Making a Handmade Baby Shower Card: A Step-by-Step Guide
In the spirit of creativity and personal touch, here's a guide on how to create a beautiful handmade baby shower card. A helpful tutorial by Handmade by Carolyn on YouTube showcases the process.
Preparation
Begin by gathering your materials. You'll need cardstock or watercolor paper, a pencil, an eraser, a brush, water, watercolor paints in light pink, blue, and yellow, water-based markers (such as Tombows), a Sharpie, a 08 Micron pen, and an optional laser level.
Creating the Background
To start, sketch your words lightly in pencil if you want extra guidance. Set the card aside to dry before moving on to the background. In a separate container, mix your watercolor paints to create a soft, pastel hue. Using a brush and water, paint soft, pastel circles in a scattered pattern across the card. Allow the background to dry completely.
Adding the Lettering
For the smaller words ('little one'), use a Micron pen for a more delicate look. If you'd like to achieve a faux calligraphy effect, outline the letters with a Sharpie, then thicken the downstrokes. For a cleaner, more uniform look, use a laser level to keep your lettering even or purposely angled. For a more organic feel, pencil guidelines work just as well if a laser level is not available.
Customising the Card
Switch up colors to match the nursery theme, and don't forget to customise the message by writing the baby's name, adding a date, or including a short quote.
Final Touches
Once your lettering is complete, allow the card to dry again before sharing your creation. Don't forget to tag @our website on Instagram to show your creations!
