Today I'll be sharing with you a card tutorial that pairs perfectly with a baby shower gift, or could even be used for your announcements. Simply Stamps has a new line of <a href="https://www.simplystamps.com/craft-stamps/baby-theme">baby craft stamps</a> that will make creating your homemade cards that much more special. The best part is: you can personalize all of them! Add a child's name, birthday, even their weight and height!<p><a title="" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/babystamps_two.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_687]" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2413" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/babystamps_two.jpg" alt="" style="max-width:637px;"></a></p><p>I'll be attending a baby shower for a girl soon, so I thought I'd use this opportunity to make this great card. I decided to use the <a href="/custom-name-oh-baby-announcement-craft-stamp">Custom Name Oh Baby! Announcement Craft stamp</a> from Simply Stamps. I started with pink designer paper and card stock. Using the stick die, I framed the designer card stock, then used the smaller matching frame for the arrival card.</p><p><a title="" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/babystamps_three.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_687]" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2416" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/babystamps_three.jpg" alt="" style="max-width:480px;"></a></p><p>Next, I used my MISTI to perfectly stamp the personalized sentiment onto the pink cardstock.</p><p><a title="" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/babystamps_one.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_687]" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2415" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/05/babystamps_one.jpg" alt="" style="max-width:640px;"></a></p><p>I also added a baby onesie sticker, a pink ribbon and button with some twine to add a few embellishments. Be sure to check out my full process for making this card in the video below:</p><p>I hope you've enjoyed today's tutorial!

For many years, I worked for a competitor stamp company and around every holiday, I would craft with my little ones and blog about it. That blog grew to nearly a million page views and was read regularly by crafters and mom's alike. It was something I was very proud of and passionate about. It's been months since I did that but this weekend, I pulled out some stamps, paper, ink pads, stickers and embellishments. I pulled out my camera.  And we gathered around my kitchen table and created some Valentine's Day cards. Sitting with my kids and working on a stamping project and creating something for the upcoming holiday made me feel like me again! It engages the kids and allows me to be creative, too.  For all the mom's out there searching for a rainy day activity, this one is for you!<p>This project is so easy anyone can do it. You will need:</p><ul><li>Card Stock</li><li>Festive washi tape</li><li>Stickers or embellishments</li><li>Ink Pads</li><li>Craft Stamps: we used "xoxo" from Simply Stamps's collection of craft stamps</li></ul><p>Use this as your guide, but as you will quickly see, your kids will take charge of how they want to create their own Valentine's.</p><p><a title="kids-DIY-valentines" href="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/01/DSC_0258.jpg" rel="lightbox[mpblog_653]" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1861" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/01/DSC_0258.jpg" alt="kids-DIY-valentines" style="max-width:600px;"></a></p><p><a href="https://www.simplystamps.com/xoxo_love_craft_stamp-details.aspx" title="sentiment_117c_large"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1866" src="https://blog.holmescustom.com/simplystamps/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/01/sentiment_117c_large.png" alt="sentiment_117c_large" style="max-width:250px;"></a></p><p><a href="/xoxo-love-craft-stamp">Sentiment "XOXO" Stamp by Simply Stamps</a></p><p>My 4 year old son, Connor, was excited to have a rainy Sunday project!
