Side Step Card - Baby Girl (Another)

Morning peeps :)

Okay, I promise this will be my last Side Step Card from me for a little while ;) After making one for a baby girl, then a baby boy the other day I just caught the bug for them! I decided to make another one, just because I can't get enough of them, so have changed the "clothes" hanging out of the top drawer and the sentiment stamps :)

Hope you like:

Side Step Card - Baby Girl

Hi all,

Well time is sure flying by and I don't know where the sunshine is :S

Was surfing the internet earlier looking for inspiration when I came across this cute card here. Just knew after seeing this, that I just had to make one! lol. I have no-one expecting a baby, but you never know when it's needed ;) I am gradually accumulating a box of cards to go to when I'm caught short, so this will add to the others :)

So, without further ado, here's my take on the card for a baby girl...

Baby's 1st Birthday!

Hi all,

Hope your day's been okay and you're looking forward to the weekend now :) I can't believe it's come around so quickly already!

Found a spare moment and thought I'd start to upload a few baby cards that I've been commissioned for recently using Stampin' Up! stamp sets, buttons and various Designer Series Paper. Check out Stampin' Up! May Offer as you still have until 31 May to buy three packs of Designer Series Paper and choose a fourth pack for free! There's no limit to what you can do with the DSP - I have used these patterned papers for my cardmaking, but you can use it for any scrapbooking layouts, mini albums, 3D projects - whatever takes your fancy :)


Hope you like the below baby cards, enjoy!

Baby Girl's 1st Birthday


This card is a favourite of mine and was featured last month when this card was one of three cards made in my workshop. I have recreated this card using "Wild About You" stamp set and "Schoolbook Serif Alphabet" for the title.

Boy's 1st Birthday Cards

Here's a few boy cards below, making each one slightly different using the giraffe stamp from "Wild About You" stamp set:



Another Boy Birthday Card:

Last Boy Card using an Imaginisce stamp set of a cute baby giraffe:


Hope you've liked these cards, some have been inspired from the gallery over at SCS.

Thanks for looking, please feel free to leave a comment :)

Have a good weekend and be back later.

Long Weekend

Hi all,

Hope you're all having a lovely long Easter weekend. Been cardmaking all day today making a few cards and samples to add to my collection.

Loving the tutorial that Carole put on her blog recently, so after making a Father's Day Gift Wallet yesterday, thought I'd make a Christmas one today.

Christmas - Perfect Presents - Outside


Christmas - Perfect Presents - Inside


Next I decided to follow Monica's instructions on making invitations and came up with the following examples christening new stamp sets I've recently bought since becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Invitation - Baby Announcement


Invitation - Girl's Birthday


Invitation - Boy's Birthday


Hope you had fun today and I'll be back tomorrow with more creations.

Bye for now,

Busy Bee...

Hi all,

Well, hope you're all well and looking forward to the weekend. As you know, I've been rather busy making an assortment of greeting cards so here are just a few to show you.

Baby Girl Card




Thank You Card - Outside

Thank You Card - Inside (Normally only insert one layer of whisper white cardstock to the inside of a card, but there's lots of people that will be signing this one, hence the double layer).
