Hello Baby

Hello crafters!  Here's a really precious baby card for you!  I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card with the Lavish Diamonds embossing folder for so,e light texture in the background.  Next I used the Double Stitched Squares and cut five small frames out of some decorative card in my craft stash.  (I think I have been holding on to it just for a baby card!)  I added all the frames in a diamond orientation to the background.  I selected coordinating coloured card for each of the frames and cut out animals from both the Zoo Animal die set and the Farm Animal set.  I added the animals with a bit of foam so they fill up the frame but also slightly hang over it.  I used the sentiments form the Newborn Sentiment die set and added Hello Baby to the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8" in size.  

   Just a quick note to let you know that I will be launching the Sept 2020 die release on the blog starting tomorrow morning!  Please join me here at 6am for the start of the launch! All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue yes its is precious its beautiful like all the baby inspiration you give to us, talking about precious, I had some precious cuties through my letter box yesterday - some of the funniest little munchkins that walk the arctic, your penguins arrived along with your new pointed poinsettia folder, so along with tomorrow's launch which is so needed to keep our spirits up, I'm really looking forward to seeing all the inspiration and beautiful samples that highlight your new collection, dont be anxious you know everyone will love them, as Ben said - "you are the designer that set new designs in motion for others to follow" at least its kept you busy and out of harm's way thank goodness xxx

A beautiful baby card Sue.
I bought a couple of your baby dies last year when one of my Grandson told me his Wife was pregnant and I was sure that would be the last baby in the family. I was WRONG. A couple of weeks ago his Brother came to tell me that HIS Partner was having a baby in the spring.
This card you have presented to us today would be great for a boy or girl wouldn't it. I really do love it.
I'm hoping to watch your shows later Sue if my PC will let me.
Have a great day.
Marie P.

Hi Sue,
Those baby animals are just adorable. I love pastel colours for anything to do with 'babies'. Old fashioned I know compared with many modern parents but, hey ho, life would be boring if we were all the same.
Really looking forward to your new launch tomorrow.
Hugs xxx Pauline

Tressa said...

This is a vey sweet card. This would be ideal for my hairdresser who has ruined my life by getting pregnant and is having a year out after her a baby comes.

How will I cope without her?

How will she cope with her first child?

Questions questions.

Such a sweet baby card. If I ever need one again, I do have the older baby animal set and putting them poking out of little squares is a great idea.

Hi Sue, you know that I love all your adorable baby cards. Love the way you have made the frames reflect the orientation of the Lavish Diamonds embossing, it is that attention to detail that makes your cards so special.
Looking forward to the launch tomorrow and I will pop in whenever I can.

What an adorable card! What a good idea to add all the frames in a diamond orientation to the beautiful background. Love this EF. The animals are just precious and the colors that you have chosen just bring them to life. Well done.
