Among the best days of our lives are the days our babies are born. Celebrating these births with a card is a must!
This was such a fun card to make, once I made a few decisions. I knew I wanted to spell “baby” using the Hand-Lettered Prose Dies and 6X6 Designer Series Paper. The “B” is Purple Posy, but this die set doesn’t have upper case letters. It looks like a capital “B” to me, so I went with it. The next “b” is Mint Macaron, and “y” is So Saffron.
What about the “a?” Well, somehow, Dog Punch tossed out the “a,” dressed himself in Seaside Spray DSP, and took its place! He said that before babies are born people usually want to get a puppy (must be hormones), so he wanted to be on the card. I saw some truth in that, so I let him stay.
Dog Punch also wanted to sit on a soft quilt, so I made one with Whisper White Cardstock and the Argyle Embossing Folder. I even trimmed the top and bottom with a Be Mine Stitched Die.
In addition, Dog Punch wanted everyone to know he was welcoming the baby, and we found the word in the Well Said Stamp Set. I managed to match it to the scallop edged blanket with a Stitched So Sweetly Die.
All in all, I think Dog Punch had a good idea. Don’t you?
WE both agree it’s a good idea for you to place an order during Sale-A-Bration, because of all the FREE stuff you can get. Plus, if you order a minimum of $50.00, and use my March Host Code JTDHJ36F, I will send you Pearls (140) in April!
Let me know if you’d like to become a Demonstrator for the discount, and the ability to pre-order, without business required. It’s fun being a “hobby” Demonstrator!

What is the capital “B” supposed to be? I see it in the die set but don’t know what it’s for.
Hi Dale, I remember someone identifying it on the demo site, but I didn’t store that it my memory. Sorry
Very, very clever! Makes me wish I had bought that dog punch, even if I couldn’t think of a use for it!
Thank you, Betty! There are many dog lovers, so lots of uses.
So darn adorable. I wish I knew someone with a new baby to CASE your card.
