Welcome Little One

Hi everyone! I don't submit my work to magazines that often, but when I saw a recent publication call for baby cards in non-traditional colors, I knew I wanted to design a card. I love the use of non-traditional colors. The card wasn't accepted for publication, so I get to show it here. I like the look of white ink stamped on black cardstock. It looks like a vintage chalkboard.

All the stamps for this card come from the very talented Paloma Gomez and Dulces Ideas Clear Stamps. I randomly placed all sorts of sentiments on my acrylic block to create a background stamp. I love this look. I created a similar card here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Decoracion - Gracias Por Venir a Conocerme

Hola! We're getting closer to the release date of the July collection of stamps from Dulces Ideas Clear Stamps. Tomorrow (July 1st) all 5 sets will go on sale!

Today, I'd like to show you a card made with the set called Decoracion. This 4x6 inch set add all the finishing touches for creating a perfect nursery. Paloma designed stamps for windows and curtains and masculine and feminine items you would find in any baby's room. Decoracion will sell for $10.99 plus shipping.

Using the window stamp, I added an actual window on my card. I added a square of acetate as the "glass". You can get a tiny glimpse inside this feminine nursery. You can't really see in the photo, but I used the flower stems to stamp grass on the green paper. The sentiments are from the Ya Nacio' stamp set.

When you look inside, I used stamps from Cuarto del Bebe and stamps from Decoracion to complete the nursery.

Check out what Paloma and the rest of the design team have created:

Cuarto del Bebe

Today I'm showing you the second set of baby-related stamps from Dulces Ideas Clear Stamps. This new set is called Cuarto del Bebe. This 4x6 inch set of stamps has all the furniture you would need for a nursery. Starting on July 1st, it will sell for $10.99, plus shipping. Paloma has outdone herself this month with this release!

My card uses the chair stamp from the set to create a feminine card for a baby girl. I used the tiny stamps from Decoracion (a set we will reveal tomorrow) to create the background. The sentiment comes from the Welcome set. Welcome is a 4x3 inch stamp set that will sell for $5.99 (shipping will be free if you also buy a 4x6 inch set).

I was drawn to the chair stamp because my father-in-law made a chair with this exact design for the nursery before Kalino was born. The only difference is our chair is a rocking chair in masculine colors. We read with Kalino every night while sitting in the chair. He treasures this time with each of us and gets very upset if we try to skip reading (even for one night). The kid loves his storytime!

The crib in this stamp set is how I first noticed Paloma last November. She created the most amazing card for Dawn McVey's color challenge. Check it out here! Paloma also sells an SVG version of this crib here so you can cut it with your Cricut digital cutter. Sweet, right?

Felicidades En Tu Baby Shower

This is my second card today showing the new Baby Shower set from Dulces Ideas Clear Stamps and a preview of other sets releasing this week (Ya Nacio' and Decoracion). See the details on my previous blog entry.

This card is clean and simple; my favorite style. I used the small images to create a masculine background with VersaMark ink. The baby bottle has a tiny bit of paper piecing. I actually sewed the buttons onto the felt and then wrapped the linen thead around each button.

Thanks for stopping by!
