Ahhhh! Sweet Baby!

When I first saw the adorable new Baby Stamp set called Baby Prints in the Occasions Mini Catalog, I knew that I had to have it. It has such adorable little hand and footprints -- how cute! It's hard to believe that my little baby girl turned 12 years old just a week before Christmas! Where does the time go? These adorable images are perfect for scrapbook pages, baby cards, baby announcements, shower invitations ... anything baby!

 

And I thought this was the perfect set to use for this week's Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge!

 

Here's all the supplies I used for this card: Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White Cardstocks, Nursery Nest Designer Series Paper, Designer Button, Calypso Coral Baker's Twine, 3/8" Satin Pleated Ribbon in Pink Pirouette, 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Eyelet Border Punch, Pretty in Pink Classic Ink and Stampin' Dimensionals.

 

Here's my measurements for this card:

1. Layer One -- Pear Pizzazz Cardstock cut at 5.5 x 8.5", scored and folded to make the Card Base
2. Layer Two -- DSP cut at 1.5 x 4" (on the bottom)
3. Layer Three -- Whisper White cut at 1 x 4" -- punch bottom edge with Border Punch
4. Layer Four -- DSP (coordinating pattern) cut at 4" square (on the top)
5. Layer Five -- Pear Pizzazz Cardstock cut at 2.75" Square
6. Layer Six -- Whisper White Cardstock cut at 2 5/8" Square
7. Inside of Card -- Whisper White Cardstock cut at 4 x 5.25" - stamp as desired (I stamped part of the footprint image in the bottom corner)

 

 

Well, that will do it for today. I hope you enjoy using this adorable new stamp set, Baby Prints!

This stamp set is so realistic I thought they had to have been made from someone's actual prints! Am currently working on earning them free with my next workshop. I have grandbaby #11 on it's way in August. Surely I can earn them by then don't you think? Sweet, sweet card Gretchen and I'm hoping it's an omen that we're getting a girl this time! LOL
