It's a Girl!

Pin It Now! No there is no new baby here! Some friends of ours had their first baby late Thursday night & we got to see her Friday. Since I just got my computer hooked up & running I wanted to share with you the adorable card I made for them. It was quick & easy to put together & I actually made up several to have on hand. It seems like we know of a lot of babies that will be born between now & Christmas so I wanted to be prepared. I also made up several baby boy cards too that I will share another time ;) Well, are you ready to see the sweet card?

How stinkin' cute is that!? The go-to set I grabbed was "Baby Bundle" & I just stamped the buggy onto some water color paper using black StazOn. The Stamp-a-ma-jig came in handy for the bear & the booties. Before I stamped the bear I covered the buggy with a piece of scrap paper so his little legs didn't show. I grabbed my Aqua Painters along with Blushing Bride, Soft Suede, & Basic Gray classic ink pads to color everything. I sponged the edges with Early Espresso & put it on a piece of Blushing Bride card stock. I took a piece of Early Espresso card stock 3" x 4" & ran it through the Big Shot using the small dots design on one of the plates from the Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates. I cut the piece in half so I had two pieces measuring 1 /2" x 4" each. I then cut a piece of Blushing Bride designer series paper measuring 2" x 4". I wanted to wrap my Very Vanilla satin ribbon around just the background  panel & not the entire card front so here's a TIP: cut a piece of scrap paper slightly smaller (3 3/4" x 4 3/4") & adhere the 3 panels to that to make sure you've lined them up properly. This way you have created a sturdier panel to wrap your ribbon around since you had 3 separate pieces. Take your Very Vanilla satin ribbon & tie it onto the panel you created. Use Snail to adhere this panel to the Blushing Bride card front & pop up the main image on dimensionals. Voila! Wasn't that quick & simple? I hope you enjoyed the post today. I really love how the colors work so well together. Have a great day & I'll see you back here soon.
