Pop Up Baby Shower Cards feat. Lawn Fawn Elephant Parade

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. I couldn’t resist making a baby pop up card with the Lawn Fawn Elephant Parade stamps after seeing the one Mona from the Lawn Fawn design team made (Baby themed pop-up box card with Mona). It was so damn cute!

Granted these pop up cards take a very long time to make so I made two! LOL. Actually I originally made this card for my mom to take to a baby shower but wanted to share it with you all and I just had to make a “masculine” and “feminine” card. Obviously you can make this in the color scheme the parents choose or go with a gender neutral color if you don’t know their colors.

For this card, I die cut the bases from I die cut the sentiment panel from Stampin’ Up! Basic Gray 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock and Lawn Fawn Kraft 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop Up Dies. For the outside pattern panels I used Pebbles 12 x 12 Special Delivery (discontinued) and Echo Park IT’S A GIRL 6 x 6 Mega Paper Pad. I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 2-3/4 x 3-3/4″ for the larger outside panel which creates a space for your message.

For the grassy areas I used Simon Says Stamp 100# GREEN APPLE 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock and the Lawn Fawn Simple Grassy Hillsides Dies. The flowers were die cut using Lawn Fawn Straight Flower Border from Lawn Fawn Single-Sided Petite Paper 6″X6″ Perfectly Plaid Remix (discontinued?) and Simon Says Stamp 100# GREEN APPLE 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock. The banner on the front panel was die cut from Pebbles 12 x 12 Special Delivery (discontinued) and Echo Park IT’S A GIRL 6 x 6 Mega Paper Pad using the Lawn Fawn Fancy Wavy Banners Dies.

I stamped all the images for both cards from the Lawn Fawn Elephant Parade, Lawn Fawn Elephant Parade Add-on and Lawn Fawn Hello Baby (discontinued) Stampsets onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento TUXEDO BLACK Ink and colored with Copic Markers.

I used C00 & C3, R20 & R30 for the elephants; C00 & C3, R20 for the mice; and BG000, Y000, & R000 (blue card) and BG10, Y000 & R000 (pink card) for the bubbles; Y00 & E55 for the peanuts; BG000 & 0, B32 & B37, Y02 & Y15, BG11 & BG34 (blue card) and BG10 & 0, G12 & G82, Y000 & Y02, R00 & R20 (pink card) for the bottles; BG11 & BG10 (blue card) and R000 & R00 (pink card) for the banners; Y00, Y02 & Y15 for the crown; G12 & G82 for the bow; Y000, Y00, & Y02 for the balloons; and Y000, Y02 & Y15, B32 & B37 (blue card) and R00 & R20, Y000 & Y02, G12 & G82 (pink card) for the rattles.

All images were die cut using the coordinating dies.

These cards fold flat to fit into a regular A2 envelope. My balloons go outside the box top so I made a custom envelope to fit it better.

Peekaboo Window Slimline Card Using Simon Says Stamp’s February 2021 Card Kit

kittieslovecrafting

Hi friends. Here’s a fun interactive peekaboo window with hidden messages for Valentine’s, Galentine’s or any day you want to share love. I pulled out an oldy but goody interactive die from Lawn Fawn and combined it with the Simon Says Stamp February 2021 Card Kit Love You Beary Much. I love the Tumbling Hearts 6 x 6 stencil included in this kit! It is so easy to make a pretty background with it. I will show you how I was able to use it on a slimline card.

The Kit includes:

I started by cutting a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored a at 3-1/2″ to create the card base and another piece to 3-1/4 x 7-1/4″. I used Catherine Pooler Designs It’s a Girl Ink to create a gradient background then used the Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Tumbling Hearts 6 x 6 stencil and Catherine Pooler Designs Rouge Ink to create gradient of hearts over the pink.

Next, I used the Lawn Fawn Lift the Flap Dies to cut out three windows on the top panel. I backed the top and bottom windows with a piece of paper from the Simple Stories Sweet Talk 6 x 8 paper pad and stamped a sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Love You Beary Much Exclusive 6 x 8 stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to place behind the center window. And adhered that panel to the card base.

I stamped all of the images from the Simon Says Stamp Sweet Truffles Exclusive 3 x 4 stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and some conversation hearts from the Simon Says Stamp Love You Beary Much Exclusive 6 x 8 stamp set.

I colored all the images with Copic Markers. I used E23, E25, E29 & E49 (for chocolate truffles); R81, R83 & R85 (for the truffle wrappers, sprinkles and decor, hearts); R05, R17 & R29 (for hearts); BG000, BG01 & BG02 (for sprinkles and decor, hearts). I fussycut all the images and adhered some to the inside of the card and some on the outside.

To finish it off, I added some White Gloss Nuvo Drops.

On the inside of the card I kept it simple, and just stamped the sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Love You Beary Much Exclusive 6 x 8 stamp set with Catherine Pooler Designs Rouge Ink onto Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″, fussycut and adhered it to the card. I also added nother truffle image.
