Cards for growing families!

I am so behind posting some of my card creations from this year! I have some posts scheduled for while I'm gone so hopefully I can at least start to catch up. Here are some cards I made a few months ago - there are lots of weddings and new babies this year so be watching for more in this category!

I made this card for my cousin who had a baby girl this spring. I used a fun tip that I had heard before but never tried - I wanted to pop dot the flower Stickease, so to make the back not sticky, I just rubbed it with some baby powder - works like a charm! Plus it gave the card a fresh baby scent ;-) I used Life Delights paper and Stickease and the sentiment came from the Random Thoughts stamp set.

Here is a card I made for a friend who got married this spring - this one was inspired by Tiffany Cheney - you can see her inspiration cards here. I don't think you can see it very well in the picture, but I used the tiniest clear Sparkles for the bride's earings. I used the Magic Moments paper pack and Family Ties stamp set.

I used this sketch from Mojo Monday

These are both so great Jena. Great tip on the stickease and I love the bling for the girl's earrings.

Both cards are adorable! Love the designs! I'm going to try the baby powder trick. So far, I've been rubbing the Stickease on my terry cloth robe, and the fibers take away the stickiness. Blessings!
