Workshop Baby Cards

Held my second workshop today. Theme was baby cards. The first used the Stampin' Up stamp "Two by Two". Everyone was so quiet while coloring in their arks with colored pencils! Background is embossed with the Darice Embossing folder "Beach Waves". Also used the SU Modern Label punch and Baker's Twine.
The second card was made with a retired Stampin' Up set called "Baby Firsts" and the Sizzix Embossing Folder "Beaded Ribbons". Accent was made with the Stampin' Up "Ciao Baby" stamp set and SU 7/8inch and 1 1/4inch scalloped circle punches.
