Hand cut Congratulations...

A special card for a very special friend, my best friend shared the news that she is 12 weeks pregnant last week! I am SOOOO happy for her!! (and secretly can’t wait to start doing some baby related shopping!!)


With all my craft stuff in storage and a limited selection of premade cards I decided that I wanted to do a special paper cut card for her.


I googled some images and found a design I loved, drew it out, and traced it onto the card – then I started cutting!!!


I found that the card looks AWESOME with no backing paper but you would be able to see the written message through the gaps, I bought some pastel colours (thinking good choice for a baby card) and thought that it looked really ‘blah’ – then I tried the metallic blue – BAM. The paper cut really pops on top of dark colours!!! I wanted it to be gender neutral but in the situation I am in with VERY limited resources the blue will have to do.


I’m super happy with it – hope she likes it!!
