Sweet Baby

These baby projects I did a while ago & I realized that I had never shared them on my blog.  The baby stamp set is from Amuse Studio called Bundle of Joy.  It looks like it is still available on the Amuse Studio website.  There are matching dies available but I did not use them in my projects.  

On the card, I used a background stamp for two of the banners and then die cut them using the Mini Banner die set.  The other two banners are die cut from Sky and Pebble Petite Hexagon card stock.  For the crepe paper, I cut slits with a scissors to make a fringe border.

Happy St. Pat's Day!

It was a challenge to come up with some St. Patrick's Day cards using all Amuse Studio Products but here is my attempt!

On this card I used the smallest Amuse Studio Heart Die to form a shamrock.  I stamped a pattern on sugar cardstock to make a background.

ahhnouncing...

This is the card I made for a card swap I did with other amuse|studio Creative Consultants.  We were asked to use a stamp set from the 2012 Catalog.  I always struggle to come up with good guy cards and I'm excited that this stamp set called ahhnouncing by amuse|studio is perfect for those occasions!  I have several male birthdays during the month of March.

I'd Never Forget...

This card idea came from Page 53 of the 2012 amuse|studio Catalog & Inspiration Guide.  Our new Under the Big Top stamp set has this cute little elephant stamp in it.  I started out with our pebble cardstock for the card base.  I stamped the elephant first with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I then masked the elephant's feet & stamped the platform he is standing on followed by the oval shadow under the platform.  I used a design from Mod Backgrounds 2 & stamped in orange on sugar cardstock for the head dress & blanket & then paper pieced them on the elephant.
