Hello fellow bloggers! I have gone very clean and simple for this baby card today. I will admit to being quite smitten with it though, as sometimes, as they say, less is more! I started by cutting three small Hexagons from the
Double Stitched Hexagon Noble die set and adding mounting foam to the back of them. I attached them across a larger piece of
coconut white card with two up and one down in the middle. From the
Sweet Dreams Little One die set, I cut the turtle out of pale green card and inked him lightly with
Peeled Paint Distress Oxide ink and added him coming out and upwards from the left hexagon. For the centre, I cut the puppy out of taupe card and inked him lightly with
Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink. I added mounting foam and centred him in the middle hexagon. I cut the bunny out of pink card, adding a bit of Worn Lipstick oxide to the ears, tail and heart and added her to the remaining hexagon with foam. I cut the sweet dream sentiment die twice out of pale green card and stacked them, gluing it into the lower corner. White on white mats provided a lovely clean finish to the simple card. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Sue, so lovely. May be clean and simple but with a beauty all if it's own.
ReplyDeleteElaine I'm so sorry that Andrews results weren't good. Let's hope he gets on the treatment quickly and changes things around. He is in my prayers and maybe the power of prayer can help him like it did with Emily. Mary's results were good. It was sad about their friends passing, you are right life is very cruel at times. Andrew is a fighter and he has you all at his side.
Myra from Florida, good to hear about Emily, you all must have been so happy this Christmas.
Ann happy birthday to you son, get planning for next year for your other son.
My SIL and nephew are here till New Years Day so it will be a busy time till then. Dave was delightful all day, had my BP checked yesterday afternoon and it was normal so having a dig around must be calming. The meds however have caused very bad side effects so the have reduced the disease and added another on to try to keep it stable until the op is done. Hooe it's not too much longer.
June hapoy to hear you are on the mend but leave the craft room, you are not strong enough for that.
Sharon please take care, keep warm and cosy . It is so cold here, as Alimecca said we are forecast for heavy snow today.
Take care everyone, warming hugs on the way, thinking of all poorly and missing friends.
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a beautiful card so cute.
Take care and keep warm, Kitty.
Hello Sue and all
ReplyDeletethis must be the cutest card of the year - it is beautiful and has the hexagons calling again.

Morning Sue from a very cold white Lancashire ! But how heart warming and sweet is today's sample. I adore clean and fresh cards especially when it's for a new born it kind of depicts the innocence of a beautiful new life. I have these cute darlings I treated myself a few months ago and sent a card to a customer only yesterday with these sweet dies as the stars of the card to welcome a new baby in to the family thats just had so much heartbreak to deal with so thank you for giving me the tools to bring a smile to a broken family. Im hoping to be able to pop in over the next few days as we are escaping the NY celebrations again and taking a very frightened anxious little dog away from the terrifying fireworks and packing up to return to the cottage in the middle of nowhere, on a farm with peice and quiet - saying that, being there this time last year its hunting season !! Something we have our own strong views on but its the countryside and we can't share out views obviously just try to block it out, rather hard with horses trotting down the lane and men with cocked guns over their arm and hunting dogs searching for grouse to take off for their owners 'pleasure' it's a case of head down, craft out and radio up higher than normal, it's the price my keeper and I pay to keep our nervous little friend happy during the NY fireworks that last into the early hours !!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm really hoping I can join in over the next few days (where there's a will there's a way) so love and hugs are on their way. Stay warm and happy xxx
Awww that is so cute. Love it

Good morning Sue. A very cute card, the animals peeking out from the hexagons are lovely. I'm looking forward to Julia's shows tomorrow, as now I know what Santa brought I can add some more of your latest dies to my collection.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA beautiful clean and simple card.
We returned home yesterday from Christmas at our daughter's. Matilda is such a happy baby with a smile for everyone. My mother (89) was so delighted to cuddle her. I must make a start on the pile of dirty washing, but hopefully will find time to play with my new dies.

ReplyDeleteHello Sue, what a pretty and super Baby card, sometimes you just don't want fussy and this ticks all the boxes. Love it. Have a great day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteA really cute card.x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a gorgeous baby card. So cute the little dog, bunny and tortoise. I love it.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, well this is absolute PERFECTION, I love it, simple but so cute and sweet, this is one of the dies I do not have, so must rectify this as soon as I can.
ReplyDeletePam I reiterate all you have said, I did do a little bit of cutting out yesterday but only for about an hour or so, then left it for another day. I am feeling better, not quite 100% yet but getting there, Colin really has been so good to me, there is a wonderful smell of a beef casserole cooking in the oven, yummy, I might try some of that later, just had porridge and feel OK. - Elaine I am sorry to hear that Andrew's illness is back, as you say why did they stop the treatment when it was doing some good, I hope and pray that it get's back on track and he begins to feel much better.
It is raining extremely hard here in Kent but I know that the North of England, Scotland and parts of Ireland are having a bad time, so please everyone be extra careful and only go out if you really have too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
I love this v effective

Stay safe and warm everyone. Hugs Pauline xx
Morning Sue, gorgeous card, just right for a new baby. I don’t have these animal dies but I have the other set of your, so I think I just might do something similar.
ReplyDeleteIt is snowing here in Central Scotland at the moment and the flakes are getting bigger by the minute, please take care is you are out and about.

Dear Sue
ReplyDeleteI adore this card its so very sweet. The little turtle, dog and rabbit are really cute. To be honest I'd be very happy to recieve this card myself. I really do love it. I definitely will be adding this die set to my growing and expanding 'need it' list of your die sets. I know some young children so i can pretend its to just make cards for them. Which i will but the characters are so adorable I just have to get this die set if i can.
Thank you for your everlasting creativity and inspiration.
Best wishes from Katielou Sweetlove x x x
Hi Sue, I love this card! I adore all of the stitched and stuffed animals and now I have the hexagons I can pinch this idea. I recently had to make a keepsake card with pockets for a lady that had a stillborn baby and your animals, hills, clouds & the rainbow all helped to make a card that I was proud of and she was thrilled with so I thank you very much as without your brilliant designs I would have struggled.
ReplyDeleteI was supposed to be visiting a friend who is recouperating at home after an operation but I am going nowhere today. The snow is already quite deep and is still coming down. My neighbour has very kindly (and unexpectedly) cleared the front path and put some salt down which was very nice of her.
Elaine - so sorry for Andrew, thoughts and prayers winging their way to you all.
CraftySuetoo - hope the meeting was ok and you can work your notice agreeably.
Frances
Aaaw that is so sweet. I do love your "clean" cards which aren't to fussy as not all recipients like very busy cards. I love this one to bits! xxx

Hi Sue such a lovely cute card today & yesterday's hexagonal card was amazing I didn't comment yesterday as we were travelling to my daughters in Leeds had awful journey the car broke down twice we ended up with a courtesy card from RAC & finally arrived at my daughters at 10 pm such a long day!
ReplyDeleteElaine I'm so sorry Andrews results were not what we all wished for let's hope & pray that getting back on the treatment will help sending him you & your family big caring hugs
Crafty Sue too hope you get on alright in your meeting
Park
June glad you are beginning to feel better
Pam hope you are having a lovely time with your family
Take care all in this cold weather
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteGorgeous beautiful baby card ,i love it !.
Well i did not go to the Funeral it was so slippy with black ice here this morning , John has gone but with me having a cough and not wanting to pass it on especially to Andrew thought it best not to go.
Thank you for your wishes , Andrew could not grasp all that was told to him so i spoke to Helen last night , it appears the kidneys and bladder have active cells in them and the cells are heading for the liver ,as yet the liver is healthy so they are going to put in a sten , when these active cells have shrunk and hopefully died , if it is they get active again the sten will protect the liver . So thats the plan as far as i can tell .
If you have to go out please take care
hugs to all
Elaine H X
Dear Sue and Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteTotally charmed by this card. I swear you can see that puppy's tail wag. And the heart on the bunny goes straight into mine! Many thanks for creating this sweetness for us to share.
Also grateful to the Southern Hemisphere folks for not mentioning how hot you are.
How can we harness this deep freeze to help Andrew? Wrapping your family in warmth and love and may the healthy cells win his long-fought war.
Stephanie Cotterill, I hope it's too cold for hunters while you're escaping the fireworks.
Izzy, your new Platinum will perform like a champ and restore your faith in Spellbinders.
Breakfast today is going to be pound cake, coffee, eggnog and not-from-concentrate pineapple-grapefruit juice. It's cold enough to put on the full-body fleece union suit, but not after all those liquids.
Crewe Trish, your heart shines.
Carmen, you might want to change those high red heels for some big brown boots and heavy socks.
Love,
Donita

Hi Sue and everyone from a very cold and snowy Yorkshire
ReplyDeleteGood news is I haven’t been out, bad news is because I still have chest infection and feel poorly. Hubby is the same, it’s gone on ages now so hopefully we’ll be ok for new year.
Gorgeous card, clean and simple but oh so cute. Love the hexagons and the adorable animals. I think most people would love to receive this card, not just children.
Sorry to hear Andrews results, but hopefully the new treatment plan will be effective. X

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLove this adorable, clean and simple baby card. You couldn’t choose a better color pallet than these soft ones that make this card so delicate and fresh. Like Stephanie C. said so well, it kind of depicts the innocence of the beautiful new life a newborn brings. Love it.
Pam – Hope you’re enjoy your time with your family.
Myra – Minus 15 during of day with wind feels like -22, but it can be worse so no complain from Toronto.
Barbara Macaskill – I agree, it is very cold there, 30 below zero ... we might get there too, hopefully not too soon.
Hellen Bell- Love your sense of humor. Get well soon.
Donita – Those shoes give me hopes that sunny days will come eventually.
Elaine - So sad to read about Andrew’s scan results. Let's hope that the stent and the treatment will do the job together with our love,prayers and warm, big and gentle hugs for him and you and all of you. We are here for you and your family.
Warm hugs from cold Toronto to you all,
Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only across the pond Wilsonette

Hi Sue , I love this adorable and simple baby card. It's just so perfect for a lovely sweet baby.x
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sue, fab colours.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. Made a similar Christmas one with gingerbread men. Love the Hexagons. Xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes.
ReplyDeleteHow ironic that today's card is a gorgeous baby one when I spent hours yesterday making a baby card for the little one that should have arrived by now. I may buy those dies when I go on my craft-store jaunt as I could use the dies for next year's birthday. Having said that, I have a list a mile long and I will have to prioritise (Or take out a loan)
Today I am planning to do a bit of a tidy-up in my craft room and put away some of my Christmas stuff until July.
Andrew is in my prayers too, along with his family who also need prayers.
Bye for now.
