1st Birthday Invitations

Friends asked me to make invitations for their son's 1st birthday next month.  There will be a 'car' theme so I used a retired set from Stampin' Up! which I borrowed from my friend Nicky {thanks Nicky!}.

I'm please with how they turned out.

I typed the wording out on the computer as it was easier doing it 26 invitations that way.  I just made sure that I left enough space at the bottom of the invite for the car.

Here is the cute little car!

Happy Stamping,

Nursery Necessities

Our friends in the UK had a baby girl a few weeks ago so I needed to make a card for them.

I really like how this turned out.  Thank goodness for the Idea Book & Catalogue because this is where this card came from!  If you are ever stuck and don't know what kind of card you want to make, just take a look in the catalogue current or past ones and the inspiration will come.

Another quick and easy card to make - great for mass production as a baby announcement (will have to keep this is in mind come September!).

I used my white craft ink for the big star with clear embossing powder but I should have used white powder to make it stand out a bit more.  I still like it though but must remember for next time.  My bow turned out pretty good too (if it do say so myself!).  I can't always get a good bow when using the wider ribbon.

Happy Stamping,
