Calling Cards

Calling cards were first introduced in France in the early 1800’s and caught on throughout Europe and America as an important social craze. The height of the popularity of the calling card era coincides with the reign of the Victorian Era.


I created this replica of Baby's First Steps once used as the perfect gift for any parent or guardian who wished to preserve the memory of their baby's growth and progress. 



I made the sleeve from a glassine bag and added the stamps and ornaments myself.



I also created one for baby's first tooth.  



And on the back, there's a spot for baby's name and date of the event.  Enjoy!

aaahhh, these are sweet, Chris. And they especially got to me, as we have new babies in the family now. Love that "baby's first steps" card. You did a great job creating these. I like how you added a bit of ribbon at the bottom.
