Baby Boy Cards


I made a couple of cards this weekend to congratulate new parents and grandparents on the arrival of a new bundle of joy. I decided to keep things fairly monochromatic in hues of blue . 

Supplies Used: 
  • White Cardstock (Recollections, Michaels 110 lb)
  • Pale Blue 12x12 Glitter Paper ( Recollections, Michaels,  Holiday Glitz and Glitter Stack)
  • Light and Medium Blue 12x12 Cardstock (Craft Smith, Michaels Blues Stack) 
  • Baby Boy cut file (Silhouette Online Store Design ID #17765)
  • Onesie cut file (Silhouette Online Store Design ID # 59708


Misc: 
  • Gold paper scrap
  • Heart punch
  • Washi Tape
  • Adhesive ( I live for my tape gun)
  • Paper Cutter
  • Silhouette Cameo 3
  • Foam tape
Instructions: 
  • Using paper cutter, cut and score white cardstock to 5x7  card
  • Cut blue glitter paper panel to 4.75 x 6.75
  • Cut pale blue cardstock to 4.25 x 6.25
  • Layer glitter and pale blue panels as shown. 
  • Add washi tape to opposite corners as shown
  • Download, size, cut "Baby Boy" and "Onesie" images. 
  • I cut sets of images from the glitter paper and from the medium blue paper. I like giving images a little bit of a shadow by layering them. I find this gives them some depth. 
  • Mount cut  images to card panels using foam tape
  • Punch heart from gold scrap and mount to center of onesie






I made matching panels for the inside of the card but forgot to take a pic when they were blank. You can see a little peeking out from the card that's laying down.
