A couple of days ago my younger sister had her baby - a little boy they named Wesson who weighed in at 7lbs 3oz - he's just a tiny little thing!
I went to see her yesterday and got to cuddle the little guy for a bit - man you forget how tiny your kids were!!
And of course I had to make her a card and had a couple little gifties for him as well:
I picked up these little blue sandals and the socks a couple of months ago - they're SO small (this is an A2 card - 5.5" x 4.25" to give you an idea!) so I had to buy them.
I made the card to go with the gift - so I pulled out my The Best sentiment set.
The 'sweet, small & wonderful', 'baby', and 'boy' are all separate stamps. I inked them up with white pigment ink and stamped them onto kraft cardstock. I embossed them with white detail embossing powder (I chose detail because it's finer and the smaller words wouldn't come out as clear if I had used regular embossing powder).
I colored in the 'baby' letters with Copics using B01, B02, B04 and W3. You can check out my post HERE where I did a video showing how I faded the colors the same way I did on these.
I used my Spellbinders Label 11 Die to cut the sentiment out.
I used my CuttleBug Swiss Dots embossing folder on the pale blue cardstock, and added some May Arts Textured ribbon.
I pulled out several buttons from my stash and sewed them onto the cardfront.
On the inside of the card I used one of the sentiments from my Baby Sentiments set - I stamped it onto kraft cardstock with white pigment ink and embossed it with the detail white EP. I then used the largest of the Labels 11 dies to cut it out and adhered it to the inside and that was it!
