This card was a bit rushed which I’m sure is noticeable in its simplicity and lack of design flow.
One of my workmates has a girlfriend who is due to have a baby really soon and I’ve been meaning to make a baby welcome card for them for a few months but it’s just a matter of finding the time.
As I was quickly running out of time, and I wasn’t sure when the baby would actually come and I wanted to have this card delivered before the baby arrived, about five minutes before I had to leave for work I threw this card together before rushing out the door.
I cut the card base from white card stock, used the Matha Stewart Score Board to score the center and fold it into a top folding card. I then adhered a scrap piece of paper from the Basic Grey Fresh Cut Collection I had laying on the table from when I was working on my Scrapbook Journal (which I don’t believe I have shown on the website yet).
Onto the left over pieces of white card stock I stamped the chubby bunny and the little bundle from the Lawn Fawn Hello Baby Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Because I was rushed it didn’t stamp well, so I rushed over it with the Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pen – it was messy. I fussy cut them out and adhered them at the bottom with foam squares.
Using the sentiments ‘Some Bunny’ & ‘is on the way’ from the Lawn Fawn Hello Baby Stamp Set, I stamped each stamp next to each other on a coordinating strip of scrap paper from the Basic Grey Fresh Cut Collection to create the sentiment banner which was adhered using foam squares.
To finish, I stamped ‘Hello Baby’ as a sentiment inside the stamp and that was it! Then it was time to run out the door. I will organize the other workmates to sign inside and give their well wishes and congratulations before handing the card over to the soon-to-be-dad.
How would you change this card for the better? Do you like this card the way it is? Let me know in the comments below!
