Onsie Card

Well I was invited to my first co-worker baby shower and I wanted to try and make a really cute card.  So I surfed the net for something cute/unique and decided I'd make my own pattern.  I used Natural Twine to tie the giant buttons onto the card.  

Want the pattern?? Well hope on over to Whimsie Doodles and get it free!!

CASE study Anniversary

CASE Study turned three!!

Another year of inspiration and great challenges is behind us, and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!! We're pleased to see the 'old' fans come back for more, and new faces popping up ever so often - you're an inspiration to us as well and the reason to keep us going. 

To celebrate this great milestone, we prepared a week of Blog Hops featuring our former Muses and past & present Design Team gals. They will commence on the 1st (today), 3rd and 5th of August.

The Blog Hop participants are sharing their latest inspirations and how they translated them into the paper craft wonders. 

One of my most favorite cards is one I made for a friend of mine last year for Christmas, so when CASE study asked me if I'd like to CASE a card I jumped at the chance to make this card...

Here's my CASEd version

I used Circus Baby Lion from Whimsie Doodles to make these cards.

Just what we like best!

To sweeten things up a little bit more, we're offering prizes to those who complete the Blog Hop, by leaving the comments on every blog. 

If your hoping along with us then you would have arrived here from Clare's blog.

Now your next stop is too Eva's blog.

Baby Tags

Wanna know what's fun about making tags?  There little, scraps are perfect for decorting them and it only takes a few of embellishments to dress them up.  Then you can tie them to a gift or glue them to a card or whatever else you can think of.  The theme of today's tags is "Baby".

New Baby

While is was browsing Michael's I came across little kraft favor boxes that were so cheap I couldn't resist getting them. Of course they sat on my shelf for a couple of months until I finally had an idea. The images from the Baby Joy set from Whimsie Doodles will fit perfect in the little squares so I set off to make a baby boy gift box.

The "life saver" was made by punching out the small circle first then slipping the paper back into a larger circle.  It's easy to center if the little circle is punched first.

Diapers, tiny toes and bundles of joy

Well I've been MIA for the last few days.  But today I have a couple of cards to share using the Baby Joy stamp set from Whimsie Doodles.  

I've made a tutorial on how to make your own designer backgrounds here.

Whimsie baby card and sneak

I was blurfing the other day and came across an adorable card made by Melissa Phillips and just had to CASE it.  I made a simple baby rattle shape and decorated it with Baby Sentiments from Whimsie Doodles.

I enlarged the circle sentiment a little bit and framed it with a Nestie. 

And before I go here's a peak at the new June releases.

Don't forget to stop by the Whimsie Blog and leave your best guess as to what the peaks are for a chance to win them.

Vintage Baby Boy Card

Well it wouldn't hurt to have some baby cards on hand. You just never know who's gonna have a baby next and atleast I'll be prepared! LOL Here's a card I made using the most gorgeous stamp image ever. This is Willow with baby from Whiff of Joy.

Accordian Baby Girl Album

Warning today's post contains a lot of photos. Today I want to show you a baby girl album I made for a Secret Sister swap I'm at at SCS. My SS has a baby girl and hasn't found the time to start an album so I thought I'd make her an accordian travel album. The whole 5 page album fits inside a DVD. And I decorated the cover. I hope she likes it.

Have you noticed some of the baby stamps and sentiments are from the new stamp set "Oh Baby" by The Greeting Farm!

Oh Baby vintage cards

Today's cards are made from the newly released stamp set "OH Baby" from The Greeting Farm. I had so much fun with this set I had to force myself to stop making things with it! The baby images are just adorable in this set.

Here are the cards for today (this was my attempt at "Vintage" baby cards).

The Greeting Farm June Releases now available

Well it's new release day at The Greeting Farm!! So now I can show you somthing things I made with their new stamp sets. The stamps are being sold on The Greeting Farm blog due to some server issues, but that will be fixed soon.

I think I'll start with an altered tin using my new favorite TGF stamp set called OH BABY!!

The DP I used is actually from a digial kit I just printed and cut out. And of course I used my Oval Nesties! I can't tell you how excited I am about these new stamps!! They are soooooo CUTE!!

Shabby baby

I really wanted to make some baby cards today but I just didn't have any baby stamps so I made some paperpiecings. Then I thougth I'd add lots of stitching and inking to make the cards kinda vintage shabby looking.
The ducks and sheep were hand drawn by me.
