Elegant Welcome Baby Card

Hi Dreamers!
What a busy week!!  Oh, and Happy October!!  Wow, I can't believe that it is already October!  Where did the summer go??!!  I have been busy running around getting some errands done, picking out a new truck, visiting with friends, doing a sewing project, and etc.......
Today, here in Dreamland, let's look at this dreamy elegant Welcome Baby card.  This was a special order card for my friend.  Her son and daughter-in-law will be having their first baby soon.  The request was for a baby card that was NOT cutesy.  I think I did good??!!

As you can see, I added some of the papers to the flap of the envelope for an extra special polished  look.

Materials:

CS: Cream, White, Blush Blossom (Stampin' Up retired)

Decorative Paper: Embossed creamy colored paper --This one is from the Bissette pad from SEI

Spellbinders: Circle and Picot Edge Circle

Eyelet Edge Punch

Corner Rounder Punch

Wide Satin Ribbon

Tiny Shell pink Pearls

Sentiment stamps

Instructions:

• Make a top fold card from Cream CS
• Cut and punch the layers:  

1. two strips of White CS with one edge punched
2. two narrow strips of Blush Blossom CS
3. Cut the Decorative paper
4. One large circle from Cream CS
5. One medium Picot Edge circle from White CS 

• Assemble the layers in that order (above list)

• Stamp the sentiment (Sweet N Sassy retired) with black ink on Blush Blossom CS and round the corners
• Add the sentiment to the die cut circles with dimensional adhesive
• Add the pearls 
• Wrap ribbon around card and tie in a bow

 Inside

• On the inside repeat the layers
• Stamp sentiment (Blue Ridge Impressions) on white CS

So, you can do a baby card that is elegant and not cutesy.  Just use soft colored papers and add the embellishments.
