Baby Girls Everywhere

We have a lot of pregnant friends right now it seems (or friends that just had a baby), and I feel like a lot of them have been having baby girls. Which is fine by me because being a mom of two boys I love when the opportunity comes along to make and buy girly gifts.

Most recently I attended a baby shower for a sweet coworker of mine and I had so much fun making this dainty, girly card.

A list of supplies for this project is available at the bottom of the post. Unfortunately the "Baby We've Grown" set is no longer available but there are so many great substitutes in the baby category. Check out my website.

 

 

 

Happy Stamping,

Butterfly Sympathy

Again I am slacking in the blogging world, life is crazy but I try to do what I can. Sometimes I can hardly find enough time to even get something made, let alone blog about it. That being said, this one was made a little while ago, but it's so beautiful I just had to share!

 

If you want to recreate this card, check out the supply list at the bottom of this post! Also be sure to check out the weekly deals, listed just below the supply this for this project.

Throwback Thursday

I thought for a little bit of fun we would do a "Throwback Thursday" here on the blog! I was making cards for the upcoming Vendor's Market I am participating in at Moorefield United Church on Saturday and made this beauty. It's super cute, and "Retro" (hence the throwback).

 

Ingredients

Stamps: Say What

Ink: Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana

Paper: Calypso Coral, Baked Brown Sugar, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Word Bubble Framelits, Retro Fresh Washi Tape

 

Now remember the "Say What" stamp set, Coastal Cabana Ink (quite possibly my favourite colour of all time along with Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding) and Retro Fresh Washi Tape are retiring so get them while you can by visiting by online store.

 

Happy Stamping,

Sea Street Thank-You

Ever since I saw the Sea Street stamp set in the Demonstrator Preview of the 2014-2015 Annual Catalogue I fell in love! I had planned to make Gabriel's 2nd Birthday a Nautical themed party and use the sea street stamp set and maritime designer series paper, but unfortunately my mom had her accident and a big, fully decorated birthday was out of the question.

But his year, with my mom home safe and sound and not one but TWO birthday parties to plan, I am going to use them for sure! Gabriel is having a construction themed party (because he is turning 3 and he is totally into that right now) but Thatcher is going to have a Nautical themed party because I still think it is so cute, and he's turning 1 and doesn't have much of an opinion on these things, so I get to choose.

 

Ingredients

Stamps: Sea Street

Ink: Coastal Cabana, Rea; Red

Paper: Night of Navy, Maritime DSP, Whisper White

Accessories: 1 1/4 inch circle punch, 1 inch circle punch

 

Sweet but simple, and bonus, it can be used for a man! This is always something I have trouble with, and I know others do too so I hope this helps!

 

Happy Stamping,

Elizabeth Emma

Ingredients:

There will be various vendors inside and outside a bunch of yard sale tables! It's sure to be a great day!

Happy Stamping,

The Retired List and Cute Babies

I've been absent for a little while but it has been so gorgeous outside I have been playing with m sweet boys in the sunshine instead of crafting! The weather has turned colder and rainer this week and I have been back in the craft room a little bit. That and some great promotions going on.

DO you know the Retired List was released yesterday? And wow, is it ever big! There is a ton of things on there, some up to 50% off. I always get anxious when I see the retired list because sometimes some of my favourite products are leaving (I don't do well with change). But I have to remind myself (and you if you're anything like me) that it just means there are bigger, better and newer things coming along with the Annual Catalogue release on June 2nd!

Last week I whipped these baby cards up real quick, I made a boy one and a blue one. They're so cute and you can never have enough baby cards around (especially because right now I feel like my friends are having a major baby boom and I love it)! I recently acquired this set and I love it!

Ingredients
Stamps: Little Sunshine
Ink: Blushing Bride, Pool Party
Paper: Whisper White, Pool Party, Blushing Bride
Accessories: Heart Punch, Rhinestones, Bakers Twine, Word Bubble Framelits, Sweet Dreams Designer Buttons

Happy Stamping,
Elizabeth Emma
