Baby Girl Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Card

Created this Baby card using Baby Steps Cricut cartridge and a sketch for 2 Sisters Challenge.

Used DCWV cardstock including Nana's Nursery baby Girl & summer cardstock stack for all the layers on outside & inside. Cut the MoonBaby1 at 2" & Rounded Stars 1 3/4" real dial size. Embossed the Cloud & Moon with Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl embossing folder. Added pink glitter to the Baby's bow.  Hand calligraphy of 'twinkle, twinkle, little star ' on larger star. Added glitter to the large star edge & to the entire ares of the small stars.

Decorated the inside of card using same DCWV pink cardstock, Nana's Nursery Baby Girl cardstock, 2 stars & a Spellbinder die banner. Stamped sentiment on the banner. My TIP is: Finishing the inside of the card makes for a much prettier card.

Photographed the card with my pink crocheted blanket. The blanket is the first ever blanket I crocheted in the 1970s & still have. When I first learned to crochet I learned the granny square pattern and did not want to make squares & have to join so I kept going around & around. The blanket fits over our queen size bed. It has held up wonderfully over the years.

Inside of card:
 

calligraphy: hand calligraphy of twinkle, twinkle, little star with a black calligraphy marker
Cricut cartridge: 
Baby Steps 2" MoonBaby1 & 1 3/4" Rounded Stars 
embossing: D'vine Swirl embossing folder

Happy Boat Day Birthday Card for a Male

Created this Happy Boat Day Birthday Card using the same brass embossing template I used for the Palm Tree ATC. Colored the Palm Trees & scenery using Quick Quotes Chalking Ink. Distressed the edges using Tim Holtz Distress Edger. Inked the edges with Tim Holtz ink. Used Baby Steps Cricut cartridge for Boat image to stamp "Happy Boat Day" sentiment on. Added some ribbon & a boat wheel brad. Card can be used for adult male. Decided to have the flag on the boat that I stamped the sentiment be on face to the right like it cuts instead of flipping it to point to the left even though the flags on the boats on the ribbons point to the left.
