Cards for church


I have started to make some cards for my church to have on hand to send out. For these I'll be using mainly paper, stamps, ink and low profile embellies since I don't want there to be a postage problem. I had so much fun using some of my new PTI stamps for these. I also used one of my new Cuttlebug embossing folders, so cute. Thanks for stopping by!


Supplies:
Stamps: PTI (women of life, everyday blessings, faux ribbon, leaf pattern don't know by who)
Ink: Versafine Black, Palette, Belle Rose, Toile Pink, Jardon Moss, Burnt Umber
Other: Cuttlebug, swiss dots embossing folder, flower dies

Baby Blessing Box

I've had baby on the brain since I am due with my little girl in 7 weeks (or so). My baby shower is coming up in a couple of weeks and I wanted to do something special, so I came up with this idea of a blessing box. I will put cards in it and will ask each guest to write a blessing or wish for my baby and I will (along with her dad and grandparents) add to it each year. Then when she is older I will give it to her as a special gift. I am happy with how it turned out and can't wait to meet my little girl!



Supplies:

Box: $1 spot at Mikes

Stamps: PTI, Beautiful Blooms

Ink: Color Box Queue, Pastel pink. Palette, Landscape

Ribbon: Dashes and Dots from Mikes

Tools: Cuttlebug (Alpha) QK Flourish die, 1"circle punch

Patterned Paper I've had:)

My Boy

I had such a fun time doing this LO. My son was 7 months old in these pictures...so cute. I used all CTMH papers which are just so pretty, love how they do so much of the work for you. I painted chipboard letters, cut out a few paper flowers with my Cricut and did quite a bit of stitching with my sewing machine. I am really happy with how it came out.
