There’s not a wide selection of baby stamps and dies in Stampin’ Up!’s current collection – no onesies and no booties – but that doesn’t mean we can’t make sweet baby cards. ♥ It’s been a while since I’ve needed a baby card, but this one came together quickly, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Here’s my sweet-and-simple card for baby boy:
There are only a few elements on this card, but each element plays an important role. Let’s start with the 4-1/4″ x 4″ panel of Pool Party Designer Series Paper that covers the lover portion of this Pool Party card base. I love that Stampin’ Up! has been offering the 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper Stacks (48 pages) in the exclusive Host Rewards. The pack of papers is yours for just $18 Stampin’ Rewards (it’s free with a $180 order or just $3 with a $150 order). Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Design a Daydream Host Designer Series Paper (click on the photo below to flip through the pages in my online store):
There are so many soft and sweet pages in this pack of paper, but I was drawn to this page as I created my monochromatic card. Here’s a closer look at the sweet sentiment that’s pulled from the Happier than Happy stamp set:
I heat embossed the sentiment with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Pool Party cardstock and then cropped it with a Stylish Shapes Die. So sweet!
I was so happy when I found this sentiment because I knew I could adapt it to work for me on a baby-themed card – until I realized the set is actually baby-themed. 🙂 Here’s a look at the Happier Than Happy Bundle:
It’s the sheer Pool Party bow that pulls everything together for me. I don’t often use ribbons on my project, but even I was able to make a beautiful bow with this sheer ribbon. LOVE IT!

This is a perfect baby card. I love the layering of Pool Party and simplicity!
Thanks, Mary! When I was done, I couldn’t decide if it was a classic look or super modern. Either way, I’m thrilled you like it. Thanks!
Brian, this card is oh so sweet! Love it! Pool Party is such a versatile color – whether paired with other colors or monochromatic, it makes a statement! Thanks for another terrific idea!
Thank you so much, Tam! I had fun with this one – I do love Pool Party and agree that it looks great with ANY color, but I think it’s particularly striking alone. 🙂 Always love to hear from you.
Happy Wednesday, Brian!
Pool Party is such a beautiful and soft color … perfect for a baby card.
The see-through ribbon and delicate font of the greeting couldn’t be better choices! Very well done 👏🏻
Thank you so much, Suzie! I adore Pool Party, too. Can’t imagine I’ll stuff this one in an envelope, so it will be hand delivered along with the gift. 🙂
This is a very sweet baby card. I love the DSP and the font of the sentiment. Enjoy your day!
I’ve loved this sentiment since I saw it (even though I didn’t tie it to a baby-themed set). I guess I know, somewhere subconsciously, that it would be perfect for a baby card. 🙂 Thanks, Hilda!
Adorable baby card! Sweet as can be!
♥ Thanks, my friend!
Love the left vs. right placement of sentiment and bow. So many people would center them but the opposing sides’ orientation show how a master designer ( or, rather, a KING) creates. Love this. ❤️Hope when Lost Lagoon comes back there are lots os DSP opportunities to do something similar with THAT color!
🙂 Thank you so much, Linda! I don’t know what I ever did to deserve such kindness from you, but I appreciate every bit of it. ♥
