Cute.

Happy Sunday!

Have you ever been to Kristina Werner's blog? That girl is nothing short of amazing. Seriously. Everything she makes either simple or involved just turns out really really really good. One of the things I've noticed in her work is that she uses a lot of kraft cardstock, and she makes some long kraft cards. So I had to try that and ordered these long Hero Arts kraft cards direct from Hero Arts. You get a set of 6 light-colored kraft cards with matching envelopes for $7. Not a bad deal, so I ordered 2 - and the shipping was well-priced and super-quick.

I bought these Colorbok glitter letters at Target for 99-cents and I thought a big card like this would be perfect for big letters. I used some color strips from My Mind's Eye, topped with some vintage trim from A Million Memories and then stamped a strip of Verve sentiment on top of that. I couldn't get my spacing figured out with the letters, so I just pushed it to the side and threw a vintage button on there because buttons go with baby cards pretty well anyway!

Hope your Sunday is a good one!

This is perfect! I love the button on there, and the "welcome baby" stamping is a perfect little touch. I have never tried a long card like this, maybe I can get some inspiration for it from you!
