Tis the Season for Baby Shower Cards


It seems to be the season for baby showers. I had two requests at work this past week or so for a personalized baby shower card. I first made this style of card using the expectant mother from the Cricut New Arrival cart to make a personalized baby shower card about three years ago. In it, she is holding a Michael Kors bag. For this one, I was asked to make it a Coach bag, so I added the letter C using some Stickles. The mother is cut at 4" and I used design paper from the Super Slab by Rob and Bob Studio. The lettering is from the Cricut Storybook cartridge and I bought the grosgrain ribbon at Michael's. The adhesive half-pearls are from the dollar store. I think the one thing I would change is the ribbon since the green flowers are too bright and don't match well with the green paper. Oh, well. You have to work with what you've got, right?
