A Baby gift - Onesies

These are the onesies that I created for my new little nephew!! I used several fun Stampin' Up! sets. The inks I used are Palette inks from Papertrey. They are a hybrid ink. I used spring moss, burnt umber, summer sunrise, and lemon tart. Before you can start to stamp on fabric, you need to wash it and them dry it without fabric softener. The stamp your images with some sort of cardboard so the ink does not bleed through. Then you will need to heat set your stamped images. I did this by placing the onesies in the dryer for 15 minutes on high heat.

For the one on the left, I used the bear from the retired set called Happy Camper. The star stamp and the saying are from Under the Stars. For the middle one, I used the Bronc Buster set. For the one on the right, I used the Bugs and Kisses set. I also stamped on the back side and the sleeves of each of them too! Oh and I have to add that I did use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to help me position my stamps just right!!!

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a very creative day!!!

Baby Shower Card and Onesies

I love the new baja breeze ribbon from Stampin' Up! And I love this combo... Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, and Close to Cocoa. I made this card for a friend's baby shower!

The stamp sets I used were Fun & Fast Notes and Riveted (which is retired). For inks I used Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, and Chocolate Chip. And for card stock I used Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Close to Cocoa, and Whisper White. This was my first chance to use some of the new designer paper from the catalog. It's called Bella Rose. For the main image, I used the blender pen with the Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss and then the white gel pen. I used the ticket corner punch and then used dimensionals to layer it onto the other layers. I created the saying by using the 1 1/4 and the 1 3/8 circle punches! I also cut out the circle for the diaper pin and attached it with another dimensional. For the rest of the card I used the 1 3/8 square punch and punched out squares from the Bella Rose dp and Baja Breeze (embossed with Cuttlebug's Swiss Dots folder). I attached those to the close to cocoa cs. I also added the new Baja Breeze striped ribbon!

Sorry about the bad picture, but I also wanted to show you the onesies that I stamped for part of the gift!!! I took this right before I ran out the door for the shower because I forgot to take a picture earlier. Anyway, I used the Bugs and Kisses set and Best Friends Alphabet Lower (retired). I used burnt umber and water lily green Palette Hybrid ink (not from SU). Before I started stamping on them, I washed them and then put them in the dryer with no fabric softner. From what I read this part is important. On the first one I stamped the little one's name along with some bugs. I also stamped some ants on the sleeves on both of them. You can't really see the other one, (sorry!!) but I stamped three of the bugs and the then the saying "bugs and kisses" underneath them. On the back of both of the onesies, I stamped the saying "Cute as a Bug" from the same set!!! I also heat set them in the dryer for 15 minutes to set the ink. I tied them up with the baja breeze striped ribbon.

Love that baja breeze striped ribbon!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I wish you a very creative day!!!

Cute as a Bug!

I have stamped on and off this past week, but have not had a chance to post anything!! Life just gets so busy sometimes! Hopefully I will be able to post something and stamp a little too this week!!

I created this card using Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge! (WSC45) This was a fun sketch to create!!! The card is going to be a birthday card for a 3 year old little girl! I think she will love the bright colors and the cute little bugs!!

All products are from Stampin' Up! except for the various flower punches. I used whisper white, lovely lilac, and tempting turquoise card stock. The dp was from Flowers for You. The set is Bugs and Kisses. I stamped the saying and the bugs in pixie pink and perfect plum classic ink. I punched those out with the 1 3/8 square punch. I rubbed the edges in the ink pad that I used for the bug in the square. I then used the mat pack and the paper piercing tool to give a boarder to this layer and the layer with the saying. I used dimensionals to pop the layer with the two cute bugs. on the top corner, I punched out flowers of two sizes (the smaller flower is from the $1 section @ Target and the other...I am not sure???) in the two colors. I added a rose red eyelet using my crop-a-dile to each flower.

Thanks for looking and enjoy!!!

A Dragonfly and Ladybug Party

I used Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge (SC162) for today to create this cute birthday card for a little girl I know! I think she will really like it!

All products are from Stampin' Up! I chose to use the Bugs and Kisses set for the main images and saying! The base of the card is whisper white cs. I use the Flowers for You dp, along with certainly celery, orchid opulence, and pretty in pink cs. The dragonfly, ladybug, and saying are stamped in basic black classic ink on to whisper white cs. The ladybug was also stamped in pretty in pink on another sheet of paper, cut out, and then dazzled with dazzling diamonds. The same was done to the dragonfly wings, but I colored the wings with my stampin' pastels before I added the dazzling diamonds to make it sparkle! Then I just glued the body between the wings on to the other dragonfly! The wings just curled up like that! Cute isn't it!!! I also used a flower stamped in pretty in pink and wild wasabi from the Time Well Spent set. I used VersaMark on the backgrounds for the other two layers. The dots on the pretty in pink cs are from the Polka Dots and Paisley set. I used my ticket corner punch to add a fun touch to each of the layers!!!

Enjoy!!!
