annoncement cards

This is a layout I made that I featured the annoncement cards for Marleys birth. The cardstock is stampin up and the pattern paper is designer series paper by stampin up as well. I added a few brads and some fiber ... I forget all the colours used in the card but I used a blender pen and ink pads and coloured each one. It was alot of work but totally worth it.

Its Nurses week this week and it got me thinking about the 97 days our Daughter Marley spent in the NICU... There are some wonderful nurses there and Marley had the most wonderful Primary Nurse named Maggie. Maggie is very special to our family and we got to know her well. We will be thinking of her this week and I made a special card to spend to her just to remind her about how thankful our family is to have met her.

To make this gift card please Visit Melissa Rawlins blog spot. She has a wonderful video she did that explains how to cut your card to make it hold a gift card.

Baby Card:
Well my sister in law is due to give birth any day now so I thought I better get cracking on making her a card to congradulate her when the baby is born. So here is the card I created this morning.

I used All Stampin up Supplies

Started out with Blush Blosom cardstock
I used the Pretty petals stamp set. I used my stampin right markers and coloured the stamp with Pixie pink, Always artichoke and Orchid opulence markers.
I then used stazon on ink in jet black to stamp my "let the cute begin" stamp. This stamp was from my big on spring stamp set. I then used my stamp write markers again to colour in the stamp set. I stamped the image twice and cute out the sleeper and used a stampin dimentional to pop it up. I then added pretty in pink ribbon and always artichoke ribbon to finish the card off.

Hope you enjoy this card.

I used Chocolate Chip and Purely Pomagrante Satin ribbon from stampin up.
I used flowers from a local scrapping store and I held those in place with a stampin up Rhinestone brad.. I just love the touch of BLING a rhinestone brad can add.
I used Chipboard letters and paint to white the words "Notes" on the boxes
