Spring seems to bring on the Babies. Maybe it’s just because I’m due in June with my own, but Baby Baby Baby is in the air. Here is the perfect Hand-Stitched Card for any new mother having a child. This Baby Binky Card can be made with either blue or pink thread. Follow the pattern and instructions and you can easily hand stitch this card yourself.
Supplies: Everything is available at your local craft or fabric store.

P.S. Heather, who won the Card Supplies Giveaway, sent me this card that she hand-stitched from using the supplies. The ideas for stitching cards are endless. I love her cupcake. Great Job, Heather.

You are right. I know 5 people who are due to have their babies within the next 3-4 months! Cute cards!
I LOVE IT!!! I have been wondering what ideas you had for baby cards and this is DARLING! I made my own baby bottle a few months back but this is by far way cuter! I can’t wait to start stitching some of these. Thanks for sharing.
This is such a cute and easy idea – I submitted it to sk-rt.com so other people can find it.
Shannon – Thanks!
Laura – I want to see what cards you have done. Email me some!
Kelsey – Thanks for submitting this baby pattern. I love sk*rt!
Cute cards! I’ll have to try it, I love card making.
I have 8 friends having babies this year. This card is so cute! I’d better get cracking.
I have been looking everywhere for a cupcake pattern. Do you have any?
Another wonderful stitched greeting card. You SO rock! Can’t wait to share this with my readers. I’ve scheduled a link to your post to go live on my blog tomorrow morning (Central USA time), August 22. Thank you for making this resource available online!
