I am so glad Pam asked me to be a guest designer on her blog today! She asked me to make something using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge and I was more than happy to oblige!
Today's card is a 5" x 5" card that would be perfect for a new baby. I made mine for a baby boy, but with a quick color change it could easily be for a baby girl.
I used the cut on page 81 in your handbook and with the use of my handy dandy Gypsy, I welded a star in the middle.
Then I stamped this sweet little sentiment I got from Verve on a circle. I then backed that circle with a piece dark aqua glittered cardstock and popped it up with pop dots in the middle of the star.
I added a little bling to my sentiment because aren't most thing better with a little bling!

Very sweet blue baby card. Great work, Melanie!
So sweet and pretty. I can see it as a baby boy's card and easily, a baby girl's card. And with a gender neutral card, it's just right for either.
i really liked the circle embellishment and how you added the ribbon. TFS!
Such a pretty card...love the bling on the sentiment and the ribbon...pretty touches!
Oh how pretty! I never would have thought of using the page 81 cut for something like this. Adorable!
So elegant and sweet. The perfect way to welcome a new little one
