Baby boy card

Baby cards are few and far between for me.  So few, in fact, that I don't have a baby stamp set--if I do have one, I don't remember it. Most of my friends had kids back when I purchased cards.

I needed a baby boy card that didn't require me to purchase a stamp, so I turned to Pinterest, of course!  I saw several of these cute little dresser cards so I chose to make one. 

I used 2 cut files from the silhouette store for the baby sleeper and the hanger.  The card itself is super easy to make using a nestability to cut out the bottom portion of the card and simply cutting strips of cardstock for the drawers and subtly rounding the corners--I used a 1/4" corner rounder on my Crop-o-dile corner chomper. The top of the dresser is simply a strip of cardstock scored in the middle and folded over the top. I had to gold emboss some clear gems for the drawer knobs. 

 

Super easy project but it looks so impressive.

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Olivia's Card

I made this card for a friend who recently had a baby. I wanted to personalize it a bit so I used the letters in the baby's name to make a pattern on the main panel with the middle part actually spelling her name. Does that make sense? I'm not very articulate this morning.

I used a clear alphabet set from Inkadinkadoo and I don't think I'll go back to rubber alphas. It's so easy to see where you are putting the letter. This alpha stamps nice but the Martha Stewart alpha I bought does not and I won't be buying any of her stamp sets again. I want the alphas from PTI and will get them over time. You can put the letters side by side to spell a word and the spacing is perfect betweent the letters. The MS set and the Inkadinkadoo set are not like that. I used a scallop stamp from SU's So Many Scallops and the welcome cirle is from a SU hostess set called Riveting.

Have a wonderful weekend!
