I had a scrap of the striped paper in my stash, and, when looking at it, I thought it would be perfect for a baby card--especially since there was also a happy yellow stripe in the pattern. I covered the seam where the stripe and yellow papers meet with a strip of the same navy blue cardstock that the cardbase is cut from.
I used two die sets for this card: one for the banner and the other for the baby buggy. The banner die set includes the solid banner and then a number of words that can be cut from it, like thank you, happy birthday, congratulations, etc.
I glued some navy blue cardstock behind the cutout word and then popped the banner up with foam tape.
The buggy is glued directly to the card front, and I thought it was more interesting to make it from the navy blue cardstock, rather than one of the pastel colors I usually use. I also liked the contrast of the white ruffle against the navy blue.
I used matte metallic silver cardstock for the wheels and frame and added Nuvo Drops to the centers of the wheels.
I stamped the inside sentiment with navy blue ink.
I am currently very low on baby cards to donate to the thrift store, so I will be making some more of this card design and others. This is no chore, though, because I love making baby cards!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

This is sweet and cute. That baby carriage is adorable. Strollers have come a long way since this style. This is great for either boy or girl.
Wonderful card! I really love the stroller, and everything else, too. :-)
What a great die to have in your collection. I am sure these baby cards will go quickly at the thrift store. I don't remember having a stroller like this but I know my mom did. PS I had twins so had to get a twin stroller.
