I’m a firm believer in not reinventing the wheel. Additionally, it’s always nice to be prepared. Put the two together and you can create some remarkable things, like cards, to have at the ready.

And Miss Laura has some that fit that criteria just beautifully featuring the Hello Baby stamps..

Take look…

 

 

Aren’t they just the sweetest? Loving the simple little details going on here. What a great idea for a gift or congratulations.

Here’s Laura to tell us more:

Hey everyone! When I saw Kerri’s new Hello Baby stamp set, I knew exactly what my first project would be using them. Baby cards. I don’t have any baby cards left in my card stash, and knowing that I have several friends and family members due to bring their new babies into the world over the next few months means that I want to have cards on hand for when the time comes. 

My card making style is pretty simple, and I almost always mass produce cards when I do sit down to make them. It just makes sense to me to duplicate all of the steps several times while I have all of my supplies and tools out – and then I assemble them all at the same time. 

I started by picking out a few patterned papers – pink for girls, aqua for boys, and a neutral yellow for those that choose to wait to find out the sex of their babies. After creating the base of my cards, I set to work on the stamping. I used Kerri’s new Jordan SM alphabet stamp set to stamp “baby” several times onto white cardstock, using my three colors (pink, aqua, and yellow), and then I used my scissors to cut apart each letter individually. I inked the edges of each individual letter using black ink, so that they would stand out against the white dry embossed background. 

I stamped the adorable bear and the “sweet little face” phrase onto squares of white cardstock, and inked the edges of each with my coordinating ink colors, matting each square onto a piece of patterned paper. 

These cards were simple to make, and perfect to have on hand for when those precious little ones make their way into this crazy world.
