Happy Happenings... Bonjour Beautiful Baby

Hello...Bonjour, one of the few French words I understand! I shared a cute baby card last week with some oh-so-adorable kitties on it called, Made with Love is Purrrfect for Baby. I mentioned that I made a few baby themed cards... well, here's another one. This time it's for a baby girl. Now, I'm not one to use "pink"... but... I've been trying VERY hard to incorporate it more into my projects. Not everything can be orange, green, turquoise and yellow (well, maybe)... but not today. 

It's funny how we gravitate towards certain colours. I pretty much stick to neutrals and brights for my colours, but for this card it was all about the Subtles. Sadly, one of my least used colour families. Well, except Calypso Coral, Pool Party and Soft Sky... those colours get used quite often. But, all the colours are lovely, so for this card I used Wisteria Wonder, So Saffron and Blushing Bride with a Very Vanilla card base. These colours scream "BABY" to me. I did add a bit of Mint Macaron for the lace trim, another soft colour from the 2016-2018 In Colour Collection. The cute little onesie was stamped with {Made with Love} and die cut with {Baby's First Framelits Dies}. I used a sheet from the {Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack}, one with cute little hearts on it. then, I added a few {It's My Party Enamel Dots} to decorate my card a bit, well cause' I'm a bit obsessed with them! I guess a lot of others are too since they are on back order. One neutral themed card done, one girly themed card done, a boy themed card next perhaps?! I hope you like it, au revoir (until we see each other again). 

Merci pour arrêter par, estamillage heureux!

Thanks for stopping by, happy stamping!

YOU + ME = HAPPY - Occasions Catalogue starts today!

Today is the day, the start of a brand new catalogue! The new Sale-a-bration brochure also starts today and it's full of awesome new products that you can earn for FREE! For every $60 (Canadian), you can choose any ONE item you want. It's the biggest sale of the year in Stampin' Up! land. For my share today, I used the brand new Project Life stamp set {Memories in the Making}. I was immediately drawn to the loopy circle image - I'm not sure what else to call it, but I love it. 

I went with a bright colour, Cucumber Crush for my main colour with some hints of Basic Black and gold embossing, thread and glimmer paper for some added shine! 

The stamp sets are definitely not only for Project Life albums, although they are designed to perfectly coordinate. The sentiments and other images are great for cards and home decor like this card. 

I embossed the Basic Black layer with the {Happy Hearts Textured Impressions Embossing Folder} and distressed the edges with my paper snips and tore it up a bit to distress it even further. And, one of my favourite products is the Handheld Stapler (it's not new, it's available in the Annual Catalogue). It grunged it up a bit more. 

The two new catalogue's are available now. The Occasions is good through May 31, 2016 and the Sale-a-bration products are available until March 31, 2016. However, there are some Limited Time products available until February 15, and new ones starting on February 16.
