    Cute Elephant Baby Card

    0 · Aug 18, 2022 · Leave a Comment

    Create this cute baby card featuring Stampin' Up!'s Elephant Parade stamp set. Elephants are adorable and just perfect for baby cards. The sentiments in the Elephant parade stamp set include "sweet little one", and "What a happy day!", both of which are perfect for elephant baby cards.

    Make it Yourself:

    Scroll down for a complete tutorial available to create this card yourself. The white crinkled ribbon is very versatile. Use Stampin' Blends to dye it any colour you like! Colouring this ribbon is quick and easy to do and an economical way to have ribbon match your card every time.

    I used bright colours for a fun look. Parakeet Party and Polished Pink are a favourite colour combination for me lately.
