Pregnancy – 10 Minute Card Idea

October 29, 2021 Leave a Comment

One card theme I don’t visit a great deal is babies, and even less frequently, pregnancy. I found that I didn’t have sentiments that I liked, so I was excited to see the One Happy Family Stamp Set in the 2021/22 Annual Catalogue. “You made a little human!” is probably one of my favourite sentiments, but “the happiest reason for feeling rotten” also caught my eye. So when I was working through my recent 24 cards in 24 hours marathon I was determined to use the One Happy Family Stamp Set. This card was the result and all it took was 10 minutes.

Simple pregnancy card created using the One Happy Family and Nature's Beauty Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

NATURE’S BEAUTY

I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut and score some Thick Basic White Card. Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder to create my card base.

For my background I used a Blending Brush to cover the front of the card base with a layer of Balmy Blue ink.

Next I cut a 2″ x 5-1/2″ strip of Thick Basic White Card. Over towards the left I used Crumb Cake ink to stamp the rabbit from the Nature’s Beauty Stamp Set. Then with Paper Snips I cut gentle curves along the top edge of the strip and around the top of the rabbit. With that done I used a Blending Brush to colour the ‘ground’ with Old Olive ink.

By this point I’d decided to make the rabbit the coordinating feature of the project. So I stamped it in the bottom left corner on the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope. Then I did the same thing on a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White Card.

Finally, along the bottom edges of the envelope and card I added Old Olive ink with the Blending Brush.

With these pieces done I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) to fix the Basic White layer inside the card base. All that was left was the sentiments.

PREGNANCY +

From the One Happy Family Stamp Set I chose two sentiments. “Pregnancy” came first, stamped using Tuxedo Black ink onto the front of my card base towards the top left corner.

Next I needed the second part of the sentiment, “the happiest reason for feeling rotten!”. Using Tuxedo Black ink once again, I stamped it onto the ‘ground’ on the fussy-cut strip.

Finally, using Stampin’ Dimensionals I attached the strip to the bottom edge of the card base and my project was complete.

This was such a quick card to make and the design can easily be turned into a card for any occasion. Simply change the sentiment for any other you have.
