Today's super-cute card tutorial, designed by the talented Rebecca, celebrates the arrival of a bouncing baby boy. This sweet layout has been crafted using items from the newly launched Baby collection and, although it's been designed with a baby boy in mind, it can easily be altered for a girl with a quick colour change.
