A Slice of Life Baby Card

 A couple of weekends ago I shared a card I made with the To A Wild Rose stamp set. When I had finished the set of cards I had a few pieces of cardstock and DSP leftover so I challenged myself to use these scraps to make another card. You can see the original card here. I had recently been gifted some stamp sets and I drew inspiration from this sentiment.

Supplies

1 - 8 1/2"x 11" sheet of Basic White cardstock

1 - 3 3/4"x 3 3/4" piece of DSP

1 - 1 1/4"x 4 1/4" piece of Yellow cardstock

1 - 2 1/4"x 3 1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock

Scrap Basic White cardstock

A Slice of Life stamp set

Layering Love stamp set

Ornate Border dies

Memento Black ink

Daffodil Delight ink

Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine

 

Instructions

Take the 8 1/2"x11" sheet of Basic White cardstock and cut it down to 4 1/4"x11" and score it at 5 1/2" along the long side.

I chose my sentiment from the Layering Love stamp set and with Memento Black ink stamped it on the 2 1/4"x 3 1/4" piece of cardstock. I then took my scrap piece of Basic White and with the sleeper image from the A Slice of Life stamp set I stamped the image in Daffodil Delight ink. I then fussy cut the image. I wanted to keep the hanger but you could easily cut it out.

I then took the Yellow strip of cardstock and with one of the Ornate Border dies I ran it through my die machine.

I then took the square of DSP and only putting adhesive along one edge I centered it on the Yellow cardstock I die cut. I then finished putting adhesive on the back of both pieces. I then center it on the front of the card.

I then adhered the sentiment to the front of the card. I centered it on the DSP aligning it to the right side. I then used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sleeper image to the front of the card.

 

Step It Up

A fun way to step up this card would be to stamp the sleeper in Memento Black and then color in the image with either Stampin' Write markers of Stampin' Blends.

I centered the sentiment on the piece of cardstock but you could easily stamp it closer to the top of the cardstock and use a border die to cut the bottom of the sentiment piece.

Some Baker's Twine would also look very cute wrapped around the piece of DSP.

Now both of the stamps set I used on this card are retired but there are so many awesome stamp sets geared towards doing baby cards in the new catalogue. If you want to recreate this card I highly recommend getting the All for Baby stamp set and if you aren't into fussy cutting then you can get the bundle!

Happy Paper Crafting!
