One More Baby Shower Tri-Shutter

I'm lovin these tri-shutter cards... this one is my favorite... it's for my daughter's baby shower this afternoon... Claudia is our older daughter... a great wife and mother... she has a 20-yr-old son Lane, an 11-yr-old son Bailey, a sweetie that just turned 3 - Olivia, and come January, she'll add MacKenzie Joy to their brood... I can't wait! It will be such fun to have a baby to cuddle again!

The base of the card is a pearlized green that's gorgeous (I think)... I used 3 designer papers that I felt coordinated well... some of the trims on it are from a package of narrow, self-adhesive, 12-inch strips called Itsy Bitsy Baby Girl adhesive borders (they come 30 to a pkg for about $4) (from K&Company)... They are great! And then there's Maisy KETTO... isn't she cute?

I used the same verse on the large center panel as the other baby tri-shutter I shared with you last week...

BUSY, BUSY DAY!

Wow! Seven cards...3 baby shower tri-shutters and 4 pastor appreciation fun fold cards... Although I was pretty productive, if I do say so myself, I still need to make several sympathy cards... guess it will be a late night!

The baby shower cards were very similar, the first two almost identical started with a pearlized pink cardstock (ColorBok), used a couple of coordinated patterned designer paper, a little ribbon, a cute brad, some bling and pearls, several strips from a K&Company grouping of baby-themed scrapbooking strips, and one cute sticker.



Here's the straight-on view of the first card... I have two stamps I wanted to use on these... one was too long to fit on any of the card panels. So I put it on the flap of the card, embossed with SU's silver powder, and lined the envelope.

The other stamp has this wonderful sentiment (God sends His love and joy to earth with every newborn baby's birth) -- I'm very pleased with the finished card... What do you think?
