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

BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!

Hey crafters...
Its that time of the year..... kids heading off to school.  Last year, I made a cute supply cake for my then Kindergartner to take for her first day of school.  This year I just could not get all of the supplies in time, so I opted to make a card instead...
Mary over at CARDZTV made a very cute S-fold card the other day. Please head over to her blog to check it out-- here is the link to the video for the card.

Here is my take on the "Back to School" card

 

 

 I had the DCWV " The Grade School" stack, which I love and have used previously in different school projects for my kids.  When I cut the DP for the inside panel I had notice that "teacher" and "first grade" were right in the center and thought it was perfect to highlight that part since the card was meant for her first grade teacher... Perfect coincidence!!!!  I used the Cricut Recess cartridge for the pencil and Locker Talk for the sheet of paper.   I left the inside panel blank so my kid can sign her name and will add the gift-card to the bottom of the inside panel... I used some 3-D stickers I had in my stash for the letter.
All in all, I really love how this card turned out... Thanks Mary for the inspiration to make this card!!!!


This week both My Craft Spot and fantabulous cricut challenge blog  have challenges going on with back to school themes, and I am planning on submitting the card in...

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you enjoyed the card..
