Baby Gift Toppers

I made both these gift toppers for gifts for my niece Heather's baby shower today.  The top tag has a flower made from strips of folded and layered B&T paper.  On the little 3.5" x 3.5" gift card, I stamped a hibiscus from CTMH's "Extreme Happiness" stamp set, then cut out and added a little baby stamped from CTMH's "Playday" stamp set.  The baby is colored with copic markers and attached with dimensional adhesive.

Jack's Birthday Card

I made this birthday card for my mom to give to her great grandson, Jack.  The colors are brighter in person than in the picture.  I used CTMH key lime and pacifica.  All the stamps are CTMH.  The little ball player was colored with copics.

Pool Scene H2H challenge

This week's H2H challenge was to create a scene using at least three different stamps.

I made this pool scene with Paper Lantern (lanterns); Play Day (boy and sentiment); Adorning Corners (waves); and Surf's Up (surf board).  The background is the B-side to one of the Fanfare papers, and the water is Pacifica CS.  The yellow CS is Sunny Yellow.  The surfboard has clear sparkles along its length, and the flowers and lanterns all have pearl embellishments.  I used dimensional adhesive on the little boy.  If this looks a little familiar, I made a similar card in July 09, but I think the lanterns, which weren't available then, work great.

Girl Jump Roping Birthday Card

This card pattern is called Cubed Collage and it's from CTMH's newest cardmaking instruction book entitled Wishes. The book helps with the basic pattern and dimensions, then you provide the creativity. I used the Playday and Fringed Phrases stamp sets and the Animal Cookies creative basics papers.

Tropical Birthday Card

This card uses the stamp sets Playday, Good Times, Fringed Phrases, Surf's Up, and Adorning Corners. The background paper is Animal Cookies. There is a lot of bling on the title and surfboard, and pearls in the center of the flowers.

Welcome Baby Card

I used my Cuttlebug, Nestability Dies, and the stamp sets Welcome Baby, Surf's Up, and Playday. The colors are Indian Corn Blue, Sweet Leaf, and Cocoa, and the background paper is from the Emporium paper pack. The baby and umbrella are highlighted with liquid glass.
