Two Baby Cards and a Video!

Happy Monday friends! Karla here today with two baby cards and a video on my new YouTube Channel,to go along with them! I haven't had any baby cards to make for a long time, and I needed two recently. My hairdresser is having a baby boy, and my youngest sister is having a baby girl - yay!! Such exciting times, and I had some great ideas for combining digital and clear stamps to create these cute cards that I wanted to try out.

 I first used the Special Delivery sentiment from the Pen Pals stamp set inside word bubbles from the Let's Talk stamp set and stamped on watercolour paper. I used my Tim Holtz Distress Crayons to watercolour my bubbles by scribbling on my craft sheet and then using a paintbrush to dab on the colour mixed with a bit of water. For the boy card I used blue and green, and then for the girl card I used a red and pink crayon.

I coloured the adorable gator from the Birthday Gator digital stamp set with Prismacolour and Hobby Colour markers, both alcohol based and layered him over some of the awesome papers from the Shimelle StarShine Collection.

I found this sweet little soother button in my stash and added it to my tag along with some shiny metallic thread. A bit of Distress Ink around the edges adds some colour.

I used a Spellbinders die to cut the star shaped diecut background and added some pretty sequins.

For my second baby card I used the super sweet elephant from the Birthday Elephant digital stamp set and coloured her pink and then used some white gel pen to add some pretty details.

I used some more of those cute buttons and layered them on some twisted metallic thread in blue and red to match my card. I love the colours in this StarShine collection!

There are so many cards I could use this elephant on - and she'd look good in any colour!

Here's a look at all the awesome sets I've used:

Baby Card

Hi crafty friends, I hope you've all enjoyed our Augusts release hop yesterday with all the wonderful creations from the design team!

Today I'm sharing card I made using the cute elephant stamp from the August release.

The stamp is not only suitable for a birthday card, but I thought it's also a cute image for a new baby card.

You can't see it in the picture, but the elephant has the same pattern as the background. 

I have made this in photoshop by filling in the image with a pattern.

The word bubble is also made in photoshop. 

This cute set (and so many more) are available at the Pretty cute stamps shop.

Enjoy the weekend! Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Henriette.
