Hi bloggers! How's this for a lovely new arrival card? I selected two shades of pink from my stash but it would work in any colours that you needed. I started by cutting the
Alphabet Grid in white and attaching just the grid part to a sticky adhesive sheet. Next I cut it again in both pale pink for the outlines and in a darker pink for the letters. There were several letters that I needed extra ones of so I just put a small piece of card over those letters. I spelled out "Baby Bundle of Joy" and filled in all the letters, then sprinkled
Diamond Snow on the remaining adhesive areas. I cut a thin frame using the
Stitched Pegboard Frames and attached it with foam over the background. Using the
Pinwheel Florals, I made three flowers and added a bit of
Spun Sugar to the centres of each of them. I accented the flowers with white leaves from the set too. White and dark and light pink mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue
This New Baby card is just so lovely.
I am finding the Alphabet grid die so useful.
Thanks Jan x
Morning Sue. I agree it's a beautiful way to welcome a new beautiful innocent life and could be used for that special baby boy or girl. I have the new alpha grid on my list as I go to your Art Deco alpha dies all the time but would love a simple font for those times a more CAS card is needed.
Looking forward to watching my skating buddies competing at the Winter games later her first big competition since major surgery on her knee - Team GB. Hope your day is a good one and look forward to watching you demo really soon xxx
Hello Sue and all
What a great card for those that aren't into the cute type of baby cards but it is still so pretty. I haven't used my alphabet grid set yet but am now well enthused to have a go.
Back from the week end away, still in the 30s deg C but have unpacked and caught up on your videos from the last few days, particularly love the sycamore leaves card, we are waiting for autumn as much as you in the northern hemisphere are waiting for spring!
Hugs

Morning Sue, sorry about yesterday, but I was having trouble sending my comment. It just wouldn't let me 'publish' my comment. However, it was a lovely card so, thankyou.
Today's is gorgeous. Just wish that I knew somebody who was having a baby, but the alphabet dies are so, so useful for all kinds of occasions. Hugs xx Pauline in S.A.
Gorgeous card Sue I have the alphabet grid and use it quite a bit I will enjoy making a card similar to this
Hi Sue,
You certainly know how to ring the changes to keep us on our toes - from yesterday's dark and artful IC sample to today's clean and simply stylish pink and white for a new arrival...the Alphabet Grid is still on the list but the Pinwheel Flowers should be arriving today so I can have a little play with them this afternoon hopefully...

Hello Sue
I have just received my alphabet grid so this card has definitely been pinned.
Yvonne lovely to have you back don't overdo it we don't want you ill.Congratulations craftysuetoo.
Good Morning Sue. Lovely card for those gorgeous little new arrivals. I have two to make....but not till later on in the year.... you can bet your life I will be referring back to your lovely sample. We have a very wet dark and miserable morning here... I don't know about anyone else but this winter seems to have lasted forever. Good job we have our favourite blogs to brighten up our mornings.
Sending everyone best wishes. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Morning Sue,
Lovely card, had the grid die for Christmas but must confess I have not used it yet.

A very pretty canard. This shows how useful these die sets are.

Canard!! Lord oh lummy. Again the iPad and its predictive text. I must really learn to check before I press the enter key. LOL

Now thats a new idea Sue, never would have thought of doing this but it works, Thanks for sharing,have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Sue this is a stunning card I love it. That is a great way to make a New Baby card without using specific baby dies. Thank you for the inspiration. I am looking forward to your shows at the end of the week. Have a great day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Good morning Sue,
A beautiful card today which would suit many occasions . I love your beautiful pinwheel flowers but I love all your flowers. Yvonne xx
Good morning Sue Lovely new baby card the flowers are so pretty
Yvonne lovely to have you back you certainly know how to spring a surprise on your family!
Sending good wishes to all
My favorite part of this card is the pink showing through the zazzle of the flower, and then a pink pearl on top. I can see how the alphabet grid could adapt to any occasion with different words, colors and embellishments. If you could only get one die set, that one’s probably the most versatile. I bet you could even make flowers and leaves with some of the letters, if you cut enough of them.
Best,
Donita
Morning Sue
Yes morning - its a shock to me as well!!
Love today's card x
The alphabet grid is such a brilliant addition to my stash. It is so versatile. The ability to use the grid itself is ingenious. I have used the letters to spell out personalised messages in 'scrabble style' formation. Incredibly simple but always a winner x
Thanks for your concern everyone - never my intention to overdo things. Plan of action today - card for Laine. This card is going to be all singing all dancing with whistles and bells. Hopefully it will be worth the wait x
Grey skies today but not to worry - we have Sue on our screens on Friday and Saturday so it can snow for all I care x
I am away to limber up before my date with several pots of glitter! Lol x
