Another Baby Girl
Today’s challenge at Splitcoast was the inspiration challenge. One of my favorites! We were to take inspiration from this website featuring parties in a box. Just add Cake. We were encouraged to use the safari theme, but were allowed to use a different party box if we wanted. Since I don’t have anything that I thought would be suitable for a safari theme, I went with the baby shower box. I really liked the napkins and invites which are neopolitan icecream coloured. This is what I came up with!
I thought the card called for simple since I wanted the colours to be the main focus. I almost didn’t add the ribbon and the bling, but I’m glad I did in the end! Since this card is pretty simple I think it explains itself.
Recipe:
Stamps: So Many Scallops
Paper: Very Vanilla, Pretty in Pink, Close to Cocoa
Ink: Chocolate chip
Accessories: Crystal rhinstones, pink grosgrain ribbon, scallop punch
Thanks for looking!

Sweet Baby Girl
I’m not sure if you remember me talking about a card that I didn’t want to show you or not, but I will show it to you now, because I redid it! I like it much better. Actually I sold it too! (Well, my wonderful Mom did when she took a bunch of my cards to her office!)
Pretty cute huh? To redo it, I took the center pieces off the ivory base I had it on before and put it on the pink base. All because a sentiment I stamped was crooked! Such a perfectionist I am! So I believe this is definitely a card for a new baby girl. There’s a lot of pink! I started with a Pretty in Pink base, then added some very Vanilla, some polka dotted paper, more Pretty in pink, then some more Very vanilla with a scalloped edge. I added a bit of Stickles to the Sweet One layer. The final touches were the bronze brads and the dew drops.
Thanks for looking!

For Baby
I love Sunday’s at Splitcoast because it’s the featured stamper challenge day! This week happened to me Amy from Pickled Paper Designs. I just love Amy’s cards. All of them! It was so hard for me to chose just one to case, but I ended up going with this one: Live Your Dream Thanks. This is what mine ended up being:
I changed the blue and basically reversed the colours. A friend of mine is expecting a baby boy in June so I thought I would make this for her using my new baby stamp from Stamping Bella. Isn’t it cute? I believe everything else is pretty self explanitory
Recipe:
Stamps: baby from Stamping Bella, background stamp from Boho Backgrounds
Paper: Soft sky, Always Artichoke, Barely Banana, Whisper White
Ink: Versamagic (spanish olive), soft sky
Accessories: white eyelets, corner rounder, soft sky double stitched ribbon, SU! rub on
