A new baby girl card

This card to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl uses a die-namic from "My Favorite Things" called "Notched Tag" to create the tag, the onesie and all the butterflies. When I attached the butterflies, I stuck some straight to the cardstock and then used pop-dots for some of them.

The patterned paper comes from the Kaisercraft collection called "Fine and Sunny."

Celebrate a new baby girl with a handmade card

After all the baby boy cards I've been making lately, I thought that it was time to make a baby girl card.

This one uses some patterned paper that I picked up from Lincraft as well as some dies that I cut on the Big Shot using a die-namic and stamp set from "My favorite Things" called "Notched Tag." This set also includes the stamps that I used for this card (as well as lots of other stamps and dies too!)

A baby boy card

This card to celebrate the arrival of a baby boy uses two of my favorite things. First, I love this patterned paper that I found in Lincraft of some circus animals. I've used it for quite a lot of cards, and fortunately bought quite a few sheets of it at the time as I think that it is so nice.

The second product that I like is the die-namic and stamp set that I used to make both the tag, the onesie and the stamp. They come from "My Favorite Things" (MFT) in a set called "Notched Tag".

I finished the card off with some kitchen string, some plain blue cardstock and some little sparkly blue and silver stars and circles to add a bit of "bling".

A baby boy card

This baby boy card was created using the "Notched Tag" Die-namic from My Favorite Things for both the tag and the onesie that is attached to it. This was positioned on some patterned paper (I'm unsure of the source), with some kitchen string wrapped around the patterned paper.

To complement this, I cut out a circle from the patterned paper and carefully stamped a sentiment "baby boy" from the "Notched Tag" stamp set on the yellow paper underneath the patterned paper.

To celebrate the arrival of a baby boy, here is a card I made using the "notched tag" stamp and die set from MFT. The onesies and stars were cut using the die set on my big shot, and the sentiment "baby boy" was from the matching stamp set. The card was finished off with some baby blue and white striped ribbon and two pearls were attached to the centre of the stars.

Here is a card that I made to celebrate the arrival of a baby girl. I used some Sizzex dies from MFT to cut out the tags, heart and onesie. The stamp set also came with the die set.

Baby girl gift card

Here is another baby girl gift card that I made using some Fiskars stamps and then coloured in.

"It's a girl" gift card

After making two cards for baby boys, here is a card for a baby girl. It is smaller in size and is very pink with some Christina Re pink diamond patterned paper with some hot pink paper backing it.

Using some Fiskar's stamps, I stamped the pram and sentiment in black straight onto the patterned paper. Then, I also stamped the pram onto some white card stock, coloured this with some copics, and then cut it out and placed it on the stamp using some pop dots to give it dimension.

"It's a boy" card

Here is another card I made using some fantastic animal patterned paper designed by Christina Re (called Animal Kingdom). I matted the animal paper on some co-ordinated baby blue paper to match the blue seal. I positioned some shiny gold card stock with some blue and white striped ribbon around in on the white card, then positioned the animal print and a stamped "It's a boy" sentiment on top.

Baby boy animal card

I was so excited to find this lovely animal print paper at Eckersley's art store the other week, and so made this card to celebrate the birth of a little friend's baby boy. I was so excited with the way it came up, and it was so easy (or at least simple!). I began by cutting out a piece of the patterned paper and positioning it on some blue and gold card stock on top of the white card. I then cut out an additional hippo, elephant, giraff and lion from some of the remaining paper and stuck it onto the card with some foam. I was very happy with the result and the recipient was very impressed - she couldn't believe that I'd made it!

Baby shower card for a baby girl

I recently bought this pretty diamond print paper from Eckersley's art supplier and so was eager to use it. Fortunately a baby shower presented itself! For this card, I stamped an umbrella and a baby from the Fiskars stamp set "The stork has landed", then coloured them using Copic markers. I then cut some pale pink and hot pink card stock and my diamond patterned paper to make the background of my card. I then carefully positioned my stamped images onto the diamond card-stock so that it looks like the baby is hanging off the umbrella. I really liked this card (as did my husband), and fortunately the mum-to-be loved it too!

Another baby girl card

Here is another card to welcome a baby girl. For this card, I stamped some bottles, booties, pins, and hearts using some Fiskas stamps onto some white card. I used a hot pink coloured ink from the versa range, and then used some clear embossing powder to make the images stand out more. I positioned the white card on some pale pink cardstock but placed a strip of hot pink card in between to create a bit of interest. Finally, I placed a message in the middle on the same hot pink card along with some punched out prams in the same pale pink cardstock.

Card to welcome a baby girl

It seems as though all my friends are having baby girls at the moment, so here is a card that I made to celebrate the arrival of one little princess!

The card used a Fiskas stamp to create the pram and also the message. The pram was stamped onto the wide card and then also onto a separate piece of white card. I then coloured the second stamp and cut out the image and 'pop-dotted' it onto the white card.

The little pink and white teddys were punched out using a small bear punch.

Baby boy card for my new nephew

This is a card I made for my sister on the birth of her son (and my first nephew!) I used plain white cardstock in landscape mode and attached some baby boy themed patterned paper to the right side of the card. I then covered the join with some blue ribbon.

As the focal point, I cut out two sailboats and a duck from some patterned paper, and adhered them to some navy blue card before attaching this to the card.

I continued the theme of ducks by stamping a blue duck in the bottom left corner with some blue ink, and then finished by rounding the bottom corners of the card.

Thank you cards for baby shower

I have just started making thank you cards for my baby shower which was two weeks ago.

I have quite a few to make so I wanted to make something that looked nice but would be easy to make. I also wanted to use the same colour scheme as the invitations that my sister made. They are gender neutral in a lovely shiny green colour paper that we found at Lincraft.

I used some plain white cards and then stuck some of the darker green paper that I had run through my Sizzex Bigshot with my Quickutz Vines embossing folder. I positioned some ribbon across the center of the card.

The "Thank You" stampe is from Stamp World (B130) that I recently purchased from Bellbird papercrafts in Blackburn. This was stamped in black ink on some plain white cardstock and then positioned on some pale green card before being placed in the center of the card.

Baby Boy Card

I made a small A6 sized greeting card to welcome a baby boy. The base card is some slightly shimmery card stock that I had left over. I then used some yellow and green card stock plus some shiny blue paper on top for the foreground colour.

The stamps all come from Fiskars "The stork has arrived" range. I stamped these on some white card and also onto the blue card. I coloured the stamps on the white card using my Copic sketch pens - Red R24, Yellow Y08 and Blue B23. I cut out the animals and pop-dotted them onto the stamped images on the blue card. The little cords on the trailers, the animals tails and the giraffs antlers are all only stamped onto the blue card.

Baby Girl

This is a baby girl card that I made using my Fiskars baby stamps and some handy kitchen string!

Baby Girl

This is a card I made for a friend who just had a baby girl. I think the card is so cute (as is the baby!) To make it, I cut out the shape of a pram in some Kaisercraft paper and punched two daisies (Fiskars) out of the same paper. I also cut out a row of rocking-horses from some Kaisercraft paper and mounted it all on some AC cardstock (straw and blush) that I got from Spotlight. Finally, a "welcome little one!" stamp from Fiskars finishes the card off.

Baby Boy

This is a 3D card I made for a baby boy.

Baby Boy

This is a card I made for a baby boy. It is a 3D layered cut out of a giraffe from voorbeeldkaarten. I've matted the card with some contrasting colors and finished it off with ribbon and a little sticker saying "Baby Boy".
