Sweet New Baby!

Good Morning!

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! It is Pam sharing one of our recently released baby dies.  And I am pairing it with a new release Expressions Word die.  The baby dies make such sweet cards it is hard for me to give them away!

Design Steps:

1.  Use an A2 white card base.  Cut two pieces of designer paper 5 x 3 3/4 and stagger them then glue  to the front as shown

 2.  Using orange, white, grey and blue DP cut out the Cottage Cutz Stork with Baby

3.  Use copic markers to add highlights and color baby's face.  Glue all the pieces together

 4.  Cut the Cottage Cutz Tea Time Doily out of white card stock and cut DP with the Cottage Cutz Cross Stitched Circle die then glue together

 5.  Put dimensional squares on the back of the stork and pop it to the center of the circle

6.  On white card stock using Cottage Cutz Expressions Plus Sweet die, cut out the word sweet three times and glue them together

7.  Glue the word sweet to the card and stamp new baby in blue ink mat then glue under sweet

I hope you give this card a try.  It was simple and fun plus you could make a girl or a boy baby card just by changing up the papers!

Blessings and Thanks for Stopping By!

Finally adhere this panel on a white card stock which is again bigger than the previous panel.

Now, add ribbon at the base.

Add pink ribbon for baby girl.

For baby boy, Add a strip of vellum on the baby boy ribbon and adhere to base of the card.

Colour them with copic markers.

Congratulations Card - Baby Monkey

I used several techniques on this monkey to maximize his cuteness. First I shaded him using brown and black chalks before putting him together. I raised up his paws with foam tape and rounded his tummy before placing a strip of foam tape down his middle to help retain the baby tummy roundness. He demanded some googly eyes and I happily complied! Then his mouth was traced with a black fine-lined marker so his personality could really shine. I also rounded the balloons and attached them with foam tape to the strings. The balloons are part of this monkey set and I know I'll use them for many other projects. It's always nice when a die is versatile.

For the interior of the card, I nested three stitched ovals, tucked clouds into them and stamped a message in the middle of the top oval. This left plenty of room to write a message to the lucky new parents. The clouds used in this card and the sun came from the Clouds & Sun die set.

Thanks for spending some time with us at the Scrapping Cottage! Don't forget to check out the new release and I'll be back again on the 30th with another new project video.
