New Addition of Stamp

Left : We R Memory Keepers Family Keepsake Collection - Brother
Right : 
Making Memories basic medium circle brads
Debbie done a sale for her store, Crafty Heart on 19 February 2011 till 23 February with 10% discount on all items expect pre-order. I did not take the offer as the stamps I want (Christmas stamps) was removed from her store to make some room for the new items.


In early March 2011, she announced that there are some new stamp stocks on We R Memory Keepers. I take a peep into her store and eyed for one particular stamp from We R Memory Keepers but did not order it as I am still considering to buy other items or not. On 22 March 2011, Debbie e-mailed us that her store, Crafty Heart will have another sale till 25 March 2011 with 15% discount on all items expect pre-order. It was lucky for me that I did not take the February 2011 offer as this March 2011 discount was better and also some new stamps.

On the same day of 22 March 2011, I ordered two (2) items from Crafty Heart. They are We R Memory Keepers Clear Stamp Family Keepsake collection - Brother and Making Memories basic medium circle brads. I did not pay on the spot after Debbie has confirmed my order as I been thinking if I have others to purchase. Debbie sent an extended sale notification on 24 March 2011 which the sale will be extended till 27 March 2011. The extended sale notification e-mail served as a reminder to me to pay my order.


I made the payment on 25 March 2011 but it was too late as Debbie has already gone to the post office. She told me that she will only post my items on Monday instead. Well, what can I said since I missed the boat and it was my fault that I did not make the payment earlier.

Anyhow, these two (2) items has arrived at my doorstep today! I hope I can make use of them very soon especially the brads as I have some projects idea on my mind!

Happy Birthday Sweet Little One - Girl

Baby Birthday card - Front
This card is inspired by Hero Arts March 2011 challenge which themed Birthdays and Stamped Envelope and Wee Memories Challenge #48 which co-challenge with Lawnscapings - Cute and Cuddly. I decided to make a birthday card for a baby girl as I see most of the birthday cards that enter the challenge are mainly for adult.

This card layout is inspirational from Card Patterns Sketch 107 sketch/challenge as shown above. 

Baby Birthday card - Inside
As it a birthday card for baby girl, mostly colors and shades used are pink and red. The card base is using two toned cardstock whereby the front of the card is red while the inside is pink.

Close-up : Layers of cardstock, pattern paper and ribbon
A shimmering red cardstock is trimmed into 3" x 6" and both length edges are scalloped. Red ribbon with scalloped at both ends is secured on top and middle of a pattern paper of pink shading. The top end of the ribbon is tied with a bow before secure its end onto the pattern paper. The pattern paper is attached on top of the shimmering card. The shimmering card is then attached onto of the red card base.

Close-up : Cute little baby girl
A 3" x 3" square pink card is trimmed. In the middle top of the card, it is stamped with a cute baby girl image from INK97650 Inkadinkado Welcome Baby. Another baby girl is stamped on a cream cardstock to paper piece her head and body and another is stamped on the same pattern paper to paper piece her diaper.

Close-up : Sentiment 'Happy Birthday Sweet Little One'
Sentiment 'Happy Birthday' from Hero Arts CL272 All Occasion Messages and 'Sweet Little One' from Hero Arts CL144 Baby Boy are stamped onto the bottom of the pink square card using opera pink ink. That makes 'Happy Birthday Sweet Little One'!

Close-up : Final touch
The pink square card is then layered onto a red square card (same red of the card base).

Close-up : The cupcake inside the card
The cupcake from Hero Arts CL382 Wonderful Birthday is stamped on a white cardstock and colored with marker. The original candle on the cupcake is trimmed/masked off so that this card can be dedicated to baby aged between one and two years old. The colored and trimmed cupcake is then attached inside the card at the bottom corner.
