Good Morning Stampers!
Today I am sharing a card my club members made this summer. My hostess was having a little girl and wanted to create a dazzling girly card that had butterflies. I had seen many baby bib cards out there and then came across Debbie Olson's creation and I loved the idea of the button on the left hand side and a bow on the right side. I wanted to keep the card girly but not frilly plus we only had one pregnant person in our club so it had to be something she could use as a Baby Shower Invitation and those of us who didn't need a baby shower invite could use as a Baby Shower Card. Don't you love it? I think it is dazzling!!
This card was easily created using the Big Shot. It is so easy to make and can be easily reproduced. Don't you just love the pink polka dot paper? In case you missed it, it is from the Tea Party DSP. I never noticed this darling paper. This Pretty in Pink is so cute and with matching tafetta ribbon and button I am set to go. This package also includes So Saffron Polka Dot Paper so if you don't know the gender or want to mass produce a bunch for when you need them then this is the way to go.
If you would like to recreate this card, read all the way until the end and you will find a list of supplies used. If you need instructions, please email me and let me know and I will get it to you. Just give me a few days as I am overwhelmed with work. I have a class in 4 hours, 2 Christmas card classes this week, 1 club meeting on Thursday, and Week 3 of 12 Weeks of Christmas scheduled for Wednesday, Dasher Planner scheduled for later this week, and Cool Kids Planner to work on this week to get out to those who ordered the Class-to-Go Kit. Did I exhaust you? I am exhausted just thinking about it.
Oh yeah, I also have a family to take care of and the kids are off from school on Monday. LOL. We are actually going to work on making our Christmas ornaments. As an alternative to Halloween, we put up our Christmas tree on October 31st so we have to get to work quickly because we are running out of time. Our goal this year is to fill our tree with homemade ornaments. The kids love it! Wait until you see these ornaments. They are so dazzling!!! Ooooh, oooh. Almost forgot to tell you I am also working on a drop dead dazzling blanket for my daughter for Christmas. I am using the Big Shot to make it. I even got my fleece on sale yesterday for under $10. That includes the actual 2 yard blanket along with the additional piece of fleece for the pieces I have to cut out. Here we go!! Another dazzling gift for under $10.
So what do you think of my 12 Weeks of Christmas? I am loving it!! Just when I think I know which cards I am going to make for Christmas I come up with another dazzling card and then I don't know which one to use. I guess I should just find more people to send cards to so I can use them all. LOL. If you aren't signed up to receive my 12 Weeks of Christmas Newsletter just go to the upper left hand corner and sign up.
Honestly, I would like to know what you all think of my 12 Weeks of Christmas creations. Please leave me a comment with your thoughts. All comments left will enter you for a chance to win my next Christmas Planner in the series. You are going to love it!! I promise. I would also like to hear from you about this card. I love hearing from you!
By the way, I spoke with Stampin' Up! on Thursday and I CAN include embossed pieces in a Class-to-Go Kit, so if you haven't ordered the Snow Swirled Class-to-Go Kit because of that scroll down and place your order today. I am so excited that I can do this. I promise you won't be disappointed. The response I have received from all my card classes locally is amazing. Nobody can decide on their favorite. LOL
If you would like to order any products to create this dazzling creation or any other, please scroll up to the Order Online Button and place your order today. There are 10 1/2 weeks left till Christmas.
Well, have to run and finish getting ready for my Cool Kids Class at 10:00 a.m. this morning. I have 2 extra kits so if you would like to order one scroll down 3 posts and place your order today. I will be sending them out on October 18th.

Hi Monica, Love the Baby Bib, what a cute idea, and yes, I would like to have the directions on this one. Do you think that one could change it around enough to make it for a Baby Boy? About your 12 weeks of Christmas, they are fantastic so far, I have really enjoyed receiving them. I am going to be making each one, although a little different, don't have all of the stamp sets, but the idea's are so wonderful. Keep 'em coming. Love It!!! Have a happy stamping day, that is if you can find any time, ha, ha.
