Today’s Kreation titled "Welcome to the
World" was made for a co-worker. Come late September, a bouncing
baby boy will be born.
Today we are having a "baby shower" for her over the Noon
hour. I wanted to give her a handmade card to go along with my gift
to her.
A while back, I found a miniature bath tub tin that held little yellow
duck mints.
The colors on the tin reminded me of Stampin' Up!'s Baja
Breeze and So Saffron. With that inspiration, I chose my color scheme and created my card.
The base of this card is Baja Breeze randomly stamped using the star
from the "Just Jawing" stamp set. I added some Basic Grey
designer paper along the bottom from the Oh Baby Boy! collection.
Along the top of the designer paper, I adhered a piece of Stampin' Up!
So Saffron cardstock, again stamped with the stars. This piece got the
scalloped edge treatment.
I recently purchased this new wide double stitched ribbon in Baja Breeze
from Stampin' Up! and thought this was the perfect addition for this
card. Atop the ribbon is the main stamped image from "So Many
Scallops" - Sale-a-Bration collection 2008.
I hope she enjoys this card - I got the new baby a little yellow outfit
covered in dots and ducks. I packaged it all in a rubber ducky themed
gift bag and added the little bath tub mints to the top of the tissue
paper. Now I wished I had photographed the gift set... but you'll just
have to picture it in your head.
