Back to Baby
Today I’m sharing another one of those many baby cards I’ll be making. This one is intended for a baby boy. I borrowed this set from my friend, Nancy (thanks, Nancy!). I should be able to get a couple more cards from this set without being too repetitious.
I found another piece in my scrap drawer that I was able to use. Gee, this Cuttlebugged background is from Nancy, too. I don’t have this folder but one day we exchanged a few backgrounds and this one sure came in handy today. I rubbed my So Saffron pad over the cream colored cardstock and sponged the edges with Creamy Caramel.
The lion was masked so I could stamp the giraffe behind him. The lion’s mane and head were stamped again separately and the head is popped up on dimensional tape. I do like these colors for a baby boy card. When I used Caramel and Saffron for the critters I decided to do the whole card in those colors with just a touch of blue. I believe my next baby card will be specifically designed around some of my new papers. After all, I made a special trip just to shop for them.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!
Stamps: Wild About You, Hero Arts sentiment, Posh Impressions grass sprig
Paper: Creamy Caramel, generic cream cardstock, Whisper White, Spring Showers designer paper (retired Stampin’ Up!)
Ink: So Saffron, Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Timber Brown Stazon (sentiment)
Accessories: Ribbon, eyelets, slot punch, Scotch brand dimensional mounting tape
So adorable. Love the color combo and how you made the embossed words pop.
I absolutely love this card! Thanks for sharing!

Super sweet Leslie! When I think about it, this set would really lend itself to a Noah’s Ark themed nursery. Love the pretty colors.

This is so cute! Love the lion in front of the giraffe…brings everything in to a workable size! The colour on top of the embossing is perfect as are all your cards! Love getting your blog in my in box…wanted to take a moment to let you know that your silent subscribers are here and loving all you do!
Leslie, I just love the colors you used for a little baby boy card. I don’t think I have seen anyone mask with the lion in front of the giraffe. Really great idea and I Especially love how you made the mane and head of the lion dimensional and added the dry grass. So happy you were able to use the set and cuddlebug BG. Isn’t it just so much fun to share with such good old friends?!?
Love the way you masked the lion and popped his head–nice job!
This is so totally cute, cute, CUTE!!! Love that set - it makes such great cards, baby and otherwise. How can you not have it, Leslie?! LOL!
Absolutely adorable. love the bugged bg…perfect with those cute animals!
awwwwwwwww absolute sweetness!
You’re killing me with these baby cards — each and every one of them have been absolutely adorable!
Oh soooo cute!! I love what you’ve done with this! The masking and popping the lion!! I love the colors and embossing as well! Wonderful baby card, Leslie!!
What an adorable baby card! As usual your sponging adds a new dimension to the card. Love it!
This is a lovely card! I love what you’ve done with the sponging on the background too. Excellent!
Oh Leslie, this is adorable!!

I think this is the best card ever made with this set! I got this set a while ago and haven’t played with it much yet….but now, you’ve so inspired me = ) !! Love how you cut out the lion head, I’m going to have to try that too!
Wow! all I can say is Wow!!! This is amazing. The colors and elements are perfect. Boy have I missed visiting your Blog. At least now I have plenty of fun stuff to see.
I agree these are great colors for a boy, and I especially like the restrained use of blue. This is soft yet masculine. I really like the “grass” and the eyelets. Another charming baby card accomplished! It’s fun to follow your progress. Linda
I love the colors you used on this card.Mary Grace
