Baby blessings

Hello everybody! How are you doing? How was your summer? Did you go anywhere or did you just relax at home? We did a little bit of everything. :) 

Earlier this month our friends welcomed a new baby boy into the family. We haven't seen the little guy yet, but we hope to soon. I made a baby card to give to the happy couple when we meet. And today I want to share this card with you.

I chose one of the sweet dino stamps from Clearly Besotted and I coloured it with polychromos. I decided to go for a CAS look and went through my huge pile of paper scraps to find some that I wanted to use on my card. After it was all put together I decorated the card with some sequins.

I hope you are enjoying these last days of August. xx

I'd like to nter my card to the following challenges:

Pixie's crafty workshop: Add some sparkle

We love Chocolate Baroque: Favourite stamps (the dinos from the Clearly besotted set are definitely my favourite stamps for making baby cards)

It's twins

Heya! How are you doing? I've had pretty intense week so far. So much has been going on... On top of everything I had an accident the other day and now I can't craft. Boohoo! With holidays fast approaching this definitely isn't something I need, especially since I still need to make maaaaany more Christmas cards to send to my friends and family members. How are you doing with your Christmas cards? All done yet? Or haven't even started? Or maybe you are half-way through? Well, not matter how far alon are you (or even if you haven't started yet), you still have some time to play with your Christmas supplies. ;)

The card I am about to show you is not Christmas though. It's acutually a baby card. :) One of my friends gave birth to twins and I made this card for her.

She had two boys, so I chose greenish and yellow tones on my card. I used papers from Me to you and some leftover paper scraps from my stash. For the "frame" I used washi tape. I covered a piece of white cardstock with washi tape and then just used rectangle dies to get the shape I wanted. 

Clearly besotted has this adorable stamp set called "Hot stuff" and I thought these cute dragons from the set were perfect for my card. And what's even better, there are sentiments in the stamp set that are perfect for when someone gives birth to twins. At first I wanted to use "double trouble" (naughty, I know lol), but I changed my mind and used "double the joy" instead.

To decorate the card I used some pearls, sequins, ribbon, gems.

That's it from me for today. Have a wonderful day! xx
