More Baby Cards!

Yikes there are lots of new babies lately!  So many of my friends are becoming the happy grandparents of little ones!  That means I've been busy making baby cards!  My favorite stamps and dies for making baby cards right now are still the Bundle of Baby Clothes dies and the Welcome Baby stamp set from MFT!  The first card I have to show you was for a family who had twin boys.  When I was looking for good paper to use, I realized that the Doodlebug 6x6 pads had miniature designs that were perfect for my little clothes!  The pad I used for this card is called Hip, Hip, Hooray. The tiny robots, monsters, plaid and stars and the bright colors made this card!  






































To add some interest to the background I stenciled on some puffy clouds using the cloud stencil  from MFT. Next I cut out and assembled all of the clothes, and cut the clothesline and the clothespins.  After deciding on placement, I glued the clothes to the line using glue at the top of each item and a piece of foam tape at the bottom of each. The word congrats finished off the front of the card.  It comes from the More Essential Sentiments stamp set from MFT.  For the inside of the card I added two bibs and this adorable sentiment.






































For my second baby card I used the robot paper for a onesie, I used the same little monster outfit as on the first card and then used the stars papers for a t-shirt and bib,  I used the same cloud stencil for the background but added grass and bows to the clothesline. 



On the inside of this card, I used the stencil to make a cloud background and added the sentiment.  There are some really adorable messages in the Welcome Baby stamp set!


Here are a couple of close ups...








































I hope you enjoyed seeing my cards.  If you are using the Bundle of Baby Clothes dies and are looking for smaller scale patterns, check out the 6x6 pads from Doodlebug.  There are lots of really good designs for both boys and girls!

Thanks for stopping by, have a good weekend and stamp as often as you can...it's good for you!!

  1. Two adorable baby cards! Love your choice of papers for the tiny clothes, they're just too cute :). The clouds on the background are a lovely detail. Don't you just love making these little clothes, it just takes me back to when I was a little girl with dress up paper dolls. The recipients will be thrilled with these darling cards Janet.
    Hope you have a great weekend! Debra x
