I have a baby card to share today using products from the November release at Picket Fence Studios.
I started by creating a background with the slimline flowers stencil and my Life Changing Blender Brushes and Distress Oxide inks. I coloured the cute little baby image with a mixture of copic markers and Derwent pencils to give the pale, no-line colouring look. I cut the squares out of a panel of white cardstock to fit over the slimline card base (I made them wonky, mainly because I need practice lining them up nice and straight!) and finished with a little sentiment that I tucked into the bottom edge of one of the square windows.
Thanks for visiting :)

Happy Friday Picket Fence Stampers!
Becky Roberts here from Inking Idaho with a pretty little baby girl card.
To get the onesie shape I made a few cuts. Start with a 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of cardstock. Fold in half like you would for a regular card.
1. Sleeves: Measure on the sides of the card where the sleeves will go, from the top corners down to 1-1/2". Make a tiny pencil mark. From that pencil mark measure 3/4" in towards the chest. Cut on that 3/4" line.
2. Sides: From that cut 3/4" line, use a ruler to draw a line diagonally to the bottom corners of the card and then cut on that line.
3. You now have a onesie with sleeves. Use a corner rounder on the sleeves to round and soften the sharp corners.
4. Legs: I used a 1-1/2" circle punch to add the leg holes. After you make the punch, use your scissors to slightly straighten the crotch area so it look more like how the leg holes should look.
5. Neck: I used the same hole punch to create the neck opening.
6. Now it is time to decorate.
Rose Stencil
Sleeping Baby Stamp Set
I stenciled the roses and leaves onto the light pink cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks and the Life Changing Blender Brushes.
I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock measuring approximately 2-1/8" x 1". I hand cut the tag shape and punched a hole to attached to the ribbon sash.
Add jewels, pearls or little buttons to the top.
Have a lovely weekend, friends - stay safe out there!

Welcome Baby Girl with Karen Reategui
by Karen Reategui on Apr 02 2020
Hello friends! Today I’m over Picket Fence Studios blog sharing how I created this baby card. I’m featuring the Sleeping Baby Stamp and Die and the Fancy Flourish Stencil.
Let’s begin! This card was very easy to create. I stamped the Sleeping Baby stamp using WOW! Embossing Pad and heat embossed it with WOW! Rose Glintz embossing powder. This color of embossing is very similar to skin color so I thought it would be perfect for this baby.
Then, I colored the baby using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and die cut it with the matching die. Also, using an oval die I die cut a piece of pink cardstock, placed the Fancy Flourish Stencil on top and applied white ink. I adhered this piece of cardstock to a white card base using glue.
Next, I wanted to create a baby comforter and I was inspired by my little daughter’s comforter she used for her crib. I had this wonderful ruffled ribbon long time ago and thought it was perfect for the comforter. I cut three pieces and glued them to my background, one on top of each other.
Finally, I added the baby using foam tape and heat embossed the sentiment using WOW! Metallic Gold Embossing Powder and placed it on top and this card was finished.
Hope you can get some inspiration with this card. You can change the colors and the ribbon for a baby boy card too. Have a wonderful day!
Karen
