I have a couple of babies in my social circle, something that hasn’t happened for quite a while.  One is actually a big One Year Old Boy, and the other is a beautiful 5 month old girl.  I’ve enjoyed watching the two of them – and their mommies – and I was inspired to create a baby card for Hostess Club last week:

• A Slice of Life (Occasions Mini Level I Hostess) and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets
• Whisper White, So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Wild Wasabi card stock
• Play Date Designer Series Paper
• Wild Wasasbi, So Saffron and Real Red Stampin’ Write markers
• Versamark ink pad
• Wild Wasabi embossing powder, Embossing Buddy (A MUST), heat tool, powder pal
• 1 3/4 inch XL circle, 2 3/8 inch XL Scallop circle and medium jewelry tag punches
• Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions folder, Originals Circles #2 die
• White taffeta ribbon; Stampin’ Dimensionals
  
• Vintage Trinkets

The little onesie is embossed with our new Wild Wasabi Embossing powder and all I can say is WOW!  (OK, you know me:  I have more to say.)  The color is fabulous, but I’m really impressed with how well this powder shows detail.  These little lines are beautiful!   Believe me when I say that you NEED the Embossing Buddy with this…stray green flecks around that cute little outfit are a no-no.   Embossing makes it easy to color inside the lines.  It gives your image depth and sharp, clean lines, which is perfect for a single image focal point.  And that Wild Wasabi color is just so cool!

The So Saffron layer behind the 1 3/8 inch circle is a circle cut with the Big Shot using an Originals die.  I discovered they worked together by accident, but I promise you’ll see this combination again!

Finally, that wee safety pin is from the Vintage Trinkets.  I know what you’re thinking:  I can buy a whole package of safety pins…but do those safety pins come in vintage finishes like pewter, brass and aged copper?  I didn’t think so.

Now to find someone about to have a baby…
