Baby Shower Cards!

There are a lot of stamp companies out there these days but none does cutesy animals and images better than Lawn Fawn!  I had a request for a baby shower card and came up with two equally sweet options!

Here’s the first:

Yep, another shaker card! 😉 I recently ordered these adorable mini stars from Butterfly Reflections Ink and I’ve been dying to use them in a shaker!  I stamped the mobile and sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and die-cut the image with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circles.  I colored the mobile with copics (yay #thedailymarker30day!) and went over it with my clear wink of stella glitter brush before applying glossy accents to the stars and moon.  While that was drying I assembled the shaker card.

I cut the silver frame with the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle die and glued acetate to the back.  Then I used fun foam to create the frame and holder for the shaker contents.  I filled the shaker with the aforementioned tiny stars in silver and iridescent white, and Metallic Silver Stars and a mix of Glass Slippers sequins from The Ton.  It’s super sparkly!  To finish the card I adhered the circle to the front of the shaker and attached the shaker to a top-folding card base.

And here’s the second!

I decided to use the Hello Baby set for this card and started off by stamping the duckling, umbrella, and clouds with Memento Tuxedo Black ink before die-cutting them.  Then I colored them with copics…I went over the clouds with my wink of stella glitter brush pen and added some glossy accents raindrops to the umbrella!  Next I die-cut a watercolor panel with the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Borders 1 die set (thanks to winning a gift certificate from the last Virginia’s View Challenge!) and stamped some of the sprigs of grass from the LF Hello Baby set in distress ink.  I went over the grass with a wet paintbrush and added a few more sprigs and grass with the same distress ink.  Once that was dry, I adhered the duck and then used foam mounting tape to add the umbrella.  I adhered the panel to a piece of patterned paper from Lawn Fawn.  Next I added the clouds and stamped the raindrops and sentiment.  I tied a yellow ribbon around the piece and then adhered it to a top-folding card base.

I intentionally wanted to create cards that were gender neutral and I am really happy with the way they turned out.  I’m still working on my copic coloring but it’s becoming more enjoyable (and less intimidating) everyday!

I’m entering both cards into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: B is for…(baby!) and the second card into the Lawnscaping Challenge: Dots and Stripes!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you’ll stop by tomorrow for my next Stamp Study!
