Happy first birthday - Block cards

Following on from last weeks card I showed celebrating a new birth, I was asked to make first birthday cards for twin girls.

I wondered how to put a twist on them... so I reversed one! I also included the girls initials. I hope their parents will love them when they are given. (Unfortunately my new lighting set up is in the loft and I hadn't time to get it down and set up for this post)

Aren't they just super cute? I was so pleased with them!

It may sound daft but I think my favourite stamp and die cut is the hanger - it's just so perfect!

I used the Something for Baby set, matching framelits, the Itty Bitty Banners set and matching framelits and a couple of punches.

What do you think? I love to read your comments!

Can't wait for my class on Monday!

Congratulations!

I can post this now I know the lovely family it was sent to, have received it.

The lady has been one of my customers since I first started Stampin' Up! and this was for baby number 2. I'm looking forward to snuggles!

It's another block card as I think these are great for new babies and little ones as they make beautiful keepsakes.

I used my retired dies for the lettering, cut from red glimmer paper and mounted on a strip of window sheet.

I love how sparkly it is!

Here you can see just how clear the stamped images are, they're from Something for Baby. The DSP is a perfect match for the tie!

I'm glad she liked it and that I could share it with you.

I have a few cards ready to post so hopefully I'll be posting a lot more over the next few days/weeks - so make sure you come back and see!

Fabulous and productive weekend!

It all started yesterday when I cleaned the house from top to bottom! Then I walked the dogs. Hubbie went out for the evening to perform with his band and I got the whole evening in my craft room!

I made this card a few days ago and had to replicate it as I had requests from people for 3 more! They're such fun!

Two of the ones I made were opposite ways round as they were for a set of twins!

The Something for Baby stamp set and matching framelits is gorgeous!

So today I was up late but still helped a friend move some of their belongings into storage. Had a lovely pub lunch and then spent the afternoon clearing the loft! We cleared two large estate car loads... with the seats folded down and stuff on the passenger seat!

I am going to bed tonight feeling a little more comfortable in the hope the ceiling won't come down now we've cleared that lot! It was sad saying goodbye to some keepsakes from my childhood, my first suitcases that my grandparents bought me and all my old text books and notes from my Open University courses.

I'm off for an early night! Sleep tight (can't believe it's Monday tomorrow!).

Open House...

Well we had a brilliant time at the Open House today, I think because there was no pressure to finish the projects in a given time everyone had a chance to chat and stroke their new catalogues and the new products.

I bought Macaroons and fresh fruit... we never did make it to the cake... though apparently I make nice coffee.

As it was a smaller group than I expected I gave each of the ladies a photopolymer stamp set to try out with a pack of ribbon with matching buttons. I think they were a bit surprised but hopefully in a nice way.

We used the new Something for Baby set - which will be available from the 1st of July, we also used the coordinating framelits as well as the Hearts Collection framelits and Decorative Dots embossing folder.

Here are a few of our creations.

The sentiment is from a new set too... Something to Say. Hope you like them!

Back tomorrow with some Project Life!
