Boo Baby Card

Here's a baby card I made for Leah (her shower was yesterday (what fun!) I used the papers from her shower invitations and another of the Boo Bears fom Go Kreate available at The Scrapping Cottage. I usually prefer to make my own shaped cards using Design Studio but thought that this carriage from Wildcard would combine nicely with Boo. It also had the added plus of a matching envie. I used the "Boo for You" die and cut him once out fully and a second time with just his head. Inside I cut an oval from the mat with my Nesties and outlined it with the cut out scalloped oval so he wouldn't look like he was just floating in there. (and it matched the invitations.) He is positioned so his body doesn't show from the front but his head would be in a good positon for another head to be popped on as if he's peeking out of the buggy. It bothers me that there are no shadows on Wildcard so I cut the carriage body slightly smaller, cuttled it with the larger dots folder from the Baby cardmaking combo and popped it on the front. Alpha Beads spell out welcome.

The rattle is also from the Wildcard cartridge with a "lil guy" epoxy sticker on top. The inside embossed heart and "blessings" is also Cuttlebug. Thank heaven I had a leftover piece of matching blue scalloped card stock for the back. I realized Leah still had my threading water punch so I adhered that to the cut back of the card. This did make it a bit larger than the original so to accomodate the extra size I cut the envie 1/8" larger than I cut the card. I would have liked to cut it larger still but 6 1/8" was as large as I could go on the mat. It still managed to close though so I was a happy camper.
