Ahoy! It’s a Boy!

Stampin up nursery necessities baby card
Sail away with this sweet baby boy congratulations card. . . I love this sailboat from Nursery Necessities and it's adorable with Sweet Slumber Specialty Designer Series Paper.  TIP:  Swing the colors to shades of pink and I think it would be darling for a baby girl!
  • I stamped the little sail boat three times on Whisper White card stock, using So Saffron, Ruby Red and Baja Breeze ink.  I snipped out the So Saffron and Ruby Red sails and adhered them to the Baja Breeze image.
  • The "it's a boy!" sentiment was inked in Jet Black Stazon in (my preferred black for crisp black images) and stamped on Baja Breeze. 
  • Using a Paper piercer and Template (Stampin' Up! Crafter's Tool Kit), I added a border.  The image was matted on So Saffron.
  • Buttons were "threaded" with strips of coordinating card stock and attached with Mini Glue Dots (103683).
  • The main image was adhered with Stampin' Dimensinals to a a 3 1/8" x 3 1/8" polka dot square of Sweet Slumber Specialty Paper.  
  • A coordinated stripe pattern from Sweet Slumber follows along with a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" So Saffron card base.
  • The horizontal sentiment consists of Baja Breeze and So Saffron Textured card stock.  TIP:  The Chit Chat "congratulations" rub-on transfers beautifully onto textured card stock.
  • The So Saffron layer was shaped with a Scallop Edge Punch. Ruby Red Brads accent the corners.  TIP:  I used the Paper Piercer and Template to align the brads, too.

Notice something familiar about this sketch? It's last week's Mojo Monday sketch that I inadvertently did again.  Click here for details on the sketch I used.

  1. I just LOVE this, so very cute! Wish I could case it for my daughter whose little boy will soon arrive, but I don’t have the set or papers (sigh)… but I’ll still look and enjoy. It all comes together so beautifully.

  3. I love, love, love this card, Mary! It’s fabulous! Everything comes together so very nicely! 😀

    I have a ton of baby stuff to make these days since it seems everyone around me is pregnant, so I need the inspiration!

    This might be one of my favorite you’ve shared!
