Bundle of Joy Baby Card


It's that time of year --- lots of people expanding their families and expecting little ones. Congrats to all of you who are!

Although this set, Bundle of Joy, is retired, it is one of my favorite baby stampsets. However, you can use any baby stampset you may have and substitute the giraffe and little bear.

This card was designed to be generic so you can give it to a mom who's expecting a baby boy or baby girl!
