Happy Sunday! Just popping in today to share a simple card set that I made over the weekend. If you hadn't heard yet, Josh and I became licensed foster parents last November and on February 15th, we got our first placement. Two girls - a 13 month old, and her 6 week old preemie sister that was discharged from the NICU to us. Needless to say...life around here has been chaotic, and super busy. So, I don't have a lot of extra crafty time right now. And that is where these gorgeous papers & dies from Alexandra Renke come into play!
These cards took me less then an hour to put together, and now I have two gorgeous baby cards ready for the next time I need one. The cutie angel dies were actually from Alexandra's Christmas release, but I thought they would be perfect for baby cards!
To start I did all the diecutting. I diecut the angels three times: one from gold glitter paper and twice from white cardstock. Then I diecut the sentiments from white cardstock three times. I stacked and adhered them together with a Zig 2-way glue pen.
Then I cut the backgrounds from two sheets of gorgeous Alexandra Renke patterned paper, aptly named "Baby's Breath" and "Baby's Breath Rose". I adhered them to the front of A2 white card bases with full sheets of foam adhesive to give the card some dimension.
Finally I adhered the diecut angels & sentiments to each card front, then accented with matching pearls & small jewels. Super easy, and super pretty.
That is all I have for you today! Before I close, I wanted to invite you to follow me on social media. I would love to be crafty friends!
Have a great rest of your Sunday!
