Baby, Baby!

Going through my card stash, I realize that the cards I make the least of are baby cards! Why? I have no idea but I just never think of them! SO when I got my PTI happy mail and pulled out the new little background set...(name escaping me right now)...I had to make a quilt, which turned into a quilted elephant...which turned into 2 baby cards! Here they are...

I so love this background set! And the little zig zags are from the new button set! Tooo many fun things this time from the February PTI release!

And then I had to make a coordinating card with the little quilted elephant and matching doily!  I don't know if you can see it, but his ear is popped up!  I glued the top party down and then put foam tape under the bottom of his ear for dimension!  The only thing I forgot to do this time, was go around the edges of the elephant with a brown marker!  I always do this for a more finished look...didn't even know I forgot till I got the pictures uploaded!  :(

I bet after playing with my new stuff I am going to have a stack of baby cards here pretty quick!

    Love these cards Laurie!
    I never seem to have baby cards in my stash, and instead ned up rushing to make one as soon as baby arrives! I should always be sure to have at least one blue one and a pink one at the ready ;)
    Thanks for your inspiration

    These are so sweet. I love the simplicity of them, and that elephant is so sweet. For me, it's birthday cards that I never seem to have...lol.

    Wonderful cards! I rarely make baby cards either. I don't even own a PTI baby stamp set. I need to make them for several friends, so thanks for the awesome inspiration!

    These are so-o-o lovely. The backgrounds are just perfect for baby cards. Love your attention to detail - the zig-zag stitched lines, the little buttons, the popped up ear. Beautiful!

    Don't know why I never became a follower of yours before, but I just spent the best hour going back through months of your posts. You really do make the most beautiful, creative, yet CAS cards. I honestly saved at least ten of them that I want to re-create. You are so talented. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

    Oh you luck girl, I gave up on my PTI order. They were having issues around midnight when I tried to order and of course everything was sold out by morning. I do love what you have done with the new stuff. Darling cards.
    did you get my message a couple weeks about that I had received the package you mailed?? LOVE the stamps and the the card you sent was so unexpected and appreciated. Thank you

    OMG Laurie! It's taken me so long to write a comment because I'm having a hard time finding the words to describe these cards!! FABB-O!! The patchwork is amazing and now you have made me put this set at the top of my list!! I just adore the first one especially with the brown mat peeking out and that genius idea to make the elephant quilted on the second one!!

    Goodness! I adore these sweet cards! I thought for sure the zigzag lines were real stitching until I read your post. LOL! And the IP on the second is PERFECT for a baby card.
    Love your quilted stamped paper too. You are so talented girl!
