stamper, Pat Smethers. She has just had or very close to having her first grandchild...a baby boy.
I am showing the inside of the card because I just love what it says. I have a baby sticker with this quote and
can't part with it. I actually bought it when I was scrapbooking and was going to use it when I had grandchildren. I never scrapbook anymore, though. I still want to use it in some way. I used a Fancy Tag by Spellbinders and computer generated this one. To frame the sentiment, I am using the outside of the die cut from the square scallop on the front of the card.
My card is fairly simple using some paper I bought sometime ago at a scrapbook store and adding what I am calling rick rack using a zig zag chain punch. At this same store, I found those these tiny buttons. They are perfect for baby cards and they were also in pink and white. Wish I had more, but the scrapbook store has closed, unfortunately. I embossed my image..stamped in Frost White ink. I just love the sweet image.

This is the most darling little baby card with those teeny tiny blue buttons and soft, embossed image! I love the colors and especially the sentiment inside. Fabulous!!
too cute, thanks for joining us at FnF :)
This is so sweet! I love the embossed image and the zig zag with those adorable buttons! That sentiment is priceless!
What a pretty baby card Benzi...I love the dotted swiss embossing with the gingham it says baby to me. A wonderful sentiment! :) Have a great weekend.
Oh, WOW, Benzi!! What a beautiful card. I just love the entire blue and white scheme. The white embossing on baby blue is fantastic!! And I love how you used that zig-zag die. I can see why you won't part with your sticker with that wonderful quote! The inside of your card looks beautiful. :)
Benzi, this is so sweet! Love all that pale blue. You asked me about tight-mats on my blog....I either trace with a pencil (!) around the die, then cut it out with scissors...OR I use the Xacto knife (which doesn't seem to cut all the way thru the CS) to go 'round the die, then follow up with scissors. I know; not a perfect solution. BUT something you should definitely do after cutting out the piece is to use a nail file or other type of filing block to smooth all those rough edges. I think that really does the trick. Good luck, and let me know how it works. :)
So cute! I love the rick rack! Thanks for joining us at Tuesday Throwdown! We hope to see you again next week!
