Hamster New Baby Card

Posted on April 1, 2022 by Laura Stark

A friend of mine has just given birth to a little girl and I wanted to make a new baby card for her to celebrate the occasion.  However, when pulling out my stamp sets, I realised I don’t have any new baby stamps (enter face palm emoji here).  However, rather than order more supplies that I really don’t need at the moment, I decided to look through the sets I own.  In doing so, I found a really cute hamster being held up by balloons in the Mama Elephant Celebration Hamsters set.  To me, this seems like a cute twist on the storks delivering babies legend, and I think (hope) it works.

Supplies I Used

  • Mama Elephant Celebration Hamsters stamp set
  • Mama Elephant Wish Upon a Star stamp set
  • Mama Elephant Wishes Enclosed stamp set
  • Lawn Fawn Just For You stamp set
  • Mama Elephant Wishes Enclosed co-ordinating dies
  • Mama Elephant Snail Mail dies
  • Sunny Studios Bursting Hearts dies
  • Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle dies
  • Heffy Doodle 8.5 x 11” Coloured Cardstock – Bubblegum Blush
  • Crafter’s Companion Stamping Card
  • Crafter’s Companion CenturalPearl Pastels Cardstock – pink and purple
  • Lawn Fawn Glue Pen
  • Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad
  • Versamark Watermark Ink Pad
  • Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powder – Purple
  • Copic Sketch Markers
  • Double sided foam strips

Making the Card

I started this card by stamping the hamster from the Mama Elephant Celebration Hamsters stamp set onto Crafter’s Companion Stamping Card using Memento Tuxedo Black.  Next, I cut the stamp out and coloured it in using Copic Sketch markers.

I then moved on to the dies.  First I cut a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 rectangle using the largest Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle die from CenturaPearl purple cardstock.  I then used the Sunny Studio Bursting Hearts die on some CenturaPearl pink cardstock, and trimmed this down again using the Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle die.  Finally I used the Mama Elephant Snail Mail die to cut some more CenturaPearl purple cardstock.

Next, I glued all of the die cuts together and used double sided foam to add the hamster to the card to add some dimension.

I then moved on to the sentiment.  I thought the ‘It’s Your Birthday’ sentiment from the Mama Elephant Wishes Enclosed set was perfect for a new baby card, so I stamped this using Versamark Ink onto some Stamping Card, covered it in Purple Cosmic Shimmer embossing powder and heat set it.  Finally I cut this out using the coordinating die.  I attached the finished sentiment to the card using more foam strips.

To complete the card, I cut a piece of Heffy Doodle Bubblegum Blush card in half and scored it down the middle.  I then attached my topper to the card base.  I stamped the ‘You Are One in a Million’ sentiment from the Mama Elephant Wish Upon a Star stamp set to the interior of the card, and the ‘Just For You’ sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Just For You stamp set to the back.

Somehow I ended up with another monotone design, but I’m really happy with this new baby card and hope my friend likes it.

This is probably going to be my last card of 2022 This is probably going to be my last card of 2022 and what a nice way to end it but with a new baby card. Granted the snowflake border is a bit weird but winter baby - I’m going with it.
