Baby booties gift card holder

The Stampin' Up! Trim Your Stocking Thinlits Dies aren't just for making Christmas Stockings - why not make baby booties and slip a gift card inside for expectant friends.

Stampin' Up! Christmas Stocking by Angela Lovel, Angela's PaperArts

To make the baby bootie, I used the Stampin' Up! Trim Your Stockings Thinlits Dies to create the Blushing Bride card stock stocking and the pillowbox which goes on the back of the stocking.  I then diecut and adhered the contrasting trims using the Bundle of Love Designer Series Paper.  The sentiment is from the Moon Baby stamp set and was diecut using one of the smaller Sweet & Sassy hearts framelits. A piece of Gold Natural Trim was added to the top of the bootie.

Born to be loved card

Spring is in the air and a couple of friends are due to have their babies soon.  I made this card in readiness for the arrival of one of the babies.

This card is a U fold card also known as a Bridge card and folds flat for posting in a C6 sized envelope.  This style of card has a real impact but is simple to make and can be used for any occasion - birthdays, weddings, Christmas etc.

Instructions
To create the U fold card:
  1. Cut a card base 27 x 15 cm and the bridge strip at the bottom of the card 21 x 3.5cm
  2. Score the card base long side at 6cm, 9cm, 18cm and 21cm and fold along the scorelines to create the recessed 'U' shape (6cm & 21cm scorelines = mountain fold, 9cm & 18cm scorelines = valley fold).
  3. Decorate the card to suit the occasion.
  4. Optional: If you want to add an additional layer of embellishments between the front and the back of the centre U part of the card, add an extra support bar across the U space.  This support piece is 12cm x 1.5cm, scored long side at 1.5cm and 10.5cm.  Adhere the two 1.5cm scored end pieces (mountain folded) to the inside of the U for extra support and to hold more embellishments.  I've added some diecut flowers & hearts/stars on window sheet onto this layer.
  5. Adhere the 21 x 3.5cm bridge strip across the front of the card, from edge to edge to connect the two sides.
  6. I've added my message to the new parents on the back of the U part of the card.
  7. To fold flat for posting, press down both sides flat in the same direction (e.g. push the two sides to the right).

For my card I've featured the Stampin' Up! Born to be Loved and Moon Baby stamp sets and the Bundle of Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I've used the Stampin' Up! Gold Embossing Powder to keep with the Gold and Very Vanilla colour scheme.  All supplies used can be found at the end of this post.

Moon baby card with a sneak peak

I'm going to a baby shower soon and couldn't resist using the Stampin' Up! Moon Baby stamp set to create this card.  It also has a sneak peek of the new Card Front Builder Thinlits dies which will be available from 1 August.

Stampin' Up! Moon Baby stamp set card by Angela Lovel, Angela's PaperArts

To create this card I started with a Stampin' Up! Daffodil Delight card base.  I then took a piece of Whisper White card stock and diecut the stars/moon along the top using a die from the new Card Front Builder Thinlits die set.  These dies will be available from 1 August 2017 and can be bundled to get a 10% discount when purchasing the Carols of Christmas stamp set.  Whilst these dies are bundled with a Christmas stamp set they are versatile and don't have to be used on just Christmas cards. 

I then stamped the stars and baby onto the Whisper White cardstock and layered a piece of Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper at an angle along the bottom of the card stock before adhering it to the card base.  A piece of 1/8" sheer Whisper White ribbon was adhered along the diagonal edge too. I also used some of the Birthday Memories DSP to create the baby's jumpsuit and Silver Glimmer paper formed the umbrella to which I added a small Rhinestone coloured with an alcohol marker.  The sentiment is also from the Moon Baby stamp set, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and diecut using one of the smaller Layering Ovals dies.  A co-ordinating scallop Layering Ovals die was used to diecut some Daffodil Delight card stock to go under the sentiment.  A couple of Silver Glimmer stars were diecut using the small star from the Santa's Sleigh thinlits set.

Here are my Card Front Builder Thinlits dies and Carols of Christmas stamp set and you'll see the top die was the one used to create this card.  These products sold individually or as a bundle will be available to purchase from my online store from 1 August 2017.  I'll have more card samples available soon using this bundle - so please check back later.
