Baptismal Dress

I don't believe I've ever shared this card with you.  I received it last year when I swapped with Paulette Paulson from Minnesota.  It's been in my basket ever since so my customers can see it.  I finally took a picture of it to share with you.

Once she cut the regular size card (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") using Shimmery White card stock and cut the arms, she used the 1-1/4" Circle punch to punch out the neckline.  She ran it through the "Elegant Lines" embossing folder using the Big Shot.  Then finished it off with the white ribbon and the scallop circle punch around the neck.  So beautiful!

Birthday Candles

I wanted to share this card that I made.  It's a perfect card to use up your scraps of card stock.  The candles measures 1/2" x 2-1/2".  I then ran them through the Big Shot using the "Elegant Lines" embossing folder.  The flames are from the Bird Builder Punch (they're actually suppose to be the wing of the bird).  I punched them out using Daffodil Delight card stock, sponged the bottom half with pumpkin pie and the very bottom with Cajun Craze.

The saying is from "Bring on the Cake" stamp set and I stamped it on the "Decorative Label" punch.

Serene Silhouettes

This card I'm using 3 new items in the catalog

Midnight Muse  (the new In Color)

Serene Silhouettes stamp set

Delicate Doilies Large Sizzlit

I also used "Perfectly Penned" for the Happy Birthday (which is not new)

Baby Dresser

I made this card for my cousin Brooke's baby shower a couple weeks ago.  She already knows she's going to have a little girl. 

HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS: 

Start with a piece of Pretty in Pink card stock measuring 4" x 10".  Using the decorative label punch punch out the bottom using a portion of the punch.  This makes the legs of the dresser.

Cut 3 pieces of card stock measuring 1" x 3-1/2" for the drawers.  The top of the dresser measures 1/2" x 4-1/4".

Sponge the card, drawers, and the dresser top with Pretty in Pink.

Adhere the 2 bottom drawers onto the card.  Attach the top drawer with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I used the "BABY BUNDLE" stamp set with black Stazon, colored with the Pretty in Pink marker, and cut them out.

I finished off the dresser by using the "Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack"  and punching out 6 little flowers to use as drawer pulls.  I added little pearls to the inside of the flowers.

I hope you try making this card.  Let me know if you need any supplies.
