For all three cards, I used Teresa Collins patterned paper and PTI's Tremendous Treats: Birthday stamp set.
For my first card, I used the PTI Hexagons cover plate to diecut my cardstock and patterned paper. I layered my paper-pieced elephant and balloons on a Half & Half diecut. The sentiment is selectively inked from the Simple Sentiments stamp set.
And lastly, a baby card using the same little elephant, but this time for a baby girl, layered on a couple of Limitless Layers: Oval diecuts.
I cut the "J" from a piece of My Mind's Eye patterned paper, thinking it would be a neat way to personalize the baby's card by using her first initial.
Thanks for looking!
Oh my Leigh, these are ADORABLE!! I love everything about them! I can't pick a favorite... they are all great!
ReplyDeleteLeigh, these are precious! :) I love the little elephant paper-pieced! Very cute!

ReplyDeleteI just found your blog via PTI (love PTI stuff) and am bowled over by your cute cards. Love your creativity and color combos. Certainly will keep your blog on my often-visit-site. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLeigh all just delightful cards! I need to get some baby themed stamps.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. I think the elephant may be my favorite stamp from that set!
ReplyDeleteWe have a few family members and friends who are expecting babies this summer, so I will be saving these designs for inspiration!! I especially love the patchwork look of the last one. The addition of the initial is a great way to personalize the card.
ReplyDeleteVery cute Leigh! Love the colours and love the patchwork effect on the last one!
ReplyDeleteSweet set of baby cards!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet trio of cards! The little elephant is just darling!
ReplyDeleteI love all 3 of them...they just couldn't be any cuter! Very nicely done Leigh!
ReplyDeleteThese are all as sweet as can be, but my fav is still the sewn card!

you're starting to love it as much as I do! :)
Leigh--these are all so adorable. I can't believe I have that stamp set and have done almost nothing with it. Am definitely going to case you, and all I need to do is to convince someone to have a baby now!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love each one of these! So, so cute! Love your layouts in each one, the colors/mix of patterned papers, and that darling elephant. He's another favorite of mine. And I do think the "J" is such a fun touch.
ReplyDeleteThese are just adorable. Such great ideas and inspiration here!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous cards!! Leigh, you are so good at piecing. Just like Melissa P's, it doesn't look pieced at all - it's like magic.
ReplyDeleteAwww, how sweet are these Baby card? Love they to pieces (pun intended :)
ReplyDeleteThe leftover hexagons are put to great use too.
