Celebrating Birthday & Birth Day with Blast From the Past!

 Hello Delightful friends and family!
Welcome to the Blast from the Past Blog hop featuring Taylored Expressions Stamps released prior to July 2011!  There is a double theme for us today Birthday/Birth Day.  My first card celebrates birthdays which I have a lot during the fall months especially in November so I'm glad to get started with the many I need to make.
This card features two TE stamp sets Make a Wish and It's in the Bag.  Before I go any further I just would like to congratulate Taylor and her husband on the birth of their new daughter Madelyn Grace!

Here is the sketch supplied for inspiration by Sankari Wegman.

The ingredients: Designer Paper, My Minds Eye (Life of the Party - July KI kit); Card Stock: Bazzill and Neenah; White Corrugated Paper, Jillybean; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Ranger Glossy Accents; Adirondack Dimensional Pearls, Espresso; Spellbinders Nestabilities Standard Circles, large; Cuttlebug; Dotted Swiss Embossing folder; Copics: BG0000, BG01, BG10, BG72; B0000; G40; N3; C0; E74, E31

In honor of our hostess Taylor, I made this baby card. Love this double-sided paper from My Little Shoebox(Enchanted Garden - Magnificent).  The stamp set is In the Bag (sentiment and pacifier aka binky in our home) I simplified the sketch a bit and came up with this cute "new baby" card.  I haven't finished the inside of this card but I think I will probably make an envelope for a gift card.

Love the 3-D bag, a die set from TE that coordinates with the In the Bag stamp set called Shopping Bag and Labels.

I used the Liquid pearls (rouge) by Ranger to make the pacifier more dimensional.

Other Ingredients used:  Creative Charm Adhesive Pearls; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Ribbon (handle on bag) TE Key Ingredient July kit; Bazzill card stock; Spellbinder Nestabilities scallop circle and standard circle; Cuttlebug (ProvoCraft); shredded crimped paper repurposed.

Thanks for visiting and I look forward to reading the comments and visiting the rest of the hoppers and being inspired by all the creativity!  God bless!
