A Baby Boy Card

          We had a very snowy and rainy but rather mild weekend. The snow quickly melted on the roads and driveways but stayed on the lawns. It’s much colder east and north of here though. My daughter lives near Ottawa and it was -28C overnight. Brrrr. I’ll stay here in Southwestern Ontario.

          I decided to make a baby card with a new die set I bought from Aliexpress. It was so much fun I made one for a baby girl as well. Here is the baby boy card. 

The die set is all the clothes, the bear and the clothesline. Once they were die cut I quickly sponged blue ink over them, keeping it darker near the edge. The only one with extra very small bits is the bear’s face…even the eyes were die cut. I placed the die over the die cut bear and sponged light brown over the paws and ears – wish I had used darker blue like I did on the shoes now but it’s okay. The paper is all from the stash. The top piece was one piece left over from another card so I just taped it to the blue one. To hide the seam I picked off each of those white scallops from a peel-off and glued them against the seam…only took a few minutes and it used up some left over peel-off bits. I cut a slice in each hanger to hook it on the clothesline but I found that rather bothersome – they kept coming off. I did it differently when I made the girl’s card which was much better….to be posted on Wednesday. Once it was all glued together and glued to the card base, I die cut the sentiment twice; glued them together to make them thicker; and then glued it over the card.

          That’s all for a mild Monday, February 10, 2020.

Cheers
