Twins!

 A neighbour is expecting twins and they have a habit of coming early, so I thought I'd better be prepared!

I don't know what the gender of the babies will be, so I have made a neutral one above - and can colour the hearts blue and pink if there is one of each

A pink card if they are both girls and a blue one if 2 boys arrive!

Old Tattered Lace Magazine dies

 

Tattered Lace magazines can be quite expensive, so I like to make sure that I use their freebie dies as often as possible. This cute elephant dates from April 2019 ( issue  65)  and has been used to make loads of new  baby cards

The pirate die and papers come from issue 71

This purple flower is from a more recent issue, 86. Its supposed to be a wild fuchsia , but to me looks more like a violet!

Baby Girls

There seem to be a lot of baby girls expected amongst friends and work colleagues, so I thought I'd better get prepared!

Made a few different styles and sizes

I went to The Range earlier on to buy a few basics - double sided tape, card blanks and glue dots and this reduced X-Cut Moroccan Tile die fell into my basket too!

I like the effect cut into holographic card on the baby card above - plus its quite effective in plain white as well!

Every cloud has a silver lining!

The atrocious weather over the last few days has meant more time for crafting!

 I've been beavering away in my craft room and this is a selection of  new baby congratulation cards that I made.

New Baby Girl Cards

Whipped up a couple of baby girl cards for my Charity box - I love making cute cards!

A new member of the family

Congratulations to my niece who has just had a baby girl - Maddison Jean.

I dusted off my old Sizzix baby dies to made this card for her and her husband.

Cards for a Baby Boy

I've had this stamp of a large teddy bear for ages and so thought it was about time it was used! The wooden embellishments were from from a Christmas pack, but thought they worked well with the bear.

Has anyone spotted the 'deliberate' mistake on the second card --- yes I've just noticed that the heart background paper is upside down!!

Congratulations to the blog winner

Well done to No 12 - Applejack who was the number drawn out of the hat - I hope you enjoy your candy bits and pieces!


Now that the weather is warmer and that the flowers are starting to bloom, I have been in the mood to make some cute baby cards!


Eldest son treated me to the latest Docrafts goodie bag as part of my Mothers Day present and I have had a lot of fun using these cute Forever Friends die cuts to make them. 


I also got some lovely smellies, basket of flowers and box of chocolates from youngest daughter, so felt very spoilt.
