Baby Shower Invitation

My little sister Ginger is having a Baby Boy in Sept.. So we are having a baby shower for her..

My mom asked me to make the shower invitations for her.. So here they are..

Sweet and simple.. We are soooo excited for her.. this will be her second boy the oldest is 13.. So don't you think it's time for new baby goodies...

I Don't have any baby stamps from Stampin' Up... I know how weird is that.. But I do have this Yummy set from "Papertry inc." I did a little paper piecing with this cute onsie. What is Paper piecing... Really simple.. I stamped on patten paper and cut the image out.. Is that easy peasie or what... I used 2 different designer series paper patterns from Stampin' Up paper pack. I ran the card base through the Big Shots machine using the "Stampin' Up Backgrounds #1 Texturz Plates". (don't forget to spritz the paper with a light mist of water before you run it through what a difference it will make) Then I distressed the card with Whisper White Craft ink from SU. I cut of the bottom edge of the card front and replaced it with a white scallop edge I cut using the S.U. Scallop edge punch I glued it on with a small line of Mono liquid glue.. Using the scraps of paper I had left from the Onsie I sewed the strips of paper onto the card. To add a sentiment to the card I stamped the message on a Strip of Kraft paper then raised it on the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finished up with a little Whisper White Ribbon from SU and a small button from my button collection...

This is a great card for mass producing... You just get it all cut out and sit down snuggle someone special and watch a good movie...

Thanks for stopping buy..

What a fun card this was to make... I have had a LONG week... This morning I had a great stamp club with a couple a my favorite gals... We had a very unconventional stamp club.. I knew I was having only a few girls over because of all the summer activities everyone had. I decided to ask one of the girls what she really wanted to make or what she wanted to learn. She said I NEED new techniques.. I am getting in a slump. So as I watched Zach splash around this week. The though of Sewing on paper came to mind... When I told her she was so excited... I new she enjoyed sewing and has even brought one of her quilts to show us all.. So voila~ We made a patchwork card using the Bigz Top Note Die by Sizzix.. So fun to just create as we went... Then we concentrated on how to use our scraps and leftover elements... last but not least we learned how to use a layout template... We even found cards in the Stampin' Up catalog and sketched the layout on paper so we could see the layout and concentrate on stamps, paper and elements we already have... Now we can make a Christmas card from what was a Birthday card in the Catalog... I LOVE THE STAMPIN' UP CATALOG it is such a great resource for ideas and inspiration...

Long story short I still haven't picked up all the mess so I used my scraps and used one of the techniques we did in our class this morning... I love how simple this card is and how cool it looks..

Enjoy!
