Waltzingmouse Stamps Presents: Nordic Baby


Did you enjoy yesterday's previews? It's Day 2 of the Waltzingmouse Stamps April Release Previews. We're going off the masculine themed set today and featuring Nordic Baby. It's a small baby set that you will absolutely adore.


The background stamping I did on this card is actually made from yesterday's preview stamp set, My Kind of Guy. As you can see, even if it is a masculine themed stamp set it's versatile enough to be used for other themes.

 I stamped the baby booties and hand cut it. I also hand cut the little circle embellishment and added it on top of the booties. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of vintage cream cardstock. I also added a strip of lace, tied some baker's twine over it before I adhered the booties.



For my second card. I made a Welcome Baby card as well as a banner. I was inspired by this photo from Pinterest and wanted to recreate the beautiful pattern on the banner.


Here's what I came up with. As I was making this post, I just realized that I should have used a gray background for my photo as well!!!! Argh! But since I'm on my vacation I can't really do anything about it. So here it is...


What do you think? Isn't the resemblance striking? I love it! :)
I used the patterned circle image from Nordic Baby and added the star from Join Us. I used the same pattern to make the banner as well as the background image of my card.
  
I dry embossed a strip of kraft cardstock and then heat embossed the sentiment on the bottom. I stamped the booties and hand cut them similarly to my first card. For this one though, I punched a circle through the top so that I could add the baker's twine.


There you go! That's all I have for today. I'll be back again tomorrow for more cards. In the meantime, why don't you head on over to the other DT girls for more inspiration.

  9. Wow! Both your cards are so pretty. I love the pink scallop border on the first one and you would never guess it came from a masculine set. Your version of the banner looks just like the photo. Good job.
