Simple "new baby" card...

 

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.
