SSINKspiration: Celebrating Babies

Today over at SSINKspiration we are Celebrating Babies!  Baby Cards are one of my favorites to make!  The occasion of having a new baby in your family is one of the happiest and I just love to celebrate when a new little joins the world!

So here is my card today...

I used the stamp set: Label Love.  Its an all occasion stamp set that I just absolutely love!  There are so many punches that go along with this stamp set and that just makes creating all the easier!

For this card I used the Artisan Label Punch and the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch.

I also have to say that the High Tide Designer Series Paper was a big surprise when I opened it.  In the catalog I just kinda passed by it...over and over and over again.  Then I decided to get some for myself and WOW!  Not all of the images have to do with fishies and whales.  This super cute star pattern is one of the patterns and I LOVE IT!

Practical Scrappers: Inspired by Pinterest

I love the challenge we have a Practical Scrappers to be inspired by Pinterest to create something.  I am on Pinterest multiple times a day and I just LOVE getting inspiration for my cards and scrapbook pages there! 

 

Before I show you my card, I have to tell you that I LOVE the work of Kimberly Van Diepen.  She is a Stampin' Up Demonstrator too and does great work!  It's so much fun to see what she comes up with every day.  She always seems to have something new!

 

So here is the pin that inspired me.  I love the way Kimberly's card came together and even though I used it as inspiration to create one that is almost the same, I still like hers a lot better!

We are attending a wedding on Saturday and I knew I needed to create a card to give the lovely new Mr. & Mrs.  So here you have it! 

 

I hope you enjoyed both of the cards I posted today.  Be sure to head on over to the Practical Scrappers blog to see what the other Design Team members came up with today!
