Created this Baby card using Baby Steps Cricut cartridge and a sketch for 2 Sisters Challenge.
Used DCWV cardstock including Nana's Nursery baby Girl & summer cardstock stack for all the layers on outside & inside. Cut the MoonBaby1 at 2" & Rounded Stars 1 3/4" real dial size. Embossed the Cloud & Moon with Cuttlebug D'vine Swirl embossing folder. Added pink glitter to the Baby's bow. Hand calligraphy of 'twinkle, twinkle, little star ' on larger star. Added glitter to the large star edge & to the entire ares of the small stars.
Decorated the inside of card using same DCWV pink cardstock, Nana's Nursery Baby Girl cardstock, 2 stars & a Spellbinder die banner. Stamped sentiment on the banner. My TIP is: Finishing the inside of the card makes for a much prettier card.
Photographed the card with my pink crocheted blanket. The blanket is the first ever blanket I crocheted in the 1970s & still have. When I first learned to crochet I learned the granny square pattern and did not want to make squares & have to join so I kept going around & around. The blanket fits over our queen size bed. It has held up wonderfully over the years.

This is so sweet, and I love the crocheted blanket in the photo too. I love crocheting. :) Janis
ReplyDeleteThank you. The crocheted pink blanket is the first blanket I crocheted and still have. it has held up nicely. When I was learning to crochet I learned the granny square pattern and did not want to make squares and have to join them so I kept going around & around using the granny square pattern. The blanket fits over our queen size bed.
