Cute and easy are two words to describe today’s Clean and Simple baby card. It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!
The talented Jaydee, who creates the BEST Clean and Simple cards, is hosting a Clean and Simple Woodland Critters challenge. I selected the bunny from the Fable Friends stamp set as my critter. With so many cute critters to choose from, I can’t wait to see what you create! Because this is our clean and simple challenge, just remember to keep your project simple and uncluttered, with minimal layers and embellishments, and plenty of open space.

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
Today’s card is quick and easy for a reason. I was under the gun to get this card made and this blog post written before Kendall the Boxer had her puppies. I knew once the puppies arrived, I would be so occupied with the babies that I would not get anything else done. So here I sit, on Friday, February 7th, feverishly typing away. As the X-ray taken yesterday shows, the puppies are lining up, ready to greet the world. (For those of you who would like to see the X-ray, look for it later in this post.) By the time you read this on the 16th, the puppies will be here! I promise to update this post with details if I can. If not, expect them in the next post.
I stamped the image in Saddle Brown StazOn and colored it with Stampin’ Blends. I do admit that I did get a little heavy handed with the bunny’s “blush”. If I were to re-do this card, I would lighten it up for sure. Another thing I would change would be the color of her sweater. I used Calypso Coral. That’s because originally I was going to use a Calypso Coral gingham background. But as sometimes happens, I changed design mid-card.
But when all is said and done, with its Eyelet Lace embossed background, it is still an adorable card, and clean and simple for me!

Absolutely darling, Ann! Love the embossed background and the layered ovals.
Your sweet bunny is adorable Ann (and I love the Calypso Coral jacket!) The embossed background pairs beautifully and I love the addition of the bow – it does make this card! So excited to see the x-rays and the subsequent puppies!
I so love your card! The embossed background is perfect! Thanks so much for sharing your puppy pics. My whole family was in awe of the xrays!
So cute, and I love the pretty bow! Hope the pups are doing well!
Oh Ann, this is so pretty! I love the embossing and that adorable little bunny! I don’t even know how you found the time or energy to make a card with all those baby boxers! I love the ribbon, pearls and beautiful coloring! Hope you are finding time to get a little rest. Thinking of you! XXX
Babies and puppies- how much fun is that?!?! Congrats on both! I love this sweet card, too!
Oh Ann – what a wonderful, lovely card to greet a new tiny-human. Or…tiny Boxers!! How you had time or energy to make this adorable card is beyond me. But I’m so glad that you did and shared it with us!
Well, of course you made a baby card, with Kendall about ready to deliver! I adore the sweet bunny and all the soft colors you used. Hope things are going okay, Ann!
Such a cute little bunny…he looks a little shy but he is quite dapper! Congrats on the puppies too! WOOHOO!
Your baby card is so beautiful! I love making simple but pretty cards! That seems to be my style. 🙂
I saw 5 puppies in the x-ray. I’m looking forward to seeing the puppies when they are born.
Lisa nailed it! Such a SWEET card just like all those ten new Boxer puppies!! Now that is a whole lotta sweetness!
Very nice card! Exciting to have puppies.
Such a sweet card!
Best wishes for the new mommy and baby boxers.
