Hello Baby Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Hello Baby Card!

Today Ellen is showing how to create a customized baby card that is perfect for a special baby!

To start out, Ellen die cut a photo of the baby using the balloon shape from our Balloon Shaker Die Set. She used the same die set to cut a balloon shape from acetate, a balloon frame from adhesive foam and a balloon frame from colored paper to create a shaker card. She adhered the foam over the photo then added sequins to the center. Then she added the acetate and colored cardstock frame on top. 

Once the balloon was assembled she used our Essential Alphabet Die Set to cut out letters to spell the baby's name. She added these on top of the balloon along with the word "hello" from the Loveable Laundry Stamp Set. She also added the string with a bow, also from our Balloon Shaker Die Set, cut out of gold cardstock. 

Next, she created a card base to add the shaker shape onto. She was inspired by the parents birth announcement for the baby which included green colors and leaves so she used our Falling Leaves Stencil with green colored inks to create a lovely leaf filled background panel. She also cut out a scallop edged frame using our Frames & Flags Die Set from gray cardstock to frame the stenciled panel. 

Here is another look at the final creation with everything assembled:

We hope this fun project today by Ellen has inspired you to think of fun ways to personalize your creations!
