CAS Giraffe

CAS giraffe - This week at Creative Card Crew we have been very busy. We had over 1000 entries this past challenge. We each have an assigned number to comment on, but that was still over 100 each. We are thrilled to have so many who like and follow our challenge blog. Thanks to all you entered!

Creative Card Crew is also keeping the stork busy. We have a total of 5 babies that have just or will soon join our families. So in honor of this, our challenge this time is something for a baby.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Simon Says Stamp! They have given a $20. gift voucher to one lucky winner. They have really awesome craft supplies to include Copics and Magnolia stamps. They also carry some Heartfelt Creations products which I love!

In light of how busy I have been commenting, I went with a Clean And Simple card. I have had these stamps from Autumn Leaves for a while. It is a set and you just ink each in a different color ink and stamp. I used Rangers Broken China and Blue Jeans distress ink. I embossed with a Spellbinders. My sentiment is Hot Off The Press.

I am one of the lucky ones that the stork will be visiting. My 3rd grandson is due next month and this card is for him! Cal, I can't wait to met you!

Look What the Stork Brought!

Look What the Stork Brought!!!! - This weeks challenge at Sew Many Challenges is 3 or more brads. It is an easy challenge and you don't have to use a Sew Many Cards image to join in on the fun.

My DP paper is Big Lots Welcome Baby. I cut the image and sentiment using a SpellBinders. The eyelash yarn is from the Dollar Tree. I bought that skein about 5 years ago and I still have most of it. So it was a really good buy. The ribbon is a scrap from my stash. Did you notice my striped brads. I had removed them from there packaging, so I don't know who made them, but they are really fun.
For my card, I used Sew Many Cards, Tayla Stork image, that I colored with Copic's. I have been wanting to color this image for a while, so I am happy to finally have a chance to use it.

We really do expect the stork to bring us a little blue bundle soon. My daughter is due in October!!!! I promise to post photos when he arrives! You know how we grandma's are, there will be lots of photos of him. LOL This bundle of joy will be our 3rd grandson. My husband is ecstatic that it is another boy. He is working on a Boy Scout Patrol, which has 6 boys. I would like just one girl, before he gets his patrol. LOL
Today's Friday Freebie is this adorable Birthday Yummies image. You can get it here, but is is available today only, so get it quick!

My DP is MME's Kaleidoscope. The ribbon is MS and I pulled to ruffle it. My sentiment is Autumn Leaves.

I colored Birthday Yummies with Copic's. I distressed the image with Ranger's Worn Lipstick. Come and show us your brads at Sew Many Challenges!

Glittered Angel

Glittered Angel - This is angel Bailey bear by Sew Many Cards. What a sweety she is. The challenge this week at Sew Many Challenges is to use glitter.

I used 2 different kinds of glitter on Bailey. I used Ultra fine glitter by MS on the cloud and a chunkier glitter on the wings. Bailey was colored with Copic's.

My DP is Pressed Petal - Baby Girl. I used a lace that has tiny pink sequins in it. Can you see the glimmer?

My sentiment is stampendous and the tiny bird that I stamped in pink is from Hot off the Press.

Today's Friday Freebie is Love Tree. You too, can get this image for free today, but today only here. My Love Tree was colored with Copic's. The pink emblem is cut with a Spell Binders. My ribbon is tied with my Bow Easy and I hung a charm with a heart on it.

Baby Girl Halen

Baby Girl Halen - For today's DT card for Sew Many Challenges, I used the Halen in basket image. The challenge this week is "New Things." Halen was colored with Copic's and I used a tiny bit of stickles on her nose. I also used some liquid pearls for her wisp of bangs. I cut Halen with a Spellbinders Nestie enbossed and distressed using the same Nestie and some tea dye distress ink. The DP is unknown. It was a scrap in my scrapbox.

I used lots of gemstones to give her some bling and the little bow was a stocking stuffer that my daughter gave me for Christmas.
