Hello Friends ... Happy Monday!
At my age, I don't have a need for many baby shower or wedding cards but thanks to my 'younger' neighborhood friends/neighbors, I've had the pleasure of watching their kids grow up, get married and now have babies. I've been invited to an upcoming baby shower so wanted to make her a special card for their first baby which is going to be a girl.
Here's a peek at the inside . . .
I've used a WeR Memory Keepers embossing folder then dabbed each
intersecting section with Nuvo White Crystal Drops.
Dies used are:
Frantic Stamper 'Gladys the Giraffe' (FRA-DIE-10451)
Frantic Stamper 'Baby Elephant' (FRA-DIE-09684)
Karen Burniston 'Baby Charms' (#1086)
My gift is in a large pink/white polka dot bag so I punched a hole in the corner and hung this card with a ribbon on the handles of the bag. They requested no cards. I guess the thing now is to buy a book and then sign the book. Which is actually a clever way to start building their child's library! BUT, being a card maker I just had to make a card and she will understand lol. (OH and I bought a book and put a message inside too.)

Adding texture with the ef and nuvo dots was genius. So cute and perfect for this special occasion.

This is adorable, love the quilted background. Nice way to use it on your present as a tag too. Thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, this is adorable, Darlene! Gosh, even my neighbors aren't having babies. I wonder why I still have baby stamps. I used to love making baby cards. I like the idea of giving a book and signing it. But no cards? What is the world coming to?!
