Bundle of Joy

Hi there!  Today I'm excited to share this super cute baby card I made for my friend Jen, who just had her son a few weeks ago!  I have to give a little side story first- on Saturday I got the mail and there was a package addressed to me from Clear and Simple Stamps.  I was totally perplexed because I hadn't ordered anything.  When I opened the package, there was a note saying the contents were a thank you for buying their products throughout the year- what an unexpected surprise that was!!!  Enclosed was this limited edition stamp set and coordinating die:

As soon as I saw how versatile the set was, I knew I had to put that die and "bundle of joy" sentiment to work.  I used this week's Sweet Stop sketch for the layout:

I used lots of Papertrey Ink dark chocolate cardstock and super cute papers from Doodlebug's Snips and Snails 6x6 paper pad.  I LOVE Doodlebug, they've remained one of my favorite companies since I first discovered them years ago!  :)

I stamped the sentiment on a hand-cut banner and layered it over the die-cut.  A couple of buttons draw the eye upwards and some Doodlebug twine finishes off the card.

I hope you like this card and a special thank you to Nicki and Reenee at Clear and Simple Stamps- you really made my day!!  :D

Thanks for stopping by!
