Want to Welcome the Newcomer? Make a Baby Greeting Card

 

What better way to say "Welcome to the World" than by making your own new baby greeting cards? Make you own special card to give at a baby shower or to accompany a gift. Maybe you just want to make a great card to mail to the proud parents. Either way, if you've never made a card before, you'll be surprised at how easy it is.

If you are into scrapbooking or rubber stamping, you're probably already making your own greeting cards and are looking for inspiration and new designs.

Supplies for Making Your New Baby Cards 

what you'll need

Making your own baby cards requires some basic supplies. Some you may want to purchase at a craft store or online. Other items you may find around the house.

Depending on the type of card you plan to make, you will need card stock in baby friendly colors, scrapbook paper with a suitable design, glues and adhesives and a cutting tool.

Items such as buttons, ribbons, lace, stickers, glitter, beads and so forth are good embellishments or trim.

Pens with colored inks are good for writing sentiments or greetings. Alternatively, print your sentiments from your computer and attach with glue.

Place your baby card in pre-purchased envelopes, which you can decorate to match your card. Alternatively, you can often find envelope templates on the Internet if you want to make your own.
