Yeah! My First Card!

Well, actually it's the second card that I've done on my own. And truly I'm proud of it. I made sixty of these things! Yup, you read right! Sixty!!! They're for my sisters baby shower next month. It took forever and a day, but ya know what? I found that I love doing this stuff. I used mostly Papertrey Ink Product.
First I cut out a piece of Spring Moss Cardstock that I embossed with the Swiss Dots folder through my Cuttlebug. Then, I cut out the four pieces of patterned paper called Everyday Blessings-Papertrey Ink, then I inked the edges with Tim Holtz's Distress Ink-Antique Linen. I didn't want it really dark but just a little older looking. I glued all four pieces on my cardstock (gluing toward the middle of card) and then used a zigzag stitch on the outside of all four pieces. Then I tied some Aqua Mist Swiss Dot ribbon (by Papertrey, of course) onto the spring moss cardstock and Matted it onto the card. For the circle in the middle I cut out the scalloped circle using my nestibilities, and then cut out and embossed the inside circle using my nestibilities also. I inked with the Antique Linen pad just inside the circle by keeping the die on the circle and inking on top of that. I stamped the stroller from Bitty Baby Blessings in the circle and also on some patterned paper. I cut out the patterned paper and pop dotted it onto the stroller image. I also used Simple Alphabet stamp set to spell out Aaron's name within the circle. (Papertrey again) And the part I love the most is the little tiny pearl that is on the hinge of the stroller hood. The sentiment "It's about Time" is also from Papertrey in the Favor It Baby Stamp set. Darn, I forgot about the little baby! It's a little baby head that came from the Bitty Baby Blessings stamp set also. I masked it to peek out from the stroller. Isn't that adorable? I love that part! Can you tell how much I heart Papertrey Ink!? Someday I would like to be on their design team. You know...when I grow up...
