I got a new Stampin Up! order today so from now until the weekend when I make my brother's wedding invitations, I will be having lots of fun.

Paper: Creamy Caramel, Sage Shadow, Ruby Red, Whisper White
Ink: Creamy Caramel
Stamps: Trendy Trees, On Your Birthday

I've been wanting to make a baby card for some time now and I finally have some stamp sets that fit the bill.

Here is the recipe for this rich coloured baby card:
Card Base: 5 1/2" X 8.5" (folded in half to 5 1/2" X 4.25") Certainly Celery
Layer 1: 5 1/4" X 4" Ruby Red
Layer 2: 4 1/2" X 2 1/2" Certainly Celery
Layer 3: 4 1/4" X 2 1/4" Ruby Red Designer Series Paper
Layer 4: 4 1/2" X 2" Certainly Celery
Layer 5: 4 1/4" X 1.75" Certainly Celery Designer Series Paper
Layer 6: 3 1/2" X 2 1/2" Certainly Celery
Layer 7: 3 1/4" X 2 1/4" Whisper White stamped with Bearing Gifts in basic gray (with the to: and from: whiped out before stamping) and teeny tiny wishes in Ruby Red. I attached layer 6 to layer 5 with some Stampin Up! dimensionals. The bear and gifts are coloured in with Stampin UP! markers

I didn't have any Ruby Red or Old Olive Ribbon, so I improvised on this card, using white ribbon with a Ruby Red tone on tone background.

To Make This Card I Used:

Paper: Whisper White (SU), Ruby Red (SU), Old Olive (SU)
Ink: Ruby Red (SU), Old Olive (SU)
Stamps: Full Of Life (SU), Itty Bitty Buds (SU)
Accessories: White ribbon
