter will come anytime soon. Hard to believe on a day like today. I think we hit easily the 20 Degrees Celcius :) It was hot. Oh Canada!!!!!  

 

 

I took these photo's and ofcourse a whole load more of 2 of my friends, while she was still pregnant. (She has now the cutest little baby gilr outside of her tummy :) The colours of that day inspired me to create my card today.

 

 

 

I used the sketch of CAS(E) this sketch # 1. I love the layout and I can't wait to see more of what is coming on this new blog. the cards that the dear ladies created are just stunning and simple.

 

Here you see the new Stampin Up Mitten Builder punch (#127824 - $21.95) that is available through the New SU Holiday Catalogue 2012. Create countless mitten designs! It also coordinates with the Make a Mitten Stamp Set.

 

Have a beautiful rest of day.

Inky hugs, Pauline
