Hello Baby Boy Memory Keepers Class Projects


These are some of the projects we made at a recent Memory Keepers Class....

I love how the cards and accessories in our Project Life kits can be used for Memory Keeping, and then if you have some left over, they can be used to make cute, simple greeting cards, too!!

We made these cards at the beginning of our Memory Keepers Class, then the rest of the time was spent getting caught up on your Memory Keeping.  How great is that!



Here's a look at the first card we made......


We start our card with a So Saffron Card base, then added one of the cards from the Hello Baby Boy Card Collection.  We cut this card down to 4 x 5 1/4" to fit perfectly on our card front.

Next, we stamped "Welcome to the World" (from the Happy Happenings Stamp Set) on one of the 3x4" cards found in the Hello Baby Boy Card Collection and added it to our card with Dimensionals.




Hello Baby Boy Card Collection  138457  $16.00




Happy Happenings Stamp Set  wood-mount  138734  $28.00
Happy Happening Stamp Set  clear-mount  139381  $20.00



Finally, we punched a So Saffron Medium Star and added it to our card, along with a Silver Cording Trim bow.



Medium Star Punch  138293  $16.00



Here's a look at the next card we made....


This card starts with a Whisper White card base, then we added a layer of Lost Lagoon card stock, followed by one of the 3x4" cards (the polka dot card) from our card kit.

We also stamped "just for you" (from the Watercolor Words Stamp set) on another 3x4" card and then added a So Saffron Candy Dot above the "j" in "joy".




Watercolor Words Photopolymer Stamp Set  138702  $26.00




Subtles Candy Dots  130933  $6.00



Finally, we added some Mint Macaron Lace Trim to the bottom of the playful animal card, along with that cute bunny sticker found in the Hello Baby Accessory Pack.



Mint Macaron 1" Dotted Lace Trim  138424  $6.00



Hello Baby Project Life Accessory Pack  138458  $10.00


And here's a look at the last card we made at class....


This card starts with a Mint Macaron card base.  Then, we added a Whisper White piece embossed with the Happy Hearts Embossing Folder to the top of our card and another 3x4" card from our Hello Baby Boy Card kit to the bottom of our card.

We also added a strip of Whisper White 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon between these two layers.



Happy Hearts Embossing Folder  137364  $7.50



Whisper White 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon  138429  $9.00





Finally, we stamped "congrats" (from the Paper Pumpkin Blissful Bouquet Stamp Set) and die-cut it out with our Lots of Labels Framelits.  This piece was layered on top of another Lost Lagoon piece die-cut with the same framelits and then added to the card with Dimensionals.



Lots of Labels Framelits  138281  $27.00



I hope you enjoyed these projects!!





If you're interested in attending the next Memory Keepers Class, we meet the second to last Thursday of every month from 6-9pm.  You receive a Project Life Card Kit and Accessory Pack at class for just $35, make a couple of projects with the card kit and accessory pack, then you spend the rest of class getting caught up on your memory keeping!

The next class meets on Thursday, January 21 from 6-9pm.

Just email me at amy.frillici@yahoo.com for more info or to sign up today.

I hope you have an Inkspired day.
