Tuesday Throwdown #9

Happy Tuesday! This week, our challenge at Tuesday Throwdown is paper piercing. This is something that I hadn't tried before, but I liked the way it turned out. We all used digital stamps from Whimsy Stamps - I chose this adorable whale by Meljen's Designs.

Details:
Paper: K&Co
Misc: Prima Flowers, Coloring with Distress Inks, Letter Beads, Paper Piercing done by hand (no template) with stick pin

Another Baby Boy Card

As I have said before, I have numerous pregnant friends (I think it's 9 now).  So I just keep making baby cards!

Details:
Stamp: Meljen's Designs, Studio G Sentiment Stamp
Patterned Paper: DCWV Summer Stack
Misc: Ribbon from stash, Creative Memories Corner Rounder, Bic Mark it Markers, white Gelly roll pen, gorgeous handmade paper flowers from Helen

Challenges:
1. Meljen's - long card
2. Paper Play - sketch (I had to change it up a little to make a long card with it)
3. Cookin' it up with Katie - sketch from another blog, yellow, stitching
4. Stampin' for the Weekend - 3 DP's, 2 flowers, 1 ribbon
5. Stamp, Scrap, & Doodle - animals

A Baby Boy Card

I have tons of baby showers coming up, so I decided to make a baby card. I know of 3 people having boys in the next two months, so I'm not exactly sure who this will go to. But it's definitely good to have extra cards on hand!

Details:
Stamp - Meljen's Designs (this is actually a freebie available on their PCP site)
Misc - Nesties Circles, MS Star Border Punch, Buttons from stash, letter beads from stash, Bic Mark it Markers

Challenges:
1. Creative Inspirations - sketch
2. Meljen's Designs - red, white, and blue (I hope this counts, it looked way too patriotic without the polka dot paper)
3. Critter Sketch - at least 4 stars (I've got WAY more than that!)
4. Pile it On - favorite things (I love making baby cards!)
5. La La Land - try something new (this is my first Meljen's image)
