Baby Love!

I love when a challenge fits in with what you NEED to make! Caardvark's current challenge is to make a baby card. I'm so excited with how this turned out!

I used my NEW Tres Jolie papers that I got from QVC. The "baby" title, the plaid paper, and the cardstock scallop border sticker on the bottom of the card front are all My Mind's Eye Tres Jolie. The "welcome little one" is a stamp from Riveting by Stampin' Up. I just got this stamp set from my friend Jana! I used my Coluzzle to cut the circle, and I mounted it on a Cuttlebug ribbon slider. The ribbons are from Michael's. I pulled out some alphabet beads, and I added "Brayden" on a piece of wire, and I sewed it to the card front. I used four new buttons that I just got from Laurie! One of them is on a new Prima (also from QVC). I added a little safety pin to the blue ribbon knot. I just LOVE the way this card turned out! It's for my husband's cousin. Her and her husband are expecting their first baby, and their shower is at the beginning of March. They know they're having a boy, they're naming him Brayden, and they are so excited! We're excited for them!

Thanks for stopping by!

I love that paper, so perfect for a baby boy. Great detail on the ribbon slide {I need to use mine more often} but i really like how you put his name together with those beads. You are going to make their day when they get this card, I see it going in a baby book.

What a sweet card for baby! I can't believe I missed the Tres Jolie paper on QVC! So jealous now! I had ordered the same set of Primas, but I sent mine back - I couldn't imagine what I would use the brights and music notes sets on. You did a great job with it here!
