Hey everyone! I had a new project up at Kerri Bradford Studio last week and completely forgot to hop over here and share. 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.
