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!

Thanks for visiting my blog.  Merci de votre visite.

Bonne Fête Catherine!

Mon fils Bobbie célèbre son 30ème anniversaire de naissance cette semaine.

A la fête surprise qu'on a fait pour lui la semaine dernière, son amie Catherine qui elle célébrait son anniversaire cette journée là, l'a invité pour venir célébrer avec elle.  Mais la surprise était qu'on était tous là pour lui !  Quelle belle surprise!

Voici la carte de fête que j'ai faite pour Catherine (on pouvait quand même pas ignorer sa fête complètement!) :

Détails:

La base de la carte (environ 7 1/2 x 10") est du carton aquarelle épais (Carson).

Le papier à motif de roses est de K & Co. (St-Valentin).

Le petit gâteau a été coupé avec la matrice Sizzix pro Cupcake.

Le glaçage (brillant) est du papier Glitter de Best Creations (GCS064 Diamond)

La base du gâteau est SU Pink Pirouette et le carton rose-rouge (Bazzill) pour l'enveloppe du gâteau a été ondulé avec un outil "crimper" de Fiskars.

Le "Happy Birthday Catherine" a été imprimé à l'ordi et coupé avec le gros punch Oval de Stampin'Up.

Les crystaux sont de Stampin'Up aussi.

Le ruban rose vient de ma collection (Paper Source - acheté à Washington, DC).

Les chandelles ont été découpées avec la même matrice que le petit gâteau.  Les flammes ont été couvertes de Stickles Christmas Red et Star dust (sur le côté de la chandelle).

Le glitter sur les roses est à même le papier.

Thanks for your visit.  Let me know if you need a translation from French to English.

Merci de votre visite.  Bonne journée!

Holiday Die Cuts Challenge

While I was in Europe, I found a little craft store named Crea?? (Ok I forgot, but I have the name written down somewhere...)

I found 2 cute "Marianne" stamps.  Here is one of them.  I colored it with Copic markers.

I made the card for a challenge at Caardvarks.  You can see the details by clicking here:  Caardvarks Holiday Die Cuts challenge.

I have a few diecuts on the card:  The Poinsettias (can't remember the name of the company and it's not written on the die...) and the Sizzix swirls that I covered with Dazzling Diamonds. And I used Nestabilities to cut the image and mat.
Edit: the poinsettias die is made by Boss Kuts.

The greeting on the card is from a clear stamp set by Penny Black.

Thanks for looking!  Merci de votre visite.
