It was baby card day here this weekend. The son of my husbands best friend had a baby in December, a little boy, and a memeber of my staff is expecting a baby this week, a girl. I figured I might as well make them both at the same time but with a couple of girl/boy variations. These are my take on the ‘dresser’ look card.
I started with Thick Whisper White as the card base for sturdyness. I chose blushing bride for the girl, and Mint Macaron for the boy card. Each card base was cut to 4 1/4 x 11, scored at 5 1/2. While folded, I used the Deco Label die, next to the largest, to cut the base of the ‘dresser’. I saved those pieces to add to the drawers.
I stamped both with the Hardwood background stamp. (TIP: ink up your large background stamps then place your paper on the image, rather than stamping the image on your paper. You can use your fingers or even a brayer, or bone folder to assure the paper picks up the ink evenly from the stamp). Silver foil was used to create Stars for drawer pulls and the little baby hanger. I stamped the little kitty and deer from Made With Love, being careful to not ink up the sayings included in the stamp.
I colored each of the kittys and deers with blushing bride, crumb cake and soft suede markers. I added some tiny flowers with pearls using a retired flower punch but the Tree Builder punch has a little flower that would work just as well. The little onsie was cut using Baby’s First die and Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper.
For the inside I used the last little critter from Made With Love, the bunny and added a balloon from Baloon Celebration, leaving plenty of room for a message. These were really fun to make.

Absolutely adorable! Love how you colored that cute kitty.
These are so adorable!!! I shared your blog link with a customer of mine who needs to make a baby card 🙂
These are so cute. Love all the little details. Wish I’d seen them last week before a baby shower, but I could make them when the baby is born!!
