Basketball thank you cards

My kids have rounded out another season of basketball. I made thank you cards and decorated empty wine bottles (with a gift voucher attached for a local liquor store). 

Inside card

Wine bottle
I attached a team photo with the words "Our girls might be the reason you drink. If so, enjoy a drink on us!"
On the back of the bottle, it had the club name with the summer season 2015/2016 and all the girls names.

Idea was sourced from Pinterest.

In color baby card

I had a request for a baby card similar to the one I made for my nephew. There was no colour restrictions other than a baby boy card so I whipped out hello honey and lost lagoon which are both 2014 - 2016 in colours that will be retiring soon.

The annual retirement list is fast approaching (April 19th) and in color products are often one of the first things to sell out (sometimes in a matter of hours!) Check out what you need and order your 2014-2016 in color products today before you regret missing out.

Congratulations

My upline at Stampin' Up! recently had a wonderful promotion, and a lovely friend organised a bundle of us to make a mini creations (similar to an inchie) for her to say congratulations.
To get the repeated words in the background, I printed the word "platinum" onto whisper white cardstock (its her new title). I used sponge daubers on the butterfly stamp to get a softer/muted colour.

Baptism card

Making a card for a baptism when you have no stamps that suit the criteria is a little difficult. Ideally, I would have used "All god's grace" (page 35 of the annual catalogue) but seeing as this is the first baptism card I have ever made I couldn't justify purchasing the stamp set just yet.
