Help for Hobbies of all Sorts by Rene' Hobbie

Do you need an idea for a cute baby shower card?  These were very easy to make.  Follow along if you'd like to learn how. 


Start out with a 5x5 inch piece of white cardstock.

Place circle punches strategically where you'd like them to go. 

Using the Bigz Sizzix Scalloped Large Square, run your paper through the Big Shot.  If you don't have one of these, you NEED one! 

Now run your artwork through the Big Shot again using the embossing folder. 

Adhere your embossed piece to a brown piece of cardstock that measures 5x10 inches or 5x5 when folded to make a card. 

Stamp your sentiment on a small piece of white cardstock.  Mine measured 1 1/4x1 1/4 inches.  Mat your sentiment to a colorful piece of cardstock that has been run through the Sizzix using the Scallop Duo Square die cut. 

Adhere your sentiment to the card using 3 dimensionals or pop dots.  Add the bow using glue dots. 

Materials Used:
Paper:  Wild Wasabi, Pretty in Pink, Early Espresso, Bashful Blue
