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:

All For Friends - Baby Boy Card

Hi all,

Hope all's well with you all and you're having a good Bank Holiday weekend :) After doing a little blog hopping for some inspiration, came across a lovely Baby card by a fellow demonstrator, Julie and decided to christen my Hostess Level 2 set from the new Mini Catalogue called "All For Friends".

Have made a baby boy card, but seeing as I really enjoyed this one, I think I'll make a girl version too! :) Watch this space...

Anyway, decided to use my "Queue Up" stamp set for the background of the card, using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line up and stamp across the card. Stamped the babygrows three times onto Patterns Designer Series Paper and again onto Whisper White cardstock so that I could cut and adhere to the babygrows. I do love the effect of paper piecing, and the Designer Series papers are just gorgeous - something I don't use a lot of! lol. Anyway, did a bit of drawing on the Whisper White cardstock using the Stampin' Write Marker in Ballet Blue and with the Uni-Ball Signo Gel Pen in White onto the Ballet Blue cardstock. Popped all three babygrows on dimensions and voila :) Really pleased with this card, and can't wait to make the girl version soon.

Here's the card I've been waffling about:


Stamps: Queue Up (Hostess Level 3), All For Friends (Hostess Level 2) and Nursery Necessities.
Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Ballet Blue and Whisper White. Patterns Designer Series Paper - Bashful Blue.
Inkpad: Ballet Blue and Bashful Blue.
Accessories: Scallop Edge Border Punch, Word Window Punch, 3/16" Gingham Ribbon - Light Blue, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Stampin' Write Marker - Ballet Blue, Uni-Ball Signo Gel Pen - White, SU Bone Folder, Paper Snips and 3D dimensionals.
Card Size: A6.­

Thanks for coming by, have a good day.

Another Week...

Hi all,

It's another week gone by since my last blog post. It's been a very hectic week this week, so apologies for not being able to do any blogging. I can however, show off my sneak peeks that I posted earlier :)

Remember I mentioned that my Mum's friends son and wife had a baby. Here is the card I sent them:


I also made a matching box so that I could fit in some little socks in, but unfortunately, when I bought the little socks there was so much card/packaging, they were unable to fit and I was short of time, so I couldn't make another box :( I'm sure I'll make a use for this box another time:


Have a good weekend.

Bye for now,

Baby Sneak Peeks

Hi all,

Well where has the week gone to? I don't know where, but it's now Friday again.

Recently had good news that my Mum's good friend's son and his wife have recently had a baby boy, so thought I'd make a card and a box to hold a little something for the new baby :)

Here are a few sneak peeks until I know it's safe to do so.

Have a good weekend :)

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).
