I made this baby card last week for my son and daughter-in-law who are expecting their first child in late February. I saw a card on someone's blog (oh that I remembered whose!) that I really liked and adapted it from a feminine general card to this baby boy shower card. I've loved the Wild About You stamp set since it came out and here I get to use it again, in pastels for once rather than primary colors.
Stamp Sets: Wild About You, Short & Sweet
Cardstock: Baja Breeze (2009 In Color), Kraft, Very Vanilla
Ink: Baja Breeze
Accessories: Manchester DSP (Designer Series Paper), Punches: Wide Oval, Large Oval, Small Oval, 1/2" Circle; Dimensionals, Baja Breeze 5/8" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon
This is a pretty straight forward card that could be adapted to so many stamp sets, cardstock colors, Designer Series Papers, and themes in general. I'm sure I'll be back with it in another incarnation soon. If you have any questions about it, be sure to ask. And remember, you can always let me know if you'd like to order any of the ingredients, all found in the 2009 Spring/Summer Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog (which will be linked on the sidebar of this blog soon--I'm being technically challenged again). You can email me or order online anytime on my Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Website.
Hi Blythe,
What a sweet card! I guess the baby came early?! This is one of my favorite sets, and I love the color combo you chose. It gives it a completely different look! Congratulations on the new grandbaby. Love your blog photo, too!
