Guest designer for Amazing Paper Grace

Hi, a few months ago I was asked to be a guest designer for Amazing Paper Grace  by Becca Feeken, owner of Amazing Paper Crace and designer for Spellbinders.

It was such an honor to be asked that I didn't have to think twice about accepting.

Becca sent me gorgeous dies to work with and during this month, November, 

I will share with you 4 projects I made using her dies.

Today, the first post, I'm sharing two cards I've created with the cute shapeabilities die 

"Bundle of Joy".

I made one in blue and one in pink.

The papers are from Prima Marketing, Heaven Sent.

Both cards have multiple layers.

I used white felt to make the flowers and also the bundle the stork has in 

his beak is cut out of felt.

For the flowers I used the blossoms dies from the Candlewick grand pocket die set.

Here you can find all Becca Feeken designed dies.

Baby card

Hi, today I've made a baby card with the Lullaby paper set by Lemoncraft. This is such an adorable paperset and perfect for baby cards, layouts and other projects. I also used these paper on my keepsake box project.

The colorsscheme is pink with yellow this time. I also used a few yellow crochet doilies and flowers from Allmacraft.

I folded a paper rosette to put under the sweet baby image and the sentiment is a word art from Weeds and wild flowers design.

I've added lots of pink and yellow paper flowers, white and pink leaves, felt hearts, lace and two pink feathers. I hope you like this card.

Baby card with foamiran flowers

Hello friends,

A few weeks ago I won first price at scrap and me challenge. I could pick out some wonderful goodies at the scrap and me shop. One of the items I picked was the Lemoncraft paperset: Lullaby 02 and today I've made a card with these papers.

The cute pink pram (and a few other pieces) are from my favorite online shop: Allmacraft.

I've made the foamiran flowers using white and pink foamiran sheets and different flower making die sets I have in my stash.

I've also added lace trims, pearl buttons, a fabric button, beads and paper leaves.

The sentiment is wordart from weeds and wildflowers designs. I printed the wordart on patterned paper and used a scalloped die to cut it out.

I would like to enter this card in these challenges:

Dream Little One

Last week I bought a second hand Cricut. It's one of the older versions and not what I was looking for (that I know now). Still it comes to use like on this baby card.  It's a really simple card with just two elements and a sentiment.

Baby Boy Card

A few months ago I found these cute little forest animals free download from Jeanin at some bits and pieces.
Today I used one of those animals on a baby card.

I just love the color combination of blue, white and kraft. It's perfect for a new baby card.
The tiny hearts paper is digital from this Etsy shop.

The sentiment is a combination of two word arts. The sweet beautiful baby part is from weeds and wild flowers design.

Don't mind Shaun, he's always hanging around my craft desk.

Little one

Yesterday I shared a milk carton project with you which had a cute bunny on it from kartenwind.
I made a card with that same bunny on it, not with an Easter theme but a baby theme this time.

The idea for this card came from Kelly Latevola on the Create a smile blog.

First I sponged the background using light pink, pink and light purple dye inks.

Just like Kelly did on her card I added text to make it more interesting. I stamped the word "baby" in the same 

light pink ink and little hearts in light purple.

I colored the bunny with spectrum noir markers.

Then I made the sentiment in word, using a brush font for the word "welcome" and printed it on vellum.

Participating in these challenges:

artistic inspirations: challenge 153

live laugh stamp: critters and creatures

love to scrap challenge: anything goes

crazy challenge: new baby

Thanks so much for stopping by. 

Hugs, Henriette.
