CoCoNUT Cards

I have been making a lot of baby blue cards lately as thank-you cards for our dear little boy to come. So for a change, I was making some wedding cards and birthday cards these couple of days.

Here is a baby card for my friend. I find it hard to make a baby card without knowing the gender of the baby (especially when I don't have a lot of nice yellow paper). Believe it or not, this simple simple baby card took me 2 hours to make (design and assemble). On the right is a birthday card for a little girl. I used my friend's circle cutter to crop out the circle. :) It provides such a nice clean cut which gives my card a more polished look.

Rarely do I use a cartoon character to create my cards. But for a special little girl, I can't think of any better than creating a girly hello kitty card. I love these little girl's cards. I just love all the pink and purple colours, and floral and glittery embellishments. :)

With our baby expecting to arrive in the next month and a half, we started receiving presents from friends. What's more personal than making my own cards to show our appreciation to these friends. :)


I went to Michaels hoping to use my 50% coupon, but of course, I ended up buying a lot more stuff. :) First I saw these cute baby ribbons and charms. Then I saw these white square blank cards (8 for $1.50!). I seem to like to work with square cards more, especially ones that are not too big. I will go back to Michaels to grab more of these blank square cards. I am going to have fun making more Thank You cards the next couple of weeks.

October / November must be the baby season, so many friends and coworkers just welcomed their little ones. I made 2 baby cards for my friends. One of them is also a card maker, so I was even more cautious with picking out the paper coordination. I followed the Super Sunday Sketch for this card. Hope she will like it!


The second one took less time. I had this lady bug for a baby scrapbooking element set. It looked a bit plain so I added several crystals embellishments on it. The little extra touch definitely brightened up the card!
