SSBC#9 - Oh Baby


This is my favorite kind of card to make, I always love making baby cards.  Today the Serendipity Stamps Blog Challenge is sharing baby-themed cards...all using Serendipity Stamps.  

One day I hope to dress a sweet little grandaughter in a onesie like this...such a cute background pattern using Serendipity Stamps (Calico Background).  I shaded it a bit using copics and added some scalloped trim.  The center image on the onesie is also from Serendipity (Heart Quilt Set).  I had two sons and for 7 years wished for a little girl to complete my family.  When my daughter was born, my sister gave me a beautiful little dress with pearls all over the collar and when I make a onesie card for a girl...I always add lots of pearls.

Now I know everyone loves to make baby cards, and Serendipity has some beautiful baby stamps to choose from.  I hope to see you all play along with our challenge this week...simply make any kind of baby card and use at least one Serendipity stamp or die.  You can win $20 off your next Serendipity order.  Here is a link to the details!

Now is the perfect time to order some Serendipity stamps...from now until April 10th, shipping on all orders over $10 within the continental US are FREE!  It doesn't get better than that.

This is the most awesome onsie. I wish I had one like it when my girls were little. Super creative use of the trim and pearls. Keep fingers crossed that you will be sewing one of these sometime.

So adorable, Cathy! I love the floral design you created for your onesie. And all those pearls are so pretty. I feel so lucky we have five little granddaughters that I can buy things for!! Hope you don't have to wait too long for a chance to be a grammie!
