Baby Girl Card

For my Sentimental Saturday post over at CricutDIVA Design Team Blog, I made this baby girl card in anticipation of the birth of my granddaughter.

This is an A2 size card and measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". The base was cut from an 8 1/2" x 11" ivory cardstock. I cut the cardstock in half, which gives me two bases. The pink layer is cut at 4" x 5 1/4". The background behind the stork was cut at 4" using the oblong and shadow cuts on the Elegant Edges cartridge (page 33). The patterned paper was something I had in my stash. Baby Girl phrase and shadow were cut using the Tiny Treasurers cartridge (page 68). I then used pink glitter on the baby girl phrase to help it pop more. The stork and baby were cut at 3 1/2" using the Tiny Treasures cartridge (pages 54 and 55).

Here is a screenshot of my Gypsy showing the stork and baby cuts, as well as a picture of my papers on my Cricut mat.

I completed the front of the card with four pink buttons from a Cute As A Button kit I bought from HSN. I also added Queen and Co. twine to the top of the blanket.

For the inside of the card, I cut the pink cardstock at 3 1/4" x 4 1/2", the patterned paper cut at 2 3/4" x 4" and the white cardstock at 2 1/4" x 3 1/2". I added a Queen and Co. heart gem. The sentiment is from the Close To My Heart New Arrival stamp set.

All solid cardstock is Recollections cardstock.

I hope you like my baby girl card.

Birthday Card

My future daughter-in-law's birthday is December 13th, so I made this card for her.

The card base is an A2 size (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) card made from Bazzill cardstock.  On the card front, the first layer is 4 x 5 1/4, the second layer is 3 1/2 x 4 3/4. I used the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge for the mat that Hello Kitty is on.  The mat and shadow were cut using the oblong feature at 3 1/2 inches.  I used the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut cartridge to cut Hello Kitty at 3 1/4 inches.  All the patterned paper is from The Paper Studio Birthday Extravaganza paper pack. The rest of the solid cardstock is Recollections. Since the "balloon strings" on the cut were so thin and broke, I used Queen & Co. twine for the balloon strings and then added a bow made from the twine to cover up the ends.  For the inside of the card, the layer is 3 3/4 x 5.  The sentiment is from the CTMH Card Chatter - Birthday stamp set, and was stamped using the CTMH Archival Black Exclusive Ink Pad.
