It must have been a long winter, because it's baby time!  If you have a friend or family member who is expecting their new bundle of joy, here is a super cute baby card that I created using the All For Baby bundle from Stampin' Up!.  Here's how the magic happens:

Inside of card:  5 1/4" x 4"  -  Basic White

First layer:  5 1/4" x 4" –  5 1/4" x 4" – So Saffron

Second layer:  5" x 3 3/4" – Basic White

Scraps:  Basic White, Gingham DSP, cardstock in coordinating color for hanger

 

Basic Instructions:

1.  Cut and fold card base. 

2.  From the Basic Borders dies, cut a piece of Basic White card stock using the cloud die to create a stencil.

2.  On Basic White layer for the front of the card, punch a circle from a post-it sticky note and apply to the white layer for the sun.  Then, using the Blending Brushes and the cloud stencil, blend Pool Party ink as desired to create clouds at the top half of the card.  Then, tear a piece of printer paper for the grass layer and blend using Granny Apple Green and the blending brushes onto the bottom half of the card front.  Remove the sun mask and replace with the cut-out from the circle punch and blend So Saffron ink onto the sun.

3.  Stamp the clothesline from the stamp set onto the panel using Soft Suede ink in about the center of the card or slightly higher than center as desired.  Stamp the clothespins onto the clothesline, making sure to space them apart appropriately for the baby outfits to hang evenly across the clothesline.

4.  Adhere this front panel to the So Saffron layer, then apply the So Saffron layer to the card front.

5.  Using the Baby Clothes dies and Gingham DSP, cut out one of each outfit from coordinating colors.  Adhere Stampin' Dimensionals to the backs of the outfits and place onto the card front below the clothespins. Adhere gems as desired for buttons on the outfits.  Cut out one additional outfit for the inside layer of the card as well as a hanger from a coordinating color of cardstock.

5.  Stamp a sentiment as desired onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and die cut with the label die from the Meadow die set.  Apply Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and apply to the card front.

6.  For the inside layer, stamp a sentiment as desired.  Using liquid glue, adhere the hanger to the back of the baby outfit, then adhere the baby outfit to the lower right corner of the inside layer using liquid glue.  Adhere this layer to the inside of the card.  Adhere embellishments (gems, sequins, etc.) as desired for buttons on the outfit.

7.  For the envelope, stamp the bear image onto the lower right corner of the front of the envelope using Cinnamon Cider ink.  Cut a piece of coordinating Gingham DSP for the envelope flap measuring 2 1/2" x 5 3/4".  Apply glue to the envelope flap, then apply the DSP, trimming around the edges of the flap.
