Mother-to-be card and gift

Hello again,
wow, 2 posts on the same day... must be on a roll!
I have a very dear friend who I met when I first moved to England and we have kept in touch ever since. She is now pregnant with her second and very much wanted child. She's over the moon as they've been trying for a long time. I am thrilled for her and when I saw this image it so reminded me of her!! She has hair a bit like the lady, the dress would be something she'd wear and she loves purple, so I had to colour her in purple!
And to make her smile I also made a little suitcase to match and added a pack of Thorntons chocolate "Moments" in - a perfect fit!

Here's the card on it's own, Basic Grey Wisteria again, love those papers! I used a Martha Steward punch on the lower part, SU sentiment stamp and paper roses from the Poundstore again. Image is coloured with Copics as usual... *lol*


And this is the little suitcase on its own...isn't it sweet? I used a template from Lauren Meader as I was too buried in work to make the template up myself (although it's not that difficult, I am lazy! *ggg*).
Hope you like my creations and thanks if you decide to leave a comment!

*** UPDATE: I am so silly, it took a comment from my sweet friend Julie to realise I completely forgot to tell who the gorgeous image is from!! It's another beauty from Tammy at Adayfordaisies and you can find her images on etsy.com and some on her website www.adayfordaisies.com which hopefully will be updated soon to include all of her lovely digi stamps! Sorry for forgetting to put the name on!***

Baby season is truly upon us!

Hello bloggers!
I can't believe how many baby cards I had to make in the last few weeks! It has been totally crazy. I didn't have time to snap pics of all of them, but here are a few. Hope you like them!




This one is for my yet to be born niece! Her due date has passed and we are all waiting with baited breath. As we were there a few days before the due date I had it all ready to give then but so far it's still here with me...
I used the gorgeous future rock star image from Mos digital pencil and coloured it with Copics. I also used the sketch on Mos DT challenge blog but haven't had a chance to upload in time for the challenge end... oh, well, I'll try next time again.
Papers are Basic Grey, star punches are Fiskars and SU, Ribbon Anita's and sentiment is hand written.



This one is winging it's way to South Afrika at the moment, a friend of my hubs has given birth to a little girl. Image is again a Mo and coloured with Copics. I cut it with a circle Nestie, leving the foot/dummy and the guitar handle sticking out.
The little banner with the computer generated sentiment is cut by hand and all is layered, in parts on dimensionals onto cuttlebug embossed cardstock. The lovely twill ribbon is PTI and I love it!
It's a fairly simple card but I like it!



This one was for friends of ours who just had their second daughter. I didn't have a name yet then, so it is a bit generic... I love the image which is from adayfordaisies, I found it on etsy.com and purchased a couple of others as well. Watch out for them if you like the look of this!
For a change I coloured with Copics AND Prisma pencils and also added some spica glitter pens in the mix but they are hard to see on the pictures. Papers are Basic Grey again, so are the Rub-ons (baby), Ribbon is from stash but not sure what make... I used some Coredinations cardstock as well as a PTI alphabet set to stamp the sentiment.


This one I just LUUUURVE! It was fairly easy to put together, pink cardstock base, embossed with Scor pal and Scor bug to get the little dotted frame, layered dark pink cardstock and again Basic Grey paper (isn't their paper just perfect for baby girl cards???). Sentimemt stamped with PTI sets "Simple alphabet" and "Bitty Baby Blessings". Rub-on in the upper right corner is by Basic Grey.
Well, and that butterfly? Isn't it pretty? I can't get enough of it! It's quite heavy due to the chunky glitter on it but it still looks so delicate. It is inspired by one of those dies that I can never remember the name of, was it Marianne or Nellie Snellen??? No idea, but I guess you probably know what I mean anyway. I cut it on my Cricut though and it was actually a trial to test how well it would cut intricate bits. And I think it worked well. But when I covered it in glossy accents and tipped the chunky glitter on it it just became something else. Sorry, about the gushing, but it was very hard for me to let this one go. *lol*


Last but not least, a boy card! The only boy to be born lately *lol*
The cute onsie template was downloaded from the very talented Cathy on Mos Digital Pencil PCP site. I just placed a Mo image and sentiment on it on the computer, printed and cut it out. Coloured the image with pencils and added chalk ink to the edges, added a little bow to the top and stamped an coloured the circles for pop buttons.

Hope you like what I had to show you today and see you soon again!
