Are you finished your Christmas cards yet? If not here are some more for inspiration..

Only "2" more days till Christmas!!  Are you finished making all your Christmas cards yet??

This one is made using a Magnolia Edwin Stamp.  I really like working with Magnolia stamps, they are so fun to colour!....

Baby Card For Lucas & Chase

Hello there, it's Friday!! Whoo hoo! Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all the Canadians!  The Weather this weekend should be summer-like, so get outside and enjoy before the snow falls!

Today I am going to post a Baby Card that I made for my cousin Richard when he had his baby boy Lucas and also a card I made for my friend Matt when he had his son Chase.  Both images are a Stampavie Baby stamp.

First is Lucas'

Skin: E01, E00 & E000

Pants: BG78, BG75 & BG72

Shirt: Y17, Y15, Y13 & Y11

Diaper: C01 & C0

Eyes and fingernails: used glaze pen to make them shiny

I drew a Onesie on a folded piece of white cardstock putting the seam at the top of the card.  I then traced the pattern on to the printed paper and cut it out with scissors (sorry I do not remember the name of the company for the pattern paper but I purchased it at "Scrapbook Queens" in Mississauga, ON.) 
Using the Square Nestabilities I trimmed the picture in teal and tan Bazzill cardstock and pop-dotted it on top of a strip of brown ribbon, then tied a bow in brown ribbon and glue dotted it on the corner of the baby photo.
I then added 3 brass brads to the bottom of the card to look like the snaps on the Onesie.

Now Chase's card:

Skin: E01, E00 & E000

Pants: E47, E44, E43 & E42

Shirt: B97, B95, B93 & B91

Diaper: C01 & C0

Eyes and fingernails: used glaze pen to make them shiny

I used an A2 card and backed it with a pattern paper from Creative Memories Baby Boy photo mats, used Creative Memories paper ribbon in brown and secured it with two blue safety pins on each end.  I added 3 buttons under the sentiment witch is an old stamp I have had for years. 
To make the baby pop I cut him out of Spellbinders Nestabilities Label 11 then framed him with Creative Memories paper from the same photo mat pack.

Here is a view of the inside of Chase's card and the envelope;

The sentiment inside the card is from Creative Memories velum Baby Boy pack, and the crib stamp on the envelope is from the $1.50 bin at Michaels.
Hope you enjoyed today's post (and I hope I covered everything). Enjoy your weekend and I will see you soon:)
