Happy New Year and welcome to my first blog post of 2013. It was wonderful to have a little break from designing over the holidays. Now it's time to get back to work. For our first
Cardz TV Stamps challenge of the year, Mary asked the Design Team to make a project with a new baby theme. This couldn't have been more perfect for me. We are going to be having a new baby join our family this year. No, not me having a baby. Too old for that. LOL We just found out at Christmas time that we will become great-grandparents this year. Our oldest granddaughter is expecting a baby. So with that in mind I created my "New Arrival" card. Since we don't know the sex of the baby yet, I made the card gender neutral. I found this adorable image of the sweet little bird ready to deliver a "special" package on the 3 Birds on Parade cartridge. My papers are from My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy 6x6 paper stack. My image is cut at 3.25". For my sentiment I cut a label from the pre-loaded images on my Cricut Imagine. The label is cut at 1.2". I used the Cardz TV Stamps Sweet Talk set for the Sweet Baby sentiment. Before I placed the elements on the card I added a piece of self-adhesive lace from Recollections to the front of the card. The elements are popped up with one layer of dimensional foam. For a finishing touch I added two peach colored bow buttons that I found in my stash. On the inside of the card I used the sentiment I Wish You Love! from the Cardz TV Stamps More Encouraging Thoughts set.
