Welcome Little One - A Sweet Storybook Baby Card | Featuring Brutus Monroe

There’s something extra special about creating handmade cards for new babies. They’re soft, sentimental, and meant to be treasured — and today’s card checks all of those boxes with a classic storybook feel featuring Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, and Piglet.

This design combines stamped images, coordinating SVGs, layered patterned paper, and lots of dimension for a cozy, nursery-inspired card that’s perfect for welcoming a little one into the world.

Project Overview

For this project, I used the Winnie the Pooh trio image along with the “Welcome Little One” sentiment from the Brutus Monroe Winnie & Friends stamp set. Instead of stamping first, I die cut the coordinating SVGs and then stamped the images directly onto the die cuts, which makes alignment simple and gives a clean, finished look.

To complete the design, I paired the images with papers from the Hunny Acres paper pad, keeping the color palette warm and timeless.

• BRU8203-2 Winnie and Friends | 6x8 Stamp Set

• Winnie and Friends | Digital Cut File

• BRU4144 Hunny Acres | Paper Pad

  • Honeycomb patterned paper

  • Wood panel patterned paper

• stitched rectangle die

• COPIC markers

• red enamel dots

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Die Cut the SVGs

I started by die cutting the coordinating SVGs that match the stamp set. This allowed me to stamp directly onto the die-cut shapes and ensured perfect placement.

2. Stamp & Color the Images

Once the SVGs were die cut, I stamped the trio image of Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, and Piglet directly onto the die cuts, along with the “Welcome Little One” sentiment.

I then colored everything with Copic markers, keeping the colors soft and true to the classic storybook style.

3. Create the Background Layers

From the Hunny Acres paper pad, I die cut a stitched rectangle from the honeycomb paper, which adds subtle texture without overwhelming the design.

I also trimmed the wood panel paper down to A2 size and adhered it to my card base to serve as a warm, neutral foundation.

4. Add Dimension

To bring everything to life, I used foam tape to pop up:

• The honeycomb stitched rectangle

• The stamped and die-cut character images

This extra height adds interest and helps the focal image stand out from the background.

5. Finishing Touches

To finish the card, I added:

• Pooh’s signature red balloon

• A few red enamel dots

These small pops of red help balance the design and draw the eye around the card, tying everything together beautifully.

Final Thoughts

I love how this card came together — it feels cozy, heartfelt, and full of gentle storytelling. Combining stamped images with coordinating SVGs is such a great way to add polish, and the Hunny Acres papers were the perfect complement to this sweet scene.

This design would work beautifully for:

• New baby cards

• Baby shower cards

• Nursery-themed keepsakes
