Another busy day again. I had promised the girls at work I would make a new baby card for one of our girls who has just had a baby boy. Congratulations, Nicola!
So, I spent most of today resizing and editing some papers from the Lilac Garden (http://thelilacgardendecoupagesite.co.uk/) and from an old issue from Crafts Beautiful for this card. It is quite a big card, the card blanks measuring 34x24 cm. Below you can find some of the papers used and several images of the card.
Here is a picture of the outside of the card. I printed off 3 copies of the backing paper from Crafts Beautiful and cut out 3 different layers for decoupage for the added 3D effect. On top of it are 2 stamps 'It's a boy!' and 'Congratulations' with of course at the back of the card a 'Handmade by' stamped image. As you can possibly already see it is another of the pop out cards.
A close up of the front of the card.
Next is the first view of the inside of the card. I have left a lot of clear space around the decoupaged spinning image and background paper for people to add their own wishes.
Some close ups of the dangling, spinning images. A lovely image of a baby in a pram and 2 tags above it 'Congratulations' and 'Baby'.
A close up of the decoupaged image, the same image is stuck to the back of this one to make spinning it still look nice.
Underneath the decoupaged image another tag, 'Baby Boy'.
And another closer up picture of the front of the card.

And looking at the card from above. You can just see the spinning image.

I hope you also like this new card. I am quite pleased with it and hope the girls at work are also pleased with it as well as the new mum liking it as well. Most of the day has gone into making this card (at least in between the shopping and school rounds).
