Baby Card - Stamp With Laurie

Welcome Little One Card - a baby card with a girl holding a bird nest with a baby bird in it — Welcome Little One Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Welcome Little One Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Avery with Bird Nest. We discovered a bird nest with some robin eggs on one of our outdoor lights. So, I couldn’t resist creating a card around this miracle! I even used a photo of the eggs in the nest on my card!

The Details of My Welcome Little One Card

For my card, I decided to colour with my Copic markers Avery in similar colours to the eggs and nest but went with a bright red hair for all those gorgeous curls!

Next, I die cut the printed photo with a stitched circle die. I used this same die for all three layers of my “nest” so they would line up when layered. The top two offset layers consisted of leaves in two different greens to add dimension. I also added a few sprigs of leaves emanating from my nest.

I used the border leaf die on the darker DSP behind Avery to tie in my theme and make her stand out from the other DSP.

The sentiment was stamped in Balmy Blue, and one end was cut at an angle with my Paper Snips.

Finally, for embellishments, I added three birds from the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds for a bit of sparkle.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline card with this cutie on it. I love how Benji is just hanging out sleeping on his cloud! I coloured him with my Copic markers as a boy, but you can make a girl card or even gender neutral. It’s always good to have a stash of baby cards!

The Pebbles paper that I used had clouds and star constellations in very soft muted colours. Perfect for a baby card!

I decided to use the same scallop mini slimline die for all my pieces including the cloud paper and all 4 layers of clouds.

The stitched cloud dies created a wonderfully fluffy night sky. To frame Benji, I added clouds above and below him with the sentiment on the bottom cloud. Since it is a night sky, I added some star sprinkles around the sentiment.

To add sparkle to the moon and stars, I used Clear Wink of Stella on them.
