KCRR #25 {Precious Little One}

Welcome to another KCRR challenge!


Today's chosen items are:

Button Buddies Stamp Set
Bashful Blue
 
The first thing that came to mind was "baby boy card". Button Buddies is such a great all occasion stamp set! I decided to use the baby rattle stamp and chose So Saffron and Night of Navy to go with the Bashful Blue. I picked an older sketch from Mojo Monday as a guideline for my design:



 
The sentiment may be a little hard to see in this photo. It says "precious little one". The rattle is popped up using dimensionals and bakers twine is added to embellish it. I've also embellished each circle with a rhinestone.
 
 
 

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to come back tomorrow for a new "Inspired By..." challenge!
 
Hop on over to Karly's Creations to see how she used these two elements in her card!

DS96 & PP156 {Baby Boy Sailboat Card}

Despite the rain, yesterday was a good day! And the rain just makes the snow melt and wash away, so it's not such a bad thing! I spent the morning cleaning the apartment and my crafting table (scraps of paper everywhere!). I then picked up my hubby from the airport (it was SO good to see him!) and spent the rest of the day papercrafting (only 2 weeks left before the craft show!)

For today's card, I played along with two challenges: Deconstructed Sketch and Pal's Paper Arts. 

 
 
I love this colour combo! It's perfect for a baby boy card. And the sketch has just enough layers. Instead of the heart shape, I decided to put together a sailboat using punch art.


 
It was super easy to make! I simply cut a 1-3/8" circle in half for the boat itself, and the sails were created by cutting 1-1/4" and 1" squares in half. I popped it up to give it some dimension. A small green heart is added to one of the sails and bakers twine is wrapped around the boat for an added embellishment.


Thanks for looking!
