Well it’s June and the card themes for June are usually, graduation, Dad’s and babies.  I made a couple of baby crib cards since my niece is expecting.  So excited for her!

I made a yellow one and purple one but I could make it any color to fit any color of room.

You could add welcome baby on the front and put your personal message on the back.

My daughter wanted a nice spring type of birthday card for a friend, so of course; I just had to make her a couple of them.

This first card is just a cutout of flowers.  I love how delicate it is and you could add some ink to change it up a bit or add a colored background paper to make it pop.

For my next card I used one of the thinlits from Stamp Up on a gatefolded card.  I used the shimmer white paper for the die cut and added some pearls under the sentiment.

I have always loved peacocks and when my parent’s had their farm they had around twenty at one time or another.  A friend of mine had this stamp set where you can layer the stamps on a peacock.  I was able to make it into a pin for her.  I added a few rhinestones on the tips of the feathers to give them a little bling.

I also had to make a peacock card.  This was all experimental and still a work in progress.  I first embossed a peacock on card stock and then applied glue to the raised areas.  After I let the glue dry, which it stayed tacky, I applied gold foil to the tops of the raised areas.  I then used watercolors and colored in the lower areas of the feathers with blues and greens.
