Welcome, Lila Grace!

 

One of my favourite crafters, Jennifer McGuire, has just welcomed little Lila Grace into the world and I am joining the blog hop to help her family celebrate.  I actually made two cards and couldn't decide which to blog about so I will show you both!!  

My first one continues with the theme of pocket cards that is the PTI Make it Monday this week.  I stamped the hexagon background in vintage cream ink on the card base on both sides and then impressed it with the linen impression plate.  I learned from my last card to impress the card stock before making it into a pocket!

Then I cut out a fillable frame window and fit the hawaiian shores panel inside after adhering the sides with some snail adhesive.  I stamped the frame from one of the Fillable Frames and then the sentiment from the anniversary set Round and Round.  I impressed the inner panel with the canvas side of the impression plate for something a little different.  Then, some corner rounding and voilà!

Then I decided that it needed a matching envelope so I decorated an envelope with some Heidi Grace baby stamps:

So, for my second card, I knew I wanted to finally use washi tape on a card.  I made it look like the binding and scored the back card stock panel so it can open.  I used two brads to attach with some snail adhesive between the two layers.

I stamped the Mat Stack frame from Modern Wood Mats and then layered one of the sweet sentiments from the set.  Hard to see but I used the flourishes on the sides in lavender ink.  Some corner rounding and the card was finished.

Jennifer, I wish you and your family every happiness as you enjoy this precious time with your new little cutie pie! <3
