Hello Baby - SUO #80

Its another gorgeous day in Melbourne after a chilly start of only 6 degrees it has turned out to be a warm and sunny 21!
Today's card is an opportunity to take a short break from Christmas cards and to join in with SUO Challenges and make a Baby card. I know of a few people expecting babies in the next week or so - so it is good timing! So this card is for a boy - 50% chance it will be needed :-)

The Baby Tees's wheel is inked in Marina Mist and then coloured with a blender pen and cut out individually. I wanted the Tees to look like they were on a washing line.

So used a neutral brad (retired) and some Island Indigo Bakers Twine to make the "line". The background DSP is first run through the Big Shot with the honeycomb EF and then lightly sanded to make the hexagons stand out a bit more.

The individual Hexagon is stamped with the Six Sided Sampler stamp set using the polka dot image and the greeting is from the Tiny Tags set and is cut out with the Bitty Banner Framelits.

And the inside of the card is just run over with the Baby Tees wheel too.

Card stock: Marina Mist, Whisper White

Designer Series Paper: Polka Dot Parade

Stamps: Baby Tee's Jumbo Wheel, Tiny Tags, Six Sided Sampler

Accessories: Big Shot, Honeycomb EF, Bitty Banner Framelits, Basic pearls, Organza Ribbon, Island Indigo Bakers Twine, Blender Pen, Hexagon Punch, Corner Rounder punch, Neutral Brads (retired)

Happy stamping until next time,

Boo for the First of the Month

October is always a favourite month for me - the middle of Spring with the weather getting warmer and time to plant the summer veggies in the garden....and getting close to Christmas! It has been a wild start to the month though with storms overnight and winds up to 140km/hr. There were a lot of trees down and roofs and cars damaged but we are ok!
Of course there is one other season at the end of this month that I don't normally have much to do with and that is halloween. It's not widely celebrated here in Australia - or back home in NZ. Some I know do take the "treat" part on for their neighbours. So in honour of neighbours here is a "Boo" card :-)

This card is a CASE (Case and Share EVerything) of a card I saw on Stampin Connection. I changed the colours of the base layers and added the Tangerine Tango - Black and orange right?  And added layers of Linen thread and the Jewellery tag layers. But the basic "bandaged ghost" idea of the original I kept intact. Very little stamping involved too!!

Card stock: Basic Black, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White

Ink: Basic Black

Stamps: Tiny Tags (retired)

Accessories : ( no Big Shot!!!) Cotton Trim ribbon, Jewellery Tag punch, Linen Thread, 3/4 and 1/2' round punches and Owl punch

Happy stamping until next time,
