Step-by-Step Guide to Capturing Your Baby’s Prints

Posted by Vanessa Romano on

Every parent wants to hold onto those precious first moments—your baby’s first smile, first laugh, and of course, those tiny hands and feet. Capturing these prints is a beautiful way to preserve memories, but traditional ink can be messy and stressful. That’s where inkless milestone cards come in: mess-free, safe, and simple.

Step-by-Step Guide to Capturing Your Baby’s Prints

 

  1. Prepare your cards: Lay your card on a flat surface and make sure your baby’s hands and feet are clean and dry.
  2. Wipe: Wipe the area you are printing, ensuring you cover all fingers and toes - set aside your wipe on a dry paper towel so no residue stains any surface. Have baby wipes near you to clean your own hands.
  3. Print: Grab your baby’s hand or foot firmly and press onto the card, you can push down and lift up or a heel to toe roll - the inkless technology will transfer the print 
  4. Let it dry: While the print dries quickly, it can take up to 1 hour for it to completely develop, during this time your prints will get darker.
  5. Clean: Use soap and water to clean baby’s hands and feet to remove any left over residue - remembering to also clean your hands. 
  6. Capture: Take your monthly milestone photo and store your precious keepsake in our photo album.
