Hello
Last Sunday
morning my good friend Katie became a nana again to a lovely baby boy
called Freddy who weighed in at 8lb 13oz at around 3.50am
So I felt I
really needed to make a card for Katie & Ray and this is what I
made!
The sheet is
from www.craftsuprint.com
but as usual I cant find the sheet to tell you who designed it or the
item number...
But here is
the card....
So
materials for this card I used ….
Heat mat to
work on and protect your surface – I always use it...
8x8 fancy
edge card blank
Decoupage
sheet
Baby themed
ribbon
Button
backing paper
Tonic border
punch
Scraps of
blue and silver mirri card
Yellow and
blue glitter card
Card candy
Glossy
Accents
Double sided
tape
Sticky pads
Eazi Score
Board & tool
Tonic 8”
guillotine
Scissors
Tweezers
Shaping tool
from www.dimensionstamps.com
Foam shaping
mat – stamping mat or even a mouse mat
To
make the card ...
The card
blank was folded and the button backing paper trimmed to fit the card
then attached using double sided tape
I cut the
main image out then matted on yellow then blue glitter card leaving a
border with each layer
I used the
fancy border punch on the scrap of silver mirri card and then matted
that onto a scrap of blue mirri card
They were
then stuck to the left side of the card leaving an even amount at the
top and bottom of the panel, it was stuck with double sided tape.
Next I added
double sided tape to the back of the blue glitter card and this panel
was then stuck so it over lapped most of the punched silver mirri and
secured in place.
The
decoupage was then cut out and added to the image with tiny sticky
pads and the heart shaped sentiment was stuck so it over lapped the
image slightly.
To decorate
the card I started by adding 2 blue glittered studs to the panel
under the crib, then clear AB gems were stuck on each corner of the
blue backing of the image and white pearl card candy was added to the
scallop corner panels
I tried a
bow using a lovely baby blue ribbon that was printed with pictures as
well as text of tiny hands and tiny feet and this was attached to the
top right hand corner
I used a
quickie glue pen and blue glitter to cover the heart of the crib and
then glossy accents on the heart sentiment and teddies pads and face
A beautiful
verse was added to the sentiment to finish
Katie loved
the card and I am sure the verse brought a tear to her eye!!!
I saw baby
Freddy today and he is beautiful – so tiny – and he was made for
the traditional Silver Cross pram Katie has kept – so if you live
in or around the Hull area and see a lady walking proud pushing a
lovely silver cross pram go up and say hello to Katie!!!!
See you next
time....
