Oh so foxy

This is my mom's ridiculously late Mother's Day card. Yup, I just made it today.

I started by making the background using some layering flower stamps from one of the My Favorite Things card kits. I then created the fox by coloring some white card stock and then using the Foxy Friends die from Wplus9.

I wanted to make the cute little fox the focal point of my card, so I used the Pretty Pink Posh Decorative Tag 1 die to cut an oval from the background. I then purposely turned the resulting frame upside down to give the border of the oval more interest.

I finished off my card with the I Love You border die from Lawn Fawn and some Pretty Pink Posh metallic gold sequins.

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

Some bunny is on the way

Here is a simple card I made for my brother and my sister-in-law. They are expecting a baby in August! It is not a typical masculine card that I try to make for my brother, but that is okay because it is for his baby boy. And baby cards can be cutesy, regardless of the sex of the baby. :)

The baby shower was yesterday and was so much fun! My favorite game was "hot pacifier," which was played just like hot potato. It was hilarious.

Anyhoo, even though I know I will be getting a new nephew, I just had to add some sparkle to my card with Pretty Pink Posh iridescent heart confetti and some sparkle sheer shimmer spritz from Tsukineko.

I stamped "some bunny is on the way" inside my card, but I don't have a pic.

The iridescent confetti can really catch the sunshine. Check it out!

Little cowboy

Yay! I finished these baby shower invitations for my brother and my sister-in-law a week ago, but I waited to write this post until after my mom mailed them out.

The shower theme is little cowboys, and this cute horse from Mama Elephant was the only stamp I had that would work! I had thought the theme might be camping/outdoorsy/woodsy. I have tons of stamps for that. :) But I still love how the invitations came out. The horse ended up being perfect.

This awesome die from My Favorite Things opens up to reveal a secret. In the case of this project, it reveals the baby's name. My nephew will be called Declan Chase.

The actual inside of the invitations had a little poem at the top:

One small request that won’t be too hard

Please bring a book instead of a card

Whether Cat in the Hat or Winnie the Pooh

You can sign the book with a note from you

And the bottom part had the typical details of where and when and also this initial sentiment:

Janelle and Danny are having a little cowboy!

Help us celebrate

I made 30 invitations. Whew! That is a record for me. :)

Life is good

One of my best friends turned 40! I thought this card was fun because the "40" is chilling in a hammock at the beach. :) Life is good at 40!

I considered putting googly eyes on the 40, but then decided that it would have been too much. Sometimes I don't edit myself!

I can't believe this is the first time I've used this Lawn Fawn stamp set and patterned paper pack. I buy so many products and then forget to use them. :)
