Ah, a lovely alliterative title :) I wanted to show a little card that I made last week for a friend who had a baby. I wanted to send a little something just to say congratulations and racked my brain for a simple and easy to execute (I had about half an hour to make it) design, that was still cute. In the end I came up with this:
I used foam (you can get packs with lots of colours in Rymans, or Hobbycraft) felt and a sheet or card and coloured paper. Cut out a rectangle of foam, and then a small, long, strip for underneath. Fold the felt in half and draw a footprint shape on it and then cut it out. You should now have a pair, so put them with the slightly bigger curve inwards. Then cut out a few little ovals (I did this with doubled over felt still, to get them matching) for toes- this is the trickiest part and you may have to try quite a few times until you get a suitable looking size for them all.
Then glue the feet onto the foam, as central as possible (although, you can of course cut the foam down again after). Fold over your sheet of card and glue (or double sided tape) a sheet of coloured paper to it if you do not have a sheet of card in the colour you would like to use. Stick the foam with feet on in the centre top, then write your message on the other strip of foam and glue, or double sided tape, it below the first one.
Leave it to dry for a few hours if you can and then you can write in it and send it off :) easy, but lovely.
