Bundle of Joy Baby Card

This is a card I made for a friend who recently had a baby.

I started out by stamping the pram on purple cardstock with a dark purple ink.  I stamped the sentiment with the same ink.  The top and bottom were die cut to fit the card base.  I coloured the blankets pink and added some pink rhinestones.

The backing paper was originally pink, but I didn't like how it looked when I went to put the panel piece on, and so changed it to a darker purple.  I die cut the bottom edge (both front and back) with a Spellbinders die.

I don't normally add stamped sentiments inside my cards but I did this time so I could use the hand prints.  My husband pointed out that the hands are backwards.  In my defense the stamps came joined and I'm not sure I can separate them without tearing the stamps and the mini hands are so cute.

Baby Snuggle Kaylee Card

I made this card for a family member who recently had a baby boy.

I printed the Some Odd Girl digi, Baby Snuggle Kaylee, and coloured it with pencil crayons.  I die cut the frame out of my cardstock card, glued the picture to the back, stamped 'Adorable' from a Fiskars stamp set and added the embellishments.  The duck was cut on the Silhouette SD and coloured in with markers.  The safety pin and buttons were embellishments from a button company I bought at a craft show several years ago.

Babies are a Blessing

This is another baby card I made recently.  I saw the idea in a magazine a year or more ago and had forgotten about it until now.  You fill a bonboniere bag (I got mine at the dollar store, 6 for $1) with confetti (I got a giant bag of shaped confetti from Michaels a while back for a couple of bucks) and glue the bag to the card.  The sentiment is from Fiskar's Precious Baby set, stamped in gold Ultimate Encore Metallic ink.
