I am so thrilled to have the perfect set to embellish the outside and inside of baby cards! It is full of quotes and sentiments that you will absolutely LOVE! I decided to make a simple baby boy card and matching gift card enclosure with tag (I used the Cash or Charge #3 template). The card uses Spring Rain, Spring Moss, Dark Chocolate, and Fresh Snow as the color combo and Star Prints as the complimenting set.
For the card I started with a Spring Rain cardbase, then I stamped a SS White panel with a mid sized star (from Tree Trimming Trio) and the small star (from Star Prints) randomly. I inked the edges with Spring Moss ink. I added a strip of Spring Moss which I had punched with the Zig Zag border punch and added a double layer of trim - first Fresh Snow Twill and then some small white ric rac. I also added the small star at each little zig zag with Spring Moss ink. The final touch is the larger star from Star Prints with the button embellishment stitched on with embroidery floss.
I love finishing the insides of my card to compliment the outside images. The quotes included in this set make it so easy to complete you card. I typically take a simple approach to finishing the insides of cards with a few complimentary images in the corner and around the inner sentiment (if there is one). I also really like to line the inside of my cards, I think it just looks more complete that way. You can also see where I added the same images to the corner of my envelope.
And here is the gift card enclosure I made to compliment the card. I used Spring Moss for the body of the template and matted it with Bitty Star Basics in Spring Rain, it worked perfectly. The tag is just adhered to the front and echoes the card perfectly. Inside the giftcard holder is stamped with the same congratulations as on the card, it is just waiting for the perfect giftcard for the expectant mommy!

Gorgeous...stunning...simply beautiful! One of the things I love about PTI is the way older stamp sets are incorporated with new ones. You've done this brilliantly with this post. Thanks for all your inspiration!
