A Selection of Baby Cards


Today I am sharing a selection of baby Cards. These cards were made for a our great nephew, his partner and the grandparents and great grandparents.
The  personalized layer of this card  was created on the P.C.  I chose a blue text to match the ribbon and my colouring of the image. 
 For the second card I used a stampin' up stamp called two by two. It's a retired stamp now but it's too cute not to use. The background paper I created on the p.c.  The die I used to frame the image is a Spellbinder die from the Elegant Ovals set.
 On this card I used the same  background paper and stamp as above but this time I just changed the shape of the card and omitted the punched lace and ribbon.
 Another Stampin' up stamp,  this is a more recent stamp,  it's  bigger than  Two by Two  above, but it's just as cute.
 For the great grandson card, I used the rabbit from  the stampin' up set called Fable Tales.
I used Copic markers to colour the image. The sentiments on these cards I created on the p.c.

 The image on the card below is a digital image.  This bear is just so cute I had to use it on this card for the grandmother.   I used a retired stampin' up embossing folder to emboss the background.
 Below is a photo of the backing paper I created on the pc,  it looks quite difficult to create but it was surprisingly easy. It took a little time to do but worth the effort.  I don't have any fancy programs on my pc to do this. I am not tech savvy,  I do not have any  special knowledge on creating backing papers. I was just playing around to see what I could do.
I used office publisher's  basic shapes to create the hearts and a stretched out text box to create  a thick stripe and a thin stripe,  then I copied and pasted the two stripes over and over again until I had covered the area. For the spotty bar I created a thin text bar filled the box with a row of very large full stops in white. Then I filled the box with blue. I didn't worry about making everything line up perfectly as I would be trimming it back to fit the card.
I used the rest of the sheet to  type up some sentiments in the same colours.
