Zoo Babies Panda Baby Card

Hi everyone,

It's my turn to post a tutorial on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog today for the Coloring Design Team. Today I am playing with the Krista Schneider Zoo Babies stamp set and coordinating dies to create a baby card. For some reason I seem to be making girl baby cards lately, but this card could easily be changed to suit a boy just by changing the colors of patterned papers used.

Here is how I created my card:

Step 1 - 

• Cut a piece of pale pink cardstock so it measures 4 1/4 inches x 11 inches. Score and fold at 5 1/2 inches to create a top folding card.
• Use the second largest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangles die set to cut a rectangle from dark pink cardstock.
• Use the second largest rectangle from the Fitted Rectangles die set to cut a rectangle from designer paper (from ModaScrap Sweet Vintage Rose Patterned Paper Pack).
• Cut a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 3 3/4 inches x 3 inches
• Cut a piece of dark pink cardstock that measures 3 3/4 inches x 3 1/4 inches. 

• Layer all pieces onto the folded card using photo above as a guide.

Step 2 -

• Use the third smallest square from the Stitched Squares die set and die cut a square from designer paper.
• Use the fourth smallest square from the Dotted Scallop Squares die set and die cut a square from dark pink cardstock.
• Use a trimmer to card the square in half diagonally (see photo above).
• Adhere one half of the square to the left hand side of the card using foam tape. (refer to photo below).

Step 3 -

• Using the Zoo Babies Clear Stamp set, stamp out the bear; present and single flower onto White Soft Finish Cardstock using black ink.
• Use coordinating dies to die cut each image and adhere to card using foam tape for the bear and present.
• Decorate the edges of the white rectangle and the half square panel using Glitter Borders Peel-Off Stickers.

Step 4 -

• Stamp a sentiment from the Baby Clear Stamp set to the lower right hand corner of card using black ink.

Step 5 - The Inside of Card:

• Use the second largest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangles die set to cut a rectangle from dark pink cardstock.
• Use the second largest rectangle from the Fitted Rectangles die set to cut a rectangle from designer paper (from ModaScrap Sweet Vintage Rose Patterned Paper Pack).
• Cut a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 3 3/4 inches x 3 inches
• Cut a piece of dark pink cardstock that measures 3 3/4 inches x 3 1/4 inches.

• Layer all pieces together and adhere to the inside of the card using photo above as a guide.

Step 6 -

• Use the remaining half of the square we cut in half in step 2 to adhere to the left hand side of card. 

Step 7 -

• Stamp the "Baby" and "Girl" sentiments from the Baby Clear Stamp set to the white panel.
• Color the 'Baby" sentiment as desired.
• Stamp the trio flowers from the Zoo Babies Clear Stamp set to the top and bottom right hand corner of white panel.
