Morning Everyone,
This the card I made for my younger daughter's first baby. She had her by caesarian as baby had turned the wrong way, both doing well. The interrupted sleep at night is a bit of a shock to her and her boyfriend, but everyone has to go through it and it will only get better eventually (hopefully) :) .
When I saw the Bundle of Joy dies from Honey Bee Stamps on the Dies to Die For website I knew I wanted to have a play. I had a big search through my snippets to find patterns small enough for baby clothes and this is what I came up with. I think they are all from LOTV pads apart from the pink set of trousers on the left. The coat hangers and hooks were cut 3 times and glued together for strength. I coloured the bindings on the two pieces on the right with copics and the white frills on the green piece with a white paint pen.
The Congrats die is from Creative Expressions and the smaller piece underneath was created on the computer.
Photo of snippets, some before cutting and some after. The lilac one was an afterthought so not in the photo.
I would like to enter:
Aww this is a gorgeous new baby card, clearly made with love doing all that die cutting with your snippets. Congrats to your daughter & her boyfriend on their new addition. Glad everyone is doing well despite lack of sleep!

What an adorable new baby card Lynne! Perfect choice of snippets for the daring baby clothes too. It's clear that a load of love went into this card. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the new parents and welcome to the World little one!
Ha, ha - I bet that you'll be spoiling her! There's usually a special bond - and I think it's down to the generation gap, as well as the fact that you can give them back! It was the same with my Grannies - small doses!
