Special Delivery Twins Card Peachy Keen Challenge

Hi everyone.  I made this card for my husband to take to his work for one of the ladies at his school who is expecting a set of twins.  For this card, I cut the paper dolls at 3.25.  I used the Peachy Keen Wide-Eyed Kids assortment for their faces.  Paper is Stampin' Up and DCWV (blue).  I used the swiss dot cuttlebug embossing folder and the ribbon is from SU as well.  Special Delivery tag is cut from Once Upon a Princess and is also stamped with an SU stamp which was a hostess set.  I used faux stitching with SU markers and added a couple of pearls for just a little something special. 

 

To make the paper doll baby, I cut the blackout image at 3.25", then trimmed off the hands and feet so they didn't stick out from behind the clothes.  I couldn't find a baby in either paper doll cartridge, so I improvised.  I think it turned out pretty cute this way.  I finished the inside off with a swiss dotted strip of paper in the same green as on the front.  I'm having trouble with the photo upload for it.  Hope you like it.

Praying For You Tree

This card was made using SU stamp set Thoughts and Prayers and SU paper.  I inked the stamp using my markers in chocolate chip and pear pizzaz on very vanilla cardstock cut at 5" x 3 3/4".  I then ran it through the texture boutique using Square Lattice folder exclusive to SU.  Sentiment is also from the same set and is stamped in chocolate chip on very vanilla cardstock and mounted over a piece of chocolate chip ribbon across the corner.  I used Ashlyn's Alphabet for the oval tag.  I altered the image with my gypsy (as the center on the original design is cut out) using the hide contour feature.  I also resized it to cut at 1.25 x 2".  Very vanilla is mounted on printed paper from Delicote Dots DSP cut at 5 1/4 x 4" and mounted on an A2 card made from very vanilla. 

A small strip of paper cut at 5 1/4" by 1" added to the inside finishes of the card.  Hope you like it.

Valentine bag toppers

I had so much fun this weekend preparing for Valentine's Day.  Here I made some candy bag toppers.  The bag topper is cut from a 4 x 4 inch piece of red cardstock which is folded in half.  I then added a 1 1/2"  x 4 "piece of pretty in pink printed paper with a strip of ribbon 3" long taped on the right side.  The ribbon is from Michael's.  The heart is cut from Simply Charmed  (page 30 in the handbook--I used the shift base and shift layer 2 feature) at 1 3/4".  Face stamp is from Sizzix.  A little chalk for the cheeks, white gel pen for the eyes and faux stitching.  Happy Valentine's Stamp is from SU's Teeny Tiny Wishes set.

This candy bar wrapper is cut from SUs pink piroutte cardstock at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4" .  I scored at 1 1/2, 1 3/4, 3 7/8 and 4 1/8 in order to make it wrap nicely.  Pattern paper is again from SU pretty in pink patterned paper cut at 1 /2 x 5 1/4".  I did make some other wrappers in which I used Core'dinations Scarlet Pearls cardstock.   Stamp is from SU For the Love of Chocolate.  These are made to fit a regular sized Hershey chocolate bar.

Hope these inspire you to make some lovely gifts for the Valentines in your life.
