Just over 5 weeks ago a friend of ours had a little baby boy. I love making baby cards because I do not get the
opportunity
very often any more and because it is always a challenge to make a super cute and special card! With this card I combined a couple card types I had been wanting to try. I used ideas from a number of cards I have seen on Splitcoast Stampers web gallery. This is a dresser/step card. I have seen a few of these around and thought this was the perfect time to try it out. Let me know what you think!
I used Chocolate Chip Card Stock and added touches in Baja Breeze and Whisper White. The monkey is Soft Suede and the
Giraffe
is More Mustard. I made the card using the
Splitcoast Stampers Tutorial. The bib, baby blanket and lamp are all embossed using the square lattice embossing folder. I punched out the base of the dresser with the
Decorative
Label Punch.
I used the computer to print out the photo and the birth information then punched them out for the embellishments. The lamp base is from a retired tab punch (I used the edges to create the curved shape). The baby bottle is the jewellery tag punch.
Overall I was really pleased with the card and the new parents loved it too and that is what really counts.
I am off to the mountains for a week and if I get some time I will post some pictures of our adventures in the Rockies. Have a great Holiday Monday everyone.
Thanks for looking!
