Hello Friends,

Today's card was definitely designed as a Baby Card, but as I look at it I see that it could easily fit other occasions too.  It could be congrats for any sort of child's accomplishment such as earning a new belt in a Karate Class or getting all A's.  The Zany Zebras stamp set by Stampin' Up! makes such simple and fun cards for both babies or children.

Such a whimsical card deserves a little bling and sparkle, so tucked a jumble of Gold Cord behind my energetic zebra and sprinkled a few sequins to dance across my card.

How to Customize a Card

I chose to use my Playful Alphabet Dies for today's Baby Card for two reasons.

Reason #1-I wanted to make a big bold statement, so I cut "WOW!" from Coastal Cabana Cardstock.  Then, I stamped Congratulations with a stamp from the A Grand Kid stamp set.

Reason #2-I simply wanted to say, "A Grandson" on the inside, but I didn't have a stamp that said what I wanted to say.  To playfully say, "A Grandson", I cut an A using my Playful Alphabet dies, then I picked up a snippet of plaid paper leftover from the front of my card to use as a mat, and finally, I stamped a sentiment that had the word "grandson" in it and simply snipped around the word that I wanted to use.

Hello Friends,

What's not to love about the whimsical Moving Along stamp set by Stampin' Up!.  Today's card is a Baby Boy Card, but the Moving Along stamp set is versatile enough to fit many occasions.  

Sentiments Include

Way to Go!!!

Happy Travels!

Thanks So Much

You're the Best

It's Your Day!

Welcome Baby

Of course, you also have the option of combining the cute train, planes, and cars with sentiments from another stamp set as I did.  The A Grand Kid stamp set works well for not only grandkid cards, but also for grandparent cards.

How to Make An Amazing Grandson Train Car

Stamp the grandson sentiment.  Note:  I did trim the first word off when I fussy cut my train car.

Next, ink the wheels and the train bed with a black marker and stamp below the words.  Hint:  I recommend using the Stamparatus for stamping the train bed so that you can easily stamp the image more than once for smooth dark lines.

Finally, trim around the train bed and words to form a train car.

To create the square frame, I simply cut a square from within the square using the square dies from the Stitched Shapes dies.  See Supply List Below.

Have a fabulous day,

 

Hello Friends,

Have you made your Graduation Cards yet?  Do you like to make Interactive Cards or Cards that move?  Do you enjoy Card Making Videos?  If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you will want to watch the Gift Card Slider Card Video Tutorial below.

Let's think beyond Graduation to Thank You Cards, Retirement Cards, Birthday Cards, and Baby Cards.  You can make all 5 of these Gift Card Slider Cards with the retiring Witty-cisms stamp set (#151686).  This stamp set works for so many different occasions, but it is only available for a short time.  It will be available While Supplies Last or until June 2, 2020, whichever comes first, so scoop your stamp set up before it is gone for good.

The humor in the Witty-cisms stamp set is quirky and fun.  The other retiring product used for all 5 cards is the Best Dressed Designer Paper (#151319).  I love the soft and happy colors in this paper: Lovely Lipstick, Daffodil Delight, Blackberry Bliss, Basic Gray, Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy and Whisper White.

This is a Birthday Card, but I think that the "Lookin' Sharp" stamp could be used for other occasions too.

What a cute Baby Card!  Slip in a Gift Card from you favorite shop and you are good to go.
