Easy DIY baby Flash Cards:)

Helo everyone:)

    Today I will show you how to make those fun flash cards for your baby. I always see my friend's babies play with cards like this and wanted them for my son too. I know it would be much easier to buy them, but I wanted mine to be in two languages, because we speak polish and english at home. That's why I decided to make my own cards. I think it is a very fun and simple project, especially if you like coloring like me!!! Lets get started!!

The list of supplies we will need:


  • cardstock
  • paper trimer or scissors
  • color pencils (markers or paints are good too)
  • stamps with fun images
  • ink pads
  • black marker (to write the words)
  • pencil
  • 2 rings for binding


In this project I used stamps for some cards and for others I drew images myself (just for more fun)



Cut the cardstock into 3x4 inches cards using a paper trimer (you can use scissors too).



Stamp your images using your ink pads or draw them with a pencil and color them.






Write your words with a black marker. I wrote in two languages.



Those are finnished cards.




The last step is to laminate cards for protection. I laminated them at the print shop. Remember to round the corners of the laminat so that your baby wont hurt himself !!!(I used a corner punch to do that).  Punch the holes and put rings to make a little book. Hope you like my project:) Have fun making your own cards!

Love U ♥

    I am back with a new post today and a new layout share. I haven't been able to scrapbook or paper craft for the last couple of months (busy with a little baby boy), but last week I finally pulled myself together and finished 3 layouts. Today I will show you the first one I made. I found this adorable picture of me and my son and decided to make a cute scrapbook page. The base paper is just a regular craft sheet that I sewed around the edge to give a little bit of definision, I have used a 6x6 mask template from TCW called "Little Letters Collage" and masked it with some white paint. It didnt turn out exactly how I wanted, but I decided to keep it that way. For the patterned paper I have used a A4 pad that doesnt even have a name, but there are cute polka dots and grid patterns in it. The butterfly stamp comes from CraftEmotions and it's called "Botanical2". I colored the butterfly with my watercolor pencils and fussy cut it. For the embelishments I used two die-cut collections- Pinkpaislee "Cottage Farms" and BasicGrey "Mint Julep". I also used the Simple Stories "24/seven" arrow sticker in the corner, as well as a cute laber from "Memo" by My Minds Eye. I spayed the layout with my "Bahama Blue"glimmer mist. I enjoyed making this layout and I am happy how it turned out.

Nursery decorations

Hi again, today I want to share a project I just finished. It's a wall decoration for my son's nursery corner. I wanted to make him something pretty so he can look at when he is in his crib. I've decided to make those 2 shadow boxes and a frame with sentiment. The box I used is a recycled box from something my partner got in the mail (he kept this box for me). The papers and collectables come from"Bundle of joy" collection by KaiserCraft. The creme frame is very old and I got it at the local paper store. I also used paper lace doily from "Tea Party" by Dovercraft. The letters we bought at a baby store here in our town. My son loves his new decoration!

Baptism Invitations

Quick post and a picture of my sons baptism invitations that I made. They are very simple but I think cute and pretty. I couldnt find a stamp with a baptism theme so I had to improvise. I used a birthday stamp set instead.
