Oh Baby! Baby boy card

It is getting sooooooooo cold here!! It's starting to finally feel like winter. And since I can't stand the heat anymore... I LOVE it!

So today over at www.mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com is  the theme " BABY BOY" So here is my project :)







I LOVE the Baby Steps Cricut cartridge by Provo Craft.  Even though I don't have any children I always think of cute ideas I want to do with these adorable babies.


How I did it..

1.)   I started with a 12x12  white .. i used my Fiskars trimmer  and cut it down to 11" x 5.5"  and scored it in half.

2.) I cut a blue sheet of "Core dinations card stock "at 5.25" x 5.25"

3.) I used the "Baby Boy Nursery" stack from  DCWV and cut the top layer by 5" x5"

4.) I cut out the baby boy at 3.25" on my Cricut Expression and used a Zig Two way glue pen to put him together

5.) I used a light pink chalk on his cheeks ( Made by Peebles )

6.) I faux stitched around his outfit with a white Gel pen

7.)The cloud were made with a scallop punch that is 1.5" around.  I then cut each scallop in half to make clouds.

8.) I Then used My Pink Stamper Stamps for my sentiment. And Tuxedo Black Memento Ink ( Which Rocks!)

9.) And of course I blinged up my card with Diamond  "STICKLES" ( i have a hard time not using Stickles!

I hope you like this card and maybe inspired you to  make one or one like it!

Have a great day!
