Hey everyone! First off, a BIG THANK YOU to those who participated in the
Aud Sentiments 3rd Birthday Blog Hop! It was an amazing success and
it being my first ever Blog Hop in the history of Craft Blogging, I really
enjoyed it and all your comments were as ever inspiring and awesome - so thank you to those
who took their time to take part in the blog hop and leave fabulous comments
for not just me, but for the rest of the Aud Sentiments Design Team who took

So this fortnight we have kicked off another great challenge
and we are asking you all to be create:
A card or project
with a sentiment suitable for a baby or Mother and child.
Please don't forget the sentiment! You
cannot win if you don't include a sentiment!
Our sponsor this fortnight are: A Day for Daisies
And here is a little bit about them:
A Day For Daisies was
started by Tammy Siemers Thompson as a small token to her constant need
to create. Pairing her love of whimsical illustration with her tidy
graphic design background, introduced irresistibly sweet, high quality designs
to stampers around the globe. Drawing from the world around her brings her joy
and she strives to express this happiness in each stamp design she creates.
Presently, A Day For
Daisies has grown to over 2,000 Digital Stamps with a quickly expanding line of
Best Loved Clear Polymer. Our clear polymer stamps are of the highest quality
photopolymer available and manufactured in the USA. A Day For Daisies has been
published and awarded over the years for innovative and unique designs created
to inspire the crafting community. With a whole team behind her now, Tammy remains
passionate about stamping, obsessed with quality, and dedicated to her
customers

So here my creation below:
Now, my printer seems to have a mind of its own, so I had to
create a last minute card for this challenge – as my printer decided to
malfunction on me! *Boo* So improvising was a probably key here!
Supplies used:
- Amy Tangerine Sketchbook 6 x 6 Paper Pad – American Crafts
- Pretty Party Chipboard Stickers – Crate Paper
- White Ribbon
- White cardstock
- Sunset Foam Thickers Letters – American Crafts
- X-Cut Corner Rounder
- X-Cut Scalloped Border Punch
I used the white card stock as a base for my card and
layered various bright papers from the Amy Tangerine paper pad. I used some
white ribbon on the left hand side – tied into a bow, as well as using the foam
stickers to spell out the word welcome, various strips of paper were cut with a
trimmer and with the X-Cut Scalloped Border Punch and the X-Cut 1" square punch to make tailed layers just
underneath the Welcome lettering, as well as a hand written sentiment of ‘Baby’
just underneath as well. The Pretty Party chipboard scalloped banner finished
the card off. Corners rounded as the edge with an X-Cut corner rounder.
A sweet a simple card without the use of a computer or
printer – unlike me, really! I always use a computer! Hope you guys like this cute make - love the bright colours on it!
