Baby Step card

This is another step card that I have been working on. Couldn't post it before now since I didn't want the recipient to see it early. I think I am in the clear now so I can share it with you now. 

I am really happy with how it turned out. Mind you, it was not a card that came together fast. No, I played with it for a few hours before I got it looking exactly how I wanted it.


I am linking this card up to the following challenges
Little Scrap Pieces- Anything your Heart Desires challenge

Cricut 360 Challenge #14 Welcome Baby

This week the challenge over at Cricut 360 is Welcome Baby. The challenge is to use any Cricut cartridge to make a baby card, but use white, embossing, and pastel colors.

One of my favorite baby type carts is Baby Steps.

I embossed the white paper and then lightly rubbed over it to give a blue effect to the raised dots. 

hope you wills top over and link up a project. 

Here's how I did it...

Here is a quick card for the E.A.D color challenge: Spring Fling.

The Baby Steps cartridge is adorable and has tons of fun stuff on it. The Font button and Font Shadow buttons hold a jackpot of special little cuts that could easily be missed. Here is just one that I had to try right away.
