Hi friends,

As you all know our current challenge "ANYTHING GOES" is up on Expressions craft blog, I have come up with a simple but sweet inspiration. It is money envelops for new born babies.

Its a tradition here to gift money at several occasions,  we always need fancy envelops to keep it.

Today I will show you how to create a beautiful money envelop for a new born baby using  some lovely "Round sentiment chippie embellishments" from Expressions craft and "Shopping for my baby" stamp set.

First lets see what I have created.....

I have made two money envelops one for baby boy (blue) and one for baby girl (pink)...

Few more pics.....

Now few step how to make these...

* First I took a plane off white card stock measuring 8" by 7".

* Scored the card stock as shown in my rough figure for your reference.

*Cut the extra and fold the card stock as shown.

*I used few stamps from "shopping for my baby" stamp set to make the plane paper look like a patterned paper.Stamped the images with archival ink.

* Now took the chippie embellishments and coloured them with chalk paints.

*I have cut decorative borders or u can also take some lace to decorate the envelop.

*I have also used a twine to fasten the flap and some handmade flowers and leaves for envelop cover.

*I added some sequins and hearts to make it look pretty..

* Lastly fold the last flap and stick to make a pocket for the money, as its clear in the pics.

Welcome card for a baby girl

Hi friends,

I am back with my DT post with cuteness overloaded.

It's a card to welcome a new born baby girl. 

As we all know that colour for a cute little baby girl is aways pink, so my today's card is all pinkie pinkie. I have used Expresssionscraft stamps "Shopping for my baby" stamp set to make this card.

First have a look at my card.....

Lets now learn how I made this card.

Firstly I selected all the stamps I wanted to use in my card.

I stamped n coloured them with my Zig marker pens and gel pen.

After colouring the images fussy cut them and kept them aside. Took a white water colour paper for the base card of size 4.25" by 5.5". Made the clouds using stencil and distress inks. I also made the grass with a die cut.After the background was ready, I made a cute baby laundry line with all the images I had coloured, adhered them using two way tapes to give them a raised look. I also used a pink twine to make the laundry wire. Placed the baby horse toy image on the grass.

Thus I finished my card with a welcome sentiment from my stash and "Baby!" and "It's a girl" sentiments from the same stamp set from Expressions craft

Few more close ups of my card.

I finally Adhered my card base on a blue card stock of a slightly bigger size n then finished off with a front opening pink card base.

Hope u all loved to read my post and loved my card too.

Layout for a Baby Boy

Hello dear friends,

Today on this Expressions Craft blog I am sharing a cute n lovely layout for baby boy pictures.

It was Women's  Day on 8th March. A women is always a loving mother at heart and she never wants to forget her little ones baby days. In today's project I am making this layout for little baby boy pictures to cherish the memories forever.

When I received all the stamps from Expressions craft , I was sure I may use all of them in my single project. As all these stamps complement each other. The three stamp sets I have used are "Hot air Balloons", "Shopping for my baby" and "Oh my Baby". I have also used Wooden rectangular decorative frames from Experssions too.

I am going to share pictures  as well as a video to show how I made this lovely layout.

Yes, a video too. I am equally exited to share this with u all.

I would like to share some pictures first, and then a video with explanation.

Few close ups too.....

Guys, hope u all like this cute layout. It is truly easy to make this using "Expressions craft

 stamps" and "Wooden rectangular decorative frames".

I will show u how.

First I will show u few basic things to prepare for the layout. U will need a 12" by 12" pattern paper for the base. To make it sturdy u can stick it on a chipboard. It is optional. I took all the stamps which I wanted to include in my layout. Stamped the images using Archieval jet black ink on a smooth water colour paper. The results were too crisp and fine. I was too happy with the results.Coloured all the images with water colour. Took both the wooden frames and coloured them using sky blue chalk paints. Took some pattern paper and cut it into few stripes for decoration. Made Rossetti's out of paper too. I have also used few  stars and a "baby" die cut .And off course the pictures of baby. Cut the pictures accordingly to fit properly inside the frames.

It was too easy to assemble all the images and pictures to make this beautiful layout.

Lets see how, in this video.

     

Friends, Hope u all will be able to try this simple and beautiful layout using Expressions craft stamp sets and Wooden rectangular decorative frames.
