My sister in law and her husband are expecting their first baby so I've been working on a card to congratulate the new parents to be. I found some great inspiration online for some really cute cards with the bun in the oven theme. Here's my card.......
The sentiment is computer generated. I printed the Congratulations on my Baja Breeze cardstock and the inside sentiment was printed on PTI White CS and taped inside the card.
The little cupcake on the front and inside were both paper pieced.
Since I don't have a die cut for an oven (or a Gypsy or Cricuit for that matter), I had to make my own oven with the supplies I had.
Here is the recipe for the Oven:
Oven: 2 3/4" x 3" certainly celery - I made a mate around that 2/16" larger than the base in chocolate chip
Oven Door: 1 3/4" x 2 1/8"- chocolate chip and vellum
Knobs: SU Owl Punch Eyes - Chocolate Chip
SUCupcake Builder Punch Circles - Certainly Celery
Stamps: Inkadinkado, Birthday Cupcakes
Heart: SU Owl Punch
I'm including this card in the following challenges:
The Paper Players: #89 Tickle Your Funny Bone
Shopping our Stash: Punch it Out
Ditzy Crafty Mess: Baby Theme
and the inside......

I used 3 Punches to make the oven:
- SU Owl Punch
- SU Cupcake Builder Punch
- Corner Rounder Punch
Here is the recipe for the Oven:
