It's a Girl!

They say that when you're waiting for a bus for a long time, suddenly three come along at once.  Well I feel a bit like that today.  I've had no time to make any cards during the week..... and I've made three posts today!

My daughter's friend had a baby girl this morning, so this is the card I made for the happy parents.  A friend made a  name banner yesterday for a birthday card she was making, so it gave me the idea to add the name on my card like this.

The pram stamp is a Woodware one, coloured in with Promarkers.  Although I've had a Stampin' Up banner punch for a while, this is the first time I've used it.  I know the alphabet stamps were unused, as when I was looking for some suitable stamps, I came across these in a box which was still sealed in plastic.  I've no idea how long I've had them, but it's a long time!  I really like the font, so I'm sure I'll be using them again soon. I found it easiest to stamp the letters first and then turn the punch upside down to punch out the shapes.  That way I could make sure the letters were in the middle.

    That is a great tip for punching the little banners after you have stamped the initials. I like the name too . Lovely card altogether. Hugs Mrs A.

    Great card Liz - just perfect for a baby girl's arrival. Love the banner and such good advice to stamp and then punch. I do that all the time now too!

    Hugs

    SO much cuteness in one card, Liz! The stamp comes in the patterns, so the pram looks like it was paper-pieced, but it's not? Now that's a fun idea and saves a ton of work! And the banner across and over the top of the sweet embossing is pure perfection with the pram! I agree with you that the font was made to be used with that flag banner punch. I can't believe you haven't used those awesome letters before! (She says, haughtily, as if she doesn't have three sets of unopened alpha stamps!) I think personalizing a card with a name always touches the heart of the recipient ... or, in this case, the parents, but I think Amelia will adore it when she comes across it in the keepsake box her parents will put it in!

    Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #3 again! I really appreciate the support! I hope you have a great day!! Hugs, Darnell

    It's simply adorable. I had to re-read the post, as I first thought you had done some paper piecing on the carriage, but then read you had used pro-markers. Fabulous coloring technique. Love the way you've added the sweet banner to personalize this very special card. I am certain it will go in this little angel's baby book as a lovely memory of her birth. TFS & Hugs

    Hi Liz, well, your wonderful colouring of the pram sure fooled me - I was convinced you'd paper-pieced it until I read your post again! That will teach me to pay more attention. Elizabeth xx

    This is so cute Liz and I love that patchwork look pram stamp and the pretty dots embossed in the background, and the name banner finishes it perfectly. A really pretty card. x
