More baby shower cards

I was looking over my cards folder on my computer, and found some cards that I forgot to share before Christmas.  A few cards that I made for a Baby shower.  One for me and one for Julie.


Here is one:

The front of the card:


The image is the same as the previous card I made for another shower here.  The image is from Taylored Expressions.  The papers are from a Baby Paper stack - sorry can't remember the name.
Stamp:  Jenn from the Moka Collection, Taylored Expressions
Inked with Memento Tuxedo Black in and colored with Copic Markers.

The dark blue cardbase is Blue Stardream.

The greeting "It's a shower" was computer generated.

The ribbon is white satin from Stampin'Up.

The image and the greeting were outlined with a glue pen and Stampin'Up Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.
The 4 pearls in the corners and the 3 little ones on the greeting are also by Stampin'Up.

Now for the inside of the card:

I love this gift card holder.  I made it with a Sizzix die (created by Karen Burniston - she is a real whiz with Pop-ups and mechanics cards).

The front of the die says "for you", but Karen has instructions on her video here showing how to hide the words. 

The cardstock I used is also Blue stardream and the Patterned paper is from a Baby stack and I forgot the name.

That's it for this card!

Baby Shower Card

Here I am with my Sunday night post.... I have trying to post a little more often this year...

OK for today's card....  I made this card for Julie's friend Stephanie who is expecting her first baby girl!!!

I bought this stamp set last year at the Consumer show after CHA from Taylored Expressions.
It is fun to color, especially with my Copics markers.

Here is the card:

The details:

Stamp:  Jenn from the Moka Collection, Taylored Expressions
Inked with Memento Tuxedo Black in and colored with Copic Markers.
The image was cut was Nestabilities Ovals.

The patterned papers are from a new 8 x8 paper pad I just bought:  First Edition Paper, Spring Drop 
I used the flowered background and 3 other prints (some are back to back) for the scallops on the side.  The scallops were cut with a Stampin'Up scallop border punch.  I also "paper-pieced" her top, then shaded it with Copic Markers.

The card base is Stampin'Up cardstock in Tango Tangerine.

The greeting:  (It's a baby shower) was computer generated and printed on the back of the flowered background.  I cut the end in points as a flag.

The buttons were threaded with Stampin'Up butcher cord and they are old from my supplies (they are Making Memories).

The cream silk ribbon is by Stampin'Up.

When I was all done, I used my glue pen and added glitter all around the white oval and the greeting.

That's it!!!
