FM #74: Give pleats a chance!

This week our talented Amy hosts the challenge at the Friday Mashup. It is a sweet challenge because it is about babies. But besides that, you have to use the pleated technique.

For my card I used an image that could perfectly be painted with watercolor. I've had this stamp set for a while (Two by Two 126788), but I haven't used until now. Does it happen to you that you buy a stamp set because you love that image and then when you receive it, you are so excited that you put it on the shelf and it stays sitting there for I don't know how long? Grrrrrr! I hate when that happens. Now I am a little bit more aware of that, and when I purchase a stamp set I try to use it right away at least once with any project. I am improving a little, lol.

Going back to my card, I cut out the clouds by hand, and stamped some butterflies in the sky.  I am pretty pleased with how my card turned out! Check out the great creations of the DT! Have fun and I hope to see you in the gallery.

Hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks for stopping by!

The Friday Mashup #53

This is my first card as a guest designer for The Friday Mashup. I'll be a guest designer for April. I am so happy for that and I want to thank the team one more time, for giving me the chance to share my creativity with all of you.

The theme for this challenge is tic tac toe or special fold, and I mashed it up and created a card with lace, for baby and using neutral colors as the tic tac toe, and a detachable bookmark as the special fold. The boat is made out of felt and then hand stitched.

Hope you like my creation, and check out the other creations at The Friday Mashup Challenge blog!

A Bingo Card for Our Creative Corner

Can you believe that I haven't used the Bingo Card Stamp Set since I bought it last year? I had purchased it with the idea of doing a kind of Bingo game for Christmas with my family but as always, time plays a very important role in my life, and I couldn't make it on time.

When I saw the Our Creative Corner Challenge for this week, I said "Perfect!", this is my time to get the dust off this stamp set and get it ready to go, lol. And so here is my creation, which can be used for a baby shower or after the baby is born. I love to make the animals pop out their faces in different positons in the square. Hope you like it. Enjoy!

Thanks for popping by!

Pals Paper Arts #131

I haven't participated in the Pals Paper Arts Challenge for a while. For this challenge, there is a sketch to follow and I wanted to create a baby room using that sketch. The stamp set that I used for that purpose was Little Additions. This is a set that I have used a few times but for this card, I used nearly all the stamps that come in the set.

I would have loved to create a baby with punches to put in the crib, but I didn't have a sample handy and I didn't want to look for it on the internet because I was so concentrated on creating the room for the baby that I didn't want to lose my inspiration. So the baby will come when she is born, lol. If you have an idea on how to create a baby with punches, I'd appreciate if you could share it with me. Hope you like my baby room. Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Baby shower card for Freshly Made Sketches

I don't make many baby shower cards, but it is nice to have them ready for when the occasion comes. I love to use subtle colors for these cards. I consider that these colors give a delicacy to the card just as a baby can be so delicate. I have four children, three grown ups (in their 20s), and the baby of the house is twelve, and I haven't gone to many baby showers since I haven't experienced that stage with my children yet, so that's probably why I am not into making baby shower cards often.

That's why I decided to make a baby shower card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Enjoy!
