Hope you are having a great day! Today, I have a sweet baby card to share. I saw this carriage on Pinterest and wanted to make something like it. By looking at the photo, I was able to figure out which punches and die cuts to use to make the carriage. I also made a coordinating envelope with an Envelope Punch Board (Stampin' Up). I used the Eyelet Edge punch to decorate the edges of the envelope.
Materials List:
CS: White and Pretty in Pink - Stampin' Up
DP: Cloisonne stack - GCD
Stamps Stampin' Up (retired)
Ink: Old Olive -SU
Dies: Scallop Circle - Sizzix; Circle -Spellbinders; Rosette - A Muse Studios;
Punches: 3 sizes of circle punches; Scallop Circle punch; Eyelet Border - Stampin' Up
Decorative Tile Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug
Instructions:
- Make a card from white CS and layer with Pretty In Pink CS
- Dry emboss a piece of white CS and add to card front
- Make the carriage:
- Die cut a scallop circle from Pretty In Pink CS and cut out a fourth of the circle
- Die cut a circle (slightly smaller than the scallop circle) from the DP and cut it in half
- Glue half circle to pink scallop circle
- Cut the DP with the rosette die--fold up a length that fits onto a fourth of the scallop circle and glue in place
- Cut the border from white CS and glue to the edges of the carriage -- on the area where the fourth was cut away
- Punch the wheels with circle punches
- Glue the carriage to the card front
- Add brads to the wheels and glue in place
- Add a pink ribbon
- Add the handle
- Stamp a baby sentiment and punch out and layer onto a scallop circle
Inside:
- Stamp a sentiment on the inside-Victorine Originals
- Stamp a carriage (Stampin' Up retired) and color with markers
- Add a strip of DP cut with the edge punch
