Jill’s Baby Shower Card
Last week, one of my coworkers asked me to create a special baby shower card. Her daughter-in-law’s shower was going to be held in Wisconsin, but the mother-to-be lives in California. The shower hostess requested all gifts be shipped to California, but include a message or picture of what will be sent inside the baby shower card. So not only did Jill want me to create a special card, but a purposeful card as well.
To be honest, I don’t often create special-order cards, but I certainly didn’t want to let Jill down.
Most of my project includes RETIRED Stampin’ Up! products…WAITING FOR THE RIGHT PROJECT STORAGE comes to my rescue again.
Basically, the card is a gatefold card with a hidden message section.
#1. Basic gatefold design – Used Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette, and Something Borrowed DSP.
#2 Closed card without embellishments
#3. Gift scan mounted on Top Note Die used as the “hidden message” (Pink Pirouette)
#4. Inside piece – front section of “hidden message” Top Note. Used Something for Baby stamp set, Circle Framelits, pearls, twine for hair, bow punch from Cookie Cutter punch, 1/4″ circle punch for face.
#5 Back section of hidden message cover. Love our new adhesive strips! Keeps the Top Note from sliding down.
#6. Inside panel with hidden message cover and Top Note message attached.
#7. Finished card with tag (Jill used the tag for another item) made with Stitched Framelits. Sweet Essentials Stamp Set for the baby phrase.
#8. My final card and the baby shower invitation. Even I surprised myself at how closely I matched the designs.
Jill squealed in delight when I handed over the card creation. It was the talk of the lunch table, and I heard it was adored at the shower.
Glad to be of service, Jill. You definitely jumpstarted my stampin’ mojo.
