If you have arrived from Helen Gullet’s blog you are right on track.

Today I thought I’d share a baby card I made this past week.  I needed a BOY card, and created this card using the Ivy Lane (girly J paper pack) & the Paper Fundamentals collection.  

Take a look at what the Ivy Lane paper pack looks like… If you notice, I used the green side of the first designer paper. 

I challenge myself often to use a paper collection in a way it wasn’t intended to be used.  What FUN and interesting creations I can create when I allow myself to think this way! J

I also used one of our newer products - the Basics Paper Fundamentals papers…oh my…these are so FUN!!! Take a look, this pictures shows both sides of the papers…

…the 1st side is a glossy printed cardstock, while the second side has the same pattern, but in your “normal” paper appearance.  I’m hoping that in the NEXT Idea Book (Aug. 1st) CTMH will debut MORE of this collection in a multitude of colors!!! J

I pulled in a different color than listed with the Ivy Lane paper pack.  Outdoor Denim was the perfect color to accent the green and helped turn it into a GREAT boy baby card! J

The “New Arrival” stamp set is one you’ll want to have in your collection - AND it’s Cricut compatible to CTMH cartridges too!!

The only embellishment I chose to use on this card was our BEAUTIFUL outdoor denim chevron ribbon…nice & simple. 

The card pattern came from our Make It From Your Heart, vol. 2, pattern 28.
