Sweet Baby Rose with Kelly

Hello and welcome! It’s Kelly here today sharing a baby card and coordinating tag to celebrate the
upcoming arrival of Baby Rose! I’ve been invited to a baby shower for a lady who has SIX boys…yes, SIX! She has been wanting a baby girl since forever and she’s finally getting her girl! Since she’s naming her
baby Rose, I thought it only fitting to embrace it and create a rose-themed baby card and tag!

Since I knew the card would be rose-themed, I went straight for the Birth Month Blooms Cuttables,
found the rose and coordinating Birth Month Blooms Q2 Die. I considered stamping the rose out, but
this was a time-saver. If I was creating multiples of something, I would definitely do stamping instead. I
created a gingham mat for the rose using some pink gingham pattern paper cut using the Capsule Basics
Die. I used the Folk Heart Sentiments Stamp to add the “Welcome Baby” stamped in black. It’s also hard
not to want to add Capsule Filigree Borders to everything, so why resist? I added the border cut from cream cardstock using liquid glue.

I’m still loving the convenience and ease of the Capsule Fixed Borders: Small Die; I cut it from white and
then added the stamping to coordinate with the colors of the rose using the Capsule Collection Floral
Borders Stamp. This is the perfect frame for the rose focal point and provides additional feminine detail
to elevate the design. The Sweetest Frames Capsule Edition Stamp and Die embossed in gold give it the perfect landing spot.

Next, I cut another border from yellow gingham cardstock using the Capsule fixed Borders: Large Die. It
is a creamy, pale yellow to add warmth, without competing with the pink gingham used on the focal
layer. I gave it a touch more detail by adding the pattern using the leafy Thankful and Blessed stamp.

From there, I cut the base scalloped layer using the Capsule Basics Die from Vintage Cream cardstock. I also embossed it using the Capsule Basics Embossing Folder. From there, it was simply a matter of layering everything together to complete the design. I also added a Regency Bow No 2 die to the top. I did create a capsule base for the card and stamped a sentiment on the inside as well.

The tag was created by choosing one of the beautiful prints included in the Capsule Valentine Gallery
Prints. There were more than enough rose options, so I simply chose the one that coordinates nicely
with the card AND allows room for a stamped sentiment. I just love how perfectly the Folk Heart
Sentiments Stamp works for the card and the tag! I added another cream filigree border and some “hardware” cut using the Hang It Up Die from gold cardstock.

I’m happy with how this turned out! I have some sewing projects to get started on for Baby Rose, but
I’m happy to have the card and tag all made! I hate running out of time and skimping on the card,
especially since people think of me as the “card lady”! ha ha! I’m actually making a point to build up my baby card stash since it has dwindled. Thanks for joining me today!
