These adorable baby boy birthday cards are part of my Birthday Card Kit class. They use the same cardstock and accessories, one is just a vertical layout and the other landscape. Substitute the blue to pink for a girl or purple or green.
Stamps
- Bundle of Joy (retired, but still one of my favorites!)
- Sincere Saluations (one of my favorite greeting sets)
Inks
- Blissful Blue
- Chocolate Chip
- Creamy Caramel or Close to Cocoa
Paper
- Designer Series Paper from a retired baby boy Simply Scrappin' Kit.
- Bashful Blue
- Barely Banana
- Whisper White
Stampin' Up! Accessories
- 1/16" Circle Handheld punch
- Soft Subtles Brads (green)
- Crystal Effects
- SNAIL adhesive
- Stampin' Dimensionals
- Blender Pen
Instructions
- Stamp the bear and giraffe in Chocolate Chip ink and then use a blender pen to color with Creamy Caramel or Close to Cocoa. Then cut them out.
- Then place on a piece of scrap paper and cover it with Crystal Effects. Set aside to dry for quite some time. I normally do this at the start of a workshop and it is dry and ready to assemble by the end of the workshop (just to be sure it is completely dry).
- Adhere layers of card stock. Pierce 3 brads in lower right corner and then adhere those layers to card front.
- Stamp greeting in Blissful Blue and layer greeting. Adhere greeting to card front.
- Adhere animals to card front with Dimensionals.

It's that time of year --- lots of people expanding their families and expecting little ones. Congrats to all of you who are!
Although this set, Bundle of Joy, is retired, it is one of my favorite baby stampsets. However, you can use any baby stampset you may have and substitute the giraffe and little bear.
This card was designed to be generic so you can give it to a mom who's expecting a baby boy or baby girl!
