NEWBORN INFANT
FOOTPRINTS

If you have a brand new baby, here are some suggestions for baby footprint blue or pink baby crafts! There's not another image on this earth that is as sweet as the innocent hand and footprints of an infant, so let's spread them around! The baby footprints that the nurse at the hospital stamped on that official looking document that all new moms get was done in a hurry and the footprint is probably smudged. As soon as possible, give a friend or your mother-in-law the task of picking up a royal blue or baby blue ink pad. Some heavy craft paper to make a better graphic of your baby's first hand and footprints will be necessary.
There are going to be so many things you will want to do with those footprints! If you are lucky enough to know that you are having a boy, a footprint and blue baby motifs are all that you need to get all your announcements and invitations completed early on. With some heavy card stock, you can make your own personalized blue baby footprint shower invitations.

HOW TO MAKE PERSONALIZED FOOTPRINT INVITATIONS I have a pic of my baby's footprint that you can download for free to use for footprint baby shower invitations and more! Use the free ink footprints in the pictures to ink stencils, stamps and any other number of crafts where you need some footprints graphics. Later on, you will want to use your own baby's hand and footprints to decorate thank you notes, christening invitations, announcement cards and framed for your own enjoyment.

There are baby footprint announcement or invitation card kits that you can buy online. These footprint kits supply the blank cards in pink or blue with all the stuff you need to make your invitations including a computer program for name tabs. The kit seems fine, however, it's going to take you just as much time to make your pink or blue baby footprint invitations with this kit as it would with supplies that you bought yourself for a cheap price! While the footprint invitation kit is not that expensive, it seems to me that what they are charging you for is the name tab program. The kit only prints ten pink or blue baby foot print birth announcement cards so this is not good for a mom that wants to make a large number of footprint christening, birth announcement or baby shower invitations for a footprint baby shower theme.

There are some free instructions on how to make your own blue or pink footprints on websites using the side of your hand and a few fingerprints, but it’s my opinion that they give pretty unrealistic results. I would rather copy or download some real pictures or free baby footprint graphics and use them than use unrealistic photos of footprint instructions or graphics.

All you need to make a fabulous footprint in blue for baby boys or pink for baby girls is some sheets of card stock in ivory, white cut in quarters. If you want to be really creative, try coordinating some paper in unusual colors or prints so long as they will work with pink or blue ink! You can use your baby footprints in feminine pink or masculine boyish blue for lots of creative, unique and inexpensive personalized baby keepsakes for baby's memory box or time capsule. Make your own cheap christening invitations that are just as tasteful and elegant as an antique lace christening outfit! This is nearly as good as getting free baby stuff.
