Docraft Forever Friends Kraft Notes Baby Girl Card

 

Hi everyone 😊

Today I am sharing a Baby Card that I made for my niece and partner who just had their first baby - a beautiful little girl.  So I am a Great-Aunt again for the 11th time!  Wow, I feel so OLD!  

This is also my card for the following Challenges:  

Ellibelle's Corner - Craft Wednesday Challenge for July - Anything Goes

Splitcoaststampers - Free for All Friday F4A693 - Oh Baby Baby! - Share your Baby Creations 

Shopping our Stash - SOS501 - No Stamping Allowed - where they don't want you to use your stamps but instead use patterned paper, stickers, die cuts, stencils, pictures etc.  

Please click on the underlined link to go to their respective Challenge. 

The main image is diecut decoupage by Docrafts from their Forever Friends Kraft Notes collection.  There aren't many layers so it was super-easy to put together with 0.5mm dimensionals.  You can see the dimension in this photo:

The bottom daisy designer paper is also from the Docrafts Kraft Notes Design Stax 6" x 6" paper.  The top pink designer paper is from the 12" x 12" pad and was dry-embossed using my Big Shot and Crafter's Companion Die'sire Embossalicious EF-6 embossing folder which added some lovely texture to my card.  I have had this folder for many years and is long-retired.

I diecut some small hearts from pink glitter cardstock using an Impression Obsession die - Mini Hearts Row - and glued them on using Tombow Mono Aqua glue around the main image panel.  The 3 larger hearts at the bottom RHS were punched from pink glitter cardstock using a Carl CP-8 Heart Duo punch.  I added a strip of pink glitter cardstock across the centre which tied everything together.

Everything is layered onto an Anko white card base using my favourite glue - Tombow Mono Multi.  

Finished size is 5-1/4" x 5-1/4" or 134mm x 134mm.

Couture Creations Sunburnt Country Decoupage Birthday Card

 

Hi everyone 😀

I have been wanting to post this card for 2 weeks but it has been far too windy to take a photo (I take my photos outside) or it has been raining or the light has been incredibly dreary.  Ah, that's Winter for you!

I made this card for my daughter's 20th birthday and specifically chose Corellas for the main image as she really loves them and enjoys their visits to our garden.  We are so lucky to live on the edge of the country surrounded by native flora and have all manner of native birds visit us which we really love.

The main image is diecut decoupage called 'Cockatoo' by Couture Creations from their Sunburnt Country range.  This sheet has other Australian native birds on them - Sulphur-crested Cockatoo and Major Mitchell Cockatoo.  I layered the Corellas up using 0.5mm dimensionals then glued them onto dusky rose cardstock then navy blue.  These were diecut using my Big Shot and Lifestyle Nesting Circle and Nesting Scallop Circle dies.  You can see a close-up of the image layers here:

The dusky rose cardstock dry embossed central panel is a small embossing folder by Hobby Central which I have had for ages and its exact name is unknown  I tried an internet seach and came up with nothing.  The folder is about 1 inch in width with just a single row of flowers and dots.  If you know what it is, please leave me a comment below.  

The top and bottom designer papers came from KMart (Australia) and are by Anko - Flora and Fauna Mini Paper Stack and are part of their current range instore.  I love KMart papers as they are really good quality and very affordable.  I buy alot of cardmaking items from KMart especially since Riot Art and Craft shut down all their stores and went online.  Probably my only complaint about KMart craft and cardmaking items is that I wish they had a bigger range!

The sentiment is also by Couture Creations from the Sweeping Plains Ephemera Set and was popped up on 1mm dimensionals.

I punched a heart from pink glitter cardstock using a Carl CP8 heart duo punch (I used the smallest heart) and glued them to each corner of the card using Tombow Mono Aqua glue.  

The bottom dusky rose and navy blue cardstock layers were trimmed to 1/16" and 1/8" respectively using my Perfect Layers Tools.

Once my card front was finished, I glued it to a white card base using Tombow Mono Multi glue.  Finished size is 146mm x 146mm or 5-3/4" x 5-3/4".
