Welcome Little One

 

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing a baby card designed with the new Echo Park It’s A Girl 6x6 Paper Pad along with the Welcome Baby Bundle, dies, lace and other supplies all from Stamp Simply.

The new It’s A Girl paper is so cute! I love all of the sweet animal images and centered one of the little deer images on the bib die :-)

It has been a personal goal of mine to design a card for each of the 892+ sketches at Splitcoaststampers and I was able to use the SC750 sketch for the layout on this card- woohoo!

I am also linking this card to the Watercooler Wednesday WWC334 Helen’s All About Occasions Challenge (I definitely need a few more baby cards in my stash) and the Word Art Wednesday #529-#530 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

If you have not already had a chance to do so, I hope you visit the Stamp Simply blog to see all of the inspiration from the rest of the SS Design Team as well as the above challenge sites- beautiful galleries from all! 

To create this card:

Die cut the onesie die from Welcome Baby Bundle out of the light green patterned paper from It’s A Girl paper pad.  

Die cut the bib from the animal patterned paper, centering the bib over the little deer.

Layer the two die cuts together and mount onto chipboard (or dimensional foam).

Trim a piece of the animal patterned paper to approx. 3 ¾” x 5 ⅛”, mount onto a piece of green cardstock.

Layer a strip of the designer paper onto a piece of green cardstock, adhere to the far right hand side of the front panel.

Die cut a piece of coral  designer paper with a large circle die, mount onto a die cut circle from green cardstock.

Trim a far right hand side of the layered circle and mount onto the card front.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment “Welcome Little One” onto the prepared panel with archival black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut the sentiments with the Fishtail Sentiment Banners dies, mount onto green cardstock (also die cut from green cardstock).

Layer the die cut sentiments onto the card front, trimming off the far right edge.

Add the ¼” white lace and mount the die cut layered onesie.

Adhere a few pearls to the upper left hand area of the circle die cut and mount the card front to the white card base to finish off the card.

I think the colors on this card are neutral enough that it could be for a girl or boy, don’t you?
