Baby Card with color blocking

This weekend I attended the quarterly business luncheon meeting of the New Stampshires, a Stampin' Up! group under Kristi Stoughton.  We talked, discussed the new career plan, swapped, did a make and take, and of course ate.  This was one of the cards someone shared.  I am sorry I cannot give credit to her.  I thought it was well done.

Onesie

My daughter asked me to make her a baby card for a shower this Saturday.  I have made several but have not been pleased at all.  She got one of those towels that are hooded in a cat motif as a gift. I decided to make a onesie and add a little kitty.  It still looked pretty plain so I took it apart, put it in a Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and put it through my Big Shot.  It helped.  I hope she likes it.

Supplies:

Card Stock- Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
Ink- Stazon Black, Pink Pirouette
Stamp set- unknown incentive stamp

Fast and Easy

When I need a fast and easy card, I immediately think of this one!  I have made it in numerous color combinations and changed out the greeting.

Supplies:
Stamp Sets- Sincere Salutations, Flight of the Butterfly
Card Stock- Regal Rose, Rose Red, Shimmery White
Ink- Rose red
Accessories- Elegant Bouquet embossing folder, Stampin' Dimentionals

Just Buzzin' By

When I first saw this stamp set, I just had to have it.  I made a few cards but nothing special.  Then I thought of this layout.  I made this for an organized swap for Stampin' Up!'s Convention last summer.  A friend and I cut out over 90 individual bees for it.  I used watercolor paper and Watercolor Pencils with a blender pen.  I am not always pleased with my cards, however, this is one of my all time favorites.        

Simple Friendship II

Another CASED (Copy and Steal/Share Everything) card.  This one is from Splitcoast Stamper member  brandycox.
I changed the card size and did not stamp the background as much.  This was a quick and easy card that shows how versatile this stamp set is.

Supplies:
Stamp Set- Simple Friendship
Card Stock- Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Ink- Marina Mist, Crumb Cake
Accessories- Jewels Basic Rhinestones, Stampin' Dimensionals

Simple Friendship

I needed some inspiration using this stamp set and turned to Splitcoast Stampers. I found a lovely card by  Ocicat aka Donna Heber .  I tweaked it a bit and Voila!  Here it is.  I think we will make this Saturday (weather permitting) with my Newport Ladies.  I sponged River Rock to age the card then used the Color Spritzer Tool with a Chocolate Chip marker.  I then layered the butterfly and three flowers adhering them with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Supplies:
Stamp Sets- Simple Friendship, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Card Stock- Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla, River Rock
Ink- Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink
Accessories- Jewels, sponges, Color Spritzer Tool, Chocolate Chip marker

Peace Within II

I am trying to use a stamp set more than a few times to really get my money's worth.  Again, I stamped this last summer and colored the image with Watercolor Pencils then used a blender pen.  I think of all the coloring choices, I like these pencils the best.  I am even on my second set!

Supplies:
