Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a celebration card. Being a part of a parent group, there's always someone having a baby. This card is perfect for the new addition to the family. I took the same basic design as my Trio of Beasties card (coming on Monday) and replaced the beasties with bears. SU doesn't have any current baby DSP, but the A Little Foxy DSP is a perfect mix of patterns to use for a card like this. Overall, a super cute little card!

I also made a variation using some retired colors and paper as a make n take for my August crop day.

Stamps: Cookie Cutter Christmas; Suite Sayings
Inks: Calypso Coral; Pool Party; Smoky Slate
Cardstock: A Little Foxy DSP; Calypso Coral; Pool Party; Whisper White

Tools: Cookie Cutter Punch
