Hello Baby

Hi,

My friend recently had a baby boy and today's post shows the card I created for her. The card uses the Nursery Nest (sadly retired) DSP. I love this DSP for creating cards for babies. I was inspired to finally use my Petite Pennants Builder punch. I have had the punch for ages and I hadn't used it yet.

Here's the card:

Happy Saturday,
Today's card is for a very happy occasion. My friend, Andrea just had a baby boy. I'm so happy for her and her family. Her baby boy is lucky to be born into such a warm and loving family. I can't wait to meet him. For the baby card I went to Stamping 411 for their Saturday Sketch Challenge 228. I really liked this sketch right away and it worked so well with what I had in mind for the card. I was also happy to finally use the Nursery Nest DSP. This DSP is adorable.

Here's the sketch:

Hello Baby

Hi there,
I have a new baby cousin in my family and I wanted to create a cute card to welcome him. I saw a beautiful card for a baby girl on Heather Summers' blog Stamp with Heather and knew that I wanted to CASE it. If you want to see her baby card, click here. I also wanted to use the onesie in the A Slice of Life stamp set. I paper pieced it and cut it out using my paper snips. Paper snips are a must have to cut intricate designs. I added some hemp cord to look like a clothesline.

I'm also using this card to participate in Use It Tuesday's Challenge #11 - You are an Animal! The elephants in the Tall Tales DSP go well with the animal challenge.
Here's my card:

Here are the details for the card:

CS: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, So Saffron, Whisper White
DSP: Tall Tales (retired)
Stamp Set: A Slice of Life (hostess gift from the Spring Mini), Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Old Olive, StazOn
Embellishments: Old Olive 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, hemp cord
Tools: Paper Snips, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch
