Baby Card with fun Gift Card Pocket


Hi everybody!! I am so happy you came by today. I have a cute little baby card to share with you.


I love all the little details I added to the little stroller including buttons, gel pen stitching and a cute "Congrats!" stamp.


Here is the inside of the card.  It features what I think is a perfect sentiment for a baby card.


This is the card standing up.  You can see the gift card pocket on the inside.


I added some white gel pen details to the baby's face as well as stamped on the features.


Here is my fancy fold:  I took a 5 3/4" x 10 1/2 sheet of textured card stock.  I scored it at 4 1/4" and at a half inch in each direction to make a total of three score lines and then accordion folded the card base.  This created an "M" fold.  I sealed the two sides closed on the underside and that left just the 'valley' fold on the inside of the card base. 


 I added a clear plastic badge holder for the gift card pocket (cut to 3" and then punched with a scallop punch.


Here is a view of the empty gift card pocket. You can also see all the texture of the card stock base in this photo.

Supplies:
textured blue card stock base
Black card stock layer
blue polka dot paper is Heidi Grace
blue checkered paper
tan card stock
Gelly Roller white  gel pen
Pop dots
Scotch Quick Dry Glue
ATG glue runner
 sentiments are Scrappy Mom's Stamps and Hero Arts
ribbon from Michaels $1 bin
buttons from Michaels $1 bin
Clear plastic badge holders from Dollar Tree 10/$1
