Good Sunday morning all! It's a double day of baby shadow box cards, one for the girls and one for the boys! Both cards today have been made with the
New Arrival Shadow box die set. For the girl card, I used two shades of pink and coconut white card. I embossed a piece of pale pink card with the
Twinkle Twinkle embossing folder for texture to the background. I cut the shadow box in white and added mounting foam to the back to raise it and create the boxes. I attached it the the embossed background. Using the
Scalloped Lattice Frames set B, I cut a multilayered frame using both light and darker pink card and glued them on top of the shadow box. I used the rattle and little footprints from the
Little Treasures set to fill in some of the cubbies and the bottle and baby blocks from the shadow box set for a couple more boxes. The
It's a girl set for the largest opening. I added a small flower from the
Exquisite Poppy set which I sugared it
Iced Snow and seated it on a
satin ribbon bow. White mats and layers were added to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. Scroll down for card number two.
Card number two is all blue for the boys. It has the same sort of format, but I used the
Dot Matrix embossing folder for texture on this one in the background. I added the baby blocks in blue in the smallest openings. The rattle and bottle were used again with white accents added. For the largest opening, I used the word "Baby" from the shadow box but added the word Boy which I cut from the
It's A Boy sentiment die. I used a dark blue to shadow both words and used the same dark blue as a frame around the shadow box. The buttons were added to the bottom corner as an accent. White, sky blue and dark blue mats and layers were added to complete this card. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. I hope you have enjoyed both cards today!
The winner of this week's Comment Game are:
Diane Green!!
Sue Kinson!!!

They're both very cute. I'm sure any new parents would love to receive them. x
Beautiful cards Sue I always look your baby cards.Hope you are having a lovely weekrnd.
Congratulations to all comment game winners.
Rosemary, it's shocking that you have to wait that long for an appointment especially when you don't have a date just sometime in August.
Try not to worry, I know it's easier said than done. Speak to your GP, maybe they can hurry it along.
Elaine, it was lovely to hear Andrew and Helen had a lovely Annuversary and are at their caravan, always seems to do them both good. Hope things are going well for Mary and you and John too.
Karen, hope hubbys visit to Consultant next week goes well. As long as he is recovering little by little that is good news.
Thank you ladies for all of your encouragement re work, if I didn't laugh about it I would either cry or leave but they won't get rid of me that easily. Love the ideas of a luxury cameo ran, a yurt, fabulous, working from home, oops better duck, a herd of flying pink pigs just went overhead..
Hope our Gang of Nine are all okay, pretty quiet lately. Hugs to all our missing and poorly friends. Laine and Yvonne, special wishes that your eyes are improving, sight is so precious.
Happy Sunday to all.
Good Morning Sue
Two sweet baby cards today.Love them.
Jan x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, 2 beautiful creations today, although I don't have any babies arriving in the family I might have a go at these as I do have the dies, well you never know when you might need one do you.
Pam, you do make me laugh, oh and those flying pink pigs have just flown over my house too, there is a real herd of them too. Reiterate all you have said.
Thinking of everyone who has problems, worries or just need a friendly hug today.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Morning Sue. WOW These are two beautiful cards. I have been making a few of your baby cards this past two weeks as my Son & Daughter-in-Law have had there first child and its my first Grandchild. It was a little boy and he his gorgeous. So I have had to make a few for the family to pass on. I just love all your dies from the New Arrival collection they have come in so handy, Congratulations to all the comment winners this week.
Best Wishes.

Good morning Sue. Two beautiful cards which any new parents would treasure. Congratulations to all today's winners. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
A warm sunny good morning to you Sue from Alnwick. Cute - an understatement. We've seen many a New Baby Shadow Box sample but I have to say that there are the nicest you've show cased. I just love how you've changed the colours on the baby boy bottle, something so little but big impact, and the dark blue shadows really highlights the whole of the card, the flower is just a delightful finishing touch to your baby girl sample. I'm praying to God with all my worth that New Baby Boy cards fall through Tina and Claire & Toby's post box by their hundreds in a few months time ☺ please God let them have happiness this year.
Every SB die, and every little accessory that goes with them are also a God send, such a brilliant idea Sue, and a fantastic tool for either those quick makes or for something extra special for those extra special cards we need or are asked for. Hope to see more SB accessories being added at some point ?
Many congratulations to the 3 comment winners, enjoy your gift, who else would be as generous as 'our Sue' in blog world, so have fun with it ladies.
Sending sunny smiles love n hugs your way Sue this beautiful Sunday morning xxx

Good Morning Sue and everyone,
The sun is up and it's a lovely morning.
Two lovely cards Sue, we have a baby girl expected in 6 weeks, so a card to make for her arrival. These are perfect.
Theresa (Yorky Girl)I went to Doncaster show yesterday, it was sooo busy,7.000 folks there I was told, 5 hours there and not managed to see and buy everything! But enjoy your time there and hope you can get all you need or want.
But Sue, I made sure I got my Prism striplet, Corvus gemini, Striped Nasturtiums, Exquiste Poppy and Meridium edger dies, and Cosmic shimmer glue. All Absolute essentials!
Just wish I could find those delicate colors of card stock you use Sue.
Have a good day Sue and everyone.
Take care

Lovely cute baby cards, although, to my liking, (and it's just as well we all have different tastes!) the pinks seem a little on the dark side for a baby - unless the camera hasn't picked up the true colours. Congratulations to the winners.

To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
Two Very Beautiful Cards Sue, Your Always Spoiling Us
Even Though I Don't Have Any Of "The New Arrival Range"
Your Cards Today Are "Just Exceptional" I Just So Love The Colour Combination Of Them Both
The Its A Girl In The Extremely Beautiful "Light/Deep Pinks" Also Using "The Twinkle Twinkle
Embossing Folder" Which I Do Have Its So Detailed Also Very Striking,
I Love All The Elements You've Used Within "Its A Girl Card" Also "The Very Exquisite Poppy"
Which You've Added "Iced Snow" I Love The Very Cute Elements You've Used
"The Rattle/Footprints/Bottle" Also "It's A Girl.
The Baby Boys Card Is Just As Outstanding Once Again "The Outstanding Dot Matrix Embossing Folder"
So Very Tactile.
The Colour Combination Is Just Tremendous "The Coconut White/Sky Blue/Dark Blue" They Look
Just Outstanding Together.
You've Used Very Similar Cutting Dies To The Previos Card The Only Difference Is The Exceptional
Colour, Also The Sentiment (Of Course Lol!!) Instead Of Adding A Flower You Added Buttons From
"The Button Die Cut" (From The New Arrival Collection)
Sue, Two Extremely Impressive Cards That Any Parent Would Love To Receive
You Make Life So Much Easier By Giving Us "The Stupendous Cutting Dies" Also "Magnificent Products" For Us To Use

Hello Sue,
I'm a bit earlier today! I do love the Shadow Box Dies and they are so versatile! Love both cards today but the girly one with the addition of the pretty sugared flower and ribbon is pretty hard to beat! Thanks for the tip about cutting the word Boy off as well. I hadn't thought of that!
Pam we have been quiet - we can be you know! However the noisy one, Saba, has been sailing - had a lovely time - but she is back home now. Maureen and I don't say much unless provoked!!
Congratulations to the comment winners , Sue, P. Austen and of course our Diane!
Lots of love, Myra. ( Friend of Maureen!) xxx

I love these cards today. The dies are fabulous.
Pam, keep smiling but stop sending those bl**dy pigs over here. They've made such a mess on the car and our bedroom window!! I actually met one of the 9 today with her husband and we had such a good natter and a few coffees!! I just hope her husband recovers soon - George is all right as Jess is quite normal ha ha.
Denise T, congratulations on becoming a Grandma, best feeling in the World.
Congratulations to P Austen, Sue K and of course one of the 9 Dainty Diane!!

Hi Sue. WOW !!! Such fantastic baby cards today !!! Really beautiful. I love the colours you have chosen for each card. You have included some wonderful, very cute little dies in your baby shadow box die set. Thank you for sharing not one but two fantastic cards today !!!
I have to say that yesterday's card was just Sooo beautiful too. The video was fab as always. I have your Prism striplet die but I have not used it yet. I am planning to use it very soon but first I need to make a Wedding card. I loved all your shows on Hochanda recently. You were fab !!! I loved all your samples and demo's.
I have been very lucky as Steve treated me to your new Twinkle Star Frames to use with your new Robin and Poinsettia Stained Glass Window dies. They look so elegant. I can't wait to get started on some Christmas cards but other occasions keep cropping up and I keep stopping to make extra unexpected cards !!! Thank you for all your daily inspiration Sue. You are amazing. Sending lots of love to you from Tres x x x

Hi Sue and everyone.
I love everything to do with babies and so your two very
cute cards are a treat to see. Don't think it will be any
grandchildren for us for a long time if ever but still love
the cards you make with the dies you made for it.
Congratulations to all three comment winners !
My thoughts are with you all who are going through some
really tough times lately. My wish is for you that everything
will be okay at the end. Sending you all many hugs
Also to all my very dear friends, you know who you are,
I'm sending some extra hugs too for a good week.

Love both of these new baby cards. The sugared flower is so pretty and the buttons are cute. Shame I haven't got these dies but as there are no little ones on the horizon so I can't justify getting them.

Take care everyone.
