Father And Daughter

Good Morning!
Back again on the Tutti Designs Blog.
 

 

This card was made with love, truly.  I have created it for my favorite son in law, Tim! 

(yes, you guessed it, I do only have one....but he is still my very most favorite!) 

My daughter, Lori, and her husband, Tim, just became first time parents

 to a beautiful little girl, Penelope Joy, on October 17th. 

When I saw this fabulous die in the Tutti Designs Store, I knew I had to have it!

 

Now, on with the show!

 

 

 

This card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and I will make a matching envelope for mailing.  I used this beautiful Father And Daughter die from the May 2017 Release.   I die cut it twice from Black card stock, layering the 2 together.  This gives the die a little bit more oomph for depth and dimension.

 

 

I displayed my die cuts and sentiment on hand cut panels and at a wonky angle.  I feel this gives the card a bit more interest too.  Adding a few accents using Sheer Ribbon and all manners of Adhesive Rhinestones.

 

 

 



 

 

 

I know this is a vision of what's to come.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beneath the sentiment stamped in Raven Black ink,  I also stamped many little hearts in Pink Pirouette ink.  Gina K Designs stamp sets; Hand In Hand and Mommy To Be Diva.

A labor of love.

 

 

 

Here's what I used:

1st Father's Day

Hello!

Super cute card to share with you today!  This will be entered into the Challenges at; Simon Says Monday, Masculine, Simon Says Wednesday, Masculine, Stamping Sensations, Favorite Stamp, and Penny Black, Anything Goes!

 

 

I made this for my Son In Law, Tim, as he will become a 1st time father later this year!  EEK!  I had this great Argyle Designer Paper in my stash, bought with him in mind.  He loves a cardigan sweater so I thought this would be the most perfect design!  I added some texture to the background using a Sizzix Embossing Folder.  Hand cut a pocket and lined up the pattern.  Added more texture with my Crimper for the neckline and waist band.  A couple of buttons for accent.

 

 

 

 

 

My favorite stamps.....Happy Father's Day!!!  Stamp sets:  Gina K Designs; Mommy To Be Diva and Simple Numbers.  Papertrey Ink stamp set, Tag--Its 2.  Inks in Raven Black and Soft Sky. 

 

I think this coming week the kids will announce the gender of the baby!  I am soooooo excited!!!  Of course, all the Grandparents know, but again have been sworn to secrecy!  Stay Tuned!!!

 

Thanks for strolling by!

 

Enjoy~~



1st Mother's Day

Good Afternoon!

First off I have to share some wonderful news with you all!  I am going to be a Nana come November.  Our daughter Lori and our son in law Tim are expecting their first child!  We are over the moon happy, to say the least!  I have had to keep this secret for over 5 weeks, I think it has been the hardest thing I have ever done lol  Friends and neighbors kept sharing news of all of the new babies that would be joining their families and I couldn't say one word, I just smiled and gushed about their joyous news.  Well now I have some of our very own!  I can't wait!

We had a 'photo shoot at their favorite Vineyard over the weekend as they were eager to announce to the world.  Here are a few of their fun photos!

 

 

Tim and Lori holding the 'clothesline' complete with little booties (that's how they told us) a onesie with, my sibling has paws (which I made) and my grandbaby's 1st ultrasound photo.

 

 

 

 

 

A glass of red, a bottle of white, and a glass of Baby Gherkins lol  We also had their engagement photos taken here and in September of 2015 they were married here.  I am thinking in 18+ years perhaps we will have a Graduation Party here.   

 

 

 

 

 

Top left; if you look real close you can see my Grand Fur Baby Hank under the A and B

Bottom Right; Reading Hop On Pop, Are You My Mommy and Hank's book is Berenstain Bears, New Baby In The House. 

 

So yeah, it has been all baby all the time in our houses!

 

Okay, now on to today's card:

 

 

 

I actually started this card with water color paper and proceeded to paint on some beautiful pastel colors.  I also spritzed it with Heidi Swapp Color Mist in Gold.  I don't know why I didn't take a picture of it before assembling.  I think you can still see enough of the pretty colors.  

 

Many dies layered upon each other.  This was a very FUN card to make, definitely a Labor of Love!

Happy New Baby

Hello Again!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenge at Simon Says Wednesday, Make Your Own Background.

I made my background 'quilt-style'. Using 4 different Designer Papers I cut 12 squares and then adhered them all down on a piece of card stock in a pleasing pattern.  As we don't know the sex of the baby as yet, I went with the neutral color of green, seemed like a safe bet!  Sizzix Wildflower die topped with Button and Jute Twine layered on Spellbinder's Heart and Scallop Circle dies.  EK Success Tag Punch, which has been cropped and tied with Baker's Twine.  Stamp set is by Gina K Designs, Mommy To Be Diva set.  Images colored with Copic Markers. 

 

I hope to hear what they will be having soon, so I can make a pink or blue card too!  Look at that baby, super cute!!!

 

Thanks for popping in!

Baby # 2

Another day, another baby!  lol  How fun for all the new Mommies and new Nanas.....

Today's card will be entered into 2 Challenges;

Poppy Sketch With A Pop Of Pattern, Polka Dots.

 

And the Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes.

 

 





I used neutral colors as no one knows what this beautiful young woman is having.  SURPRISE!!!  Again I used the sentiment from Mommy To Be Diva and the cute little basket topper images are from the Basket Additions #2 set, both available at Gina K Designs.  I used the little flag die from My Favorite Things, Blue Prints #12.  Dots and Stripes Designer paper by American Crafts.  An EK Success border punch.  And using a small heart punch I glued 6 layers of card stock together to make a nice chipboard heart accent, topped with the polka dot DP.  Added a little of Canary Yellow Baker's Twine and a sparkly green gemstone.  I also added a bit of Stickles in green, yellow and pink for accents.  All in all I am quite happy with the way this very neutral baby card came out.  Hope the new Mommy to be enjoys it as well.

Thanks for coming by.....up next.....more baby cards?!?!  Tune in to find out!

The Year Of Babies

Good Afternoon!  Man oh man, what another glorious day here on Cape Cod.....keep em' coming Mother Nature......pleaseandthankyou!

Today's card will be entered into the following Challenges:

StampTV Stamp, Stamp, Stamp, to make your own background, hosted by my dear friend Sharyn Polesel.

Simon Says Monday  I Ought To Use This More, I used enamel brads and pretty pleated ribbon.

My Favorite Things, Sketch Challenge, which I rotated to the left.



Last year we had several weddings and this year there are several new babies on the way or already here.  How wonderful!!!

And here is my first baby card:



I used the small safety pin stamp from a Gina K Designs set, Mommy To Be Diva, to create my background.   This little set has such wonderful sentiments, Congratulations, Mommy To Be, and Look At You Glow, just perfect to help celebrate the new mommy!  Image colored with Copic Markers.  I added some random enamel brads, which I tend to save like "good China"  You know what I mean, right???  And of course I do hoard that fabulous ribbon....but why?  It always looks so lovely on a project.  I will TRY to use my "good China" more!  lol

I will have at least one more baby card for you this week.  But, I think there are more to be made, just have not gotten the word as yet.  :)

Hope you all have a HAPPY day!

Thanks for popping in, appreciate you doing so.

Dynamic Duos Color Challenge

Good Morning! 

First off, a VERY Happy Birthday to my big sister, Carol!!!  Hope you have a Happy, Happy Day!  Love you!!!

My daughter went to a bunch of weddings last year......so this year I think it will be the "year of the babies".  She placed an order for a Baby Shower card, a girl.....and 2 more Wedding cards.  How fun it is to make cards for special people for your special people.  Gotta love that!

Today's card is for the Dynamic Duos #65 Challenge Warm Pink and Soft Green.  A great color combo!

I used the Mommy To Be Diva stamp set from Gina K Designs.  If you have not checked out the line of Diva stamps, I would encourage you to do so.  She is fun.....she is fabulous......and she does it all!  Gardens, rides a scooter, she does yoga, has been to Hawaii and even got married.....hence the Mommy To Be stamp. 

Found this great lacy ribbon in my stash. 

 

 

Other supplies used:  Adhesive Pearls colored with Copic Markers, Copic Markers, Ribbon Flowers, Heart Shaped Button, Baker's Twine, Punched Hearts, Spellbinders; Classic Ovals, Beaded Ovals, Tag Paper Punch (which I cropped).
