Good morning, Steph here again and I've got babies on the brain today.  My niece is having a baby soon and I knew this little Baby Carriage die from Memory Box would be perfect for a baby card.  

I started by creating a 5 1/2" square card from Burgundy Linen Cardstock.  This is a wonderful quality cardstock that is perfect for a card base.   You know I love the papers in the Love Letters Paper Pad and I had just the right papers left.  This paper pad has allowed me to create a lot of different cards.   Using three different sheets of pattern paper, I created the layers for the card.  Then I used Augusta Green Linen to cut the baby carriage.  Love the details of this die.
  

Before assembling the card, I wrapped ribbon around it and tied some Doodle Twine around it.  I mounted the baby carriage on two layers of Spellbinders Nested Oval Medallion Dies.  A little brown ink between the layers allows the two dies to stand out.  Joy Foam Adhesives behind the dies created a three dimensional effect.

 
The sentiment is a rub-on from My Sentiments Exactly.  It's actually from the Graduation pack, but I thought it was quite appropriate for this card.  I placed the sentiment on the card with a double layer of Joy Foam Adhesives as I needed it to stand apart from the card.

Windows with Red Gingham Curtains


Hi, it's Holly posting today.  How about a sweet and simple window card for your inspiration today?



I had fun putting all these different die cuts together.  Basically, I started by cutting all the elements and then I glued them down onto a red card base.  I stamped the sentiment from the Floral Vintage Labels Two set with black ink directly below the window.  

The dies that I used are as follows:

Grand Madison Window - cut with white cardstock
Plush Curtains - cut with red cardstock for the valance
Plush Curtains - cut again with red gingham paper from Summer Fresh 6x6 paper pad
Walking Cat - cut with black cardstock

There's so many different colors, papers, and scenes you can create with this great window die.  Check out all the dies and stamps in the Classy Cards 'n Such store to get ideas for creating your own window cards.  :-)
Holly is right!  There are so many cute variations of this card that could be made.  Try your hand at it too, won't you??

Thanks for stopping by!!!   Until next time...

Blog candy WINNER!!!

Did you see Holly's cute Country Jar of Flowers card yesterday?   Vicki Romaine is the lucky winner of the Tall Canning Jar die cut from Memory Box offered on that post!



A note from Holly:

I love the ideas that all you ladies came up with.  Bumblebees would be adorable in this jar - that reminds me of the lightning bugs we used to catch when I was a kid.  How cute would it be to fill this jar with water and and have a fish or two in it?  My nephews would love that for a birthday card!  I love the idea of a ship in a bottle!  How creative is that?  Wouldn't that be nice for a Father's Day card??  And a vellum jar with vintage buttons would be so beautiful.  I can just see that in my head with lace and maybe a thimble and some scissors.....  oooohhh!!!   

Thank you so much for your comments and wonderful ideas, ladies!!
I appreciate everyone who commented with such great ideas!

Thanks for stopping by!!!  Until next time...
