Shaker card for baby boy

Today I made a shaker card for a baby.  I's been a while since I last made one, but the die "Midnight cover" from Mama Elephant cuts out a cicrle opening, or frame, and wanted the card to be extra special with golden star shaker elements.

The sentiment is cut out in gold mirri card and says "a beautiful prince". With the giraffe and its balloons, a cut out from Mintay baby boy book, I think this card could work as a new baby card or as a baby's first birthday card.

This card is for:
Just Us Girls - #739 Frame
Craft Rocket Challenges - #117 Animals
Sparkles Forum Challenges - #178 One for the Boys

INK #297 Clothing/closet

At Inkspirational we have a clothing or closet themed challenge for you. 
I made a baby card using a stamp with a clothing line with baby clothes. I chose grey and peachy colors and kept it quite clean and simple.

Baby shaker card with a heart

I've been joining an online scrapping event this weekend, arranged by a Norwegian store, and I made this card for one of their challenges.
I love seeing Valentine's cards, but I don't use any myself (or, maybe I'll make one, that's all I need), nor do any other family member, so decided to go with a baby card instead. 

I used a favorite embossing folder, it reminds me of a baby blanket. I cut out a heart window and added sequins, some of which were hearts, as shaker elements.

I used paper from an old paper pad from Pebbles and a die cut word, using an old die from Memory Box.

Just Us Girls - #662 Hearts

INK #268 - Precious

At Inkspirational we have a word prompt - precious. The first thought that came to mind was baby, so I made a baby card.

I used an embossing folder, two cut out squares from a DP, a onesie die and a baby rattle stamp.

Ink #259 - Technique challenge: Shaped card

For the first time at Inkspirational we have a technique challenge fortnight, and first up is the challenge of SHAPED CARDS. 

I pulled out my new Tonic Studios dies to make my shaped card. I made the layers with a starry DP, gold glitter paper and white cardstock. I used a freebie cloud embossing folder, gold paint for the star splatter and a Stamping Bella stamp. Coloring with metallic watercolor paints. The sentiment is for welcoming  newborn.

Mint colored baby card

I'm trying to build up my stash of cards while mojo is around, he has been unreliable for the first half of this year, but lack of time was also an issue. At least I can enjoy for now that I have a bit of both:)

My layout was inspired by one of the sketches over at Shopping our Stash, From Daring Cardmakers' photo I picked the colors, the bunny and circles (dotted embossed panel behind the image and the round pearls)

The bunny and sheep images are new to me, from Heartfelt Creations, but everything else is old.The Spellbinder frame die has been with me since back in 2012, which is when I started cardmaking. The banner and sentiment are made with Kaisercraft stamps, they've been with me for many years as well.

This card is for:
Daring Cardmakers - ELEMENTAL CHALLENGE
Shopping Our Stash - #451 - Let's Get Sketchy

Ink #241 - Slimline card

For our new challenge at Inkspirational Marlena has chosen 'slimline cards'.

I made a card for a baby boy, using an image from A Day for Daisies and a slimline die with circle cuts. Instead of adding the balloon and bunny next to eachother I added a blank circle in the middle and drew the string, I added a die cut sentiment and a crown.

Recipe 123 - 1 ribbon, 2 buttons, 3 layers

This week's challenge at Catch the Bug is a recipe challenge: 123 - 1 ribbon, 2 buttons, 3 layers.

I never know how to count layers, but I counted the DP background as one, the yellow strip as one and the image as one.
I colored teddy with Promarkers and added glossy accent to the balloon. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.

I was planning on adding this card to my baby card selection. But I guess it could be used for a toddler's birthday as well.

Ink #220 - Rain or rainbows

For our new challenge at Inkspirational we want to see either rain or rainbows.

I used Art Anthology mist for the background and a Mwemory Box stencil and gold Nuvo expanding mousse to make the starts. The sentiment is stamped with gold ink.
