Welcome Baby Girl

Once again I bought a new die set and HAD to try it out!

This set makes a "spinner" card, i.e. a card with a small element that spins around as the card is tipped different directions. I thought that would be so adorable for kids' cards...something I always need with 13 grandkids!

For my first experiment with making a "spinner" card I decided on a baby girl card. The little teddy bear at the bottom has a penny attached behind it so it tumbles/rolls along the slot easily...and looks quite cute!

Ingredients:

Stamps- Milton & Co "Milton with Teddy", Stampin Up "Tiny Teddy" & "Welcome, baby"

Markers- Memento "Lilac Posies", Mepxy "C01"

Ink- FSJ "Coffee Bean"

Glitter- Stickles "Icicle"

Bow- Craft-dee Bows bow-maker with satin ribbon & twine

Die- Die-namics (MFT) "Straight & Circle Spinners"

Punch- EK Success "1 inch"

"Mom" Greetings

After just returning from a trip to Arizona where we visited my mom and brothers I wanted to send a quick "Hello, Mom" note. My mom has Alzheimer's and doesn't remember much of daily life, just details of her growing-up years. But she does like cards and pictures, which she sets out on display and is reminded of people and events...sometimes. Even  if she can't remember who sent her a card, I want her to remember she is loved.

Ingredients used:

Card stock- solids from my stash & patterned are Authentique "Winter"

Stamps- Stampin Up "Mom" & "Hello", Sweet Stamps "Riches in Glory", Simon Says Stamp! "Miracles"

Dies- Spellbinders "Labels15", "Pendants Fleur de Lis", & "Tudor Rose Card Front"; TH/Sizzix "Tattered Flower Garland"

Embellisments- Ranger Liquid Pearls "Platinum", Karen Foster "Charcoal" twine
