Swaddled Baby Card - Girl

I was at a well-known store recently and thought I didn't have enough time to make a baby card for a gift I had for a friend. So I went into the card section and selected a card with a baby swaddled in a felt blanket that I thought was cute and looked handmade. However, when I got to the till, I was shocked at the price of the card. I have made so many for so long that I didn't realize how expensive they are, even when they are not handmade. It was $7.99! So I politely asked the cashier to put it back and said I'd find the time to make one. That card was for a baby boy and had no frame, no bottle, no googly eyes, no sentiment on the exterior, and definitely no baby headband. I added those touches myself to card, along with the inking and two choices of polka-dot paper used. So I guess this one would be worth at least $10. LOL.

I used my Cricut and my Doodle Charms cartridge for the baby head and bottle. And I used my Cricut to cut the shape that the stamped sentiment is on. I used my friend Katie's ("KDQ") cartridge for the frame. I used Fiskars "Sweet Pea" stamps for the sentiment.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CHOOSE TO LEAVE A COMMENT ON THIS BABY CARD. I ALWAYS APPRECIATE IT.
