Card of the Week: Baby Girl, Baby Boy

When I come up with a design for a card that I really like, I use it as much as possible and simply change the paper and embellishments from one card to the next to suit the person I am giving the card to. I first told you this little tip of mine when I showed you the cards I made for my grandparents' birthdays (click here to see their his and hers birthday cards).

Well, this week I was up to my old tricks, but this time I made baby cards. 

One to welcome a little girl:

Card Base: Recollections; Patterned Paper: Recollections; Cardstock: Bazzill; Rub-On: American Crafts; Ribbon: my craft stash; Stamps: I don't remember; Doodle Pen: Inkssentials; Ink: Ranger Inks; Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives, 3D Foam Squares

And one to welcome a little boy:

Card Base: Recollections; Patterned Paper: Recollections; Cardstock: Bazzill; Rub-On: American Crafts; Ribbon: my craft stash; Stamps: I don't remember; Doodle Pen: Inkssentials; Ink: Ranger Inks; Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives, 3D Foam Squares

Same design. Some of the same paper. But different colors of cardstock to suit either a boy or a girl. 

Oh, I do want to point out something else. If you've been reading my 'card of the week' posts for a while now, you may notice something else about these cards, something a little unusual for me. That's right, I used stamps, something that I don't use that often. These animal stamps worked perfectly for these baby cards, and I had them on hand from when my girls were babies and I made thank you cards for people who gave us baby gifts.

So now I have two more cards to add to my stash, ready for when a new babe arrives and a proper welcome must be made.
