Baby Shower Card

My daughter is going to a baby shower and asked me to make a card. This is what I came up with.

This is a 7" x 5" card. The striped cardstock mat on the front and inside is 6 3/4" x 4 3/4" and the white mat on the inside is 6 1/4" x 4 1/4". The striped cardstock is from the My Mind's Eye Party Time stack and all solid cardstock is Recollections.

The cut on the front is from the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge (page 63) cut at 3 1/2". The blocks on the inside are from the New Arrival Cricut cartridge (page 124) cut at 1 1/2". The sentiment is from the Close To My Heart New Arrival stamp set, and is stamped with Close To My Heart's Archival Blank ink pad.

Here are pictures of my Gypsy screens I used to make the cuts.

I used the hide and contour feature on my Gypsy for the Layer 2 cut because there were three colors needed for the different items on that layer.  I forgot to take a picture of all my papers on my mat.

I hope my daughter's friend likes the card.

1st Birthday Card

My youngest grandson's 1st birthday was yesterday, and here is the card I made for him.

This is an A2 size card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2"). The blue layer (for the front and inside) is 4" x 5 1/4", and the striped cardstock layer (for the front and inside) is 3 3/4" x 5". The teddy bear is from the Teddy Bear Parade cart and is cut at 3 1/2", as were all the layers. The shirt of the bear looked too plain and I was planning to add a cupcake sticker, but as soon as I saw the Ohio State sticker, I knew it would be perfect. Also, since this was for my grandson's first birthday, I thought the balloon was the perfect place to stamp a number 1. I used the Close To My Heart Trinity Alphabet stamp set to stamp the 1. I added a white layer, measuring 3 1/4" x 4 1/2", to the inside so I could stamp the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Close To My Heart Card Chatter - Birthday stamp set. I used Close To My Heart Archival Blank Ink pad to stamp the 1 and the sentiment. All solid cardstock is Recollections and the striped cardstock is from the My Mind's Eye Party Time stack.

I used my Gypsy to cut all the layers for the teddy bear, and here is a pic of my Gypsy screen as well as the cardstock on the mat.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card!
