New Baby Card Ideas

Products used: Imaginisce All Kinds of Happy Collection

Instructions

Cut a piece of paper the size of a folded card.
- Ink around the edges in black.
- Cut a piece of ribbon long enough to go around the card and tie in a bow.
- Attach to the back of the paper using DST.
- Sew paper directly onto the card, sewing through the ribbon too.
- For the card sentiments I used a Whipper Snapper Design stamp. Colour in using markers and highlight in places with a white pen.
- Attach all embellishments to the top of the cards: the pink scallop is a painted chipboard (Chippies) which is then lightly sanded and stuck using double-sided tape.

Once everything is in place go around the edges of the paper and lift and tear in places to give an aged look.
