Baby Cards

My local bargain store, Walls, got a shipment of papercrafting items in a few months ago and I have posted about some of the great bargains I found when they first got the items in, but I still stop by there from time to time to browse and one time I found some really nice TPC baby stamps. I don't have a lot of baby stamps and I think it is because at my age my friends aren't having babies anymore and most of us are hoping that we will be able to put grandmahood off a few more years. Although my friend Lisa is a proud grandma and quite the sexy one too boot! The stamps are ones that can be found at Joann's and I believe the regular price is $9.99, I paid a whopping $2.40!

As you can see there are some duplicates in the set. I solved that problem very simply by giving the duplicates to Linda. She doesn't do a lot of baby cards either but she figured she could use some of the stamps for the cards she makes, and at her age she knows a lot of grandma's! *okie falls out her chair laughing*. I am going to stamp some of the onesies and scan those for Linda to use as well *okie figures she better put that on her to do list before she forgets*.



Supplies Used:
TPC Baby Boy stamp set
TPC Baby Girl stamp set
Little Yellow Bicycle Paper
Bo Bunny Paper
Stampin Up Cardstock
Stampin Up Markers
ProMarkers
Memento Ink
Colorbox Chalk Ink
Circle Punches



I used the same layout for the cards so it made it easy to get 6 of each done quickly. I believe I got the layout idea off of Pinterest but since it's been a few weeks since I made these I am not really sure. I remember liking the layout because of the sentiment being stamped on a circle then tucked behind the layers of paper. I also used that same idea on a coffee card I did a few months back.

 

The coloring was easy and fast on both of the onesies since the image was simple and not too big. The colors for the onesies were chosen based on the colors of the papers I was using.

 

Today is laundry day at my house and I am hoping to get some more scrapbook kits made to take on the cruise for Karen and I to work on during the nightly crops so it will be a busy day. I hate doing laundry, or housework.....or cooking.... I think it is safe to say I would love a life of just going to work and then coming home to craft but I think that is something most crafters would dream of!
