Hi there blog friends, the day got away from me, but at least there was a sweet diversion. My sister called me and we did a little bit of catching up and my daughter was home. I am still working on some deadlines but I guess I always post at odd hours. At any rate, I took a moment to finish up a card that I started earlier. I’m thankful to be adding a baby card to my stash and in reality I need a couple more. Is it just me or is it easier to do them ahead of time instead of an hour before the shower? The sentiment I’m using is a new one from Quietfire Design called A Baby is Such a Beautiful Way; it’s simply precious. You know I’m partial to dressy, elegant cards and that sentiment surely fits the bill.
I’m using a MS Punch for the border and corners and I defaulted to those lovely Girls Paperie papers. After I punched the border I thought it would be a shame to mount it on cardstock and lose some of the loveliness of the pattern so instead I adhered a card base to the back that is longer in the back than it is in the front. It gives the illusion that it’s floating.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Quietfire Design – A Baby is a Beautiful Way Paper: Xpedx Brilliant White Cardstock, The Girls Paperies Ink: Colorbox Chalk – Pink Pastel Accessories: MS Punch, Pearls, Recollection Rose, Button, Recollection Resin Rose, Hand dyed Rose Seam Binding, Pink Corsage Pins |
Hard to believe June is already here, but it is. Yikes it’s one of the busiest months in the year for me and I already know it’s gonna get crazy. Hang in there, okay? See you soon!
Hoping you can hang in for this very busy month for you, Becca :o)
LOVE your card!! It is gorgeous in everyway. I love the papers, all the borders, lace and lovely flower you have made.
Hugs, Candy

Oh it´s sooo beautiful Becca. I love this one, it´s sooo girly and cute. Really an awesome babycard, that any new mum would just love to get, that´s for sure.
Gorgeous card! And, no one does dressy & elegant better than you (my favorite, also)! Love those frames, the paper, everything.
Very pretty, I used to work my best “under the gun”, but lately I’ve been trying to put less stress in my life! I don’t need to make things harder than they need to be….
Wow Becca………absolutely gorgeous…..AGAIN! You soooooo inspire me!

Beautiful card Becca. Love the colors. That MS punch just “makes” the card stand out! Awesome!

This is just gorgeous, I love it and of course pink is my favorite color. I did make a card using your mitered corner punch, it’s on my link I left with this. Thanks so much,
Becca,
So gorgeous. Love your “floating” border pieces. And that sentiment …One of the most precious I have seen. You make it all fit together just perfectly.
This card is simply gorgeous! What is the name of the MS punch??
What a precious card for a baby!
Have a nice day.

Becca:
This is the prettiest baby card. I love the embelishments. Such talent
Becca,
Another stunning card. That sentiment is fabulous. I love, love, love it!
Just found your site recently and glad I did, am so enjoying your work. Keep well. Linda
STUNNING BABY CARD BECCA!!!!!!!! Wow did you ever make me smile and want another baby…….well maybe not another baby, maybe another grandbaby. Way too old for ME having any babies. Yikes. LOL LOL I just love the softness and beautiful arrangement of the dies u used plus the pins added a uniqueness I really like. Great job Becca. Hugs. God bless.
What a pretty card! I love the quote you chose! Hugs, antonella :-)
Sweet looking baby card! Love the lacy look to the mats. I’m just going to have to break down and get some of those MS punches with the corners.
Love the use of the MS punch and love the sentiment. Beautiful card.
What an absolutely gorgeous baby card! So soft and delicate and I love the way you did your border pieces. Another Winner!!
Hi Becca ~ this card is so very beautiful, each card is more gorgeous than the last. Your site and a coffee start my day nicely. Thank you for sharing. Blessings.
Oh, Becca, what a beautiful baby card – so delicate and lacey looking! Absolutely LOVE all the punched elements (and, the sentiment). Just a thought – but, could you maybe think about posting what size your final cards are? Thank you for sharing with us.
You never cease to amaze me. You have such a wonderful talent. The card is beautiful and so delicate. Have a great day.
Just Beautiful!
Thank God for family what would we do without them. Your card is a layered beauty. Love the colors used. It’s a lacy, feminine card. Just so very sweet. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
YOu have created the most beautiful baby card that I have ever seen!!!
I may have to case it so I will be ready in case anyone I know decides to have a baby!
Incredibly beautiful!
SOOO VERY PRETTY!!!!!! I LOVE doing baby cards too!!! ACTUALLY, I LOVE making ANYTHING for a baby!!!!! :)
As to your posting “late,” SOMETIMES, it’s NICE to have those little interuptions in life, just to sit & visit with special people in our lives, even if they’re people you’re with every minute of every day!!!!!!!!! :)
Wow- this is stunning- and in my favorite color too!!! You are a daily inspiration to me- Thank You!!!
Different and beautiful. Where do you get all your ideas? Where ever it is, you make great cards. Edna
The beauty of your card nearly took my breath away . . .
There you go again! Beautiful! Your mind is like a beautifully organized, well maintained museum of inticate lace, florals, ribbons, bows, words, and delicate colors. I look forward each day to seeing what is the newest! Your videos are wonderful. I checked out one last night about pearls…one also on the flag and the festive banner. Those accordian folded items are hard to adhere. They are tricky! They like to “spring” back into their original flat shape! (LOL) Thanks!
Simply elegant. Enough said. Enjoy your visit with your daughter.
Love the punched borders! Gorgeous.
Becca, your card is awesome! Just when I think your cards can’t get any more gorgeous; they do! You are my inspiration! Thanks so much for sharing. Have a blessed day. Hugs, Sarah
Becca – whoever receives this card should frame it for the baby’s room – it is a piece of art!
What a beautiful card! The lacy floating edge is spectacular.
This is stunning, Becca! Love the bordered panels and the light and airy feeling of this gorgeous “welcome baby” card. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Gorgeous card, Becca…there are those papers again…I love ’em! Where do you buy them, I can’t find them in my area…Thanks
Love the card as there’s a newborn in my family. Especially love what you did with the flower. Very current, up-to-date embellishments which I love to see on cards.
How sweet! A card which will be treasured to be sure. Love that sentiment.
Blessings Bernie
Such a lovely way to welcome a new little person and I love the sentiment.
Gorgeous card. I really need to learn how to make these beautiful cards with a punch. TFS {{Hugs}}
another beauty, thanks so much
Lovely as always Becca! TFS
What a gorgeous card and love the sentiment. Glad you had a chance to share this with us today.
Your card is absolutely striking! Love the pink&
& am sure it would be the same in blue. you are so talented and full of creativity.
What a lucky new mommy and baby to get this, oh-so-pretty card. It’s truly lovely.
I love this card! I’m going to keep my eyes open for this punch. My Michaels takes forever to get anything new on the shelves so it is hard to find anything unless I drive two hours. Also, where do you find your pearl corsage pins? I love the pink ones and I haven’t been able to even find the white pearl pens. Love the sentiment, paper, etc. Your cards are amazing!
Such a beautiful card – and love the sentiment :o)
Hugs

I too am wondering about the MS punch which is perfect with this special card. Take it easy Becca…..you don’t have to get it all done at once. ;)
You’re right. It’s easier to have the cards done ahead, but then the card never fits my idea of what I wanted when the time comes. Beautiful card. I love the colors.
Oh how much like me….just putting the card together an hour before the shower…lol…I hear it is much easier to do ahead of time but still haven’t had that lovely experience…usually I loose track of time and the event is here and I of course am not ready…lol…Beautiful card.
It’s your fault I keep buying punches…LOL! That’s OK…it’s all good! Your card is absolutely gawjuss…Smile….Hugs…
Becca, this is gorgeous. Love all the pink and the pretty borders! The flower is lovely. :o)
This is just gorgeous, I love it and of course pink is my favorite color. Especially love what you did with the flower. Love the punched borders! Gorgeous!!!!!!
This card is so beautiful. Love the colors. The flowers and lace set it off so well. Thanks again for sharing your talents.
I so want to be you. . . .what a gorgeous card!!! I love your work and can’t wait to see what your newest creation are. WOW is all I can say!!! Such a pretty pink card and love the embellishments.
Thank you so very much for sharing with us.
Absolutely beautiful. I love all the detail!!!
Absolutely beautiful. I love all the details !! God has blessed you with a wonderful gift of creativity. I love visiting your site every day. Thank you so much for sharing your work.
What a wonderful card & if it’s a boy it can be done in blue as well.
I love this card it is so elegant, Beautiful!
Another beautiful card – I love this effect! Can’t wait to try this layout out – Thanks!
Wow…seriously this is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen.
You make such beautiful cards! Wish I could be as creative. You are an inspiration to me.
God bless you
You gave me a good laugh with the line about 1 hour before the shower! Too true!
My collection of MS punches is fairly large, due entirely to your inventive ways of using them. I will be making use of this great “floating frame” idea for sure. Thank you for teaching us to enjoy and use our tools to the fullest!
Oh! This is just beautiful. I love the way your cards always look so delicate. Thank you for sharing your work so freely. Kindest regards kendell
That is definately an Elegant card Becca…..beautiful!
LOL Eileen
This is stunning Becca! I love the elegance of this card! This is one of my favorite punches and I love how you layered the squares and used the punch as the card base!
‘just popping in after a week up in MN while my daughter was having my baby grandson—this card is beautiful–and so true! The new baby is perfect in every way!!!
Simply gorgeous Becca. What a great sentiment!
so sweet, love the way you layered the punched squares, such pretty paper too!
