Today I made a baby card at my husband's request. Yes, I said it. At my husbands request. He has only asked me one other time to make a card, so I was pretty excited this time, and this one was a baby card! I sent him back and forth a few times to find out the sex of the baby and when he needed the card for the office shower, but once I got the info I needed, I knew exactly which set I wanted to use. I just got the Houndstooth background stamp from Papertrey Ink and thought it would make an adorable baby card stamped in pink. I have the elephant Click Simple template converted to a file I can resize on my cricut, so I resized it to fit on a Mat Stack #1 diecut. I also got to use a Layerz Mat Stack diecut to make a beautiful pink and houndstooth focal point layer. Also used on this card was a cuttlebug swiss dot embossing folder, a double ended banner a sentiment from Baby Button Bits and some pearls for the elephants eyes and cascading out of her trunk. I love the little elephant ear stamped with the houndstooth pattern. I only hope my husband doesn't lose this before the shower next week. I wouldn't put it past him to run out to Hallmark and replace it with something store bought!

Oh wow! This is just gorgeous, perfect for a sweet baby girl!
So gorgeous and adorable! The pink houndstooth is just perfect for that baby card! I can't wait for my houndstooth to arrive!
Wow. This card is just too cute. I never would have thought to use houndstooth for a baby card, but your card is pure genius. Love the soft pink, the embossing, and, of course, the pearls. I guess I'm gushing because I love everything about it. And how sweet that your husband will be bringing it into work. He will be smothered in compliments for you.
