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".

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.

"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.

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 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.

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.
