Rubber Soul Baby Cards

More Pregnancy cards - and more cute RS stick people! I really like the option you have with clear polymer stamps (a/k/a "acrylic" stamps, although they aren't acrylic, just the blocks are) to bend the sentiments around the image, like I did below with "bun in the oven"




Stamps: Rubber Soul Baby collection
CS: banana, not quite navy, white, retired SU DP
Ink: Palette Noir
Markers: celery, pretty in pink
Other: celery grosgrain, wide white grosgrain, corner rounder, ticket corner punch, banana brads, Sakura glitter pen (on her dress)

Rubber Soul Engagement/Love

I have a friend who got engaged at Christmas, so I had a reason to break out my other Rubber Soul stick people! I am crazy about these cute people. The 'so happy for you' sentiment is from the Baby collection, the rest from the Love collection



I cut a heart shape out of a scrap piece of CS to sponge the heart in Blush Blossom ink. Really like how it turned out! (I am a horribly uneven heart shape-cutter, so I drew one side of a heart, and cut, then laid that cut half of the heart on the other side and cut around it to make it evenly shaped. I was all proud of that. I'm easily pleased).





Stamps: Rubber Soul Love Collection & Baby Collection (sentiment)
CS: blush blossom, white, moss, retired SU DP (?spring showers/flowers)
Ink: Palette Noir, blush (sponged heart)
Markers: moss, pretty in pink
Other: stardust Stickles (on bouquet), Making Memories velvet ribbon (pink and brown)

Big Baby News

I have several pregnant co-workers, and made the card above for a basic Congrats card, and the pink/blue cards below for the day they get their ultrasounds and find out the sex of the babies.

I love the Think Big stamp set, and trying to figure out different images to replace the "i" in Big. I just bought a load of $1 Michael's stamps that are vertical so I can try to fit them in this set for different occasions, so stay tuned.

Other: wasabi stitched ribbon, circle punches, scallop punch, stardust Stickles, bashful brads, white grosgrain, pink grosgrain, white gel pen

Big Baby

I am soooooo overdue on my cousin's baby gift. Here's the 6x6 card I made to go with it. It was supposed to be a "quick" card, but the Crystal Effects slows things down with drying time. But it's so cute on the pacifiers, I just had to use it. And AFTER I made the card, I found a perfect baby footprint stamp by PSE that I could have used for the "i" in Big. Next time!



Stamp Sets: Think Big (retired), Little Layers Plus (ret), Twinkle wheel (ret)
Ink: Pretty in Pink
CS: White, Pretty in Pink
Other: Crystal Effects on pacifier nipples, 1 1/4" circle punch, paper snips, pop up glue dots, rhinstone for dotted "i"

Baby Cards

Some quick cards~

This is a 3x3 gift card for a co-worker who had a baby boy. The pacifier is from the retired set Little Layers Plus. I used Crystal Effects on the nipple, and wrapped it with silver cord. The background is the little diaper pins from the Swell News set. The sentiment on the envelope is from the retired set Teeny Tiny:


This was a card for a friend who announced her pregnancy. I love the Swell News set girl. The designer paper is the retired Candy paper. The pale yellow organdy is non-SU:

Football Invitations

There are no stamps involved here, but the white gel pen and large oval punch sure were - they make perfect little footballs!

These were the invitations to my son's birthday party - they were cute and not too labor intensive (unlike my daughter's invitations, which took forever and a long day to complete!)

CS: WWhite, Garden Green, Close to Cocoa

Big Engagement News

A stamping friend of mine got engaged last weekend and I made her this card.

Stamps: Think Big, Happily Ever After, Paisley Bkgd
CS: WW, Black, Banana, Lilac
Ink: Lilac, Banana
Other: glue pen, DD glitter, non-SU sheer ribbon

I stamped the Paisley background in banana on the card base and also on the white focal image, though it may be hard to see in the photos. This was a fun card to make!

Retro Baby Card

CASE'd from Jami on SCS with minor changes:
