These sweet baby cards... I fell in love with those little toes! Very cute set. Check out the full set to see all the phrases and Hand Prints too. My supply list is below.
I used the Rectangular Stitched Framelits. These are great and they mat each other so no guessing on cutting your paper the correct size. Just chose two framelits and cut.

I had another fun card challenge put before me, so I accepted. Although the theme was using Abstract Impressions, (I am in the New Occasions and Sale-a-Bration mode...), I decided to join in.
Besides a specific stamp set, my other challenge was to use the colors of Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, and So Saffron. What a great combination!
So Saffron Card Base is cut 11" x 4-1/4" then scored at 5-1/2
Granny Apple Green mat is 5-5/16" x 4-1/16"
Whisper White is 5-1/4" x 4"
Using the largest flower stamp and VersaMark ink, randomly stamp around the edges of the Whisper White. Cover VersaMark with Clear Embossing Powder (you could use White powder too), and then heat emboss.
Next, using a Sponge Dauber with Melon Mambo ink, I rubbed over the floral images. Next, take a baby wipe or slightly damp paper towel and wipe off the excess ink from the clear embossed flowers. Water-based ink does not dry well over embossing powder so you need to wipe it off.
Stamp a few leaves, a word or two.... and you have created the background of your card.
Die Cut two (2) butterflies from the Springtime Impressions Thinlits (bundled with Abstract Impressions). The bottom butterfly, I again used sponge daubers to add Melon Mambo, So Saffron and Granny Apple Green ink. Lay the plain white butterfly over top, flex their wings and add some Rhinestones.
Oh! My Strips of paper for added interest: whisper white 1/2" x 4" and So Saffron 3/4" x 4"
Hope you enjoyed! Let me know if you would like to see a video on this. Leave me a comment.

Are you in the heart of your Christmas festivities? I sure am. Did a lot of shopping this weekend and the community concert band I play in had another concert tonight. A local church was gracious to give us a rehearsal space this year as our former location went under renovation. We decided to stay at the church so we offered their congregation a free concert to say thank you. Actually, we did a summer fanfare and now Christmas. It is nice to play for a larger audience. Our mission is playing for rehab and assisted living facilities in the area and sometimes there are only 10 people listening.
Today's card features the stamp set, Stylish Christmas. I am in love with the swirls that come in the set. It is in the Annual Catalog so you will be able to get this one for at least six more months. Which I like because poinsettias can be for general winter themed cards, not just for the holidays.
Make sure to check out the following pictures to see close up details. Those swirls are embossed in silver and the mat paper is Silver Foil. We stamped the poinsettia in Pool Party on Whisper White then on a scrap piece of Whisper White. The poinsettia on scrap white was fussy cut with Stampin' Up! Paper Snips scissors (the best!) and adhered with Dimensions.
I've included a photo of the stamped inside so you have a complete card sample.
