Wow! What a crazy couple of weeks! I had a son getting surgery and a daughter having a baby, Thanksgiving was postponed until today because of the birth of a new granddaughter the day before Thanksgiving.

So here are the baby card selections from my last card buffet.

Add the 4”x5 ¼” CS in color of choice to card base.

Run the piece of Smoky Slate CS through the Big Shot in an Embossing Folder of choice. Add to base.

On the Whisper White CS stamp the elephant from Zoo Babies in color of choice.

Run  the stamped image through the Big Shot with a Circle Framelit.

Add to the corresponding CS circle.

Flag cut the ends of the DSP strips.

Stamp the phrase from Banner Greeting on a scrap of Whisper White CS in color of choice, hand cut out.

Layer the DSP behind the cut phrase and add behind layered image.

Envelope Punch Board File Folder Birthday Card

I am loving the new Envelope Punch Board. For Club this month we made File Folder Cards. This is the card that I designed for club.

This is the card that we ended up with.

• The card base is Coastal Cabana CS. The sentiment on the tab is from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp in Melon Mambo.
• Melon Mambo CS was run through the Big Shot and cut with the largest of the Apothecary Accents Framelit.
• On a piece of Whisper White CS we stamped Birthday Cake, colors are Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Smoky Slate and Daffodil Delight it was ran through the Big Shot and cut with another Apothecary Accent Framelit, we rounded the square corners with the corner rounder. We layered it onto the Melon Mambo piece and added it to the card front. Rveryone was able to choose the color of Candy Dots to embellish their card with.
• On a scrap of Whisper White CS they had a choice of stamping Wish Big from A Dozen Thoughts or the Happy Birthday from Banner Greetings. We flagged the ends and tucked it behind the image.

We had a lot of fun making these cards!
