Precious Baby Boy

Hello there my crafty friends!  I started today's card by cutting the Plaid Background in both white, Sky Blue and Blue Dusk card.  I backed the white one with another piece of white card to use as the base.  I shadowed the sky blue die cut with the Blue Dusk die cut, then cut two side borders out of it.  I backed both of them with a piece of white card that was covered with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled off the backing paper, attached the side borders then sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on them.  I cut two thin strips of sky blue card and glued them down the cut sides of the borders.  I added them to the sides of the card with mounting foam to raise them.  Using the Noble Pierced Stars, I cut them in alternating colours of blue then stacked them and attached them to the centre of the card.  I cut the Precious Little Boy sentiment out of Sky Blue and seated it on a white backing piece then attached it to the top of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

  1. Hiya Sue and everyone that pops in.
    How cute. A precious piece of inspiration with a design for both baby boys and girls, use 2 of the smaller stars for twins or ...... more lol. I love how with just a simple change of cardstock and change of sentiment you have a card for ant celebration within reason.
    Have a good day and love to all xxx

  9. Hi Sue, what a lovely card to welcome in a new baby boy and if you change the colours and sentiment it could also work for older boys who can be quite tricky to make cards for.
