Quietfire Summer Blog Hop - Day 1


Welcome to Day 1 of the Quietfire Summer Blog Hop! It’s Suzanne here today.  I was thinking it was way past time to pull out my newborn/baby designs, so that's the focus of today's project from me!  Even if you're not making a baby card, I hope some of the techniques in this project make their way into your other cards.

But first, here are the blog hop details.....

Each day we will be sharing a project or two to inspire your summer creativity.  We also have prizes!  There will be 2 prizes awarded, valued at $50 each and are a combination of Dies, Stamps and Digital files.  (Suzanne will have a look at the interests of the winners to decide what to give away! If you’re not a digital person, you won’t want those files!) To be eligible to win, you must leave a sweet comment on each Blog Hop blog post!  Visit Quietfire Creations and Quietfire Digital blogs to enter.

Here is the list of posts that you will need to comment on:
Monday: Suzanne on Quietfire Creations (You are here!)
Deadline for commenting is midnight Saturday, July 25, 2020
Winners will be announced on Sunday, July 26th.

Good luck!


Now back to the project! Here is how you can make it:

Supplies for this project:

Welcome
Little Ones
Flourished Night Sky
Flourished Frame
Welcome Little One Stamps
My Little Girl Paper
white cardstock
dark and pale pink cardstock
green cardstock
VersaMagic Malted Mauve stamp ink
Glue Dots
3D Foam Squares

Instructions:

  1. Stamp the oval sentiment on a panel of light pink paper measuring 4.25 x 6.25" closer to the top of the panel, as shown.  (You will need to leave room for the Welcome die below.)
  2. Die cut Welcome and the solid backing of the onesie from dark pink paper.  Die cut the Flourished Moon and the little flower (both from the Flourished Night Sky) and the Flourished Frame from white cardstock.  Also cut a panel slightly larger than the pale pink panel from white cardstock as well.
  3. Die cut the onesie from patterned paper.  Form a 6" x 7" high side-fold card base from coordinating patterned paper.
  4. Die cut the flower leaves from green cardstock.
  5. Assemble the onesie and adhere to the center of the stamped oval. 
  6. Mount the stamped oval panel to the white panel.  Cut the Flourished Frame in half lengthwise.  Adhere the halves of the frame so they peak outside the white panel as shown. I used Glue Dots to do this.
  7. Adhere Welcome below the stamped oval sentiment. Add the leaves behind the flower with Glue Dots and adhere it to the flourish on Welcome with Foam Squares to give some dimension.  Adhere the Flourished Moon as shown with Foam Squares.
  8. Adhere this to the cardbase with Foam Squares.

All done!  I hope this gives you some ideas for creating your own card. Congrats to the new parents and happy creating to you!

Don't forget to leave a comment on the blog to be eligible to win a prize!  Good luck.
Suzanne

I love how all the elements-the stamp, dies, paper, colors-complement each other so perfectly. Your calligraphy really makes it a classy baby card!

I love the soft baby feel of the pink gingham. Thanks for the tip to cut the frame die cut in half, I will use this idea.

A lovely welcoming baby card. Love the pink as it is my favourite card. A lot of good techniques to use on cards even if they are not baby one.

Although I am not in need of any baby cards this one is lovely. I don't know why I have to be reminded that I can cut a frame diecut in half to use the way you did, but thank you!

This is an adorable card for a new baby girl (easily changed for a boy!) - I don't foresee the need for making such a card in the near future but I will certainly take away lots of ideas. Thank you.

Sheila said...

What a rich looking and eye-catching card. Definitely worth framing!!

Jo Ann F. said...

What a great way to start the blog hop with a baby card - in the middle of these crazy times, a baby is a confirmation that is good and will go on. Your beautiful design for a little baby girl is just perfect - feminine and fun. Always love your flourishes.

Lin said...

A beautiful classic baby card!

Theresa R. said...

Quietfire calligraphy is elegant. I love the combination of patterns and die cuts to create the perfect welcome for a baby girl.

Betty said...

Oh I love this card, wish I had seen it earlier, had just ordered baby elements. May still have to have it!,

Love the circle sentiment. Makes the card.

Sue D said...

So sweet with the die cut onesie.

Unknown said...

I admire the continuity of the ‘flourish’ - right from the backing of the card - including the moon - around the “Welcome Little One” sentiment and the bright pink “Welcome” calligraphic die cut.. And of course the plump pink onesie is adorable ��!!

Frances said...

Such a sweet card! I love the crescent moon with the flourish. So sweet!

Norma Nelson said...

Love the flourish..Makes for a more dainty card for a girl baby <3
