The Other Baby

Happy Birth Day, Baby Boy!

This card was CASEd from a swap I received (Hi, Patty!), and was so much fun to make, because it meant my sweet friend, Dawna, just became a grandma for the first time! Ooooo, she's in for so much joy and fun with her new grandson, Toby!!!  I swear, grandchildren truly are the reward for not killing your kids when they're teenagers. :-)

The Stitched Stockings set was used, but after the stockings were stamped and punched, the "cuff" was cut off and moved down to make booties.  It's the same principle used for the Baby Shower Invite, only done on a much smaller scale with the Stocking Builder Punch instead of the Holiday Stocking Bigz Die.  And see those nifty diagonal score lines? They were scored with the new Simply Scored Scoring Tool. Oh. Em. Gee. It's fab!

Stamps: Stitched Stockings, Petite Pairs, Everyday Wishes
Cardstock: Whisper White, Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist
Ink: Marina Mist Classic, Smooch Illuminate Topcoat Accent Ink
Accessories: Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Stocking Builder Punch, Modern Label Punch, White Baker's Twine, Marina Mist 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Stampin' Sponge, Stampin' Dimensionals

Baby Boy

The whole first-cousin, second-cousin, removing cousins thing has me confusticated, so I looked it up on Wikipedia which, as we all know, is the be-all, end-all, ultimate source for accurate information. ;-)  If I read the chart correctly, then this card is for my first-cousin, once removed, who happens to be my cousin's daughter. She's expecting a baby (her first!) in about six weeks. I can't make it to the shower this weekend, so this little card, and a gift, will have to take my place.

Check out those tiny silver brads on the wheel hubs. Aren't they the bee's knees?!

Today is my Stampin' Up! anniversary! I've been a demonstrator for two whole years now.  (I put the demon in demonstrator!)  (Humming the anniversary song to myself.)
