Unique Handmade Baby Cards

Handmade cards are wonderful, timeless treasures that can be cherished forever by the ones you love. Whereas store-bought greeting cards can be generic and mass-produced, handmade cards are one-of-a-kind, and let those who receive these mini works of art know how special they truly are. Most of all, these precious keepsakes are fun to make, and even better to receive.

Handmade baby cards are perfect for announcing new births, congratulating parents, offering blessings for baby christenings and showers, and more! And because handmade cards are completely customizable, they can include special mementos, the baby’s and/or parents’ names, and even photographs of family members and friends. With just a few supplies, even the most novice card-maker can create the beautiful baby cards that are guaranteed to be treasured for years to come.

Besides the traditional card-making supplies you will need to get started, the following are a few ideas to help embellish your baby-themed cards. These ideas can be in the form of rubber and/or digital stamps colored with pastel color pencils, markers or chalks, stickers, die-cuts, and more!

• Traditional pastel colors such as pink, baby blue, pale yellow and sage green designer papers and cardstocks
• Soft colored pearls and rhinestones
• Buttons (besides traditional buttons, check out your local craft store’s button section for many different themes. If the button does not lie flat, simply cut off the back with a craft knife or pliers.)
• Pacifiers
• Bows
• Diaper pins
• Bibs
• Crib
• Stroller
• Bottles
• Bears
• Stork
• Moon
• Rubber duckies
• Onesies (tiny clothespins that make cute additions to die-cut baby outfits and clothes)
• Baby footprints
