Welcome Baby




The inspiration for todays card came from a Global Design Project Colour Challenge - which features the colours Night of Navy, Azure Afternoon and Balmy Blue, and; the Stampin' Up Creative Challenge for January - which is a sketch challenge.

 



For my card, I used the Welcome Baby stamp set from the new January-April 2026 mini catalogue. This stamp set is so cute with a range of different baby related icons and sentiments. If you would like to have a go at making this card yourself, I've put the measurements I've used for my card at the end.

 



Measurements:

Card base - 1/2 A4 card stock
Base Mat - 3 7/8 x 5 11/16

I've added number to the template so that you can see where each piece goes.


Layers 1, 2 and 3 used Balmy Blue
1 - 2 1/4 x 1 1/2
2 - 2 1/2 x 1
3 - 1 x 1

Layers 4 and 5 used Azure Afternoon 
4 - 2 /1/2 x 2
5 - 2 x 1 1/8

Layers 6, 7 and 8 used Night of Navy
6 - 7/8 x 7/8
7 - 1 1/2 x 3/4
8 - 1 1/2 x 2

The sentiment was stamped on a scrap of white card measuring 3/4 x 1 5/8 and this was placed over layer 5.

I stamped all the images onto white card and fuzzy cut them out. Some of the images have been applied with dimensionals to give them extra depth.

A 5/16 x 5 11/15 strip of Night of Navy was ran through the retired mini corrugated 3D embossing folder and placed to the left hand side.


Then because I likes the layout so much - I had to make another one in pinks and then another in yellows!




I hope you like these cards, please feel free to comment and share if you use these measurements, I'd love to see what you make.

Sunshine vibes cards



Today’s card was made for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge #690- but I was a day late in being able to post it because I thought it finished on Wednesday but it finished Monday. Oh well, I will know for next week. 

 I loved the simplicity of this sketch and it prompted me to use some designer series paper. 

I’ve chosen to use the Boho Vibes Suite collection for this card- the Boho vibes DSP for the background and the sunshine vibes dies. I’ve chosen not to add a sentiment to this card because I think it could be used for so many different purposes. 



Once I started making cards using this sketch, I couldn’t stop so I also made 5 more- this time using the rainbow die. The really cool thing with this die is that if you cut the rainbow on 5 different colours, you can make 5 different rainbows to add onto your cards. 

After I took these photos, I did add some of the Muted Palette dots for a little bling- but I forgot to take photos!

Christmas scrapbook page

This scrapbook page celebrates one of my family Christmas traditions of helping out with the local community Christmas dinner. 

I have used squares of DSP from my stash and squares of card which I have embossed to add texture. 

I’ve also used a flip flap to hide my journaling and place my page title. 

Let me know what you think.

Christmas scrapbook page

I have been trying trying to use up my DSP stash on some scrapbook pages that I have been meaning to get around to for ages. 

On this page I’ve created my own Christmas trees by cutting card into triangles and then adding texture using embossing folders.

I am really happy with how this turned out

A lifetime of love scrapbook page

This is a photo of my great uncle, great grandmother, great great grandmother and great, great, great grandmother from about 1925. 

I don't usually use bright colours in my family history pages but I think that this one works brilliantly. 

I’ve used some DSP from my stash and added flowers from the layers of beauty bundle.

Heartfelt Hexagon Scrapbook Page

Hello and Welcome Back,

Today I am sharing a Scrapbook page I made using the Bloom Impressions DSP and the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. The back ground if this page was made by punching lots and lots of hexagons and then carefully gluing them onto a piece of 12 x 12 Blackberry Bliss Card. The hardest part was placing the hexagons so that the same colour was not on the same line and was not touching on subsequent lines!

This is page also included some ephemera from the Fully Flowering Ephemera pack - I think it was a great way to finish off the page. 
The title "Beautiful" comes from the Saying something ephemera pack.
Again I have included hand written journaling which explains the photo to future generations who read it.
