It was so fun creating this Welcome Baby card….though a bit of a challenge. In the rebuild of my craft room…..I simply do not have baby stuff. No cutesy papers and my stamps are limited. In fact, you are looking at the only baby stamp I currently own! I was in need of a baby card….and no way was I buying a store card! I did recently acquire this super cute giraffe die cut…which is the basis of my card. Who can resist the cute giraffe! My cardstock seemed a little plain, so I randomly stamped stars in a coordinating ink. I love the end result. I created my card based on the sketch challenge this week at Paper Craft Crew.
While being short on sentiments…..you can easily make any sentiment you would like by using a Word processing program. I located a cute sentiment, changed it up a bit and printed from my computer. I then die cut the sentiment and layered onto the inside of my card.
Design Tip-If you need to create a custom sentiment for your card….open your Word Processing program. Insert a text box and size to the inside of your card. You can then select various fonts and sizes to create your custom sentiment. By adding a text box, you know exactly how the finished sentiment will look on the inside of your card.
