Sunday Stamps Challenge - SSC74 - Sketch Time!

I adopt the simple sketch from Sunday Stamps Challenge - SSC74 - Sketch Time! as shown above.

As the sketch is simple, I used a soft blue pattern paper as the background in which layered on a yellow card base. A yellow corrugated strip is attached onto the pattern paper as in sketch. Then, a strip of orange card stock, a blue gingham ribbon and a negative die cut edge are attached onto the yellow corrugated strip as shown in the sketch.

A baby in a cloth is stamped on a white circle and colored using Copic markers. Two (2) tiny blush are added to the baby cheek just beside its smile. It looks so adorable with that tiny blush! Some faux stitching are added to the circle lining using a blue gel pen. The circle is then attached onto the card as in the sketch using pop dots to give some dimension.

Close-up : Sentiment

The sentiment is stamped on top of the yellow corrugated strip on the left as in sketch. As final touch, a gem is added to cloth knot.

Chickadee Newborn Congratulations

Chickadee Newborn Congratulations

Made this card for one of my colleague who just gave birth to her fourth son early April. She always wanted a daughter when I knew her before she had her second son but till the fourth pregnancy, she still blessed with a son. Hopefully the next time I made another baby/newborn congratulation card for her, it is a baby girl congratulation card!

Sketch Saturday Week #306

I adopt the simple sketch from Sketch Saturday Week #306 as shown above by rotating the sketch to left. The colors of the card was inspired by Just Us Girls JUGS #237 - Color Challenge as shown below.

On a white card stock, the grass is stamped in multiple layers. Then, three (3) chickadees that are facing right are stamped on the left of the card stock. The mother hen is stamped in front of the three (3) chickadees. This mimic that my colleague already have three (3) kids. In front of the mother hen, a chickadee that is facing left is stamped which mimic her newborn. The images are colored with Copic markers.The broken egg shell is manual created by cutting the whole egg shell into two (2) parts and added some black lining to the 'broken' edges.

My Nephew Baby Announcement

Baby Boy Announcement - Front

How times files as today is my nephew, Kendryck Lau full moon (Chinese tradition of one month old baby celebration and announcement) already! According to Chinese tradition, my younger brother and sister-in-law is going to distribute red eggs to family and friends like what I did to my son last time. Well, being the crafty sister and aunty, of course I made some baby announcement cards for them to be included in the red eggs distribution.

Close-up : Wrapped baby

I decided to do a tri-folded card this time and I could not think of other colors other than blue for baby boy! So, again, the baby announcement card is based on blue hues and shades. First, I stamped the wrapped baby (I just like this baby image so much) onto a white cardstock. Below the baby image, a lovely sentiment of "We've Been Blessed With A" is stamped which my new stamp set I got few weeks ago (just nice for this occasion). I color the baby image with some Copic markers. Then, I distress the white card with Broken China. The finished card is then attached onto a front blue card.

Close-up : Sentiment

Baby Boy Announcement - Second Fold

On the second fold, it is a light blue scalloped rectangular layered on yellow scalloped circle. On the light blue scalloped rectangular, it has the sentiment, "Baby Boy" to complete the sentiment from the front which is "We've Been Blessed With A".

Close-up : Continual Sentiment Inside Second Fold

Baby Boy Announcement - Inside

Once the second fold is open, it is the announcement details. It is stamped on a white cardstock and distress with Broken China as well on the edges. A brad is used to hold the blue gingham ribbon which is tucked behind the announcement details card.

Close-up : Baby Announcement Details

Baby announcement card inserted into reg organza bag with two (2) eggs

Here is the baby announcement card which has been inserted into a red organza bag that contains two (2) red eggs (the eggs are hidden behind the card). This time, bigger organza bag is used as my mum says it would be nicer to close the opening of the organza bag that looks like flower.

Dimension : 6.86cm x 8.9cm or 2.7" x 3.5"

Type : Vertical tri-fold

Inlay : Yes with stamped sentiment and image
