Baby, Baby.

 Hello everyone: As always, I hope you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

***************************************************************

It's been a while since I made a baby card, no one that I know is having babies any time soon but who knows, my daughters have co-workers and they have grandchildren who might have a sweet announcement in the future, so I want to be ready, the SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge for the next 10 days is "Power of Pastels", so this gave me the best reason to dust off these sweet and adorable and ohh!! so vintage sets.

This is the inside.

And this is what I used.

Flourishes "Hello Baby" (2012)

Flourishes "Baby Love" (2013)

I hope you come and play along with us over at SHOPPING OUR STASH

where my fabulous teammates have beautiful cards to inspire you.

Thank you so much for your visit and for your comments, they always make my day.

Please take care and stay healthy and safe.

Maria.

Baby, Baby for Retro Rubber.....

Hello crafty friends: My teammates and I at the RETRO RUBBER challenge blog, have a fun and fabulous new challenge for you, one that is always a favorite because of the many possibilities to play with. I hope you have some time to join us in the gallery, although I know how hard it can be to have some "alone time", with the children and grandchildren out on Summer Break, I tell you this because our own grandchildren are on vacation and you know what that means, right? 😊😉

 For my card, I chose the middle horizontal line on the Tic Tac Toe diagram, "Embossing, Pattern Paper and Baby".  The sweet images are from a long discontinued Flourishes set called "Hello Baby" that dates back to 2012, the Teddy Bear and Ducky are from another beloved set called "Baby Love", this set dates from 2009.

I stamped the Onsie and the Baby Booties on watercolor paper and colored them with "Coastal Cabana", I added a couple of yellow brads for the booties buttons.

I cut a piece of Lili of the Valley pattern paper (discontinued) and a piece of Vellum the same size, I embossed the Vellum with a retired SU embossing folder called "Filigree Frame" and stamped the Teddy and the Ducky with Stazon black ink and colored them on the back with SU markers.

The sentiment is from the "Baby Love" set.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The sentiment and the Baby Rattle are from the "Baby Love" set.

I hope you can find some time to come and play along with us at RETRO RUBBER, we can't wait to see what you create.  Please stop by the blog to check out my teammates' beautiful creations.

Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate them more than words can express.

Until next time, happy stamping.

Hugs from Maria.
