D.I.Y. BABY CONGRATS


As with wedding cards I save all the cards received on every birth of our four boys, thankful that we have wonderful loved ones in our lives to share our joy on the arrival of our little gifts from God, our precious children. All new parents would gladly receive cards to welcome their little bundle of joy and celebrate with them.

Pastel colored papers go well with baby cards.

I used Jeart 1701086 balloon#3 die cut.

And Jeart 1710007 baby articles/pram.

Cut out backing, sandwich with foam tape and stick double tape to the back.

Cut out a Jeart 1701104-12 Gift tag for messages, touch up the sides with pink chalk and embellish the tag.

Finished card after assembling. Inside card reads Congratulations.

Different design but using same Jeart Baby Articles (Pram & Bottle) die shapes. The brown background paper is handmade paper. Wet the outline of the shape and slowly tear off to give that fiber effect.

Foam in its thickness gives that raised effect. Easy to adhere with double sticky
Another baby card design -for baby boys :) using Jeart 1301038 Giraffe, 1301035 Pin and 1710007 Baby Articles die shapes.

Color the giraffe, pin and bottle with acrylic or other paints. Cut another for backing. Sandwich with tiny bits of foam tapes and adhere to card.
