7 Pinks for my Princess

Posted on by

Aaarrrgghhh my first baby turns 7 tomorrow!!  Where on earth did those years go?  She is bright, funny, has magical powers over her brother to get him to do what she wants, is beautiful and kind natured {when she wants to be! lol}, she has a wicked sense of humour {gets that from her Dad} and is a joy to be around {most of the time! – after all she is a 7 year old girl!}.

And in honour of her turning 7 I made a card using SEVEN PINKS!!  Yep.  All 7 pinks that SU! have I used!!

And they are - Pink Pirouette *new in colour*, Rose Red, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Blush Blossom, Pink Passion and Pixie Pink!!  Phew!  Mark thought I should also use 7 embellishments {I was shocked he even knew the word ;-) } and seven ribbons but I thought that may have been taking it all a little too far!!  I’ve used the Always stamp set that was in the Spring Mini Catalogue! I was pleased to see it make it into our new one!!  The heart was inked with Pink Pirouette and then “thumped” with Rose Red & Regal Rose.  The chunky glitter is from the Summer Mini {and it’ll be in the new catty too! wink wink!}.  Ribbon is Taffeta.

I hope you like it and that my girl does too.  Pink is her favouritest colour in the whole wide world!  Here’s a cute picture that was taken a couple of weeks ago after a trip to the local farmer’s markets.

Happy stamping!

Baby Shower Thank you Cards

Gosh a week’s gone by!!  Where did that one go???  I was coming back to post on Monday and all of a sudden it’s Saturday again.  It’s the joy of being a mother of 4…days just drift into each other in a jumble of washing, cooking, cleaning and dealing with little ones!!  But you didn’t come here to read about that!! 

Here are the cards and the case I made for hubby’s cousin who is expecting her first baby.  These were the Thank-you cards for the baby shower.  Twenty of them!  I kept the design fairly simple and I hope gender neutral!  I used the Spring Fling DSP with co-ordinating colours – Sage Shadow, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink & Certainly Celery.  I’ve used the Bundle of Joy Giraffe on them and coloured him in with SU Markers.  Bundle of Joy is sadly retiring at the end of March!!  It’s been a well used set for me that’s for sure!!

I also stamped the giraffe onto each of the Envelopes.  I used the lovely Scallop Border punch, Scallop Circle, 1 1/4″ Circle and the Oval Punches as well.  I made up the pattern for the box from scratch based on the width of how many cards were there.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Oh and by the way – THE NEW CATTY IS HERE!!!!  It’s divine too!!  If you would like your copy posted out to you so that you have it in your handsy by 1 April email me at madonna@madonnadunnDOT comDOTau they are $15 including postage or $10 if you collect from me!!  Better yet, if you are in Brisbane or up to an hour(ish) away, I can host a workshop for you and you’ll get your copy FREE!!

Happy Stamping!
