Welcome Little One -Tiddly Inks Baby Girl

Hello friends,

I have discovered another wonderful digital stamp company and wanted to share... Tiddly Inks!  Ok, maybe I'm a bit late discovering them, but I'm so glad I did. The designer, Christy, has the cutest images and I'm sharing this adorable "Baby Girl" digital image with you today. I love how she is grabbing her little toes... I used to be able to do that... LOL. This little baby is wearing a "designer diaper".... oh she's so cute!

I have a friend that gave birth to a baby girl just a few days ago so I really enjoyed making this card for her, she has three boys and now she has her girl.  That's the same as in my family I'm the youngest and only girl with three older brothers, such a lucky baby girl.

I used a scalloped spellbinder die for the baby image.

 Inside of card

The sweet stamped word images on the outside and the inside of the card are from My Craft Spot one of Kimberly's brand new stamp sets -Bundle of Joy

 

 Love these Wild Orchid Craft flowers:

5/8" pink tone roses (EX-00008)

Brown/Yellow tone cherry blossoms (EX-00044)

1 1/4" two tone leaves (LL-00030)

Ribbon is from Prairie Bird Boutique and I added a bit of zigzag stitching on the ribbon and the banners.

 here are the copic marker details:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Leaves: G21, G28

This cute baby has a designer diaper which I paper pieced with a matching headband, the shirt is also paper pieced along with the flower.

Diaper and headband shadow: R20

Shirt and flower shadow: R00

Center of flower: Y18, Y23 

Go check out Tiddly Inks digital images, and they now have some clear stamp images.... and I did order a few and can't wait to play with them!

FCCB DT handmade gift swap Banner

I have to tell you that I'm on a few fantastic design teams and Fantabulous Cricut is no exception.  

As creator and design team member of Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog we have occasional card swaps amongst each other and this time around we also had a handmade gift swap, I got to make a gift for design team member Holly -Ribbons and Glue.  

Below is my project that I made for her, I was inspired by a video that I saw on You Tube -HERE. 

The banner was cut using the Country Life cricut cartridge, scalloped circles from Mini Monograms, and the letters cut from Winter Woodland cartridge.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I am Roses, the pearl embellishments are from Recollections.

Wrinkle ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique. I hope Holly likes her gift.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Happy Birthday -Teapot Cards

When I made my teapot card last week I had cut several of the teapot images so I could make more cards. It's great to have birthday cards on hand.

 

Thanks for visiting today :)

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge & EAD Designs Stickers

Hello, it's another Fantabulous Monday... with a Fantabulous Cricut challenge

Challenge theme- Snow Fun

Use a snowflake or snowman on you project

I really wish we had some beautiful snow here, because I love snow so I will just have to resort to adding snowflakes on my projects, that will b fun :)

This weeks sponsor at FCCB is E.A.D. Designs
Vinyl Lettering and Wall Art is one of the Hottest Trends.
E.A.D DESIGNS allows you to change the look of any room in just a few minutes. Their Products can be used on more than just walls and on many surfaces.

I got to play with EAD Ice Skating Fun Stickerz they can be found -HERE this is a super cute sheet of stickers with 4 ice skating kids, 2 cups of cocoa, a tree, 3 phrases and several snowflakes.
My box is made using the Tags Bags Boxes and More cricut cartridge with the window. In place of the window I added an thin piece of acetate (plastic) and added three ice skating kids with snowflakes all around. Then added the sticker phrase "Winter Wonderland" on the box lid.

For my bow collage I used Prairie Bird Boutique wrinkled ribbon, the snowflake was cut out using the Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge in white cardstock the I added pearl embossing powder to give it a beautiful pearly shine. The blue snowflake was an old punch I had, I also embossed with the pearl powder. I added a half pearl purchased from SACrafters.

Remember to check out more projects made by the Fantabulous design team -HERE

Feel free to join the "Snow Fun" challenge too!

Gift Tag -Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

Hello, It's Monday and time for another Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog challenge, this weeks theme is...
Trimming With a Tag
Use a tag somewhere on your project

I made a cute box using the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge the largest I could make it on my 12"x 12" mat, I love these little boxes, after folding the box I inked all over the edges. To go along with the challenge theme I made a tree gift tag, It can also be used as a Christmas tree ornament, fun idea huh? The beautiful crinkle ribbon is from Prairie Bird Boutique.
So what's in the box? Divinity, light and fluffy very sweet treat, this recipe has been passed down for a few generations, my husband is our holiday baker and makes many of our Christmas goodies.

Our Fantabulous Cricut sponsor this week is Core'dinations. If you haven't heard of them, they have the most amazing color core cardstock, which is great for sanding, to bring out a second or rather the core color that is beneath the first layer. Core'dinations have been so generous to let a few of the Fantabulous Cricut design team members create using this wonderful cardstock.
To learn more creative ideas using the Core'dinations cardstock click -HERE.

More details:

The trees were cut out using the Christmas Cheer cricut cartridge, I used two different trees in various sizes.
I love using my cuttlebug machine and my embossing folders with the Core'dinations cardstock, because then I can sand the embossed image to show that second color (core color).

The embossing folders that I used are (showing in the photo below from left to right) D'vine Swirl, Swiss Dots (for the star and second tree) Holly Ribbons, and Cindy Loo, there was a small square in one of the large cuttlebug folders that I placed the tree in to emboss it. After sanding I inked all the edges of the trees and star.

Thank you Cor'dinations for donating your lovely cardstock to Fantabulous Cricut design team members!

Remember to head over to Fantabulous Cricut to see what the talented design team members have created, view them -HERE ...and then feel free to join us for this weeks challenge "Trimming with a Tag"
