Some friends of ours are about to have their first baby. I'm so excited for them. I'm going to their baby shower tonight and I needed to make a card.
They already know it's a boy, so that's why it's all blue. It's difficult to see, but on the square blue layer I stamped different phrases from the Nursery Necessities stamp set. I rotated through four different phrases--It's a boy!, So happy for you!, Welcome little one, and Little cutie. I thought I was doing such a good job stamping them in a straight line.....until I added the yellow squares on top and saw how crooked they truly were!
Every layer on the card is attached with dimensionals. It adds a lot of depth to the card. I also had a lot of fun with my paper piercer.
I tried something new for the ribbon too. I threaded it through the large oval. First I punched out the large oval and then stamped and punched out the small oval. Next I put the small oval on top of the large oval and traced around it. I used my horizontal slot punch and punched two holes inside the traced line like this....
Then I threaded my ribbon through it (making sure the pencil lines were on the back) like this...
I added dimensionals to the back of my small oval and stuck it on top. I guess I made an oval punch ribbon slide!
