Baby Cards

Creative With Stamps Challenge #16: Celebrate

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Time flies...it's July already!!!
There's a new Challenge at Creative with Stamps!!!

Our Sponsor:

4 images from Bugaboo Stamps

*******************************

When I decided on the theme, I was thinking "July 4th Celebrations"...but since I have some friends expecting...I thought I would make a baby card:

I stamped a couple of images (Stampin'Up!) on a panel, and added a strip of washi tape.

I distressed the edges and adhered it on the card base.

I used my Cricut and Flower Market CTMH cartridge for the baby basket.

Before adhering it to card, I stamped and colored the bunny with alcohol-ink based makers.

I added 2 paper flowers and used Dimensional Magic in the centers.

I cut out some shapes using my Scan'NCut (I covered one panel with washi tape and cut it out), stamped and colored the sentiment, layered and adhered the medallion on with foam tape.

Finally, I added some ribbons.

Create up to 3 cards, don't forget the stamping (digis are welcome!) and link up HERE for a chance to win a prize from our sponsor!
