 Another cute baby card, this time I have tried something diffferent and came up with this "popout" free standing card. The crib etc are mounted on a flat 5x7 ins. card and on mine I printed my sentiment on the rear of the card, but if you wish to make a tradtional folded card then this should work as well.. The crib and wardrobe pops out from the card by way of concertina fixings and folds

I have had so much fun with this I had to stop myself as the elements wouldn't all fit on (maybe I will do some addons for it later) Although I like easel cards there is never anywhere really to put a message so this is my solution -- the hatbox lid slides out ans has a tab attached where you have space to put a short message verse etc. Created in GSD, AI, KNK, WPC, SVG & PDF the pdf has

Finally sat down and finished off some of the templates that has been waiting for conversion and a littlee bit of tweeking here are a couple of them that I particularly like. The bird in the gilded cage is very fine cut and needs to be done using a sharp blade and a sticky mat - in addtion I suggest using neith a fibrous card nor a card with a bonded layer..

So I gathered all my disks together read the instructions then crossed my fingers and went for it. I thought easy I have done this before so will be simple, well let me tell you it was anything but and had to eventually admit defeat and ring the

Made this to put in some homemade cookies for a friend who was a little bit poorly and needed cheering up... I used plain white cardstock and found some free printables and printed different pattern on each side then cut on my pazzles and just decorated with a chrysanthemum that I made (template coming soon) and ribbon.
