Baby Cards for the New Fawnie with Caly

- Nancy Krueger 2 Comments

Hi Friends! This is Caly! We’re sharing baby cards for the current challenge to celebrate Kelly and Mike’s baby! I created a card for the challenge kick off using the Little Bundle set and have used it again for two more cards today! This is a fun and versatile set and I wanted to share with you that you can stretch its use with a few different layouts.

My first card is a clothes line card. I love that this set comes with all the little details down to the clothespins! It’s a lot to die-cut but the details are so worth the effort! I started with a background panel that I ink-blended with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink around the border before die-cutting the stitched edge using the Outside In Stitched Rectangles.

I stamped my clothesline with Lawn Fawn Inks (Crunchy Leaf for the beams and Pizza Crust for the clothespin) and colored the images with Copic markers:
Overalls: B21, B95, B99, R22, R27
Onesie: B0000, B00, B02
Socks: BG10, BG13
Diaper: Y0000, Y11, Y15

After die-cutting my images, I adhered everything onto my card panel using foam adhesive to give everything dimension. To finish, I simply placed my card in my stamp positioner and added my sentiments from the same stamp set.

For my second card, I used the images to create a border. I laid out my outermost images on an ink-blended panel the same way I did my first card and used the Outside In Stitched Rectangles to cut a stitched line on the images I wanted to reach the edges of the card panel.

Using foam adhesive, I attached my images all over. To finish, I die-cut the word baby using Oliver’s Stitched ABCs and ink-blended the bottom of each letter with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink and attached them in a wonky pattern in the center of my card.

I hope you enjoyed this set of baby cards! Thanks so much for joining me today!

For each challenge, we will randomly select an entry to receive a $25.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge! By linking your projects to our challenges you will give permission for us to post your work to this blog and our social media sites. Check out the How to Play page for a few guidelines to play along. We want this to be FUN so we’ll keep the rules to just a few!

So let’s see how the Design Team was inspired by this new challenge!

Caly used Little Bundle to create an all-over pattern of cute little baby clothes on her card! She used Scripty Congrats as her greeting!

Joyce used an adorable older set, Plus One to create her beautiful card! She framed the nighttime scene with Puffy Cloud Borders!

Christy‘s card is so adorable and perfect to welcome Kelly’s baby boy when he arrives! She combined Wild for You with scene building images from Critters in the Jungle! The sweet sentiment is from Hello Baby.

Karin also used the sweet critters from Wild for You to create the cutest clean and simple design! She included some cute toys from Rub-A-Dub-Dub, too! I love how she die cut the Oliver’s Stitched ABCs letters from metallic gold cardstock!

Samantha used the umbrella and raindrops from Plus One to create this sweet slimline baby shower card! She trimmed the top with Puffy Cloud Borders and added a Grassy Border on the bottom of this happy design!

Franci‘s card is so charming featuring the Little Bundle clothesline! Cute little baby necessities are popped up on the line and a sweet sentiment and cute birds finish this adorable design!

RAWRSOME and Just Stitching Hearts are a sweet combination on Samantha‘s clever card! She used a sentiment from Hello Baby!

I made a little card for Kelly using Lawn Fawn’s first and one of my favorite baby sets, Plus One! I added the sentiment on a Bannertastic banner and framed the cute stork with a Reverse Stitched Scalloped Circle Window.

Jenn‘s adorable welcome baby card set is quick and easy to make! It even includes a design for twins to double the fun! She used Quilted Backdrop to add sweetness then she added Oliver’s Stitched ABCs and cute little love bugs from Bugs and Kisses! This is a versatile design, just change the colors for a boy or girl!

We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 76 tomorrow!
