I’m attending a baby shower for a friend’s daughter on Saturday, so the Card Concept Challenge: New Arrival was so timely.
The expected baby is a boy, so I took my inspiration from the theme rather than the colors. I decided against a sentiment on the front of my Clean and Simple card.
I embossed both the card front and the white layer with Spellbinder’s Star Gazer embossing folder. The images are from Waffle Flower’s Little One Baby set which I colored with Copics and then die cut. I added some dimensional tape behind the baby.
We’re having unusually warm weather with lots of sunshine. Even though it won’t last quite yet, it’s such a welcome change. I’ve managed a bit of crafting between packing and then unpacking all the items on a built-in desk in my office/craft room. The painting is done for that portion of the project, and I took the opportunity to organize and purge my book collections on photography, watercolor, sketching. There are two big bags ready to donate to our library. Like working on the inventory of my stamps and dies (still ongoing), one of the biggest bonuses to this kind of organizing is knowing (once again) what I have!
Such a sweet card, I would never have though to do the stars too.
Adorable card which I’m sure will be received with delight. Thanks so much for joining our challenge at The Card Concept.
This is darling, Karen. It’s so perfect for our challenge and I want to thank you for sharing this with us. We enjoy having you join us and hope that you’ll stop by again soon. What a sweet creation.
There’s a FUN Blog Hop taking place (started today) at Really Reasonable Ribbon if you’re interested. Some great prizes up for grabs. You can find it here:

Sweet card. I am also a fan of the stars embossed in two layers.
Sometimes organizing our card stuff can feel like we’ve been shopping 🙂
Aww, this is super cute … The little sprays of flowers with the birds add a delightful touch. I have no idea how you find time to create AND organize – I’d be thrilled to manage one or the other!
