Ahoy! It’s a Boy!

Do you remember how you felt the first time you were introduced to Stampin’ Up!?  When Allie came to my very first Open House in 2012 as a guest of a friend, she was giddy with excitement about all the wonderful products.  Her eyes rolled around in her head, and her fingers extended open with a “give me, give me” motion.  Little did I know Allie would become one of my first team members – and she’s stayed around because she STILL gets giddy about the experience of crafting – and her energy rubs off on the rest of us.

Lee is a member of Allie’s Stampin’ Up! group, and she’s having a baby!  Woo hoo!  Allie made some adorable shower invitations using a mix of current and retired Stampin’ Up! products – and I couldn’t love these invites more!  I’m happy for Lee, but I’m also happy for each of the recipients of these adorable invitations.

All three of these invitations feature Maritime Designer Series Paper as the base of the card.  The same paper also covers the flap of the coordinating envelope.  Super cute!  Each of these invitations also includes a Coastal Cabana “wave” using the Work of Art stamp set.  Tell me these aren’t the cutest invitations for a hip baby shower:

The whale is from Oh Whale!, a retired stamp from the 2013 Occasions Catalog.  The whale is cropped with the Happy Whale Clearlits Die, also retired.

I’m so happy I could share these great invitations with you today!

Thanks for stopping by today!
