Baby Shower

Hi everyone! Today we are starting to show you the July Collection from Dulces Ideas Clear Stamps. Paloma's new designs are all about babies! There will be 5 stamp sets this month (3 are 4x6 inches and 2 are 4x3 inches).

Too bad I don't know personally know anyone expecting a little one, because her new designs are awesome! I had trouble figuring out what image to use first. This first card uses the baby carriage (or pram) stamp from the new set call Baby Shower. This stamp set is 4x6 inches and will sell for $10.99, plus shipping. The small stamp sets will sell for $5.99.

See the rest of the design team and what they have created:

I used the colors from the latest Embellish Magazine challenge (which is a about babies too) as my guide for creating this card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Phoebe's 80th Birthday Party - Tags for Favor Bags

Hi everyone! Here are some tags I designed last month for Angie (one of my favorite front-office people at school). She organized the 80th birthday party for her mom, Phoebe, this past weekend, and needed help with the favor bags. When I found out that Phoebe's birthday was June 12th, I was even more excited about the project. My husband and myself share the same date with Phoebe.

I originally designed about 7 or 8 different tags. Phoebe loves purple, so I made sure each tag had some purple. Angie couldn't choose just one design, so she narrowed it down to 3 designs. I'm showing 4 here, because I accidently created a 4th design when I glued the wrong side of the Stampin' Up paper. Duh!

The tags are 2 inches in diameter. I created the text in Microsoft Word. After I printed out the text, I used my 2" circle punch to cut out the tags. I layered on the Stampin' Up designer series paper and strips of Crushed Curry (or Basic Black) paper. The butterflies and hearts are mounted on the tags with foam tape. I finished off the tags by punching holes with my Crop-a-Dile. Angie didn't need ribbon from me since she bought her own.

Tip: If you have this 3 In 1 Classic Butterfly punch, it works well for cutting the small butterfly from Papertrey Ink.

This project was fun. Angie gave me a birthday gift before school ended. I got pretty silk flowers and a gift card to Michael's. So sweet!

Have a good one!
