Using Square Punches to Embellish your Card

Did I tell you that I have some wonderful little grandsons (and a granddaughter too of course)? Naturally for a papercrafter, a new baby means making a sweet new little welcome card. I found a sketch that is so versatile, you can use it for many other occasions than making a new baby card, but on this page it's all about babies, babies, babies!

The card is divided into two. The sketch I used called for a patterned paper on the left and three square embellishments on the right, the two sides to be divided by a fiber.

I started with three little teddy bear stamps on glossy white cardstock and coloured them in with the Soft Subtle range of Stampin' Write markers (from Stampin' Up!) Then I punched the teddies out with a smaller square punch and mounted them on larger punched squares of plain cardstock.

Next I attached a piece of designer series paper to the left hand side of the card front and used individual alphabet stamps to spell out the infant's name. After that I attached the ribbon with double sided tape, or you could run it through a Xyron machine to make it into a sticker.

Finally I mounted the square embellishments to the right hand side with Stampin' Dimensionals to make them pop up off the card.

I have used this technique in making a handmde greeting card but you could also adorn a scrapbook page with little detailed stamps mounted on plain cardstock. Use them as accents or make a whole border out of them. The technique would work if you used different images and colours, or even small photos instead of stamped images.

I hope you enjoyed seeing how I made a baby card 2 welcome a little one into the world and congratulate his parents :)
