Hello! Welcome to Monday and my day on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog. Babies don’t stop for Christmas, do they? I had the great pleasure and infinite FUN this month of making a baby card to celebrate a new arrival, so that’s what I’m here to share today. First, the card:
Bees buzzing over the card front, a popped up frame, a banner cut from designer paper and decorated with tiny flowers. . . Everything I used is listed in the recipe at the end of this post, but I’ll share the list of dies here:
- Impression Obsession Rectangle 6-in-1 Frames
- La-La Land Random Flags Banner
- Frantic Stamper Ladybug & Bee
- Impression Obsession Tiny Flowers
- Impression Obsession Leaf Cluster
And the inside:
To decorate the inside I cut the bee bodies again from the yellow designer paper. Also used one of the tiny hearts that dropped out of the banner when I cut it – see it there at the end of the bee’s flight trail. The sentiment was colored directly on the rubber with individual markers.
We start a new challenge tomorrow on the Dies R Us Challenge Blog. The entries are always so fabulous and inspiring and I’d love to see yours there, as well. You might win! Have a good day and a beautiful Christmas season!

Oh my, this is so adorable Leslie. I love when you make baby cards. Love all the die cuts on this, and the inside is just as adorable as the card front. Overall gorgeous baby card - the recipients will be thrilled to receive this. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my that is just too adorable!!! Great idea to go with the Bee theme, the paper is too cute behind also and great use of all these dies. Your inside is just too sweet too, love how you colored each line differently and did the bees softer, that heart at the end was a cute idea!!
