Baby Shower Invitations

Hello!

I can type with two hands again. Yay!  The anti inflammatory and brace have helped so much :)  I'm looking forward to getting scrappy tonight!

Just wanted to pop in to finally share those baby shower invitations that I made back in March. It feels like a lifetime ago. I haven't posted this on my blog before but my nephew was born 2 months early on March 23rd, just a few weeks after we mailed out the invitations.  His name is Kaleb and he is doing fabulous! He will be 9 weeks old tomorrow.  I get to see him again this weekend and I can't wait :)  Yes, I'm a proud auntie for sure.

I created these pocket cards using directions from Splitcoast Stampers~

The inserts were stamped using an invitation stamp from Taylored Expressions - although I'd recommend creating something on the computer to save time. I didn't think of that as I had my heart set on using the stamp. The monkey, zebra and lion were all cut using the Create a Critter cricut cartridge. I made 40 altogether between the 3 styles.  I picked up the "It's a Shower!" stamp from Joann Fabrics. I got to use up lots of old blue cardstock and the patterned paper is from a small DCWV stack. 

Here's a picture of me and my nephew taken this past weekend :) 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Paper Cutz Challenge #58

TGIF!!

Today's Paper Cutz Challenge is to make a card, LO, or craft project using a tag or tags and any colors/theme you'd like. I took a different approach to traditional tags and decided to make a pocket card. The insert is my tag. I really love how it turned out!

Here is a side view with the tag peeking out of the pocket~

and here is the full view of the tag~

The paper is all from the American Crafts Jolly collection. I cut the strip of trees from a scrap leftover from a card. The snowflakes are from an old sheet of stickers and the sentiment is from Amuse.

Now it's your turn. Show us your tags! Please link your creation using tags to the Paper Cutz Challenge blog by next Thursday and while you are there check out all the wonderful samples from the Design Team!

Have a fantastic weekend!! I'll be working on lots of wedding details and hopefully getting some crafty time in!

PTT #8

It’s Tuesday and time to PARRRRR-TAY!

I love today’s challenge, it’s to make a POCKET card (birthday themed of course!!)  I used a tutorial from SCS which you can find here.

This is the first time I’ve ever made one and it was SOOO easy, why did I wait so long to try it?? LOL

I made this for my niece who is turning 13 next month, the pocket is perfect for some cash or a gift card! The image is from the TGF set Rain, Snow Shine.  She was lots of fun to color!

Here is the insert ~
