New Baby

Yea, I finally got to make another baby card!  I have been waiting forever for someone to get pregnant so I could try out pretty light colors and plushie things.  LOL  One of my closest friends and faithful blog reader threw a gender reveal party last Saturday (guess who made the decor? hehe).  If you have never heard of a gender reveal party, it’s where they announce the sex of the baby through a cake or something else edible.  Sometimes the parents know ahead of time or wait with everyone else.  My friend opted for the latter.  Such anticipation, I tell you.  But stay tuned for more from the party on a later post.  Let me get to her card so you all can move on with your busy lives.

See that embossed font?  Those are two of the new Lettering Delights Thin Fonts that can be used to write with your favorite pen in your electronic die-cut machine and Make the Cut.  I explain in more detail what Thin Fonts are on my blog post from last Thursday.  This time I went a little more daring, I used my Zig Squeeze & Roll glue pen in place of a pen.  It worked beautiful (if you don’t squeeze it too much before placing it in the holder).  Came out a little thick but it still is soooo cool to use your glue pen in your machine.  Sky’s the limit, I tell ya!

For the inside sentiment, I used one of my favorite sets from one of my favorite stamp companies – My Thoughts Exactly’s More Big Thoughts.  I love the font for the Congratulations.  I love the retro look.  The giraffe comes from the Pun Intended graphic set from Lettering Delights that I made into a cut file.  I only wanted it in two pieces so it was pretty quick to do.  I used a interwoven circle stamp with watermark ink to give a slight pattern to the giraffe.  Kind of makes it look like a stuffed animal.

That’s all for today.  Hope you enjoyed my new baby card.  Love it?  Please leave a comment.  Hate it?  Keep your thoughts to yourselves.  😉
