It's a Boy!

Whenever friends have babies, I either make a name frame, or a personalized baby card that they could frame if they choose to. Here's my latest using those fun Cool Caribbean long notes.
Details: Long Notes (Cool Carribean), Brilliant Blue, Certainly Celery & Whisper White cardstock; So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise, and Brilliant Blue ink; Whimsical Alpha upper & Polka Dots and Paisley stamp sets; white gel pen; silver cording. Also, I like to use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the letters so they don't fall off.

Cool Carribean

My NEW favorite color is Cool Carribean. I love how elegant it looks paired with Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla. This card uses those three basic colors. Using the "long pocket notes" available in the Spring Mini, I created a simple, yet elegant sympathy card.

Details: In order to get the chocolate chip ribbon through the card near the fold, I used the rectangle punch. The oval is from one of the Accents and Elements tin -- a must have for making quick cards since they're self-adhesive. The background is the paisley stamp from Polka Dots and Paisley (Spring Mini), embossed in vanilla.

PS I'll be working on my scans to make them more clear in the future.
