Luckily I made these cards yesterday, for this week's challenge at Less is More which is 'for a baby or child'...
They were both going to be the same originally but the boy card was one of those that sort of makes itself and this is just how it ended up! These little padded hearts were one of the first things I ever bought when I started card making, and I've never really used them. I decided to stitch some little buttons on them, which I think does make them look a bit better, and then made my very simple boy card with some kraft card, blue core'dinations from my scraps and a LOTV sentiment, stamped in Memento rich cocoa. I also sponged a bit of antique linen distress ink on the kraft card.
And here's my girl card...
I made this one following the sketch at Clean & Simple, using another of the little padded hearts. The paper is a digi one from Raspberry Rd, printed onto linen card. The paper panel is popped up on foam pads on a mat of white linen that you can't really see properly in the photo. Sentiment is from LOTV, stamped in Memento pear tart.
I'm also entering my cards for the 'new baby' challenge at Fussy & Fancy.
Hope all those of you who love the sun have had a lovely day today! I'm off to carry on with my wilting...

Great CAS cards Lisa. Love the simplicity of them.
Weather here is amazing just now but since we're only a few miles from the North Sea we always seem to have a wind even if it is a soft one (if we're lucky)! I do like to be warm but I'm not one to sit in the sun so even today I've been indoors except for dog walking.
Hope you don't melt completely!!

I'm with you on the sun Lisa....nice to see it but not a lot of use if you need to be out and about in it!!!
Love the little padded hearts...I have some padded flowers that were a bad buy perhaps I'll take your lead and try a button on them too :0)
Two gorgeous baby cards.

I love what you have done with the hearts - I think my favourate has to be the baby girl card!

I absolutely adore these Lisa - especially the boy one. Layering the button over the puffy heart was inspired and it needs nothing more! Poor you wilting in the heat - my hubby is just the same! Vicky x
