Hello lovely bloggers - it seems Summer has finally arrived in the UK - yaaay!! I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine wherever you are.
I have TWO projects to share today - the first is a very simple little card for LESS IS MORE. (Better late than never)!
Chrissie and Mandi's theme this week is a BABY card, or CHILD'S card.
******
Please be warned - this is a "photo-heavy" post - sorry!
**********
For my LIM card, I used some leftover gingham snippets (Craft Creations), trimmed with a Fiskars border punch.
The vintage pram stamp is from Anna Griffin, the sentiment is from a New Baby set by Kars, both inked with Jet Black Archival. (The image is much clearer when you click on the pic.)!
****************
I am popping over to Di's Playground to share this card with the playmates!

**********************************
My second project is a Book Card. This is for my DIL's birthday next week - I've been intending to have a go at making one of these for ages, and my DIL's birthday has spurred me on - she loves all things vintage, shabby-chic, fairies etc., and I know she will appreciate it.
If you would like to make one of these, there is a fab. tutorial on Sandie's wonderful blog http://delightfullycrazytoo.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/vintage-book-card-tutorial.htm
***************
I would also like to enter this Book Card into the ALLSORTS 3rd Birthday Blog Hop Challenge,
and OCC - Shabby Chic Theme.

my DIL.

This was rather difficult to photo - the punched border on the shadow box looks more like pale blue than the real-life shade of pale cream, and the "hinges" on the back cover are dark grey IRL, not blue!
*********
Items used:-
Papers from Prima (but I think the back cover is Basic Grey)
Tiny flower punches - SU Boho Blossoms and EK Success Retro Flower.
Pearls and ribbon from stash.
Tons of Glamour Dust!
Martha Stewart border punch - Floral Vine.
Tonic Studios Butterfly punch.
DI Inks used - Antique Linen, Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, Faded Jeans.
Memento London Fog.
Nesties dies - Ovals and Fancy Tags Two.
Cuttlebug fancy corner die.
Stamps - Layers of Color (Birthday Wishes), Indigo Blu Wild Meadow (Swirl).
. Crafty Individuals (Dream a Little Dream). Kaisercraft Botanical.

Many thanks if you are still with me! Have a wonderful weekend.
Love to all ~

The Prima paper is gorgeous, I must look out for that and I love how you've overstamped and embellished it. What a work of art. Your DIL will simply love it.

Super baby card Sylvia - and the book card is totally awesome! It's just amazing!! Thanks for the link and for coming to play. Am I OK in thinking that it's just the baby card using snippets - or did you also use them on the book card? Just so I get it right for the roll call :) Di xx
