So what have I been up to this month?

Happy New Year everyone! Hope your New Year is off to a great start. I have wonderful news to share! I have had an Etsy shop under QtCards for the past six years. Well, this past weekend I sold my first card! I was so excited to see that I got a sale. Now, mind you I have not kept up with the shop as much as I should. I am going to show you later what I will be adding to the shop before the end of the month. Here is the card that I sold.


The guitar and the text "Turn it up" are from the Raisin Boat Company. They had a stamp rental program that I used to subscribe to, but early last year they stopped it. I have a few other stamps of theirs that I will have to showcase for you at some point. 
The Happy Birthday stamp is from Paper Source, I like the font they used called  Old Claude for it. It is a nice font to use for kids or mens cards.

Are you ready to see what I have made so far this year?
I started off the new year with making baby cards. I have been a little busy bee.

These two sets are a few of the stamps I love using for baby cards. These sets are from Unity Stamp Company.The girl set is called Little Gal and the boy set is Little Guy. I have a few more cards to share with you using these sets.



As you may notice, I tried to do a boy and girl version of each sketch that I did. The boy paper is from DCWV. I can not remember the name of the stack, and it seems that they don't make it anymore because I can not find it on their web site. I know I have had it for a few years now. I love the use of buttons for a boy card. They a nice embellishment to use for them.

This is another card that I did that would be great for a baby boy or a baby girl.



I used gender neutral colors for it. I really love the softness of the colors together and how the little baby turned out. The baby stamp is from Stampendous. This stamp also appears to be not available anymore as well. These and a few more cards that I still need to take photos will be going up in the Etsy store.
Please let me know what you think of these cards and let me know if there is a theme you would like me to do. I am going to be starting my Valentine's Day cards this week, so get ready for them. There is also a challenge from Faery Ink that I need to complete before the end of the month.

Will be back soon,
Colleen
