Pop Up Baby Card

Hello my crafty friends! Today I'm sharing the baby card I made for our niece & her hubby, who had a baby girl recently 🥰.   The patterned paper is one I've had in my stash for YEARS as well as that sweet ribbon. The paper has some sparkle to it and I used a pink pearl glimmer foil for the other elements.

Since it's Fun Fold Friday on my blog, this card has a little surprise inside ... it's an explosion card! I have been making this type of explosion card for over 30 years (gasp). I would go into our kids classroom with a suitcase full of stamps & ink pads and teach these to the kids.  This card started with a 9" square of patterned paper. I think I will have to do a YouTube tutorial on this fun fold for those who haven't seen them before. Adding it to the list!

Since I also did some reverse foiling, there were areas of pink pearl foiling left on the cardstock after die cutting the circle and Congrats inside. So I pulled out an old heart punch and punched out the hearts from the leftover area. No waste and they coordinate perfectly!

I spelled out the baby's name using an alpha die set and rainbow holographic cardstock. Everything that is available is linked below. 😊

"Welcome Twin Girls" Slimline Pop Up Card

Hello my crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing the card I made for our Nephew and his wife who had twins last month. I have a walkthrough of my card on YouTube:  

I used mostly dies by Karen Burniston (which I linked below) but added in the Waffle Flower Slim Lacy Layers as I adore the edges on this set. The patterned paper is soft and celebratory at the same time and I added two little ducklings to the front to represent the two girls.

Inside, there is more of the pretty paper - which is just perfect for this family - and I used the Little Labels Pop Up along with more of the Baby Charms.

I took advantage of the stencil feature on the Baby charms, and of course added a little Wink of Stella and mirror card stock too. Also some of those sweet Rainbow Hearts from Doodlebug.

Oh Baby Slimline Shaker Card

Hello!  Today Crafty Meraki is sharing another week of new stamps and dies for their Anniversary Release. Friends of ours are new Grandparents, and I wanted to make them a card to celebrate so the new "Oh Baby" stamp set was perfect!

I used the Three Room Studio Slimline die to create the shaker card, and decorated it with fussy cut images from the "Oh Baby" set.

Here is a peek at the inside, where there is lots of room to write our message.

One more look ...

Baby Boy Shaker Card

Hello crafty friends ...

Today I'm sharing a shaker Baby Card I made for a friend who is a new Grandma. Well, not new anymore - that sweet baby is 4 months old and because of COVID I still haven't met him or been able to visit with my friend. Hoping we can change that with a porch visit soon, although I won't meet the little one for awhile yet. 

The card is a larger than A2 card & envelope package I got years ago at Michaels. I also pulled out my Blueprints die set - I love those sets and I'm always happy to have invested in the ones I did before they were retired! I also pulled out some cute papers and elements from Doodlebug Designs.

I didn't add a verse or sentiment inside the card, but wrote a personal note instead. 

Supplies:

Blueprints #31 - MFT Stamps

Patterned paper - Snips & Snails, Doodlebug Designs

Acetate

Various shaker filler - Kat Scrappiness, Studio Katia and others

Doubled Charm Accordion Baby Card

Hello crafty friends ...

This is one of those cards that is just better in real life, but seeing it on a video is the next best thing! 

I have had this patterned paper for many years, and it was fun to pull it out again for this card.  This card was not difficult, but it sure did take a long time. I would suggest being familiar with how the Charm Accordion goes together and probably do one first with scrap card stock before you cut into the nice stuff. Also, I used wet glue to add the patterned paper panels to the white card base so I'd have some 'wiggle room'. That was probably the hardest part of the project.

Below is how the card looks opened, and likely how it will be displayed.

The Charm Accordion comes with a die that cuts 4 jump rings, which is what I used here. I did secure them with a TINY piece of card stock so they didn't come open. Another step that took awhile and is not necessary - but I didn't want to put all this work into the card and find out that a charm fell off while they were enjoying the card.

Folded, the Charm Accordion is ~3.25" wide, so slightly narrower than a Slimline Card which is 3.5". But it still works and fits perfectly in a #10 Business Envelope.

Finally, you can see the back of the card here. I didn't add decorations to the backs of the accordion panels, but you definitely could.

In the next photo, I am showing how I created the doubled Accordion. If you click on the photo it should open up larger, in a separate window for a closer look. The white card base was folded in half and the fold is at the top. I placed the Charm Accordion on the fold, with the top cut line ABOVE the fold so it didn't cut. Other details are on the YouTube video.

Supplies:

White card stock

Patterned paper - Baby Girl Stack, DCWV (old, from my stash)

1007 Charm Accordion - Karen Burniston

Scallop border die - Papertrey Ink

Mila's Baby Card

Good morning friends

Our nephew and his wife welcomed a new baby girl into their family, and this is the card I made for them.

The peel -off pony sticker is one I've had for a very long time.  I adhered it to white card stock with double sided adhesive on it, then poured silk microfine glitter over top and burnished it in with my fingers. Colour was added with alcohol markers then I fussy cut the pony out and adhered it to a framed card stock circle with an Action Wobble.

The patterned paper has pretty glossy and/or sparkly bits in it - so pretty!

Inside, I used one of the journal cards (or cut-aparts) over Karen Burniston's Cupcake Pop-Up to create the pop-up inside.

I am loving the stitched scalloped borders by Prickley Pear stamps. I penned the words on another framed circle.

Finally, a side view so you can see the pop-up a little better.

Supplies:
Pink card stock
Patterned paper and Cut Aparts - DCWV
1008 Cupcake Pop-Up - Karen Burniston

Blue Bunny Baby Pop-Up Card

Good morning friends

My friend recently became a Grandma for the first time, so I made her a card to celebrate. No surprise there, ha ha.

I saw a fun interactive card by Jen Long at CHA this year ... in the shape of a CACTUS. Well you know I had to have it. I stalked the on-line shops waiting for it to come in, and when it did I also added this one to my shopping cart. Like the cactus shape, this is called a Fold-a-Long, specifically the Ticket Fold-a-Long.

Karen Burniston's bunny charm is just adorable, and the Paper Pros (formerly KB's Designer Challenge Team) used it in quite a few different ways. Here I trimmed off the hanging charm, and used the openings in the die to add the face, heart and colour the ears.

Like a gatefold card, this one opens from the centre and that centre label pops forward. To hold it closed, I added a belly band on the bottom edge and added one of the smaller stitched hearts to it. In the top photo you can see the belly band, even though it blends in with the patterned paper. Below you can see it with the opened card. On the patterned paper, the baby feet are flocked with white - so sweet.

Finally, here is a top view so you can see how the card works a little better.

Welcome to the world of being a Grandma, SB ... it's a fabulous place to be.

Ticket Fold-a-Long - Sizzix

Patterned paper - Me and My Big Ideas

Lace Heart die - Elizabeth Craft Designs

Baby Boy Pull Card

Good morning friends

It's Flip-It Friday here on my blog, and I have a baby pull card to share.  Joset at Elizabeth Craft Designs had a baby boy in January, and this is the card I sent to her & her family. I used the Spiral Circle Pull Card by Karen Burniston for the card base and some new stamps to decorate the circles.

The banner set on the front was free with Stampin' Up's Sale A Bration, and the sweet little bunny and bird are new Krista Schneider stamps available at Elizabeth Craft Designs. The corner dies are also ECD.

Inside I added a stamped and die cut banner, as well as another little stamped bird.

Flip-It Baby Boy Card

Good morning friends

It's Flip-It Friday here on my blog, and I used some sweet stickers to make a baby boy Flip-It card for our nephew & family.

I've said that I want to use some of my older products this year - so this card uses an older border die by the Stamps of Life. It makes a fun zig-zag border!

I made a belly band to hold the card closed, adding a strip of cloud Washi Tape across the centre. There was one sticker left on the sheet, so I made a coordinating tag to add to the baby gift. No way I was going to store that one little sticker!

The stripes on the little jumper sticker actually match the stripes on the baby's gift so that was a happy coincidence.

Supplies:
White card stock
Triple Circle Flip-It die- Sizzix
Patterned paper - stash
Border die- The Stamps of Life
Stickers - dollar store
Chalks - Craft T
Staedtler fine point markers
Washi tape
Tag topper punch - Stampin' Up
Sheer ribbon

Card size - A2    clear bag envelope, hand delivered
