Good morning sweet blog friends. Today is Preview Day 2 of the Waltzingmouse Stamps April Release. I have a pair of small cards to show. These sure fill a void in my stash – I don’t think I have any baby stamps at all and this set is called Nordic Baby. It’s small and sweet and the little stitch marks give the motifs texture and character. In a nutshell I created an a baby welcome card that I can redo whenever I need one – in a flash. I took cardstock measuring 5 – 1/2″ x 8″ and scored in half. I cut using Spellbinders™ Romantic Rectangles, I centered and cut from the front flap leaving a frame. I backed that frame using Spellbinders™ Basic Lattice. That gave me a latticed card base that you can see through. I cut a small piece of cardstock (2″ x 3-3/4″) for the left edge of the card and added lace and a tied bow with buttons. That’s where I hung the sweet pair of shoes from a button. The petite scalloped edge was created using Spellbinders™ On the Edge.
I stamped the nordic circle motif using Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM and mounted it on Spellbinders™ Medallion Four. This set begs for sweet little buttons and pearls.

Sweet baby cards! Too cute and easy to do.
Wow…I’m relatively new to your site and Double Wow….You truly are AMAZING!!! Your site is the best that I have seen yet. Your work belongs in an Art Museum!!! Gosh, thank you so much for sharing! I can always dream!
LOVE the Lattice background Becca!!!!!!!!!!!! :) LOVING Baby Cards myself these days!!!!!!! :(
Becca, I love your cards. They are exquitesite. Today’s card with the cut on edge, intrigues me. I have recently noticed several of them used. I have read that you need a special set of cutting plates for them. Is this correct? I have imagined cutting them and I do not understand why you would need these extra plates for the big shot. Do you have a tutorial on this technique? I have checked some of your tutorials on you tube but I have not found one. I would appreciate your comments. Thanks, Donna
Hi Donna, the On the Edge die is a plain die, nothing needed by your regular cutting plates :-)
What tender little cards. I find it impossible not to love everything you do.
Oh these are so pretty! Love the little pearls on the shoes, the ribbons and fabulous open lattice. Wonderful!
What cute little cards Becca! So sweet.
Hi Becca, just cute as a button here again. You just never fails to deliver, whenever you´re joining, do you? This is gorgeous and really really cute too. I love it.
