Another Chipboard Birth-day

Remember my friend that was on bed rest??? Well, I mailed out her card on Monday. Later that afternoon, I got an e-mail that said she went to the hospital the night before and she was in labor! No wonder she was on my mind Sunday! Baby Max made his big debut later that evening. Welcome to the world Baby Max! Everyone is healthy, happy, and now resting at home.

Here is a card that I will be sending out today. The small greeting says "Twinkle, twinkle little star - darling baby, here you are!" I bought this set from this past Winter Mini for this one greeting stamp - I think its absolutely adorable! Especially when you pair it with a chipboard star.

The polka dotted patterned paper is from the Designer Series Double-Sided Patterned Paper in Certainly Celery. The striped paper was a scrap left over from last summer. (The Fall-Winter Collection offers a similar assortment featuring fall colors.) Max's name is stamped at the bottom of the card with the Bashful Blue Craft Pad. Then I embossed the letters with Clear Embossing Powder to make them stand out a little more.

I love to stamp the envelopes so they coordinate with the enclosed card. So, I stamped the front of the envelope with Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery stars. As Shelli (the High Priestess of the Kingdom of Crafts) would say, "No Naked Envelopes!"

Just a note, tomorrow I am in a wedding so I doubt that I will have a chance to get to my craft room. I should have something new for you on Sunday!
