Baby bookcase

Today I have a little break from autumn cards -- a cute (in my opinion!) baby card. I don't have the opportunity to make too many baby cards, so I was excited to create one for a coworker's baby shower last week. 

I used the retired Bookcase Builder stamp set from Stampin' Up!, and I love choosing which images to include and how to arrange them on the shelves. For my colors, I used Toffee (Taylored Expressions) as the main neutral and added in pink, yellow, green, and blue -- pretty traditional baby colors, but I chose darker, more saturated shades than the usual pastels.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to add a sentiment to the front of the card, but I found a tiny "congratulations," and I thought it fit perfectly tucked under the bottom shelf. I added a die-cut scalloped frame around the stamped images, and I layered the frame; I die cut a white frame and a Toffee frame and glued them together to create just a bit of dimension. The finishing touch was a few clear droplets.

Thanks for stopping by!
