I used blue gingham paper for the background and stuck a cardboard border to the top of the card. On the bottom left I glued 2 small bootees and on the bottom right I used a rubber duck sticker. The square embellishment at the top was made using 2 different shades and sizes of blue handmade paper. To the back of this I secured a building block sticker. I used a dufex "New Baby" sticker to finish.

For this card I used blue gingham paper for the background and laid cream paper on top. The bootee was made by cutting out the shape onto white felt. I stitched blue cotton round the outside of it and then stuck a small piece of blue ribbon onto the top of the bootee. For the tag I glued a piece of scrap paper onto a piece of white card. I used rub ons to make the word "baby". When the tag was finished I glued it onto the bootee. For the final touch I secured a white button onto the top of the tag.

This card was made using blue felt for the background. I used sticker ribbons for the borders. I had a beautiful "Baby Boy" ribbon in my stash and used that to cut diagonally across the card and finished off with a blue rabbit sticker in the bottom right hand corner.

I made this one for a friend's little girl. I used yellow chalk on the background. For the dress I used a template and traced onto handmade paper. I added the purple bow for an added touch.



I really enjoyed making this one. I love the red ribbon and red jewels. It's a simple card but beautiful I think.
