Two Baby Shower Cards For My Cousin Jenny

Here are two cards I made last for my cousin Jenny. We celebrated her Baby Shower on Saturday for her soon-to-be-here son, Jeremy.My sister-in-law Gladys asked me to make her a baby shower card so I made the first one for her. The second one (brown) is from my family. I wanted to do something different for both so I choose the scalloped easel card for Glady and the tri-shutter for me. They were a lot of fun to make and my cousin and the guests were really in awe. Jenny passed the cards around the room and everyone had a smile on their faces as they looked at them. It was a very nice feeling :)

Tri-Shutter Wedding Card Featuring Tilda And Edwin

The following card is another tri-shutter card. These are so much fun to make, even if they are lots of work! I made this one for my boss who's brother is getting married. I thought, "Yes! Perfect!! I can use my new Magnolia Wedding stamps!! Woo-hooo!!!" I love this collection! You can find the stamp I used, Loving Bridal Couple at the Magnolia-licious shop. I colored this lovely couple using my new Tim Holtz Distress Inks that I bought on ebay. I decorated the card with odds and ends I found in my wedding drawer. Some doves and ribbons that I bought from Michael's. The silver wedding bells and rings from a scrapbooking packet I bought from abcdistributing.  The DP is from the black and white alpha pack from DCWV. I love that packet. The white flowers my friend Pammy got for me from Michael's and the silver heart stickers are from a wedding pack. Finally I used my Ranger Glossy Accents which I bought at Michael's but you can also get at Amazon. Overall, this is one of my favorite cards!

Tri-Shutter Card For A Baby Girl

Okay this is my last entry for today. This is another Tri-Shutter card. I made this for my friend Jessica from high school who just had a baby. Her name's Patricia Rose and she's such a cutie! I wanted to go with the Princess and storybook theme. The DP is from DCWV's Fairytale stack. The butterflies and ballerina dress are from a 3-D sticker set I have. And the sequined stars are some embellies my mom saw at Jo-Ann's and asked me to get. At first I didn't like them but now I'm glad I bought them because they fit right in with the color scheme. Enjoy!

Tri-Shutter Card For A Baby Boy

Here's another Tri-shutter card. Now that I know how to make them they're ALL I want to make!! I will try other templates though. I want to try the Ladder template and I want to try the Round, square, and heart easel cards. After my mom saw my co-worker's card she asked me to make a tri-shutter card for her boss who just had a baby boy.  So currently I've inked up a bunch of my Magnolia stamps and am in the process of coloring them. Expect to see Maggies on my next cards!!

Tri-Shutter Sympathy Card

Here's another Sympathy card I made a few weeks ago. This one was for my co-worker who's dear mother passed away. I knew I wanted to make a nice card but I didn't want to make the same 'ole same 'ole folded card. So I looked at all the templates I had and thought this would be perfect. This is a tri-shutter card. I actually followed the directions in an issue of Cardmaker which made making this super easy. It took about 3 hours, what with the cutting and figuring out what I wanted to put on it. In the end I think it came out beautifully :) I brought it into work the next day and since my boss hadn't gotten a card yet I told her we could all sign my card so we did!
