Sweet Baby-Pop up gift card holder

Hi crafters!! 
Recently on the Cricut Cut Ups facebook page.. fellow crafters had posted some pictures of wonderful gift hard holders they had made from the inspiration of Mary over @ Cardztv ...
Well, of course I had to try my hand at it too...
Here is my version of the pop up gift card holder...

 

 

I have a few friends that are expecting now and thought I would be proactive and get some baby shower cards made and ready ahead of time... I had this cute designer paper stack from DCWV called Nana's Nursery: Baby Boy.  I used the inside DP from that stack.. The paper was suppose to be on the outside, but I goofed and glued all the pieces in the same direction, but when folded, the bottom piece was upside down... Word of advise for all, make sure of the direction of any printed pattern paper before you permanently glue it in place!!!!   It still looks nice on the inside...   I cut out the "congratulations" and  baby rattle die cut from my Cricut New Arrivals cartridge and cut the rattle @ 1 3/4inch and the "congrats" @ 2 inches.  "100% Princess" sentiment is from Jaded Blossom. 

Instruction and measurements to make this card can be found over at Mary's blog or YouTube Channel... or click on link here....Pop up gift card holder video.

 

In addition to giving this card as a gift, I was planning on submitting it into the following challenges

1)  fantabulouscricut : Challenge #226- Kids Theme.. I figured babies are still considered kids... just very tiny and cuddly kids. 

2) Craftin Desert Divas: : Craft it up-Link it up Linky Party # 39- Any thing goes.... I am trying something new and thought it would be great to showcase it here.....

3) Hiding in my craft-room:  HIMCR #163- Freestyle
