Eileen's Stamping Corner: Hello baby!

Hello baby!

I have so many friends having grandchildren within the next few months, that I thought I better get started on making some baby cards. Not knowing if the babies will be boys or girls I thought I would use my layout and make some that could be used for either sex. I used the new Little Sunshine Stamp Set and Sweet Dreams Designer Series Paper for both cards and just used different embossing folders, ribbon, ink and card stock to make them just a bit different.

For the card above I used Crisp Cantaloupe Card Stock to coordinate with my Sweet Dreams paper, and embossed the layer with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder. My hello, baby was cut using a Word Bubble Framelit and stamped using Elegant Eggplant ink and a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe Thick Baker's Twine was used for my bow. The center cut out in both cards was made with a Square Collection Framelit.

Lost Lagoon Card Stock was used for the card above, and the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder embossed the layer. My hello, baby was inked using Soft Suede ink and a piece of Lost Lagoon 3/8" Stitched Ribbon created this bow.
