Baby card thank yous

One of my fellow demos Denise Ibbett is expecting her first wee bub so at the last team get together we all bought along a few gifts etc and she's sent me this really cute wee thank you card (yes she is expecting a wee girl).

She's used Baby Time a wheel that is now retired plus Oval All (Spring Mini 2009) and a bit of DSP - now how simple but effective is this.  Thanks Denise I hope the big day is not to big a day.

Ain't this the cutest baby card you've ever seen

I found this really cool tutorial by Lauren but there's a couple of things you need to know!

• The size of the card stock in the first step should read 11 x 4-1/4" or in my/our case down under 11 x 4-1/8" as our cardstock is slighter narrower than the USA's.
• If your circle punch won't cut two layers for the neck don't force it or you'll spend the next 2 hours unjamming & filing it (in my case about 1230am!). Must admit it's nice & sharp now & it can cut 2 layers. I did use another cutting system in the end but for the next versions in pink & blue I create hopefully the circle punch will keep on working as that will definitely speed it all up.
• When using your craft knife if right handed like me, turn the card over when cutting the left hand side (if you look closely at my LHS it's not quite straight - it was an awkward angle to cut).

Otherwise have fun - lots of oohs & ahh's at work today. Yes no. 2 mum to be leaves tomorrow. Good luck Bhamini.
