Baby Blessing Card for Taylored Expressions Blog Hop – My Crafts are Like a Box of Chocolates Skip to content My Crafts are Like a Box of Chocolates You Never Know What I’m Going to Make! Menu Uncategorized Baby Blessing Card for Taylored Expressions Blog Hop August 24, 2010 beccreates1 10:55 I can’t believe I am down to the wire with this one. I’ll add more details after this basic post is up. ETA: I had so much fun creating this card, I say that a lot don’t I? I guess that is simply because I enjoy my craft so much!! LOL!! I actually created one very similar but boy-themed card for www.Swap-Bot.com that I loved and as it was part of a swap, I mailed it away. Sadly, I was silly enough to mail it WITHOUT taking a picture first! Seriously??? And I also made a really cute tag to go along with it. {{SIGH}} I dyed the seam binding ribbon myself using SU! reinkers, blush blossom and pretty in pink. I hand cut the grass fringe after cutting the CS’s edge with a scalloped paper punch. I used my Copic Airbrush system to create the background using Eclipse tape masks with the cloud dies from PTI. I don’t usually take photos during the day so my photo box set up never works in the day time. It isn’t too bad with editing but the bear and the kraft CS aren’t quite so orangey IRL. The button isn’t supposed to be tipped up, but as I literally finished it, threw it in the photo box and photographed it 5 minutes before the posting deadline, I hadn’t noticed to fix it! I also just noticed that one of the clothespins on the diaper cover snuck behind the ‘clothesline’. I’ll have to glue those in place I guess. The onesie, bear’s tummy and the frilly diaper cover are all paper pieced with touches of Copic for detail and shading. If you notice, the DP’s flower is right in the middle of the image. Not an accident! I used sharp tipped, non-stick scissors to cut away the rubber from the center of the stamp so I could see the paper through it. Thanks for hopping by. If you just stumbled upon this blog hop, do start back at the beginning and check out all the links. This is a customer blog hop so you get to see creations by all of us who didn’t make the design team! Just kidding; I didn’t apply! But I am certainly will next time! Seriously, it is for all of those of us who love TE to get a chance to show off our work using their stamps. If you liked my project, I hope you will subscribe by email or RSS feed.

I love crafts, creating art, sewing, needlework, making jewelry, reading, watching movies and snuggling with my fat tabby cat, Jesse. My boys are all on the autism spectrum so it’s a chaotic but fun life. I live in a small town north-east of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It’s in the middle of corn fields and horse farms while still feeling like a suburb.

Sometimes I just grab random supplies that are not even close to seasonal. I used @primamarketinginc papers and @tim_holtz Foundry Wax. #Cardmaker #makingcards #handmadewithlove #cardmakingismysuperpower #craftingismysuperpower #craftingsuperpower #cardmakingsuperpower #handmadeart #handmadeisbest #madewithlove #madebyhand #art #artwork #cardsforsale #handmadecard #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #handmadeisbetter #artisttradingcard #artisttradingcards #a3atcswapgroup #artisttradingcardartist #tradingcardartist Once I get started on fall projects I start to remember all the fun stuff I’ve purchased to make fall more fun! This @concordand9th background was leftover from last year; I wisely tucked it in with some other fall stuff so I’d notice it this year! I turned it into an ATC with some more C&9 dies! #Cardmaker #makingcards #handmadewithlove #cardmakingismysuperpower #craftingismysuperpower #craftingsuperpower #cardmakingsuperpower #handmadeart #handmadeisbest #madewithlove #madebyhand #art #artwork #cardsforsale #handmadecard #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #handmadeisbetter #artisttradingcard #artisttradingcards #a3atcswapgroup #artisttradingcardartist #tradingcardartist #fall #autumn #fallart #autumnart Hello Fall! I really don’t like fall but that’s mostly because it means winter is coming. Cold weather and my various health conditions don’t mix well at all. But I’m learning to at least like some of the colour combos for fall! I picked rose, purple, orange and yellow out of this @honeybeestamps patterned paper to add colour to a @neatandtangled journaling card. The letters are @teamspellbinders and the hello is by @pinkfreshstudio. #Cardmaker #makingcards #handmadewithlove #cardmakingismysuperpower #craftingismysuperpower #craftingsuperpower #cardmakingsuperpower #handmadeart #handmadeisbest #madewithlove #madebyhand #art #artwork #cardsforsale #handmadecard #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #handmadeisbetter #fall #hellofall #autumn #autumnvibes Do you buy card kits but never finish using the supplies? I get out my older kits once in a while to make ATCs and mini journal pages. This one is from an old @teamspellbinders kit. #Cardmaker #makingcards #handmadewithlove #cardmakingismysuperpower #craftingismysuperpower #craftingsuperpower #cardmakingsuperpower #handmadeart #handmadeisbest #madewithlove #madebyhand #art #artwork #cardsforsale #handmadecard #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #handmadeisbetter #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #mixedmediacollage #tinyart #miniartjournal #minijournal #artjournal #artjournaling #artjournalspread A lavender themed mini journal page. I drove by our local lavender farm on Monday and wow is it pretty. The lavender I used in the small frame is from that farm. #Cardmaker #makingcards #handmadewithlove #cardmakingismysuperpower #craftingismysuperpower #craftingsuperpower #cardmakingsuperpower #handmadeart #handmadeisbest #madewithlove #madebyhand #art #artwork #cardsforsale #handmadecard #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #handmadeisbetter #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #mixedmediacollage #tinyart #miniartjournal #minijournal #artjournal #artjournaling #artjournalspread Blog at WordPress.com.
