Babycake Baby Cards

   I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything in over a week.  Life seems to happen way too quickly.  I have been busy making card, and since I haven’t posted anything for so long, I’m giving you two cards today.  These cards are from the new paper Babycakes from Close To My Heart.  Although these cards are baby, I plan on making non-baby cards to show that the name shouldn’t stop someone from using the paper.  The first card is using a technique for the rays I found on a Stampin’ Up(Sh! Don’t tell.) demonstrator’s blog.  Her name is Dawn Olchefske at dostamping.typepad.com. 

Sorry the picture is off center.
All supplies Close To My Heart:
paper: Babycakes, Colonial White, Buttercup, and Slate cardstock
stamps: Baby Carriage and New Baby
ink: Slate
embellishments: Licorice adhesive gems
  The next card was inspired by two cards I found on pinterest.  They were originally pinned from splitcoaststampers.com.  This website is great for inspiration, tips, and techniques.  For my card, I took two cards that were similar and combined into one for my card. 

  I have to show you the back of the envelope.  I think this is my favorite envelope I have ever made.

  Isn’t the monkey hanging from the vine just the cutest thing ever?
