Good morning cyber friends! Have you noticed that your friend's adult children are now having babies? How old does that make us??? We have just heard of 3 sweet bundles of joy arriving this past week. I did find a baby boy card in my stash. Yippee! Looks like I will be doing a CAS card for the remaining 2 baby girls cards. Here is what I came up with:
I started out by using two coordinating double sided designer papers, one with polka dots and one with wavy lines. The wavy paper is 4-1/4 X 5-1/2. Dotted
paper was cut 4-1/4 X 7, then scored at 5-1/2, folded over and taped
onto the dotted one. Both paper edges were inked with coordinating
ink color. I found this adorable ribbon in my stash and added it to the
top using glue dots. Perfect little girl vibe going on so far. Side note: the card was supposed to be PINK, but the paper is really more peachy in color. I guess that works for little girls, too?
Next, die cut a scallop circle from the DP and ink the edges. This sweet little bird delivering the sparkly bundle is from a Unity mini set called "Birdie Told Me". She was stamped on white paper, die cut, colored and glittered with stickles. I also added stickles to the outside edge of the circle. The sentiment on the front is from an older Stampin Up set.
The sentiment on the
inside is a from a clear stamp set by Cloud 9 Design called Simple
Thoughts-Baby. I just added the little silver charm using a brad before
adhering the layer to the card base.
This card only took about 30 minutes to make and the hardest part was waiting for the stickles to dry!
I am happy that I was able to get all three cards out in the mail today. Feels good to get something accomplished.
Well, I had intentions of submitting this card to some challenges, but alas there just wasn't enough time. Maybe the next one.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for taking the time to stop by!

My grandson has loved cars since ....forever! Well he just turned 5, but he has played with hot wheels since he could pick one up. And Disney's "Cars"!!!! Well, he LOVES it. I have done the Disney thing, so this year it had to have a little 'different' take on the same old theme. LOL And since he now lives in Canada it takes forever for mail to get there, so I also am going 'different' for me with more of a CAS card. Oh boy!
So what to do with a car? I had heard about a "wobbly" thing that makes an item jiggle around. And I have a friend who tried making one (and she said it took way to long to get it right). Well I found the thing at a chain store here in Illinois called Archivers.
They come in a pack of 6 and it has a plastic concentric circle that has sticker paper attached on both sides. Very easy to use. For my purposes, I has to cut down the stickers because my image was small.
I had purchased a clear stamp set at Michael's just for this occasion (sorry I do not remember who the set is by, but when I get back to Florida I can let you know if you would like to email me). The set comes with the checkerboard and all that you see here. I stamped the car two times and fussy cut one of the images to pop up and wobble. For the fire, I used a marker to ink that part of the image. And that's it! Clean and simple, right? Oh yeah, the wobble. All I had to do was cut the adhesive area smaller to fit the car and there you have it.
Above is a close-up of the car. I hope my sweetie-pie grandson likes it as much as I do.
Happy Birthday!
