Bundled in Love

Since I know that my brother and his girlfriend are having a baby boy we made this adorable card! The card stock used was chocolate chip and soft sky...my two favourite colours. This is a fairly simple card, mostly just paper layering and water colouring. The hippo is from the Bundled in Love stamp set and stamped in Blue Bayou ink on water colour paper. Using the watercolour crayons and aqua painter we painted the hippo. Added a little colour for the bow on the hippo, made a bow from the double stitched ribbon in blue bayou and voila! Quick and easy, but I just love the colour combination and the simplicity of the card.

Baby! Baby! Baby!

My funny mom, wanted to use each of the animals in the Bundled with Love set so that she didn't get bored making the same thing 30 times! hahahaha!
We used Watercolour paper, and could have used stayzon ink to prevent bleeding of the outline, but we wanted a softer outline and used blue bayou ink for the outline. All in all it didn't bleed too much. My mom used the watercolour crayons in soft subtles and the aqua painter to paint all of the animals. Welcome Baby is from the Short & Sweet stamp set and added something extra to some of the cards. On the little duckie she added a ribbon to the pull string which was really cute! The slot punch was used to create the hole for the ribbon at the top of the card. The rest was layers of paper.

Baby Shower Invitation!

My brother and his girlfriend are having a baby in July and my Mom and I are having a baby shower for our friends and family. These are the invitations that we made. I am sooo excited to have a baby around that I can give back when they're crying and stinky! LOL! And hug and hold when they are happy and satisfied! I'm kidding...sort of...lol. Seriously I love this stamp set, Bundled in Love is exactly what a baby is! We had to make 30 or so of these invitations so I used the computer to create the announcement and shower details. I coloured out our address and phone number for posting purposes...I can't imagine why can you? lol. It's much easier than you might think, I used Microsoft Word, chose my font, and copy and pasted the words on the document, saved and printed it on cardstock.
