Stampin Up Welcome Baby for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Hi and Welcome Baby! I had a couple of baby cards for showers last month.  I found this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge to be perfect to create a few cards.  They are very similar but each has it's unique image.

Here's this week's sketch

Here's the same card with the badge and sentiment in different colors. The panels of printed papers are switched up a little bit and my colored image is different.

I did a third card with the chick images from the Stampin Up Heaven Blessed images.  I like the rabbits better.  I gave both of the above cards to coworkers having boys.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Badges and Banners stamp set from 2016

Stampin Up Best Badge and Duet Banner punches

Stampin Up Heaven Blessed

Stampin Up Not Quite Navy and Rich Razzleberry inks

Distress Hickory Smoke

various alcohol markers

The Paper Studio earth tone 12x12 paper pad

Sizzix Fold-a-long Elephant with Prima Pretty Mosaic Papers card

Welcome, I have created a very sweet shaped card today using my Sizzix Fold-a-long Elephant die.  It had been sitting in my stash for a while and I had reason to create a baby card.  I thought this die set would make a sweet card.  This is actually the second card.  This one is for my stash. The original card was in blues for a baby boy.  It was given immediately but I did snap a photo or two.  I will share it at some point.

I scored the paper stack second hand on Facebook Marketplace. I was shopping someone's stash and just fell in love with the lavender prints.  The velvet pink ears are also a second hand purchase.

The dark card stock is much lighter in person.  Here it appears black but it is really grey.  In fact, the eyelashes and tail are the same paper just the lighter side.

Ingredients:

Sizzix Fold-a-long Elephant die set

Prima Pretty Mosaic paper

misc card stock and velvet paper

Welcome, Baby Shaker card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge

Hello and welcome to my latest inspiration for this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #334.  I made a welcome card for a baby.  I spent my time decorating with The Robyn's Nest drops, although they don't look that straight in the photos.

Here's the sketch from Atlantic Hearts challenge blog.

I created this card with the following steps:

1. Cut a window with double stitched rectangle dies leaving a nice stitched window. 
2. Cut the patterned paper background 4.20" x 5.5", with just a little room inside for the fold.
3. Layer acetate behind the window.
4.  Layer foam around the inside edge, add confetti and adhered the patterned paper.
5. Cut the sentiment with Cricut Maker and adhere across front of window.
6. Arrange drops around outside edge of window.

A close up of the card.

Ingredients:

Our Daily Bread Designs double stitched rectangle die

The Robyn's Nest Tear Drops and Dew Drops

Cricut Signature Script font

acetate and various card stock and patterned paper

Zoo Baby confetti
