Welcome to Becca's Quest For Love and Country Creativity!
why: This post features a non-design team card made for a couple who had their first child, a boy, back in May. I'm seeing the new mom today and wanted to bring her a handmade card celebrating their new little son.
when: Tuesday September 23, 2025
what: Project #1 = Welcome to the world little one is what the bees are buzzing about = card
how-to & vendor notes for #1:
a. bright blue cardstock base cut to 5" x 7" = Pen + Gear
b. ivory cardstock cut just over 4" x 6" = Neenah
c. leaf print is recycled tissues box packaging!
d. wood leaf laser icons = Crafter's Square (from a 3 design package)
e. two bees and 1 hive = Little Birdie Handmade Embellishments
f. 'welcome to the world' clear stamp = from a clear package unmarked/unbranded with mix of expressions
g. three colors of ink (fish tank, narwhal & pumpkin spice) were used on the wood leaves = from the Front Porch set of mini stamp pads by Lawn Fawn; the blue/fish tank was used for the sentiment stamping and all the cardstocks' edges
h. puffy embossed hedgehog = from a mixed objects package by Amy Tangerine 2018; distributed by American Crafts
i. bees and words border sticker cut to fit the width of the ivory panel = The Simple Life sticker book by Simple Stories
