I was going to do something completely different for my card for this challenge, but when I went through the box of dies/stamps sitting on my desk which I had purchased recently I found a few things which would work for this challenge so I decided to use those instead.

For the front of my card I used MFT Stamps Centerpieces Congratulations Die-namics which is great for making shaker cards for babies and graduates. As you can see I created a baby card. The acetate is behind the Congratulations block so that the shaker pieces don’t fall out.

Of course you know I love creating Pop-Up cards so I used the Lucy Labels Pop-Up Die set designed by Karen Burniston’s for Elizabeth Crafts Designs. I turned the card on it’s side so it was in the same orientation as the front of my card.

To decorate the inside of my card I used MFT Stamps Beautiful Baby Stamp set with coordination dies.

Here is a close up of the left side of my card. The Sentiment is stamp and layered using the Elizabeth Craft Designs Tag Die set.

And finally a close up of the right hand side of my card. I have again used the Elizabeth Craft Designs Tag Die set for the sentiment.
