If you are a Stampin' UP! fan, you look forward to this time of year where you get FREE exclusive products when ordering $50 or $100 worth of product between January 4th through February 29th.

Today I am sharing with you some cute cards made using the Cradled in Love stamp set (FREE with a $50 order in the US). I made these cards as part of a swap with other Stampin' Friends. The challenge was to use something from the Mini Catalog or Sale-a-bration with the Subtles Color Family.

First, check out all the images and greetings for this stamp set! The cradle is the largest image and you can build around it with the rug and mobile or have the cradle stand alone. There are great sayings that go along with this set, from "Welcome, little one," to "Bundle of Joy." You can even customize it with "baby girl" or "baby boy".

It is easy to make a card more gender specific but keep the same layout. I used the Bubble Bath for the girl and Balmy Blue for the boy card.

I used my Stampin' Blends to color in the cradle and just LOVE the result!

If you don't know the gender of the baby you could always use a gender neutral color like Soft Sea Foam (light green) or Lemon Lolly (card below).

This is such a simple layout with embossed layers and die cut shapes, but I think it paired nicely with the Cradle in Love Sale-a-bration stamp set to make a sweet card for any new baby.
