I have a trio of baby cards today, all for this week's CAS-ual Friday's CFC56: Sweet Spot challenge. I was inspired by this card by Jenny--I just loved her idea of using the negative of those PTI alphabet dies. Although there are no babies in sight anywhere in my life, I am now prepared for any sort of baby that might come along--girl, boy, or unknown.
For the baby boy: Patterned paper from Echo Park Splash, polka dots from the PTI polka dot IP--large side (I just realized they are impossible to see, but trust me, they are there), sentiment from Whale Wishes:
For the surprise: Plaid paper made with Off Beat Backgrounds by Waltzingmouse in Aqua Mist and Lemon Tart, sentiment from PTI Piece of Cake, polka dots from the PTI polka dot IP--small side.
Here they are, all together:
Thanks for Visiting
SO cute! I love the use of negative space, will have to try this.

ReplyDeleteJoyce all of your cards are fantastic. I love that design and I am fully going to CASE that one! The negative space is such a terrific idea and it works so well with this design. I need speed skates to keep up with you these days. ;)

ReplyDeleteGreat CAS cards, Joyce! My favorite is the third one - awesome stamping! i thought it was patterned paper!
ReplyDeleteThese are so CAS - love the graphic style and the cut out letters. So sweet the different papers you used for each. I'm going with the pastel plaid - so happy looking and soft like a nursery blanket!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful set of baby cards! Love the embossing on the last green and yellow card. All are adorable.
ReplyDeleteWow! Joyce, all three cards are adorable. Isn't this layout such a versatile one? You can use whatever design you want in there.
