Something For Baby Card

A new baby is always a joyous occasion and it is lovely to have some hand made cards to give to the new parents. Stampin' Up! have produced some great time saving bundles in the new Annual Catalogue and one of them is the Something For Baby stamp set bundled with Baby's First framelits dies. You'll find them on page 74 of the Annual Catalogue.

One of the features I like best about bundles with framelits is the time it saves with no laborious hand cutting. You can see from the photo how neatly the framelits cut out the images.

AND

When you purchase both the stamps and the framelits together as a bundle you save 15% of the total price.

I used some of the patterned papers from the Designer Series Paper Stacks for a quick background. These papers are very useful patterns and come in each of the Colour Families - they mix and match beautifully too. 

This is the finished card using a single image. It was quick and easy to make and the same design can be used for each of the images in the set. 

If you would like to order any of these products please contact me or order directly at my on-line store

I hope you enjoy the card and get some inspiration for ways to use it yourself.

Until Next time,

Save On Stampin' Up! Bundles

I love how Stampin' Up! rewards us for purchasing coordinating items. In the new Seasonal Catalogue you will find 4 BUNDLES consisting of a stamp set and a set of Framelits.

What is the reward? A saving of 15% per bundle to every customer who purchases one, or more and of course the reward of having framelits that cut the shapes of the stamps quickly with just a quick pass through your Big Shot. 

You will find these bundles in the Seasonal Catalogue:

Oh Hello Bundle - page 4

Hearts A Flutter Bundle - page 11

Secret Garden Bundle - page 17

All Dressed Up Bundle - page 32

Here is a card I made using the Secret Garden Bundle plus one of the FREE  Sale-A-Bration gifts - Vine Street Embossing Folder.

Just imagine all the time I saved by not having to hand cut around the flowers and leaves!

I'm loving that, as it gives me more time to spend on the water colouring - something I really love to do. 

Each of the flowers is coloured with ink from the lid of the Early Espresso Ink pad and then highlighted with Pretty in Pink  Ink applied  with my Aqua Painter. I love how 3-D the flowers look when in fact they are flat. 

The background uses the Early Espresso Core'dinations Card stock that has been dry embossed with the Vine Street Embossing Folder then sanded back with the Stampin' Sanding System.

A little Linen Thread bow adds to the texture of the card.
