I needed to make a baby card this week for a friend and thought I would participate in the challenge. I made the card and envelope last night and already gave it to my friend. I think I turned out pretty cute! I am going to make envelope wraps again. Easy and it really adds to the card.
I was up way past bedtime making this so I went pretty simple. By the time I was finished my desk was a mess so my pictures are not very good. I just placed the card and envelope on a piece of paper on top of my mess! For the envelope wrap I used a Half and Half die with Melon Berry card stock, Polka Dot Parade #4 and Boutique Borders Baby. I used Chocolate ink although it looks black in the photo.
For the card, I CASE'd a card that Betsy Veldman made last year.
I didn't have most of the supplies she used so I had to improvise. The lampshade is made with the little dress from the Hanging Out dies and the base is the spoon from Comfort Food. The books are Building Blocks which I cut down a little bit. I used Simple Alphabet for the lettering on the spine. Baby's name is going to be June!
I used an old embossing folder for the shelf, a striped background stamp for the bottom half and Wonderful Words Baby.
Your card and wrap are so sweet! I bet your friend will cherish it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of detail in such a CAS card and envelope! I love how you improvised for a lot of the things you needed...I envy that "thinking outside the box"! Great job on both and I know your friend will love them! :0)
ReplyDeleteWendy, I love this baby set! The card is so detail and classy. The matching envelope brings it all together. Whoever gets this set in the mail, will love it.
ReplyDeleteWendy, this is a darling card set! I love how you improvised the lamp using parts from other sets! I also love your books stamped so perfectly. Your envelope wrap matches perfectly. What a fun set!
