One of the members of my Stampin’ Pretty Pals is expecting a baby girl and today’s handmade card is headed her way. Woo hoo! We love our baby Pals.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Primrose Petals has become my “go to” pink. I love the dusty softness and how luscious it looks with Very Vanilla.
- It’s the little things. My very favorite detail of this card is the pinking edge with paper-piercing. The pinking edge was created using the Stampin’ Up! Finishing Touches Edgelits Dies and my Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine.
- One in a Million Stamp set offers coordinating sentiments for the exterior and interior of the card.
- Large Pearl Basic Jewels are a quick way to dress up each of the layered blossoms.

Love the cards and love your ideas! thanks for the inspiration!
This card is so fresh and vibrant. Love it.
I love the new pink too – I think I used it on your pig card. What a great idea for a baby card – I don’t do gushy baby cards. Maybe this is due to fur babies instead of stampin baby pals! Love the pinking on the edge too. I loved the cards you made to show the new colors when they first aired. Is there is a tutorial on the box you made to hold the cards?
Count me in…love your art. TFS such great ideas.
I am always inspired to create when I visit your blog. Thank you!

One in A Million is one of my favorite sentiment stamps. I like the fact that this card does not have any typical baby stuff on it. Very cute and classic.
Flowers… Smart phones can’t spell
I love this card for babies and can easily see it in different colors including multi-colored fliers when you don’t know the babies gender! Nicely done!

I just discovered your blog and I am in love. You make the most beautiful creations (something that I can do and not a feeling of being overwhelmed). I love this monochromatic card and the 3D effect of the layered flowers! Thanks for the chance to win!
?’I’m not a pink girl’, but this color combo and design is wonderful. The result is I can no longer make the prior statement!
How beautiful!! I visit every day and end up saving almost everything that you do! Thanks for all your hard work so that we can drool over it all 😉
How beautiful!! You have the most wonderful projects! I visit every day and end up saving almost everything! Thanks for all that you do for those of us who are obsessed!
Who says baby cards should be pink or blue. This is so adorable.
Everyday at work I sneak a peak at your post to exchange my stress for creative excitement. You are so talented and a pleasure to follow. Thanks for keeping me engaged in the rubberstamoing world.
All the details on your baby card are wonderful! Thanks for the chance to win the gorgeous card pack you created, too! So amazing!!!
Great card, Mary. I always check your blog for inspiration!
What a pretty baby card. I love the primrose petals since so not a fan of the “baby pink” color for girls. You’re right, it does look very soft & pretty with the vanilla. I do love the pinking edgelit. I have bought that set, but haven’t pulled it out yet. Need to do a bit of playing with it, along with my new piercing mats. Thanks for the chance at the blog candy! You always have so many great ideas to share with us.
Hi Mary!
I visit your blog each day! Your cards and projects give my inspiration for my own projects. Thank you for the chance to win.
Wow! Everything about this card is beautiful.I’m loving the new in-colors, too. Your creativity never ceases to amaze and inspire me. What a treat to start my days with your blog. Suzanne
Adorable card! Love your blog…so inspiring!
I like the color contrasts. I can really see the color changes and how well they coordinate together.
Love the card! I would never have thought of using those colors. That’s why I really enjoy following your blog – constantly introducing fresh and different ideas. Thank you.
I love the cards you make! Creativity shows in all of them. I saw the Heart cards and just had to make one for my Husband’s birthday (today). I was looking for an idea and opened your e-mail and there it was. How lucky for me. Stampin-Up is lucky to have you on board and I know you will be a “huge” contributor. Thanks for all you do for us in cyber space.
Love your clean and simple style Mary! LOVE your blog. You are such an inspiration.
I love the baby card. It is so cute!!

You did it again! The card is beautiful and just right for a baby girl. Your attention to detail is above and beyond.
Great job! What a stand-out card :o) I love how the pinked border and that “little something” needed to balance off the flowers on the other end. You think of everything!!! Thanks for the daily inspiration and Congrats to the Mom-to-Be!!
HI Mary,
Love this card. Love the colors too. Love your all your ideas, that is why I joined your team. With all the work with the piercing and my sewing, I would find a cute pink thread and stitch a back stitch in the piercing. I am trying to add the sewing with the SU tools to make them my own. Thanks again for all you do.
Love your blog that’s always full of new ideas and is so inspiring to me. And I’m with you and loving Primrose Petals!

Sweet, simple, elegant! Love, love your style, Mary!
I love the simplicity of your cards. Great ideas.
Love this baby card! How sweet! I visit your blog every day. It’s fantastic and one I never miss!
Your cards have such “creative discipline”, the embellishments never overshadowing the main focal point.
And Stampin’ Up colors and designs match and dovetail which further appeals to my sense of order.
Love all your ideas!
I love the simplicity of this card and how gorgeous it is! Thanks for showing us the color cards when the new In Colors came out. They gave me a MUCH better perspective on what the colors really looked like!
I love the clean look of your cards! Thanks for showing the versatility of these colors!
Thanks for sharing! I love the colors!

I love how you stacked the flower blossoms on this gorgeous card!
What a cute edgelet…and so much nicer than trying to do it straight with my scissors.
Beautiful card for a new tiny pal! Love the new pinking edge and your color combo. Thanks for the inspiration and a chance to win.
Mary – I always love your cards! Simply beautiful!!
I love all your wonderful ideas! You are so creative! Thanks!
I love your graduated color cards. They show how the Stampin’ Up family of colors coordinate and make choosing colors so much easier. Thanks for such a unique example of displaying this feature.
So nice seeing new ideas. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your daily inspiration. I love the creativity you show.
Looooooove Primrose Petals, and I love that you call your stamper babies “Baby Pals” What a cute idea! When I get to open that box sitting in my living room, I have that sizzlit and I think I will cheer my daughter up with this card. We have our 11th Baby Pal in our arms now, and the post-partum blues are singing in her ears. hugs, Celia

Mary, what an “out of the box” idea to use the Floral Fusion die for a baby card! I was expecting baby feet or baby hands 🙂 You are right, Primrose does look great with V.Vanilla! Thanks for sharing, I picked up a few “tips” today, as I always do 🙂
Have a Great day!

Thanks for sharing your talent with us, Mary.
You do so much with such simple materials. I love the way you used basically one color, a tiny layered flower shape, piercing, edge cut. So sophisticated and striking.
I love this card. I really will have to make the layered flowers. Thank you for all you inspiration over so many years.
Absolutely! Love the card. The layered flowers are great. Congrats to the addition of the baby pal… Hope your friend loves the card just as much as I do.
