Congratulations...on your Bun in the Oven

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.......

and the inside......

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. 

I used 3 Punches to make the oven:  

1. SU Owl Punch
2. SU Cupcake Builder Punch
3. Corner Rounder Punch

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

Supplies

I'm including this card in the following challenges:
The Paper Players:  #89 Tickle Your Funny Bone
Shopping our Stash:  Punch it Out

Welcome Baby CAS-ual Friday Challenge

This week's challenge at CAS-ual Friday's is to create a baby card!  I just found out last week that I'm going to be an Aunt again so the timing for this theme is PERFECT ♥  The sweet little one won't be here until September but it's never too early to start working on baby projects!

I made this little boat using a 1 3/8 inch circle punched out slightly more than 1/2 way and a 1 inch square cut into 2 triangles and trimmed.  I popped all the boat pieces up with dimensionals.  The Welcome Baby stamp is from the Totally Stampalicious new release FUNNY STROLLERS.  The base of this card is Stampin Up retired Barely Banana that I've been hoarding saving.

Baptism Card with a Sketch

It's been a busy weekend for card making!  Yesterday I had the honor of being Godmother to the sweetest boy!  Here's the card I made for his baptism.

I really love how clean and simple this is.  I used the retired Special Blessings set from Stampin Up.  I embossed the cross and the sentiment on to Baja Breeze cardstock and layered it onto my Papertrey Ink white cardstock.  For the layout I used the current Pals Paper Art Sketch PPA129.  I LOVE this sketch!!!  Hopefully I'll get a chance to use it again!

Here's the sketch:

It's a BOY!!! Welcome Baby Dreux!!!

Today I'm sharing this adorable It's a BOY card!  One of my very best friends and her husband just had a little boy before Thanksgiving and this is the card I made for them.  I made the boat from scraps of retired SU Designer Paper.  For the bottom of the boat I just punched 3/4 of a circle leaving the straight edge.  For the sails I made two triangles from a square and then trimmed one shorter than the other.  I cut free hand the flag at the top.  The boat shape itself was inspired by the boat in the Stampin Up set Nursery Necessities.  The It's a boy sentiment was printed from SU My Digital Studio.  I love the Chocolate Chip Bakers Twine!  It makes a perfect accent to the nautical theme of this card.


Thanks for stopping by and checking out my baby boy card!  I'll be back on Sunday with my 2011 Christmas Card!
